If square wheels were even slightly workable, Danish designer Michael Ubbesen Jakobsen would have used them in his Bauhaus-inspired BauBike. The pared-down bicycle is designed around the geometric shape of the square, and its main raw materials are minimal: some metal and leather. The bike has the same astonishingly classy vibe as Marcel Lajos Breuer's Wassily chair, a Bauhaus design icon Ubbesen Jakobsen most likely studied during his education at Southern Denmark's respected design school in Kolding. From the small touches, such as the BauBike-embossed leather strips that wrap around the handlebars, and the gorgeous springs under the austere saddle, it is easy to see that Ubbesen Jakobsen is a meticulous designer, a serious tinkerer and, at least in the case of BauBike, an elegant minimalist not afraid to have some fun. So far this year, BauBike has appeared at the Salone in Milan and at the DMY International Design Festival in Berlin We are not yet clear when and how we can get our hands on one — equipped with the second saddle accessory — but we are hopeful it will be soon. - Tuija Seipell
This years Geneva Auto Show stunned audiences with a car which teeters on the edge of an optical illusion. Exasis, is a transparent Rinspeed creation has an insect like body, transparent high tech plastic and yellow trim. At first glance it looks like a large scale Meccano set, upon closer inspection the image is literally transparent! Perfect for someone with a Wonder Woman fetish who wants to re-enact the invisible plane routine. How did that poor woman ever find where she parked that damn thing? We suggest adorning it with beaded seat covers ala Taxi Drvier style to help it stand out in the crowd. by Andy G
Mazda's current design philosophy is moving in decidedly Zen-like circles. Like a child throwing pebbles into a mirror-still pool of water, the Japanese brand cast the diametrically different Sassou, Senku and Kauri concepts far out into the design community in 2005/6 and waited to see which way the ripples would take them.
From these three focal points an inward momentum was created, an inexorable circular movement towards a production car bearing a completely new Mazda design language. That car, hints Mazda North America's Design Director Franz von Holzhausen, will appear in pre-production form at the company's home auto show in Tokyo later this year.
'It's like a concentric circle,' explains the soft-spoken California-based designer. 'With the Sassou, Senku and Kabura we struck out in a bunch of different directions, but eventually we're going to land in the middle at something that you can go into the showroom and buy. For the moment, however, they're still circling the outer reaches of a design philosophy that Holzhausen has dubbed 'flow', or Nagare in Japanese.
At the Los Angeles Auto Show last November, this new form language physically manifested itself in the first of a troika of striking new concepts: the Nagare. A radical grand tourer for the year 2020 designed by Mazda's studio in Irvine, California, Nagare borrows the most successful elements from its three conceptual forebears and translates them into what Holzhausen describes as a 'concept of a concept car'.
'Flow is the study of how nature expresses motion. If you look at a desert landscape, it appears as if the air is moving across the sand even though you can't see it. That's what we wanted to create: a way of introducing ideas of texture and motion into the surface language,' explains the Pontiac Solstice designer. 'That's the thing: it's not just a stuck-on detail or a cliched road stance. We've got a lot of freedom to explore this.'
The most striking thing about the Nagare's design is the deep etch lines that run along the car's flanks. They converge, fading as they go, to an invisible point above the rear wheelarches before re-emerging and fanning out to form filigree-like strands of orange light that make up the rear light clusters. Like ripples on a sand dune, they create a sense of air moving across the vehicle, of unseen motion - a theme picked up by the twisted lines that form the headlamps. Sidewinder trails are what come immediately to mind.
The Nagare, says Holzhausen, was just the first expression of flow. For the Detroit show in January, the Irivine studio team distilled this idea into a deliberately more feasible and down-to-earth form: the 2010 Ryuga sports car concept. Again, deep etch lines dominate the overall look, and the Senku-inspired shark's head nose and sidewinder lights remain. But the feel is less extreme, especially inside where the Nagare's diamond-pattern seat configuration gives way to a more conventional 2+2 layout. 'It's still about motion,' insists Holzhausen, 'but in a much more calm and quiet way. Like a Japanese rock garden.'
Meanwhile, the Geneva show will debut an even more grounded expression of the philosophy, this time designed by the company's studio in Frankfurt, Germany. Something equally exploratory but more believable, promises Franz. As radical, as avant-garde, as these cars feel now, by the time we get elements and themes into the finished car two years from now, people will be like 'yeah, we've seen this. It's a Mazda'
Personally, I doubt people will be so blase. While parent company Ford's European arm continues to talk in a loud voice about its Kinetic Design philosophy and expressing 'energy in motion', Holzhausen has found a way of actually translating this into something you and I can touch, and hopefully buy. Interestingly, the US-born designer says that the roots of this can be traced back to Spring 2006 edition of Intersection, the one with the Colani concept on the cover: I saw that car, the way it was shot from above with those organic, flowing shapes, and said 'that's the kind of car we need to build'. All my recent concepts have sprung from that point. By Euan Sey. Exclusive online extract from Intersection Magazine.
Mobile living might not be for everyone - but those adventurous enough to give it a shot. Living Is.be has crafted a fully-functional living space within the bed or a truck.
Two hatch skylights provide natural ventilation and allow sun to illuminate the interior. A double bed was installed at the rear of the truck allowing two adults to sleep comfortably. Running water is not only used in a functioning sink, but is also used in a sunken shower that was placed directly behind the cab of the truck. A kitchen stove ensures meals can be prepared - whether driving through an urban area or traversing rugged terrain. By Andrew J Wiener.

In an attempt to revolutionise the process of car design, David Hilton, founder of Motorcity Europe, along with C2P Automotive, created the MC1 Supercar in just three months. Hilton, who spent much of the formative part of his career working for Ford, believes the MC1 will be production-ready by 2011, if he finds the right client. Presently, the mid-engine, V10-powered supercar has no set identity or branding. We�re willing to bet a recognisable logo will soon sit neatly within its grill.
By quickly translating computer-based design into engineering, Motorcity Europe achieved a radically different approach to supercar design in regard to its proportions and manufacturing processes. While certain aspects of the exterior appear entirely futuristic from nearly every angle, the MC1 looks like one of those cars we always dreamed we could afford. Fortunately, all anyone can see right now is the outside - the interior will be ready this spring. By Andrew J Wiener
We're back to tell you about another missed opportunity to add another supercar to your fleet. Bugatti has built the Veyron 16.4 'Pur Sang,' or 'pure blood.' The Veyron, a special addition version, is one of the world's fastest cars ever made with a top speed of over 400 kph. Again, all five models have been pre-purchased for approximately $2 million each.
Bugatti has been off the radar for quite some time, but with the introduction of the 'Pur Sang' clad in a revealing paintless carbon and aluminium structure, the Volkswagen-owned manufacturer has clearly repositioned itself among the world's most exclusive and exceptionally engineered automobiles.

The trend for customizing 1970s and 1980s motorcycles continues apace. The blinged-out chopper with raked forks and shiny paint is officially dead: today, customers are demanding sleek, minimal café racers.
The shift was inspired a few years ago by workshops such as Denmark's Wrenchmonkees. Today, builders like Café Racer Dreams (Spain) are buying up and stripping down old Hondas and BMWs. Like the CRD machine we're looking at here. Called "Brownie", it's a 1980 Honda CB750 on a diet.
It's also a textbook example of the mods that custom bike fans are looking for in 2012. The electrics are hidden—even the battery—to throw focus on the mechanical components. The brown, gold and black color scheme is low-key but luxurious, like a fine piece of leatherwork.
Unlike many builders, Pedro Garcia of CRD is not a one-trick-pony. His latest creation is a 1971 BMW R75/5 (above) converted for dual sport use. When not being ridden around the streets of Paris by its new owner, it's blasting down fire trails and kicking up dust.
And the Wrenchmonkees, who kick started it all? Things are good in the state of Denmark. There's a clothing line in the works and they're collaborating with major brands such as Levi's. They're even getting commissions from switched-on nightcubs, with the "Club Black" series of display bikes (above). - Chris Hunter, editor of Bike EXIF
Quickly now, name a cool camper, caravan, trailer, motorhome or RV. Indeed, the only thing even close to cool in this category is a something retro. But this may be changing. Forget the 1973 Winnebago Mini Winnie, forget Shasta Airflyte, forget even the shiny retro Airstream, because a new generation of caravans is just being introduced at the Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf (August 30-September 7, 2008)
Visitors to Europe's biggest camper show are getting a first look at the prototype of Mehrzeller, a completely customizable trailer. While RV designers and manufacturers the world over were nodding off at the wheel, Theresa Kalteis and Christian Freissling, two students at Austria's Graz University of Technology's faculty of architecture, decided to make a move. Their thesis project on 'mobile living solutions' under professor Peter Schreibmayer was going to be not just a theory; it was going to become reality and something that will change the world of trailers.
They made the very simple assumption that the people who know best what the ideal camper needs are the people who will use it. On the Mehrzeller's project website, the designers explain (in German) that when their 'configurator' interface is fully functional in the spring of 2009, potential buyers can input their data and wishes, and order their unique Mehrzeller camper online. The name Mehrzeller can be translated as 'moreceller,' i.e. something with more cells. The name is fitting as the pods or units that form the Mehrzeller in various configurations do look somewhat 'cellular.'
The production will be based on the principle of mass customization, and production costs will not be significantly higher than those of standard campers. The basic architecture and design parameters remain the same, while the customers get to choose pretty much everything else. Using the configurator interface, they input the number and age of the people and animals that are going to be using the camper. Then they input the usage of space - eating, sleeping, cooking, working, entertaining, relaxing and so on - and the relative importance of each function. The system will then determine the floor plan and generate a 3D rendering. Next, the buyers select the materials and appliances. The program then calculates the price and creates the production specifications.
Mehrzeller will most likely move forward, and not remain just a crazy one-off prototype, because it has the backing of such heavyweights as BMW, 3M and many others. If you cannot catch the camper in Dusseldorf, you can see it at the Caravan Salon Austria, held in Wels October 15.-19, 2008. By Tuija Seipell (via squob)
This one's for all you bike enthusiasts — or those of you who maybe don't know much about the ins and outs of motorcycles, but share a passion for fascinating imagery and maybe even dream every once in awhile about speeding relentlessly down the highway on two wheels.
Australia-based designer, Chris Hunter compiles a daily dose of cool bike images on bikeexif.com.
From BMW airheads to Goldwing bobbers, Hunter pulls together the most interesting biker photographs from around the world. Bike EFIX is the place to see all the best bespoke, custom and even vintage motorcycles for all you design-obsessed bike fan out there.
And Hunter, who has a particular liking for the Italian dream — the Moto Guzzi — is on the right track for attracting those who appreciate new and classic design on two wheels. - Andrew J Wiener
Engines, interactive displays, Porsche memorabilia and 80 cars – including prototypes and icons like the 911, all polished to a mirror-sheen – are parked on two floors of pristine, white galleries.
The collection includes a 550 Spyder – the model James Dean was driving when he died in a collision with a Studebaker in 1955.
Other models, like the 917 type Hollywood star Steve McQueen made famous in "Le Mans" and the 928 version Tom Cruise's character in "Risky Business" used to elude trouble, are parked bumper-to-bumper under dazzling spotlights.
Three dramatic concrete pillars support the museum building, designed by the Viennese architecture firm Delugan Meissl, which seems to float above its industrial surroundings.
A handcrafted aluminum recreation of the very first Porsche, a Type 64 'VW Aerocoupe,' shines in the center of the first floor.
Prototypes on display include a 928 model almost long enough for four doors, a 1989 "Panamericana" with odd, frog-like curves and the darling of the museum staff: the 1992 Boxster prototype that won Best in Show at the 1993 Detroit Auto Show.
hopes to lure 200,000 visitors a year to the museum – competition for
the rival Mercedes museum, located a half-hour away in Untertuerkheim,
a Stuttgart suburb. (more visuals over at Autoblog )
Another iconic vehicle is about to be reborn and brought into the 21st century. This time it is the Mercedes-Benz 300SL that is getting the make-over treatment (that's the car with the batman-esque doors to you and me, or Gull-wings as they are known in the car business).
This beautiful badboy, first introduced to the roads in 1954, is to be modified by Arturo Alonso and his company, Gullwing America. This time round it will be much more powerful, easier to handle and of course, it will feature all the mod-cons that one has come to expect from a vehicle of its caliber.
Alonso is perhaps the best man to complete this task, being no stranger to the exotic car sector. He raced for years in a Mercedes 300SE, and he is also the engineer behind the Bentley S3 E concept from last year.
With an aluminum body constructed with aircraft composite technology and chassis made of powder coated steel, the car will be powered by Mercedes' M-133-55 engine, wired to raise the horsepower to 370. The new model will also feature striking red leather interior and an old-school instrument panel. The only hard thing left to do is to decide if you want the white one or the black one. - Brendan McKnight
What can we say? We just love Mini! We've been advocating the brand for many years… not just because we love the brand and its irreverent behaviour, but because we drive one! It is an amazing vehicle.
Ask any Mini driver and they will tell you that it is by far the best and handiest small car on the market, and it drives like a race car, too! And you can park it just about anywhere. While the big car drivers are circling the block for a parking spot, you've already parked and on your way to where-ever you were going.
And we are really excited about Mini Ray. It looks cool, is no-frills priced (only $28,880 drive away) and gives you all the car you need.
Of course, you will want to wrap your Mini in a cool TCH car wrap and really stand out from the crowd. Current fave? The Space Invader wrap. Driving CAN be this much fun!
Pushing the bar higher, the luxury motorcycle manufacturing company Confederate is set up to unveil its latest machine at the Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel California this month: the P120 Fighter Combat.
The new bike is made of a lightweight aluminum frame that wraps around an obvious massive engine, yet manages to maintain a somewhat graceful silhouette. Confederate, known for 'celebrating the art of rebellion,' has not released any additional specs or price on its newest design – but we're guessing you're not going to see too many of these on the streets of your cities. - Andrew J Wiener - via Bikeexif
Each year as the Tour de France presses on through the French countryside, our desire and envy for faster sleeker cooler bikes is reinvigorated. While the German Team Tentakulus is not preparing to train its riders to race against many of the world's best, their new Shocker bike could be highly competitive for cool. Most Shocker riders will probably never need to worry about changing gears or overtaking fellow riders on steep climbs through the Alps. Besides looking good, switching on the headlight for safe night cruising is just about the only true performance feature that comes standard on every bike. - Andrew J Wiener
The Mini Mokes was perhaps the most loved sun buggy of the 60's, 70's and even the 80's. What sealed its success was the simple lack of doors. The convenience of jumping in and out of a car without opening doors and then the added bonus of driving around topless made it very appealing.
Today, riding on that success, Fiat have created the Fiat Jolly Panda. Although it sounds like a Japanese game show, this car is a successful remake of all the things that made the Moke a hit. The FJP was first launched over summer where it was used to ferry VIP's on the island of Capri.
With the interiors created by Italian design co. Paolo Lenti who specialize in the use of innovative fabrics, the FJP looks stylishly sixties from within. On the outside, the car has been designed with nontoxic and UV ray resistant materials, centered around a simple structural design which makes the car appear almost seamless. It's simplicity is its beauty, with an added element of fun throughout the design. by Andy G
It's a little Mad Max, without the madness, or umm, the max. It's the Wothahellizat, the off-road, knows-no-bounds 6x6 turbo diesel motorhome with bite!
As many of us eagerly inch towards a mobile, nomadic lifestyle without wanting to sacrifice our digital obsessions, we find the things like the Wothahelliza providing the answer. Like all diamonds in the rough, this motor home looks less glamorous outside then it is practical inside. However considering the vehicle is capable off roading, beautification would be alike to wearing stilettos to the New York marathon.
Stay online, work from home and dare to roam. With a price that challenges that of a one bedroom apartment in most major cities, the Wothahellza is tagged at around $260,000, with a small catch. It's available only in Australia. by Lisa Evans
With world oil prices continuing to soar through the roof, alternative transport energy is a hot topic. The world's latest design in electric cars comes from what is possibly the world's most unlikely source, a fashion design house. Unveiled this week by Paris-based house Maison de Courreages, the Zoop is a high performance 150 kw three-seater electric car. Designers Andre and Coqueline Courreages got their start in fashion working for the legendary French house Balenciaga. Thanks to them the worlds of fashion and engineering may no longer be worlds apart. by Bill T
The 2 photos above were taken at Volkswagen's new storage facility in Wolfsburg, Germany. The actual space that the facility occupies is approximately only 20% of a comparable facility with the traditional design that is used primarily in the US. Not only is the German structure less expensive to build, but vehicles are also "retrieved" in less time and without the potential of being damaged by an attendant. Collecting your new car is an event in itself. "In a fully automated procedure, your new car is brought down to you from one of the 20-story Car Towers. Large signboards in the Customer Center show you when your turn has come. Then, you're handed the keys, your picture is taken, the glass doors open and your brand-new car appears. You're all set to go". Also, check out the transparent factory in Dresden by Bill T
For those who dream of a downtown residency without the associated cost of convenience, designer Michael Rakowitz has the solution. By focusing on the purpose of public space, he developed P(Lot), which enables the rental of municipal parking spaces for alternative living. In this regard, anyone can put some change in the meter and lease their own temporary car shaped encampment. His car cover canvasses are currently offered in the shape of a sedan, Porsche, and a motorcycle. In case camping isn't your thing, the Rebar Group have come up with another ingenious way to use municipal parking spaces. Their PARK(ing) initiative transforms parking spaces into strips of greenspace, complete with grass, a tree, and a bench. Passerby's are encouraged to feed the meter and enjoy this green refuge, while watching drivers search for an empty spot. by Harold C
How far will your need for speed take you? If you're like many of us, dreams of sitting in the cockpit of any kind of aircraft rolling through the clouds are unlikely to ever happen... until now. The US Air Force has teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports and built the stealth-looking Dodge Challenger Vapor – part muscle car, part fighter jet – all military strategy.
The designers fitted the body of the car with jet enhancements that would even make Batman look twice. Special radar-blocking black paint covers the car, while a stealth exhaust allows it to run virtually silent. A roof-mounted camera detects any type of movement within a quarter mile. Biometric verification via the driver's thumbprint gives access to the vehicle through gull wing doors.
All that's left to do now is strap on one of the custom-designed helmets, climb inside the cockpit and take off. Once seated behind the wheel (or wheels, as there is a passenger-side steering wheel as well), the pilot and co-pilot can use an advanced computer-system complete with internet access, a GPS tracking system, exterior proximity sensors, as well as switch on a thermal vision projection on the windshield to track enemy forces through the darkness.
Jumping back to reality, only briefly, the USAF designed the Challenger as a recruitment tool for future cadets. The military planned a Super Car Tour and is visiting various high schools across the US, along with a handful of auto shows to entice young hopefuls into military service. - Andrew J Wiener
It's the Star Trek deck minus Dr Spock. The Nissan Terranaut concept is graced with design features reminiscent of
aeronautics, rather than your run off the mill R.V. The interior is more like a station desk rather than a passenger vehicle. With an opaque and transparent roof, the Terranaut focuses on the details that set it in a class of its own. Warning: This is not a vehicle for soccer moms, this is serious! by Bill T
Style has rarely been a priority in industrial design for the disabled - until now that is. Designed in Hungary, the Kenguru is a car specially designed for wheelchair users. The car's interior space has no front seat, just a space built to house the drivers own wheelchair so all he/she has to do is simply roll in through the extra large car doors and into position. The wheelchair locks into place, within easy reach of the car's controls which are centred around a joystick. It's light years away from the current options for disabled drivers, which involve having to hoist themselves into the driver's seat of standard cars. by Bill T
The boat you see here is a 30-foot concept from designer David Borman. He has designed and developed it to be the efficient future of transport. "That Wally powerboat, which I think is $20 million for the 50 footer, it sucks down something like 2,000 gallons of fuel an hour and it only does 70mph. I'll be using less than a tenth of that amount of fuel going twice as fast."
"My tag line is: helicopter speed at a powerboat price. It's the ultimate status symbol, but it's got a practical side too. I love the Bahamas, love the Tortugas, but they're between 130 and 200 miles from here in Miami. If I were to have a conventional yacht that could only do 25mph and I've got a 3-day weekend with the kids, I might as well forget it. By the time I got there it'd be time to turn around and come back home. Scale up to a 64 footer Sea Phantom and you'd literally be able to cross the Gulf of Mexico with impunity. It would cruise at 150mph, you'd have room for several staterooms, and you could walk around in the wings. It would be fast enough to run from Key West to Cuba in 20 minutes, when Cuba opens up. It would literally take you longer to get out of the harbor at Key West and back into Havana than it would to make the actual passage."
Like a chimera between a stealth bomber and a submarine, the design is sculpted around the central body airfoil. "I was able to draw on NASA research, free over the Internet, from the '60s to integrate into my philosophy", David acknowledges. "I had to put a backbone on it to support the tail, and it just so happened that I had just seen a photograph of a children's model of the late 1920s Bugatti Atlantique, so I lifted it almost directly from there."
Borman has invested some serious time and effort in his dream project – thousands of man hours and $1.3 million in the project. But the rewards are potentially massive.
"The ultimate objective is passenger transport. For $2.5 million I'll have maritime transport capabilities similar to a $10-12 million aircraft. Not only at a fraction of the purchase price, but also at a fraction of the operating expense and I'm not encumbered by the FAA's rules. Airports are getting backed up; they've run out of expansion room. Aircraft can hardly get any bigger because the airports can't get any larger. 60% of the world's population live within 300 miles of a coastline; I could envision dozens of these just running up and down
the Florida coast alone. It could scale up to 90 feet if someone wanted to carry 100 passengers at high speed. It's a whole new world of transport."
The first customer Sea Phantoms will be 50 feet long, cost $2.5 million and be capable of cruising at 140mph with 24 people on board. By Wes Siler. Exclusive online extract from Intersection Magazine.

To celebrate the 3rd annual PARK(ing) Day, San Francisco based art collective Rebar decided to take things a little further, with their pedal-powered park on wheels; the Parkcycle.
This one-day global event encourages artists, activists and everyday citizens to temporarily transform parking spots into "PARK(ing)" spaces: temporary public parks. This time around an astounding 180 parks in 47 cities were created.
"The process of rethinking the ways streets are used is an important first step in making permanent changes in our cities to improve the quality of urban human habitat," says John Bela, cofounder of Rebar.
The Parkcycle, which can be cycled by a team of three, but enjoyed by many more on it's 7m lawn, features a 5m tall tree and solar charged battery which run's the cycles breaks.
With a top speed of 5mph, it is hardy going to get a yellow jersey in the Tour de France, but makes for an incredibly scenic picnic. By Brendan McKnight
Many of the world's automobile manufacturers use the North American International Auto Show as a platform from which to unveil new design and new concepts in car design. This year's exhibition just came to an end in Detroit, Michigan and we are happy to report there were at least a few new designs that caught our eyes.
A series of concept cars comprise the Lexus LF, or "L-finesse" line — and this year the Toyota Motor Corporation introduced the LF-A Roadster — a topless version of the previously revealed LF-A coupe. The LF series represents a new direction in design for Lexus — centred around the philosophy of intriguing elegance, incisive simplicity and seamless anticipation.
The high performance topless roadster will be set to compete with some of the most desired vehicles on the roads today. At a glace, the low-profile aerodynamic form is built from lightweight carbon fibre and aluminium, and a rear wing ascends automatically as a trigger speed is reached. While there is no official word yet about which type of top the LF-A roadster will be fitted with, we're expecting to see a fully automatic retractable hardtop as Lexus will want to keep its competitive edge. By Andrew J Wiener
Inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, US$1.5 million Lamborghini Reventon was unveiled. If numbers mean anything to you — the new supercar is powered by a 650hp 6.5L V12 engine, accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and has a maximum speed of over 340 km/h. The Lamborghini design team used the technical base of their Murcielago LP640, compressed it and then amped it up. As with other current models, the Reventon is defined through its sharp edges, smooth surfaces and aerodynamic lines. Tempted as you may be, put away your cheque books and credit cards, all twenty models that will be manufactured are taken as the Lamborghini brand reinforces its legendary status. By Andrew J Wiener
The annual Detroit Auto Show serves as a platform for American automobile manufacturers, specifically, to flex their muscles, so-to-speak — and this year the Chrysler Corporation did just that. Dodge unveiled three models of the Challenger that will be available in 2009: the SE (3.5 liter V6, 250 hp), the R/T (5.7 liter HEMI V8, 370 hp) and the SRT8 (6.1 liter HEMI V8, 425 hp).
Originally hitting the streets in 1970 at the dawning of a new generation of design in automobile manufacturing, the Challenger was one of the original American muscle cars (along with the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro). Power and steel were king, gritty, dirt solid performance ruled over clear smooth edges and lavish aesthetics. The auto industry in Detroit was destined to enter its glory days.
Now, almost 40 years later, the auto industry, especially in Detroit is facing more than a handful of obstacles — including attempting to recover from an arguably failed race to build the largest petrol-guzzling trucks on the market. Compact and fuel-efficient has been all the latest rage — but what about performance? Based on the model chosen, Dodge almost guarantees blood-pumping sensation. The SE model doesn't come with racing stripes and spoilers like its two bigger brothers, and the less sporty version only has a single exhaust pipe in the rear, rather than duel pipes on the more powerful models.
Dodge believes a retro-styled coupe can deliver exactly what auto enthusiasts are seeking in the three Challenger models: a varying array of performance options and features including voice-activated MyGIG Multimedia and UConnect systems, Remote Start with Keyless Go and five-speed manual models get the Hill Start Assist. Time to kick up some dirt — driving's about to get messy again! By Andrew J Wiener
Whether your cargo is kids, laundry, groceries or beach gear, the coolest way to haul it is the Madsen Cargo bike. These handy urban transporters from Salt Lake City, Utah, can carry 271 kg (nearly 600 pounds) either in a bucket or on a rack. The bikes and the buckets come in three colors: dramatic black, yummy cream and sweet baby blue. Accessories for the bucket include seat belts and a seat for your progeny, pet or bride. The creative heads at Madsen are constantly tinkering with the bike and accessories, and according to their blog, a lid for the bucket is in the works. With their long tails, these bikes command attention. - Tuija Seipell
Some motorcyclists just want a cheap commute to work. Others are speed freaks seeking the ultimate expression of individuality and power.
For these guys and girls, the dream machine is a Confederate Fighter or MV Augusta F4CC. But a few riders will aim even higher, and these are the people the 135hp Ecosse Iconoclast was designed for. It's effectively a shopping list of high-end motorcycle components, based on Ecosse's existing Heretic model.
After handing over your £44,000.00 (US$69,000), you get a bike with car-sized 2-liter engine. It's machined from solid billet aluminum, and wrapped in a hand-welded custom frame that also stores the engine oil. The bodywork is carbon fiber; suspension comes from the favored brand of MotoGP racers, the Swedish company Öhlins.
The Iconoclast is quick, at less than three seconds to 60 mph. But you'll need to be even quicker to get your hands on one. Just eleven will be made, and they're exclusive to 20ltd.com—an online gallery that only sells limited editions, from fashion to jewelry to furniture.
If the Ecosse represents the ultimate motorcycle available today, the RogueMoto KickBoxer reveals what might be in showrooms tomorrow. It's a concept from designer Ian McElroy, and uses Subaru's rally-bred WRX motor for propulsion. The engine is turbocharged for even more grunt, and feeds into a Baker Torquebox—one of the few motorcycle gearboxes able to handle sportscar levels of power. If the KickBoxer makes the transition from CAD program to showroom floor, the Ecosse will have a serious rival at the stoplight Grand Prix. - Chris Hunter
We are wondering why it is that car manufacturers are tripping over each other inventing boring and redundant "super modern" and "high design" cars, when the end result is a sea of lookalikes. One can no longer recognize a "premium" make from a lower-end car, certainly not by distinctive and recognizable design features.
They are unimaginative, uninspiring and suffer from a serious case of follow-itis. As opposed to being leaders and, in particular, design leaders. We see design tweaks and add-on features advertised as if they were a revolution when in fact, there's nothing really significantly new or exciting. No wonder so many are giving up cars altogether. Why spend all that money to get what?
Our hopes are up a bit with a sighting of the carbon fiber-bodied "Bella Figura" Bugnotti. It is Delahaye USA's tribute to Ettore Bugatti's son, Jean, and it was inspired by the 1937 classic Type 57S. This retro beauty will debut at the Retro Auto at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Aug. 13-15 in Monterey, CA.
We are all for going back to the basics, to looking at the best and most beautiful models of the past and resurrecting them. For example, there is nothing to add to the iconic design of a classic Saab. It was designed for minimal drag and that was partly the reason why the Saab was such a hot ticket as a rally car in the 1960s. And they had 3-cylinder engines, too.
Imagine if we could again drive cars this cool? Of course, they'd have the relevant and useful modern technology and electric power as well. Why is that not possible? - Bill Tikos
There's not much about American muscle cars that scream hot pink, but the 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 manages to elegantly blend the strength of the form of the iconic design with the unexpectedness of the bold fuchsia color. The limited edition 'Plum Crazy' model comes with a matching seat-stripe insert, and holding true to the Challenger heritage, the hood has a raised center, black stripes and functional dual scoops. Of course purists can choose from more standard colors, but we all know the more vibrant option certainly caught our eye.
The philosophy "race inspired, street legal" underpins all Dodge models with Street and Racing Technology (SRT), and the Challenger is no exception. Muscle car enthusiasts can expect high performance in a car ready to tear up the streets – so anyone behind the wheel can look bad-ass – even in fuchsia. - Andrew J Weiner.
The motorcycling world loves a 'barn find'—an old, obscure machine wheeled out of the woodwork for the first time. And this is one of the biggest revelations of recent months. It's a 1930 Henderson that was customized before WW2 by a fellow called O. Ray Courtney and fitted with 'streamliner' bodywork.
The art deco influence is obvious; legendary automotive designer Harley Earl could have drawn those curves. It's all the more unusual because the mechanicals are hidden: even at the height of the Art Deco movement, most motorcycles were a triumph of form over function, with exposed cooling fins, brake drums and suspension springs.
The bike is owned by collector Frank Westfall of Syracuse. It caused a stir in June 2010 when it appeared at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet, a motorcycle show held a couple of hours drive north of NYC. Grail Mortillaro (of the chopper blog Knucklebusterinc) had a camera to hand, so we have him to thank for these images.
Henderson was a Chicago brand and one of the American 'Big Three' (with Harley-Davidson and Indian) until the onset of the Great Depression. It went bust in 1931. But you can see the influence of the 'streamliner' style on another contemporary North American brand—Victory. If there's a spiritual successor to this Henderson custom, it's the Victory Vision Tour, a gargantuan cruiser with completely enclosed bodywork and not a leather tassle or saddlebag in sight.—Chris Hunter of motorcyle design website - Bike EXIF.
Some design is classic. Some design is innovative. And some of the most interesting design seamlessly blends classic styling with innovation.
Vizualtech's Bo Zolland specializes in technical illustration and custom design - using modern influences to transform the chassis of cars from new to old.
Zolland created a series of renderings of a 1955 Ford Thunderbird for a client. The car will be built from the body and components of a 2009 Ford Mustang, but will be completely remodeled to resemble the classic lines of the T-Bird - proving that the reverse can be true: from the new can come the old. - Andrew J Martin
The era of chrome-and-billet choppers is drawing to a close. Even Harley-Davidson dealers are swapping the leather tassels for carbon fiber and murder-black paintjobs. In the UK, a south coast dealer called Shaw Speed and Custom is setting the pace, creating show bikes that win at the world's top custom motorcycle shows—and beating the Americans at their own game.
In the build-up to the AMD World Championship held at Sturgis, the latest two bikes from SS&C are creating a stir. The 'Nascafe' is a low-slung, dragster-influenced machine created in association with the American watch manufacturer Bell & Ross. Embedded in the tank is a $4,000 BR 01 Carbon timepiece, a further touch of originality.
The XLST3 is another radical departure from the norm. Dirt-track tires and race plates give the bike a sporty look rarely seen on Harleys, and the stock suspension has been replaced by high-performance items more commonly seen on superbikes.
These are not the sort of motorcycles the Teutel family builds on American Chopper, and they're all the better for it. Harley-Davidson is taking note too, with a new 'Dark Custom' range designed to attract younger, more style-conscious bikers. - Chris Hunter of Bike EXIF
Here's the car we've been waiting for! Frantic buzz about the cool Range Rover Evoque started some time ago which is why the first 250 to arrive in Australia sold out immediately.
This has been the global reaction to this vehicle. It is a true prestigious Range Rover with all of Range Rover's reliable bush-worthy qualities; it just happens to come in a very compact package with the look and feel of a stylish, city-worthy vehicle — one tester compared it with a Prada handbag -- and with unprecedented fuel-efficiency.
We are most excited about the five-door sporty coupe versions you can customize in a number of ways and in many colour combinations.

It would seem a shame to take one of these black retro beauties out into the unforgiving streets of a Detroit winter. It might be best to display the hand-crafted Madison Street bike indoors, perhaps in the living room, nicely leaning against the mantel. It certainly deserves a place next to other pieces of art.
Detroit Bicycle Company founder, Steven Bock, builds each bike to order from the finest parts. For those who appreciate high-quality bike parts, all frames are made with Columbus SL CRO-Mo tubing and Nova lugs. The Madison Street's main attractions are the beautiful copper-plating of the Campagnolo and Cinelli parts, track rims with Vittoria Zaffiro tires and the inimitable Books leather saddle.
Each bike is customised, so prices vary, but we've seen complete bikes priced at $3,200 and up. - Bill Tikos

Cyprus Bailout, Bank Run Spook Markets
Markets around the world are lower today after a run on bank deposits in Cyprus over the weekend. That followed a decision by euro-zone officials to tax depositors to help pay for a national bailout. There's concern that the new bank crisis could spread to Italy, Spain and beyond.

Youth ComplexWritten by on December 1, 2000 The Next Generation Shows Up
Any group of vintage car or truck lovers will eventually tackle this subject of conversation: the future health of our hobby and how many young people are involved with older cars and trucks. Businesses that manufacture parts are, understandably, even more curious to know about the buying habits and interests of the next generation. Since old trucks are a bit more affordable than Deuce coupes, they often allow an enthusiast to build auto equity with a lower entry fee. A little coaching from experienced friends and relatives is all these next-generation car nuts need to prove theyre ready to carry on their own love affairs with vintage vehicles.
Edward Lipowicz IV of Lees Summit, Missouri, and his cherry 1940 Ford pickup came to our attention in Lincoln, Nebraska. As we were taking a few event photos, a family friend mentioned how Ed was only 18 years old. Our first thought was that someone had likely parented the very well-built project 1940 most of the way, but testimony from friends and family didnt support our assumption. We also learned a little about the Lipowicz familys values. Wise fathers try to impart lessons in responsibility and sacrifice when their sons reach the age of want-ing their own wheels, and this project was just such an opportunityplus quality father and son time.
A rusty hulk of a 1940 Ford, minus the bed and rear fenders, was found somewhere in Kansas for $500. The grille (and everything else) was trashed, but the long-forgotten 1940 must have sent out some kind of vibe to the then 15 ½-year-old Ed. Otherwise, its doubtful this project would have ended with such wonderful results.
Fortunately, the Lipowicz family has friends who have demonstrated their personal love of old cars by building their own. These friends offered to lend a hand when the task required more experience or finesse than Ed might have providedlike painting and upholstering. As the project progressed, Ed discovered how much he enjoyed the hands-on use of tools. He liked it so much he is now seriously considering making his involvement with old cars permanent by choosing it as his career.
If thats the case, old-timers shouldnt worry about the future of our hobby. It will obviously continue to evolve (barring restrictive legislation) and will continue to be based on personal taste and economics. The next generation will bring as much desire and dedication to the hobby as the last generation. Their cars and trucks may not look exactly as we might imagine them, but thats OKours didnt look like our fathers either.

A Maverick 8-inch rearend handles the torque.An internally stock 1993 Mustang 5L engine sparkles under the peaked hood—electronic fuel injection and a few Ford Motorsport items dress it up.The extended cab gives 6-foot-tall Edward plenty of leg and headroom. Notice the seatback angle on the Pontiac Grand Am bucket seats. The half-wrapped Weld steering wheel and all interior panels are covered with chamois-colored Ultraleather by James Carter.Dakota Digital instruments provide information on vital fluids. Vintage Air A/C keeps the cabin cool.The space behind the reshaped seat backs is filled with a variety of Rockford Fosgate Fanatic speakers.After extending the cab, Ed figured side-hinging the tailgate wouldn't be too difficult a task. The bed was filled with sturdy diamond-plate steel, and the rolled rear pan houses custom taillights.The project was in pretty sad shape when first brought home—the grille was toast and the original bed and rear fenders were gone. The cab eventually needed patching all around the bottom 5 inches.
After a fair amount of deliberation, it was decided to extend the cab 12 inches and shorten the bed an equal amount. As he was extending the cab, Ed discovered that the rear panel of the cab needed to be widened about 1 inch, adding to the labor involved. At that point, however, there was no turning back. The exterior door handles were then shaved as well.An overhead console was built down the center of the extended roof. Notice how the 1/2-inch-square tubing was formed and welded overhead.The firewall was fabricated from 10-gauge steel and notched for a Mustang 302ci engine and a four-speed AOD trans.New dash panels, new floor panels, speaker pods, and a custom instrument console were fabricated from fresh sheet steel. Edward started to learn how to bead-roll the edges of panels. As a result of all the new support structure, the cab started taking on greater strength.Fresh sheetmetal was formed and welded around the windshield opening, including the A-pillars. If you check the front 3/4-shot, you'll notice the windshield glass is now flush with the exterior sheetmetal surfaces—a nice touch. The driprails were filled as well.In this photo, the modified body panels are coming together for a trial fit before heading to the paint shop. Ed welded the hood seam, the running boards were smoothed, and the small panels (shortened now) below the bedsides were finessed—another neat detail.As we mentioned, the original grille was unserviceable. Edward decided to make a new grille rather than purchase an original or reproduction grille. Anyone who has attempted to create such an item will tell you this is tougher than it looks. Edward did an excellent job geting a very clean and modern look that has continuity with the rest of the details.After Bruce Lenhardt sprayed the DuPont Guards Red, the chassis was prepared for body panels. Brake and gas lines were plumbed. A Heidt's front crossmember mounts Mustang II A-arms, and Air Ride Technologies airbags are plumbed for a cockpit-controlled adjustable ride height.Next comes wiring all the electrical components: instrumentation, stereo, ignition, lights, etc. A Painless panel was employed under the dash. Ed says that the wiring was wrapped up in one weekend. During the building of the truck he learned many skills from his dad and friends, such as Tony Vargas and Bob Schumaker.
Two Optima batteries are mounted in the seat riser. The extra battery is primarily to power the high-amperage Rockford Fosgate Fanatic speakers.During Americruise 2000 we selected Ed's pickup for a Passing the Torch Award. Unfortunately, someone else was also selected for the same award, so we presented Ed with a Just Because Award and sweetened the pot with a photo feature in this issue. The cover photo was a bonus and reflects the fact that Ed learned more than mere fabricating skills from his dad and friends.

(WUSA9) -- Virginians have a few more weeks to weigh in on a debate over abortion clinic regulations. The final public hearing on the issue took place Tuesday in Alexandria.
Opponents say the new rules would force most of the state's 20 remaining clinics to shut down. Those regulations require clinics to meet the same standards as hospitals - a total of 460 new construction guidelines.
Supporters say the regulations are needed to ensure health and safety.
The Board of Health's public comment period ends March 29th.
Senator Barbara Favola gave the following statement to representatives of the State Board of Health at the John Marshall Public Library in Alexandria, Va.:
For almost four decades, Virginia's women's health centers have provided safe, accessible and comprehensive reproductive health care. Virginia's women and families need access to these services.
As responsible decision-makers and advocates for good health, we should want women to have access to cervical cancer screenings, breast cancer screenings, pap smears, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, and contraceptive health care. Women also need access to counseling and referrals when they are the victims of rape, incest and sexual abuse. All of these services, and more, are provided at the 21 health centers throughout the State that will be subject to these regulations.
However, the costs associated with meeting the building requirements of the proposed TRAP regulations will be so prohibitive --clinics will be forced to close. Women in many parts of the State will be denied access to basic primary and preventive care. Women will also be denied access to safe and affordable abortions, forcing many to seek back alley procedures that could physically harm them for a lifetime. If we care about improved health outcomes for women and children and if we care about lowering abortion rates, then women need access to the entire range of reproductive health services offered by these centers.
I remind the Board that in1973, Justice Harry Blackmun, in his majority opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court, defended a women's right to make her own personal medical choices, stating: "This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. The detriment that the State would impose upon the pregnant woman by denying this choice altogether is apparent."
These TRAP regulations are intended to coerce clinic operators and medical personnel into denying women access to safe and legal abortions, even though the right to access such procedures was confirmed by the Supreme Court 40 years ago. There is no medically necessary reason for these new TRAP requirements. What really is going on is politicians are playing politics with women's healthcare. In effect, politicians are denying women the ability to participate equally in the economic and social life of the Nation when women can no longer control their reproductive lives.
Virginians believe that abortion is a deeply personal and often complex decision for a woman and therefore decisions about whether to choose adoption, end a pregnancy, or raise a child must be left to a woman, her family, and her faith, with the counsel of her health care provider.
But these regulations will allow government inspectors to demand a year's worth of patient lists from women's health clinics that perform abortions. This is government intrusion into the most private decisions. Virginians do not want their government interfering in these matters.
You know and I know Thomas Jefferson envisioned a Commonwealth that would embrace a role of limited government;
-- A Commonwealth that respected an individuals' right to privacy;
-- A Commonwealth that was not in the doctor's examination office; and,
- A Commonwealth that did not let politics come between a patient and her
As a former member of the Board of Health, I know that this Board has always considered the facts associated with the allocation of medical resources. You have not been swayed by the "politics" of the day. I implore you to continue to exercise your best professional judgment and not be intimidated by Attorney General Cuccinelli and his far right ideology.
I ask you to not apply the physical requirements contained in the TRAP regulations. Honor your statutory responsibilities and provide a recommendation that improves access to needed health care in the State. Give Virginia's women and families a chance for better and healthier lives.
Thank you for your attention.

This blog post is a response to the Telegraph story "Biblical images, Google Earth-style"
On 3/12/2010, my life changed forever. The notion of a creator God went from a distant cartoon in my mind, to suddenly staring right over my shoulder in one swift moment. A split second of fear and shock shot down my spine, and on that life changing day while exploring earthquake faults and locations on Google maps (Satellite), I discovered that God wrote the whole biblical story in the formation of the earth.
"When the river comes and all the cards are turned over, there will be no unbelievers" – An American from Illinois

Woman charged with organized fraud
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 6:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 6:05 p.m.
A former community center employee accused of stealing money and items from the venue was arrested Tuesday and charged with organized fraud.
Linda M. Huffman, 49, was arrested at her Fort McCoy residence by Deputy Daniel Miller.
According to Miller's report, money taken from the Fort McCoy Community Center at 1405 E. County Road 316 was used by Huffman to purchase alcohol and "take out others at the community center."
Huffman was employed there as a bartender.
An official at the center told the deputy that money from the juke box, cash from a bank bag and several items, such as a propane cylinder, were missing.
Huffman admitted selling the center's popcorn maker to a Veterans of Foreign War post in Astor for $25.

This necklace is great!
Sometimes I don't like ordering things online because it's a matter of perception versus reality. I am glad that in this case, the necklace looked as good as it did online! I was very pleased with it and it doesn't look like anything anyone else is wearing...this is the main thing I love. Even though I am a grown woman, married with two kids, i LOVE Hello Kitty! I feel this type of jewelry represents women like me...not a kid,but still liking things normally associated with a younger crowd. Thanks for a classy way to pull this off!!! highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the most popular tools in technical analysis that is used to predict a shift in a stock's momentum is known as the relative strength index (RSI). This indicator's primary purpose is to determine when a given rally is becoming overbought or oversold. Generally speaking, readings below 30 suggest that the stock has been pushed to an unjustifiably low level, causing most bullish traders to start looking for a strategic entry position. On the other hand, readings above 70 are often used to suggest that the rally is getting exhausted and that the bears may be getting ready to send the stock lower.

The Basics
The indicator is plotted between a range of zero to 100 where 100 is the highest overbought condition and zero is the highest oversold condition. The RSI helps to measure the strength of a security's recent up moves compared to the strength of its recent down moves. This helps to indicate whether a security has seen more buying or selling pressure over the trading period.
The standard calculation uses 14 trading periods as the basis for the calculation which can be adjusted to meet the needs of the user. If the trading periods used is lowered then the RSI will be more volatile and is used for shorter term trades. (For more, see Ride The RSI Rollercoaster)
How It Is Used
As mentioned above, the most common method of applying the RSI is to use overbought and sold lines to generate buy-and-sell signals. In the RSI, the overbought line is typically set at 70 and when the RSI is above this level the security is considered to be overbought. The security is seen as oversold when the RSI is below 30. These values can be adjusted to either increase or decrease the amount of signals that are formed by the RSI. Let's take a look at a few stocks that have recently entered overbought territory because these could be candidates for a pullback if the broad market selling pressure continues.
Company Name
RSI Value
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT)
AboveNet (NYSE:ABVT)
Allergan (NYSE:AGN)
PowerShare QQQ (ARCA:QQQ)
Coca Cola (NYSE:KO)
Unitedhealth Group (NYSE:UNH)
Bottom Line
The RSI is a standard component on any basic technical chart and is a great method of filtering stocks that could be setting up for a short-term pullback. In most cases, traders will want to confirm any buy or sell signal by using other technical indicators or chart patterns to increase the probability that a predicted move will actually occur.

Hysterectomy is the surgical term for the removal of the uterus (womb). This results in the inability to become pregnant.
There are different types of surgeries, such as:
You may have a hysterectomy if your uterus is causing health problems that cannot be treated by other means. Some reasons a woman may have a hysterectomy are to:
Explore your options before having a hysterectomy. There are other treatments for many of these problems.
If you are planning to have hysterectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Be sure to discuss the risks with your doctor before surgery.
Your doctor may do the following:
You should do the following:
General anesthesia
is usually used for this surgery. Anesthesia blocks pain and keeps you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV in your hand or arm.
You may be given antibiotics just before surgery. There are two different methods that are described here.
The doctor will make a cut in your lower abdomen. This is done to expose the tissue and blood vessels that surround the uterus. The tissue will then be cut. The blood vessels will be tied off. The uterus will be removed. Next, the doctor will sew the tissue back together and close the skin with stitches or staples. If the cervix is also removed, you will also have stitches put in the back of your vagina.
This method will not involve any outside incisions. The doctor will stretch the vagina and keep it open with special tools. Next, the doctor will cut free the uterus and cervix. The connecting blood vessels will be tied off. The doctor will then remove the uterus and cervix through the vagina. Lastly, the doctor will close the top of the vagina with stitches.

Looking for that golden glow without exposing your skin to harmful UVA and UVB rays? There's nothing like a little instant gratification to boost your look and confidence! Simply stated, self-tanners are the only safe way to get a tan. Many self-tanners are available with built-in sunscreen, but if you choose one that doesn't include sun protection, don't skip this crucial step! Almost all self-tanners contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which is the active ingredient that dyes the skin brown. DHA is essentially a natural ingredient, comprised of the simple sugar present in plant and animal carbohydrate metabolism. As with any cosmetic or paint, even application is important to avoid streaking. Thoroughly cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing your skin prior to applying self-tanner will help provide a smoother, streak-free application.
Some helpful hints: be sure your skin is completely dry prior to applying a self-tanner and let the product dry completely on your skin after application, as self-tanners can stain clothing and bed linens. Choose from a variety of self-tanning bronzers for both body and face, available in powders, lotions, towelettes, sprays and gels, and give yourself a healthy, sun-kissed glow, without risking the health of your skin.

Interview and Giveaway with Sophia from Sophia by D.B. Reynolds
Their house is like something out of a fairy tale, all gold and white and sparkling lights. It sits on the waterway, a glittering enticement to all who pass. But none would be so bold as to venture onto its manicured greens. For a Vampire Lord lives here—Lady Sophia, Vampire Lord of the Canadian Territories, with her beloved mate, Colin.
"Oh, please," I said, walking up behind the woman and trying not to retch. "What the hell is that?"
She turned to stare at me. "Excuse me? Who are you?"
"That's my question, babe. This is my interview and thank God for that, if you put anymore saccharine on that prose, my readers would be vomiting all over their computers. Where'd you learn to write anyway?"
"I'll have you know—"
"Oy, give it a rest! You look down your nose any harder and your eyes are gonna' cross.
She puffed up like a angry cat. "Why, I never!"
"Exactly," I said. "Which is why I'm Huff and Puff's star reporter, and you're some hack trying to steal my score. I'm the one who snagged not just Raphael, but Cyn, and this is definitely my interview. So move that stick up your ass right on back to that fancy car of yours, and— The woman's eyes got really wide and she looked over my head and sort of gasped.
I turned around slowly. Well, hellooooo, Mr. Hunk of the Month! I hurried up the stairs, hoping against hope that this wasn't Lady Sophia's beloved mate Colin (where did she learn that crap language anyway?) If this was him, er he, then he was definitely off-limits and women everywhere had lost a truly world-class piece of gorgeous male. Yum.
"Colin Murphy," he said in a deep voice, shattering my fantasies. "Lady Sophia's Security Chief. And you are?" He looked past me to the stuffy chick, probably wondering what the heck was going on.
This definitely didn't look good. I was embarrassed for my profession. I gave Stuffy a glance over my shoulder that said "you'll never work in this town again." Or it would have if I hadn't stumbled on the stairs since I was looking over my shoulder. Gah, could this get any worse?
"Huff and Puff News Blog, sir," I said in my most professional voice. "I believe my people (that would be my mom) spoke to you earlier."
He studied me for a moment—such pretty blue eyes, and with that dark hair … like I said, world- class.
"Right," he said, dragging me out of my fantasy. "But we only expected one person."
I felt movement behind me and realized we weren't alone. (I've always wanted to say that!) "A misunderstanding, Mister Murphy," I said, forcing myself not to turn around. "I suspect my colleague (as if!) got her details confused." He frowned. If that bitch cost me this interview, I was going to—
"Fine," he said, nodding at someone over my shoulder. "Escort that one off the premises."
Stuffy squawked behind me and I turned around. We were surrounded by vampires! I almost felt sorry for her. (Snort. Not really. Not even close! It's a dog-eat-dog-world in this business, baby!)
"Come in," Colin said and stepped back from the door.
I climbed the rest of the stairs. There were a lot of them. I had to admit Stuffy was right about the house. It was pretty spectacular. A tri-level on some river or something (Hey! There's a lot of water around Vancouver! I can't tell them all apart!) Anyway, it was nice. New digs, though. I made a note to ask about that.
My friend Colin (smirk) led me into the house and I have to say it was gorgeous. Huge windows everywhere, wide open ceilings. Sophia was one lucky woman, living in this awesome house with the awesome Colin. It just didn't get any better. I sighed . . . a little too loudly, I guess, because Colin gave me a weird look.
"You can wait in here," he said pointing me into a room that was all leather couches and plush rugs and more windows looking out over whatever that water was. "Have a seat."
He said that last part a little too firmly, like maybe he thought I'd wander around, which I wouldn't have! Probably. Anyway, I sat. And after just a couple of minutes my fantasy lover returned with … oh, boo … Lady Sophia. So much for my fantasies. If Colin went to sleep with her every morning, what did he need me for? Damn. I stood as she walked into the room. After all, she's the equivalent of vampire royalty. But mostly, she's just so beautiful and there's something about her that makes you pay attention. Power? Charisma? (Look at me, I'm like a real reporter! How cool is that?)
Sophia gave me a smile like she knew what I was thinking. (And how embarrassing would THAT be? Gah!) She sat on the couch opposite mine and gave me this sort of elegant wave which I think meant I should sit down, too. At least I hope that's what it meant, because I sat. Colin said something to someone I couldn't see, then closed the door and came over to stand next to the couch.
"Colin, meu querido," she said, "Sit with me." Colin gave me a suspicious look, but must have decided I was okay, 'cuz he came around the couch and sat next to her. She snuggled up all close to him (jealous!!) and rested her hand on his thigh. (totally jealous!!)
"So, you're from . . . Huff and Puff?" she asked, kind of struggling over the blog name, probably because English isn't her first language. At least I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
"Yes, ma'am," I said.
"You have questions, yes?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Colin looked at me like . . . So, get to it!
Right. I'm supposed to ask questions. Darn. I pulled out my trusty list.
"Lady Sophia," I started. "Did you ever imagine you'd become a Vampire Lord?"
She laughed. Even her laugh is sexy. My laugh sounds like a sick chicken.
"Not at all," she said. (I think she meant the question, not my laugh.) "I thought eventually I'd come back to Vancouver and perhaps serve my Sire in some capacity, but I never considered ruling."
"What about the vampires in your territory?" I asked. "How are they reacting to you?"
I swear Colin actually growled. I kind of jumped at the sound (hey, you would, too!) and stared at him. But Sophia only patted his leg and said, "Colin is very protective."
"Damn right," he muttered, and she leaned in closer to him. (I think she was just showing off at this point, like look what I can do, because he's mine. So not cool!)
"As with any new lord," she was saying, "there are some who accept it and some who don't. This isn't unusual. So far, no one has challenged me openly, although I have had to … how do you say it, Colin? Slap a few of them down." She grinned and there was something very vicious in that grin, like maybe she really enjoyed the slapping down part.
"Do you ever wish this responsibility hadn't been passed to you?" I asked curiously.
Sophia glanced at Colin, then kind of studied me for a minute, like she was trying to decide whether to answer the question or not. Or maybe whether to tell the truth. It was that kind of look.
Finally, she said, "I am Vampire. Power is the blood in our veins, the air in our lungs. We live and breathe it. I have responsibility, yes, but I also have great power. I embrace that. I never sought it, but now that it is mine. It is mine, and I will fight to defend it."
Okaaaay. Fierce much? Sheesh, it's not like I had any plans to challenge her for it. I checked my list, looking for something less . . . violence inspiring.
"What's something someone might be surprised to know about you?" I know. Total Cosmo question, right? Colin was giving me this "you've gotta be kidding me" look, but Sophia suddenly started laughing. I smiled, hoping she wasn't laughing because she was imagining the fun she'd have slapping me down and maybe breaking every bone in my body.
"I'm not going to tell you," she said, still chuckling. "I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise."
Good answer! And no slapping down. Cool. How about this one … "You lived in South America for a while, right?" I asked. She nodded. "How are things different down there compared to here? I mean, like the vampire lords? Are they any different?"
"Well," she said thinking, "there's more of them and they have much smaller territories. And they're not nearly as well organized. Some of them barely pay any attention at all, while others are like petty tyrants. You never know what you'll encounter until you cross one of them."
I leaned forward. I really wanted to ask this next question. I was kind of afraid, but I'm a reporter. I'm willing to take risks to get the big story, er, within reason. I figured I'd lead into it slowly.
"You, um, you worked with Lord Raphael recently, didn't you?"
"Yes, of course." That's what she said, but I could tell by Colin's smirk that what she meant was Duh!
"Um," I swallowed hard, because this really could end badly. Vampires are temperamental creatures. You never know what might set them off. I'm kind of an expert on them, because I've interviewed Lord Raphael himself and lived to tell the tale! Not even that stuffy, stick-up-her-butt chick could say that. Come to think of it, I wondered if Stuffy would have asked this question? I bet she wouldn't! I sucked in a breath and went for it.
"Do you resent Lord Raphael for what he did to Lucien?"
Sophia looked sad for a minute and I felt like a total asshat. And then Colin glared at me and I realized it wasn't Sophia I had to worry about, or not only Sophia. He could probably break my bones just as efficiently and my body would never be found. What would my mom think? I got tears in my eyes thinking about it. Colin noticed and rolled his eyes in disgust. (There goes my rep. I hope Stuffy doesn't hear about this.)
"Lord Raphael," Sophia said slowly, "did what he had to do. For all that I loved Lucien, he knowingly crossed a line that could not be uncrossed. I would have done the same thing in Raphael's shoes."
Colin was still staring daggers at me, so I figured maybe I should distract him with something. "Colin," I said all businesslike. "What's it like being in a relationship with a vampire?"
He not only rolled his eyes this time, his whole head rolled to the side. I'm pretty sure he won't be starring in my fantasies anytime soon. I mean, he's a hunk and all, but I don't think he takes me seriously, you know? Doesn't respect my profession!
Sophia patted his thigh. Did I mention he was wearing really snug denims? Wait, I'm over him. Right. Forget the denims.
"I'm not in a relationship with a vampire," he said slowly and deliberately. "I'm in love with Sophia, a beautiful and brilliant woman who just happens to be a very powerful vampire."
Sophia beamed at him and he beamed right back at her. True love. Sickening. I had to move on before my teeth started to ache. (Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm just jealous. What else is new?)
"Just a couple more questions," I said loudly, trying to get their attention. Hell, I figured they wouldn't hang around much longer anyway, the way they were looking at each other. Did I want to see that? Well, yeah, sure, but I figured they wouldn't let me watch. Oops. TMI! Moving on!
"Do you ever wish you could go back to the way things were before all this happened?" I didn't direct the question to either of them, but they both answered, "No!" at the same time, and then laughed. (Ugh.)
"Everything that happened brought Colin back to me," Sophia said, not even looking at me. "I wouldn't change that for the world."
There's a shocker. Note to self, never interview couples on their honeymoon. It's too gross. And kind of depressing. Might as well get the last question out of the way, although it seems sort of redundant.
"I know you're mates within Vampire society, but are there any plans to become husband and wife?"
Sophia dragged her gaze away from Colin (who, okay, is definitely gaze worthy even if he doesn't appreciate my intellect.) She smiled at me and looked kind of confused.
"What would be the point?" she asked.
Good answer, 'cuz looking at the two of them, they were already hooked at the navel or something. I closed up my notepad. I had to get out of there. Too much love in the air. A single, no-dates, my vibrator-is-my-best-friend girl couldn't take it. Wait. Did I leave that last part in?

I'm Primus (For those that don't recognize me from the drawing board). I became restless, tired of being cooped up in that tiny, confined area. Sooo... I signed up here, on the day where everything in my life became blue (even these walls, this house, this computer, this world, and my cat's food.
I'm artistically inclined (as they say, but I think I draw worse than stick figures) AND artistically retarded, socially challenged, and weird. Except weird is normal for me. I can be random, so watch out if the flip side of me goes to the realm of babality. Or RuneScape. Or World of Warcraft.

New 5-phase approach
(Page 2 of 2)
Phase 4, "The Nutritional Phase," also lasts four to six weeks. The ultimate goal of the entire program is to live life without dieting or gaining back the weight lost in the initial phases of the program. In Phase 4, patients are educated to understand proper nutritional care. The types (of foods chosen), the portions consumed, the method of preparation used and the schedule of eating are key elements to every nutrition plan. How these unique elements affect each individual differs from patient to patient. Phase 4 is designed to educate each patient with how these elements affect them personally, so a proper life-long and sustainable plan can be introduced.
Phase 5, "The Maintenance Phase," consists of six visits over 52 weeks. The greatest risk of putting back weight occurs in that first year, and the staff helps to avoid this from happening. Patients are not abandoned after they lose their weight. Continuous visits, where adjustments are made if needed, greatly reduce the patients' chances of gaining weight. Throughout the process, consideration is given to the individual's physiological needs (medical conditions that contribute to weight gain), psychological issues (such as emotional eating or binging), and nutritional understanding.

Looking for an example in the TK regarding how the Ajax communcation works.
Somewhat surprised we have an Ajax TK and no example of how to use Ajax communications from the client side? ;-)
I've looked at the popup debugger window and I can see the soap request going out and the JSON returned, but I'm no closer to understanding:
1) How did the client send that soap request out? What method was called? How was the request formed and what arguments were passed to the method? What event triggered that method?
2) What does the TK need to do in order to read the JSON returned into a list widget?
I've even brought up the Zimbra client in a JS debugger and watched it doing various things, but so much of the data transfer is happening in the initial rendering of the main page that I don't see any way of requesting the address book information as a separate request.
Hoping Ross might point us to a good example in the Client source code, or whip out a simple example; for instance, how would I download the AddressBook list in a simple example JSP on the client, from your hosted demo? (Or something similar)

Serve this delicious pizza with a crisp, mixed green salad.
Substitute lean ground beef for the sausage.
Substitute 13x9-inch pan for the pizza pan. Assemble pizza as directed. Bake at 425°F for 20 min. or until crust is golden brown.

This came out great! I did let the dough rise for a lighter crust and it was perfect. I will use this receipe frequently as my family loved it!
Have made this twice.
First time followed recipe adding some pepperoni with the italian sausage. Also used shredded vs. sliced cheese as what we keep on hand. Family said "it's a keeper", although seasoning a bit subdued for our tastes. I'm sure that will vary with the sausage you use as no other seasonings in the recipe.
Second time I made veggie version with the following modifications:
... used 1-3/4 cup favorite pasta sauce for the canned tomatoes (kept the tomato paste for thickening
... added 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp basil to up the seasonings
... replaced sausage with 1/2 green pepper, 1/2 med. onion, 4 oz. mushrooms, 1/2 can medium black olives, and two roma tomatos. Coarse chop onion/pepper, mushroom/tomato thick slices, but left olives whole. Light saute on onion and green pepper before adding sauces, but just added mushroom, tomato, and olive to sauce just to heat.
Veggie version came out great. Liked overall taste better than first ti
This was amazing! So good and definitely cheaper than ordering in. This will go into our regular dinner rotation.

Hi, I've been trying to get zimbra to administer a samba domain, but all efforts have proved futile. I have zimbra 7.2.1, RHEL5_64 build. I'm basing my install on this doc and all the docs it references:
UNIX_and_Windows_Accounts_in_Zimbra_LDAP_and_Zimbr a_Admin_UI
First, I had errors adding to the schema. Essentially, I did as the doc said:
changed the contents of the nis.ldif file to:Code:ldap stop cp /opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/nis.ldif /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config/cn\=config/cn\=schema/cn\=\{10\}nis.ldif cd /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config/cn\=config/cn=\schema
then did:Code:dn: cn={10}nis objectClass: olcSchemaConfig cn: {10}nis
I solved that error using the following file and converting it to ldif format as described in the doc.Code:chmod 600 cn\=\{10\}nis.ldif ldap start Failed to start slapd. Attempting debug start to determine error. 505f4373 config error processing cn={10}nis,cn=schema,cn=config,cn=schema,cn=config:
I did the rest of the steps successfully, but when I start samba, right before step 4 the domain isn't added and the following error appears:
Any clues how I can fix this? I really have no clue what could be wrong. Is there any way to verify manually that the schema is correct?Code:smbldap_search_domain_info: Query was: dc=mail,dc=mailv2-0,dc=com, (&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=VERSION2.0)) [2012/09/23 10:24:47.019174, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:6621(pdb_init_ldapsam) pdb_init_ldapsam: WARNING: Could not get domain info, nor add one to the domain
