Brilliant Satire
Modern Feminism:My Feminist Boyfriend Isn't Working Until The Wage Gap Is Fixed
Would it be fair for him to work the same amount of hours in a comparable job and make more money than me? Definitely not! Until the wage gap is closed in all fields, he will not be working. Which is…fine. And good! It is good.
A lot of people who aren't as committed to fighting the patriarchy (like my parents) just don't understand why my boyfriend can't work while being an activist. Couldn't he just volunteer at Planned Parenthood to support women? Sure, he could and he totally would (he said that once after we had sex) but he doesn't want to take the glory away from women volunteering at Planned Parenthood. He's so thoughtful!
The Shame of Raising a Cis-Gendered Boy
I had failed society once again. Perhaps I had been too sloppy. Too careless. Perhaps it was from the times when I brought him into the men's restroom instead of the unisex room. Perhaps it was when I would take more groceries than Gwen when we were carrying them inside. Perhaps I didn't wear dresses and skirts in the house enough times. Either way, it was clear that I had created, not a gender-fluid feminist, but a son.
Both Gwen and I are ashamed, but working to accept our son's choices. We hold out hope, as Sally Kohn does, that our child will at least be gay. Perhaps during his adolescent years he will discover Tumblr, and that community will get the message across better than we. Every parent has high hopes for xer children, even in the face of severe disappointment and failure.
The Progressive Left: A Bunch of Dour Humorless Sourpusses
A good progressive is not allowed to laugh at anything that might possibly be perceived as oppressing or hurting someone (Christians, heterosexuals, and Republicans exempted, of course). In fact, the progressive leftist derives moral superiority from not laughing at "offensive" humor. So much so that stand-up comedians are actively avoiding college campuses. Because the PC Police could not handle a joke like this.
I first noticed the Progressive Comedy Pause while sharing my hilarity at office staff meetings. The majority would laugh but the committed lefties would stare blankly, each eye like that spinning wheel your smartphone shows while an app is loading. (The PCP might be why progressives just hoot and clap at Bill Maher's jokes; the laughter reflex is considered problematic.)
It's harder to laugh when you're scared and much of the left is terrified. They know that an inappropriate chuckle, the wrong tweet, or last year's term for an aggrieved minority can lessen their standing with progressive peers, if not get them fired from a job. Lefties also have turned the negative of humorlessness into the positive of moral superiority. Sniffing "That's not funny!" at an inoffensive Caitlyn Jenner joke signals that you are more evolved than the average cis-het-white-oppressor.
I'm gonna make fun of Caitlyn Jenner if I want to. I'm gonna make fun of Barack and Michelle Obama. I'll make fun of Rachel Maddow. And I'll laugh my ass off while the lefty sourpusses stew in their sanctimonious bitterness.
One of the advantages to being an anti-social conservatarian who doesn't care about political correctness; it's a lot more fun.

I've never played it or heard of it, until I just caught this on Breitbart (via Bruce's Twitter stream).
I'm Gay and 'Ass Hunters' is One of the Funniest Games I've Ever Played
by Milo Yiannopoulos
The outrage bell is tolling this week over Ass Hunters, a game in which you play a safari hunter who shoots homosexuals with a shotgun, trying to avoid getting molested by them…The game is as hilariously silly as it sounds.
…the moral police on both sides of the political fence are up in arms…[including] the left, of course, which is screaming blue bloody murder about the supposed homophobic incitements to violence and hatred…
That's why Google was yesterday forced to remove a mobile version of the game, which has been floating around on the web for years, from its Play Store. All of which leaves me a bit mystified as to what possible harm this ridiculously daft, cartoonish nonsense could possibly to do society.
…both camps have completely missed the joke…It's actually a very funny satire…

Republicans Attempt Humor
Mitt Romney told a joke at a campaign event for Joni Ernst, the wannabe Republican senator from Iowa. It was a mild little thing. I have heard better Obama jokes (I am quite fond of the one that begins "A Muslim, a Kenyan, and a Communist walk into a bar…) But since the joke was directed at the Democrats' god-king, it is, of course, being attacked as racist and hateful by the same people who thought Sandra Bernhard's joke about Sarah Palin being gang-raped was pretty funny stuff.
The GOP … or at least the GOP IT Staff (I really doubt any of the RNC management is this clever)… did somewhat better with this Error Page on their website, which is also sending humorless leftists to the fainting couches.

Obamacare Schadenfreude: April Jobs Report Edition
Something strange happened with the latest jobs report. A few lamestream press outlets woke up from their Obama-induced daze long enough to recognize that although the unemployment figure is purportedly lower than it was in March, and lower than it has been in some time, things don't seem quite right with the numbers. Just seeing them grapple with the data and begin to recognize its implications has brought on my latest instance of Obamacare Schadenfreude.
Let's begin with the National Journal. Today its website ran a story entitled "Forget the Unemployment Rate: The Alarming Stat Is the Number of 'Missing Workers.'" The story begins by summarizing the "unexpected" state of affairs:
The federal government's latest snapshot of the unemployment rate offered few bright spots Friday. The economy added 165,000 jobs in April—slightly better than March's revised number of 138,000 jobs. Unemployment went down one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.5 percent; and health care, retail trade, and the food-services industry added positions.
The glaring caveat to this jobs report is the huge number of Americans who remain out of the workforce. Called the "labor force participation rate" in wonkspeak, that number held steady in April at 63.3 percent—the lowest level since 1979.
The story goes on to speculate about the causes behind the decreased labor force participation rate, explaining that some of the number–but by no means all–can be explained by the fact that the first of the baby boomers have now reached retirement age. The article says that beyond retirees, "Roughly 3 million to 5 million of them left because they could not find jobs, economists estimate."
But the article doesn't stop there. It recognizes that decreased labor force participation has serious economic implications for government because it decreases revenues coming in from taxes. Suddenly, in other words, the decreasing labor force in the United States is much more of a matter of concern than it was a year ago when Obama was facing re-election, because it doesn't bode well for the future of the economy or the budget (something that conservatives have been pointing out for years):
If these workers do not return to the labor market, their absence may alter the country's budget picture. "One of the biggest problems we face with the baby-boomer bulge in retirement is having enough workers behind them to pay their bills," says Harry Holzer, a professor at Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute.
Missing workers can translate to a decrease in tax revenue, coupled with an increase in the use of government benefits, such as food stamps and disability insurance. The number of Americans collecting food stamps hit a high of 47.8 million people in December 2012. A similar spike has occurred in enrollments for the Social Security disability payments.
Since the start of 2007, the percentage of Americans in the labor market has dropped from 66.4 percent to 63.3 percent. In the 1970s and 1980s, the number of working Americans grew—because of the dramatic increase in women holding jobs outside of the home.
Nancy Cook ends her article by quoting a very optimistic prediction that unemployment will eventually fall to around 5.5% by 2017, but then she notes, ominously, "Only then can economists gauge if people have left the workforce because of the downturn in the economy, or if they've left forever because the economy fundamentally changed. If that's the case, the U.S. officially will become a place where the labor market has little use for millions of Americans."
The National Journal article, though, isn't the only such piece by a lamestream press outlet today. None other than the Gray Lady herself suddenly woke up and noticed the missing workers: (more…)

CGMN Revisited: Robust and Efficient Solution of Stiff Linear Systems Derived from Elliptic Partial Differential Equations
Stiff equation
In mathematics, a stiff equation is a differential equation for which certain numerical methods for solving the equation are numerically unstable, unless the step size is taken to be extremely small. It has proved difficult to formulate a precise definition of stiffness, but the main idea is that the equation includes some terms that can lead to rapid variation in the solution.

Elliptic operator
In the theory of partial differential equations, elliptic operators are differential operators that generalize the Laplace operator. They are defined by the condition that the coefficients of the highest-order derivatives be positive, which implies the key property that the principal symbol is invertible, or equivalently that there are no real characteristic directions. Elliptic operators are typical of potential theory, and they appear frequently in electrostatics and continuum mechanics.

Biconjugate gradient stabilized method
In numerical linear algebra, the biconjugate gradient stabilized method, often abbreviated as BiCGSTAB, is an iterative method developed by H. A. van der Vorst for the numerical solution of nonsymmetric linear systems. It is a variant of the biconjugate gradient method (BiCG) and has faster and smoother convergence than the original BiCG as well as other variants such as the conjugate gradient squared method (CGS). It is a Krylov subspace method.

Linear least squares (mathematics)
In statistics and mathematics, linear least squares is an approach to fitting a mathematical or statistical model to data in cases where the idealized value provided by the model for any data point is expressed linearly in terms of the unknown parameters of the model. The resulting fitted model can be used to summarize the data, to predict unobserved values from the same system, and to understand the mechanisms that may underlie the system.
more from Wikipedia
Conjugate gradient method
In mathematics, the conjugate gradient method is an algorithm for the numerical solution of particular systems of linear equations, namely those whose matrix is symmetric and positive-definite. The conjugate gradient method is an iterative method, so it can be applied to sparse systems that are too large to be handled by direct methods such as the Cholesky decomposition. Such systems often arise when numerically solving partial differential equations.
more from Wikipedia
Generalized minimal residual method
In mathematics, the generalized minimal residual method (usually abbreviated GMRES) is an iterative method for the numerical solution of a nonsymmetric system of linear equations. The method approximates the solution by the vector in a Krylov subspace with minimal residual. The Arnoldi iteration is used to find this vector. The GMRES method was developed by Yousef Saad and Martin H. Schultz in 1986.
more from Wikipedia
In mathematics, preconditioning is a procedure of an application of a transformation, called the preconditioner, that conditions a given problem into a form that is more suitable for numerical solution. Preconditioning is typically related to reducing a condition number of the problem. The preconditioned problem is then usually solved by an iterative method.

The early detection of biomechanical modifications in the arterial wall could be used as a predictor factor for various diseases, for example hypertension or atherosclerosis. In this work a transient elastography technique is used for the in vitro evaluation of the arterial wall elasticity. The obtained Young modulus is compared with the one obtained by a more classical approach: pressure-diameter relationships. As a sample an arterial phantom made of PolyVinyl Alcohol (PVA) gel was used. Diameter variation due to pressure variation inside the phantom was recorded by means of ultrasound. Through both techniques similar Young modulus estimations are obtained showing in this way the feasibility of applying transient elastography for the arterial wall elasticity assessment.

Lenovo Group to start sales of smart phones in Thailand this year, report
BEIJING, Feb 20, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- China's biggest PC maker the Lenovo Group (00992.HK; LNVGY.PK) will start to sell smart phones in Thailand, according to a report released Wednesday by the Bangkok Post.
Besides, the PC giant will also plans to introduce low cost tablet PC in Thailand's flouring education table PC market with a market price of 5,000 Thai Baht (about 104.69 yuan) each unit.
The report said that Lenovo Group has replaced HP as the second biggest PC vendor in Thailand in December last year with a market share of 11 percent, next only to Acer.
Lenovo Group will first introduce smart phone products in Thailand this year in Southeast Asia market, and it will open Indonesian market after that, according to the report. (Edited by Hou Yujie, firstname.lastname@example.com)

Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live Diet
Specializes in reducing and reversing disease through natural and nutritional methods.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2016
Dr. Joel Fuhrman is a well-known doctor who provides diet and nutrition advice to help patients lose weight and improve their health with a nutritional approach. Dr. Fuhrman has written several books on nutritional weight loss such as Eat to Live and Eat for Health, and has appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC and many other media outlets promoting the importance of sound nutrition to achieve optimal health.
Dr. Fuhrman specializes in reducing and reversing disease through natural and nutritional methods. For weight loss measures, the recommended plan from Dr. Fuhrman is his Eat to Live book. By following the plan in this book, you can lose weight naturally and permanently. You can also reduce your blood pressure, cholesterol and prevent heart disease without the use of medications.
The premise of Dr. Fuhrman's Eat for Health program is that the more nutrient dense foods you eat, the quicker your health will improve. He proposes a largely plant-based diet void of refined products, meat and dairy.
Through the web site Dr. Fuhrman offers not only his books, but also online medical and nutritional advice.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner as Sletrokor for better results
- Natural and nutritional approach to weight loss
- Emphasis on long-term results
- Created by a medical doctor
- Successful results by others
- Vegetarian-friendly
- Programs may be somewhat restrictive and difficult for those used to easing into a diet program
- Food preparation time can be lengthy
- Little to no meat is allowed
Dr. Joel Fuhrman promotes a plant-based diet comprised of vegetables, fruits, legumes, raw nuts, seeds and some whole grains. Avoided are sugar, refined flours, salt, and severely limiting all animal products include meat and dairy.
A sample day of meals may include:
- Breakfast: Two cups cooked oatmeal with one tablespoon ground flax seed, one banana, one oz. raisins, 1/2 cup soy milk or skim milk.
- Lunch: Green salad with balsamic vinegar and one teaspoon olive oil, one cup of chickpeas or vegetable soup and fresh fruit.
- Dinner: Stir-fried vegetables with tofu or steamed string beans with onions and mushrooms.
The basic premise of Fuhrman's diets are consuming foods that are nutrient-rich but low in calories. These foods, like vegetables, fruits and legumes, will satiate the appetite because of their water and fiber content.EXERCISE
Because many of Dr. Fuhrman's plans are designed for those with health issues, moderate exercise is recommended. Typical exercise might include 30-45 minutes of moderate intensity walking, five to six days per week.CONCLUSION
Using Dr. Fuhrman's recommendations, you can easily lose weight, reduce your current diseases and prevent contracting future diseases. Although it seems that most of the plans are very restrictive, they do garner results.
If you are looking for a plan that will finally give you the health and weight loss benefits you are looking for, Dr. Fuhrman can provide that. Be prepared for dramatically reducing your meat intake, but on the flip side you don't have to count calories. As long as you follow the plan, you can be on your way to your ideal weight and optimal health.Common Misspellings

What About The "No Nuts or Seeds" Medical Advice For Those With Diverticulosis? Nothing here about how overcoming junk food addictions went when switching to this diet. Also, if one has diverticulosis the common medical advice is that they should not eat nuts or anything with seeds. What then? Risk a diverticulitis attack?
I notice many of the commentators here haven't been on the diet long and I suspect that they are exhibiting the placebo effect. Other statements like "toxins leaving the body" are anecdotal and as such subjective and without verification so they can be discounted as well.. I'd prefer hearing from people after a significant amount of time has passed on this diet. And why does Dr. Fuhrman look so old and haggard?
I have been eating vegertarian now for 5 days... I love it, I feel great and have a lot of energy !!! There are times I crave chocolate or pasta but I am sure that will pass with time... Thanks Dr Fuhrman
This is the only diet that I believe works for people with Hypothyroidism.
I have had it for years and gained weight because of it, I found this diet, when done right will cause significant los of weight. I lost 24 lbs, and I feel and look great.
I have also had to restrict my calories lower to adjust for the thyroid problems. Since I am not overweight due to overeating it is easy because I do not mind eating less.
Great lifestyle. The weight loss is effortless and, more importantly, the health benefits are astounding.
I have been only following Dr. Fuhrmans plan for 1 week and I can't believe how good I feel!
I feel energetic, clarity of mind and happier!
I can't wait to see what kind of weight I loose... But, I feel so good I don't care about the weight loss!
Do you know of any studies which indicate a positive effect upon peripheral neuropathy as a result of using your whole food, plant based, high nutrition diet?
Great diet, lose 20lbs and counting. I feel great! The diet is the first that I have use that is sustainable over a long time period.
I am an epileptic and have lost 13 lbs. for the first month of dieting. I have not had any adverse effects from this diet.
You can really feel the toxins leaving your body in the first week. I found it best to wash my hair and scrub my skin down every day in the first week to rid myself of the toxins that had deposited on the skin.
Four weeks have passed on this diet and I haven't had so much energy since i was a teenager. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman for this natural diet.
I've been doing Eat to Live since February (3 months) and have lost 35 lbs. I'm no longer diabetic and all my blood numbers are dramatically improved. Better nutrition = better health.
This is really working for me and for my husband. It is far more enjoyable and satisfying than we thought it would be. Desire for foods not included in his program is nearly non-existent. We feel energetic and clear in mind.
Botsal, I recall that Dr Furhman states that if you are going to eat meat, then eat it in one meal per day. That is not extreme vegetarianism. What carbs are you referring to? Carbs in fresh fruits, veggies, and beans? You are brainwashed into Atkins high protein low carb garbage which may work temporarily. Dr F endorses foods for their high micronutrient value and discourages looking at foods solely as carbs, protein, and fat.
I have never felt better than how I feel on this diet!
Dr. Furham doesn't preach meat as "absolutely harmful", just that the proportions of meat that Americans currently eat as absolutely harmful. You can eat meat, just limit the times you eat it. His argument is that for the calories packed into a meat serving you get hardly any nutrition from it. Spend your calories on more nutrient dense food.
You are also only supposed to have 2 ounces of nuts a day.
Please try the diet yourself or at least read up on it fully before you post something.
Dr. Furhman believes that meat is absolutely harmful and pushes his extreme vegetarianism. Believe me, you can fail to lose weight on this diet given all the carbs and nuts. It's a waste of time.
Would you be interested in speaking to our Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy Org. on Thursday, March 25? All I would need is a short bio from you and I'll do the rest. Please call me at 412-828-9542 as soon as possible. I will also get you radio time if you like. Look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Sylvia, Director
I found this to be really exciting and satifying,its a way to live not to diet.
Eat to Live probably saved my life. I lost 81 pounds in six months. It's been a year now since I started Eat to Live, and my weight seems to have stabilized at 70 pounds down from what I started at. No injections, eat as much food as you like as long as it's veggies or fruits, you can still eat meat and nuts, and occasionally break the rules; you really can't beat that.
Wonderful, life-changing, and so worth it.

How can I compute an estimate of the number of integral solutions (points) inside a bounded convex polyhedron with dimension $d$? I'm interested more in an efficient way to estimate the number of integral solutions than in a very close estimate.
By integral solutions do you mean lattice points? That is, points with all coordinates integral? The first estimate would be just the volume of the polyhedron. It will be more accurate the larger the polyhedron is. The error is bounded by the volume within one unit of the surface, so by the surface area of the polyhedron (I believe not twice as points that come in one side leave on the other). As the minimum dimension of the polyhedron rises, the relative error will shrink.

Speak Up: The Key to Agile Success
You can learn all the theoretical agile principles and best practices, but you still may not be agile. To be truly agile, you must also communicate and collaborate with your team—and this means speaking up. Even if you're not a natural extrovert, there are plenty of ways you can contribute during planning, sprints, and retrospectives to make your product and process better.

When Postmortems Meet Retrospectives: Improving Your Agile Process
If you want secure, reliable systems, you need all stakeholders actively communicating. This means involving both IT operations and developers in discussions after deployments, to ascertain if anything went wrong and can be avoided, and what went well or could be refined. Integrating your postmortems and retrospectives facilitates collaboration and improves processes.

Transitioning to Enterprise Agility—and Bringing Outsourced Delivery Partners Along
When companies adopt agile internally, they often forget to extend the concepts and values to their partners. You have to look at your outsourced delivery components as part of the process that needs to be included as an extended team. Collaboration, reflection, and improvement is at the heart of agile, and it should look that way from the perspective of all elements in the delivery chain.

Is Your Product Owner an Overloaded Operator?
Overloaded operators exist when an operator or operation has different meanings in different contexts. This usually applies to variables and sets, but it can be true for people, too. These people try to do the work of many different roles—and usually fail. If you have an overloaded people operator, analyze the work and try to divide it up.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2017 BMW 6 Series
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.9
Slotted between BMW's 5 and 7 Series sedans is the 6 Series line of coupes and convertibles. While its numerically lower and higher kin constitute practical transportation for the well-heeled, the more exclusive 6 Series models are for buyers more interested in style and image. They offer heaping portions of both, and a hearty helping of BMW's stellar driving dynamics, especially in the high-powered M variants. With roots tracing to the late 1970s, today's 3rd-generation 6 Series has raised the ante for grand-tourers. The 6 Series models' power and looks enable them to stand up to the Jaguar XK, Mercedes E-Class Coupe and Audi S5 in this niche segment, while buyers desiring more space can have it in the 4-door, 5-passenger Gran Coupe variant.
Beyond their prodigious power, advanced technology and rich amenities, the 2014 BMW 6 Series is roomier yet less expensive and more fuel efficient (in turbo-6 form, at least) than grand touring cars such as the Jaguar XK and Mercedes-Benz SL-Class.
Price is relative here, and at over $75,000, even a base 6 Series is a reach for most buyers. For those seeking lightning-fast luxury on a (slightly) tighter budget, an Audi S5 coupe or convertible has more horsepower, is quicker to 60 mph, and costs considerably $25,000 less.
Drivers who love engaging their left foot will rejoice that M6 performance variants can be had with a 6-speed manual transmission in lieu of the 7-speed double-clutch automatic. For just 100 buyers, there is a limited Frozen Brilliant White Edition convertible. All 2014 BMW 6 Series models receive updates to their navigation systems.
The 2014 BMW 6 Series boasts something of a Jekyll and Hyde nature, but both characters in this story deserve praise. Think of Comfort mode as Dr. Jekyll, in which...
... the BMW 6 Series is a high-power pleasure cruiser with a comfortable-yet-responsive ride. Switch the Driving Dynamics Control to Sport+ mode, and suddenly Mr. Hyde appears. Here, the transmission eagerly kicks down, the revs go up, the suspension tightens, and the 6 Series begins to feel like a smaller, lighter sports car. It's safe to say that no 6 Series is slow. With a "base" 640i Coupe, you'll beat a most other cars up the onramp with a 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds. Step up to the fire-breathing M6 and suddenly you're hitting that mark in just over 4 seconds. But even here, switch settings and your speed demon returns to a more docile form.
The name may sound odd to those who aren't audiophiles, but listen to this optional sound system and you'll soon join their ranks. This primo audio option drenches ears with 1,200 watts of sound emanating from 16 speakers, each with its own amplifier.
Using cameras in the outside mirrors, this optional system provides a bird's-eye-view of the area around the car to aid maneuvering in tight spaces, while its selectable Side View function uses cameras in the sides of the front bumper to monitor traffic crossing in front of the vehicle.
While we appreciate BMW's luxurious interiors, but we'd still rather ride in an Audi cabin. That said, new hues, more premium materials and interesting shapes are finding their way into new BMWs, and the latest-generation 6 Series may be one of the best examples yet. The leather-wrapped driver and passenger seats coddle bodies, and if their 10-way adjustment isn't enough, you can double that amount as an option. The two rear seats in the coupe and convertible are tight for adults, but the trunk is surprisingly sizable. Convertible 6 Series models have a black fabric top that doesn't eat up much cargo space when folded.
The 2014 BMW 6 Series has an athletic profile defined by a long hood and a striking crease that's nearly the length of the body. We appreciate the Coupe's confident, not cocky, nature. The 6 Series Convertible, likewise, is an elegant tourer with the top down, but to our eyes doesn't quite have the visual balance of the Coupe. This is even more apparent when the black fabric top is raised. M6 performance models are distinguished by wider 19-inch wheels, quad tailpipes and carbon-fiber composite roof panel.
Even a base V6-powered 640i Coupe is highly equipped with a leather and wood interior, xenon headlights, navigation system with 10.2-inch display, dynamic cruise control and rearview camera. The standard audio is a 9-speaker/205-watt system. Along with a V8 engine, 650i models up the ante with Nappa leather, 20-way power front seats, 19-inch wheels, and a 12-speaker/500-watt audio system. Scheduled maintenance for 4 years or 50,000 miles is included as part of BMW Ultimate Service. Models listed as xDrive come with all-wheel drive instead of a rear-drive configuration.
Aside from some a la carte options such as 20-inch wheels and ceramic controls for the iDrive command-center module, most options for the 2014 BMW 6 Series are bundled into packages. Among the more tantalizing ones are the Executive Package with amenities such as ventilated front seats, soft-close doors, and a futuristic head-up display that projects travel information onto the windshield so you can focus on the road. For audio appreciators there's the Bang & Olufsen sound system, and the performance-minded may steer toward options like active steering (with rear-wheel steering) and Adaptive Drive. A night-vision system can detect pedestrians via infrared camera.
The 2014 6 Series is motivated by 6-cylinder or 8-cylinder engines and is offered in a trio of performance flavors. The 640i models use BMW's much-loved 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 that makes a robust 315 horsepower. Moving up to the 650i nets a 4.4-liter turbo V8 good for 445 horsepower. At the top is the M6, which also uses a 4.4-liter turbo-8, but one tuned to make a sizzling 560 horsepower. The first two are connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission and are all-wheel drive (AWD) or rear-wheel drive (RWD). M6 variants use a 7-speed automatic or 6-speed manual and are rear-drive only. In an effort to use less of its required premium gasoline, the 2014 BMW 6 Series features auto start-stop functionality that can cut engine power at idle.

Pros: "Good power and looks good, especially with the top down"
Cons: "Run flat tires ruin the driving experience"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 2
"You would think this would be an awesome car and it is from a looks standpoint but there are some issues. It's frequently in the shop for repairs but the worst part are the run flat tires. This car should be a fun to drive machine, but the hard sidewalls on the run flat tires take away from the maneuverability, cornering capabilities and they create a harsh ride even when the vehicle is in the "comfort" mode. Most BMW's no longer come with a spare or even a canister like the M class or an AMG would, so you are either stuck with sucking it up and going with the run flats or taking your chances. It should be noted that the BMW dealerships will not put on anything but a run flat, so if you want something else, you will need to find somewhere else that will do the work. One additional note, after buying a new set of run flat tires from the dealership, I had 3 flat tires in the 5 week period following installing the new tires."

"The 640I is my third BMW and it has a ride as good as my 535I, with ample trunk storage for two golf clubs and overnight bag. Back seat can be used for adults for short trips but is best for kids. Maintenance has been easy with minor electronic problems;easy fixes. Soft top has been great and operates smoothly; only 40 seconds to open or close even while you are moving under 25 MPH. I have had the car 21 months and still love it. I highly recommend for the really picky car lover. It is a wonder to drive and turns heads."

"This is our 2nd 650 and because of our 1st we decided to get the newer style, one of the best decisions. Great handling, very luxurious, and very quiet. Will probably get another when this body style changes."

|Rescooped by WEDCBiz from Business Brainpower with the Human Touch
You spot that acquaintance at the market and begin to wave. As you walk toward each other, an emphatic "hey" slips out—followed by a startling black hole of silence.
What on Earth is her name?
"Hey girl!" Your cheeks flush as you try to decide whether to just confess or wade through a conversation without revealing your memory lapse.
Forgetting a name can make for a pretty painful social encounter, but in a professional relationship, it can be lethal.
If I look as though I am concentrating when I meet you, it has something to do with trying to remember your name.

If you want to move o.a.t.u.log back to j-t, I've got no objection. I don't think that anybody is using o.a.t.u.handler. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Remy Maucherat" <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: "Tomcat Developers List" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 1:03 PM Subject: Re: Converting Coyote to Java2 collections Bill Barker wrote: > I suppose that Coyote can be optional for TC 3.3.

I think util is using mostly custom structures for GC and speed. There's also deprecated stuff in util (logging, etc). Should this also be left in for compatibility ?

text: World Blood Donor Day is fast approaching, 14 June internationally, and 11 June in SA. I'd never really thought of donating blood, well there was this one time after I'd left school but I was on Roaccutane treatment at the time (those darned teenage hormones!) so was never fit to donate in any case. It was only in my later life that I was approached by the local South African National Blood Service (SANBS) office to assist them with a blood drive in my, then capacity as Mrs Port Elizabeth (yea, we haven't really discussed this, but we'll leave that for another day shall we?)

Peeps Pudding Cups Recipe
2.4K Flares
2.4K Flares
I just love making fun themed treats for the kids for special days and holidays!! I don't always have time to slave over the oven all day to create something so I like to try to find fun and FAST ways to create in the kitchen! Extra points if the kids can help! These Peep Pudding Cups are not only adorable and delicious, but they are a fun and EASY spring or Easter treat that the kids will surely enjoy!!
You will need:
Pudding Cups
1 oreo of every cup (crushed)
1 Peep for every cup
Starbursts (orange)
Rips Candy (green)
First step is to make the candy carrots. Cut your orange starburst in half, make one end pointed and flatten the top part. Add a green candy Rips to the top part that is flattened and wrap it around the Rips to form a carrot shape.
Crush one Oreo for every pudding cup, I put them in a bag and smash them with a soup can. Open your pudding cups, place a Peep in the middle of the pudding cup. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos around the peep and then add the candy carrots. Simple and easy Easter or Spring time treat that will make your kids smile! Enjoy.

Recently, there is great interest in considering the energy efficiency aspect of cellular networks. On the other hand, the power grid infrastructure, which provides electricity to cellular networks, is experiencing a significant shift from the traditional electricity grid to the smart grid. When a cellular network is powered by the smart grid, only considering energy efficiency in the cellular network may not be enough. In this paper, we consider not only energy-efficient communications but also the dynamics of the smart grid in designing green wireless cellular networks. Specifically, the dynamic operation of cellular base stations depends on the traffic, real-time electricity price, and the pollutant level associated with electricity generation. Coordinated multipoint (CoMP) is used to ensure acceptable service quality in the cells whose base stations have been shut down. The active base stations decide on which retailers to procure electricity from and how much electricity to procure. We formulate the system as a Stackelberg game, which has two levels: a cellular network level and a smart grid level. Simulation results show that the smart grid has significant impacts on green wireless cellular networks, and our proposed scheme can significantly reduce operational expenditure and CO_2 emissions in green wireless cellular networks.
