White meat or dark meat? I'm definitely a wing and dark meat gal, preferring the juicier, more flavorful, more tender and harder-to-overcook parts of the chicken. I think most Asians prize the dark meat (I know it's a gross generalization, but I've never met an Asian who didn't like dark meat!) Scott, on the other hand, is breast meat all …
Sweet and Sour Chicken with Cherries
Growing up in Nebraska, the closest family was nearly 8,000 miles away in Hong Kong and so our "family" was made of neighbors and co-workers of my Dad at the city utility offices. On the weekends, the adults would play cards, mah-jong (my parents taught everyone!) and have grand potlucks. We spent many weekends with one of Dad's co-workers, Walt …

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tdcgzx/global_sts)
has announced the addition of the "Global
STS Translation Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The Global STS Translation market will grow at a CAGR of 19.11% to
The demand for STS translation solutions is increasing because of the
popularity of mobile devices and consistent network connectivity.
Service providers offer applications that allow voice-based access to a
cell phone, enabling the use of speech to access mobile device-based or
network dependent features, applications, and services. This enhances
customer experience and can be implemented for any application.
According to the report, one of the major drivers is the presence of a
diverse workforce within companies. Globalizatin has resulted in MNCs
operating from various countries to gain cost and competitive advantage.
As a result, there is a high demand for speech translation.
Further, the report states that the inability to suppress variations in
the performance of the systems is a challenge for the vendors and the
market at large. Speech recognition is hindered because of
speaker-dependent variations such as dialects, accent, intonation, and
noise disturbance, and hence the output is distorted.
The Global STS Translation market can be divided into three

Skip tips us to the scariest thing about that creepy talking Baby Bob...
You know what's creepier than Baby Bob? Finding out that Baby Bob is a baby girl.From the Daily Star: "Baby Bob is portrayed by L'Wren Scoggins, who will turn 1 in April, said her great-grandmother, Jane Sherman. This is L'Wren's first acting job, and she seems to be successful, as people have expressed shock when the baby's gender is revealed."
We predict baby-Oscars in the future for baby L'Wren.
Much more Baby Bob talk here before the bowl:Quiznos dusts off Baby Bob
Weird. I wonder why they didn't use a baby boy? Following in Lassie's paw prints maybe. ;)
I can't wait till the baby grows up and sees the commercial. She's so going to hate her parents for this.
Crossdressing babies. My God, the Republicans were right!
From Entertainment Weekly - "Commercial Clout: Grading The Super Bowl Ads - Memo to advertisers: Talking babies are creepy. They have always been creepy. They will always be creepy. We thought Baby Bob had finally vanished alongside his ill-conceived CBS sitcom, but here he is being hit on by an adult and talking up the finer points of turkey subs. Turkey, indeed." Grade: F
Talking transvestite babies are even creepier.

1) Speaking of plays: Congratulations to the cast and crew of Urinetown! Seriously, I don't think I've seen such a talented and cohesive group since the legendary 2002-2003 season. G&S has bounced back, and I could not be prouder of you all.
2) I cannot help but go all moony-eyed over the new chief of staff. Not only is he devastatingly handsome, he is also fearless. He once sent an enormous dead fish to an enemy, and it is said that the more he curses at you, the more he likes you. He is also a classically trained dancer. (This is starting to sound like a game of two truths and a lie.)
3) Egypt Highlights:
- My first night in Cairo, I was all alone, and walked along the banks of the Nile as the sun was setting, watching the sails of the feluccas catch the light.
- The hotel was small, airy, and garnet-colored, on the top floor and roof deck of a tall commercial building, and currently houses three generations of the French-Egyptian family that runs it. While we were there, I nibbled their delicious 8-month old baby and watched her attempt to take some steps in her rolly walker, and I befriended their two small dogs. It was like visiting friends. When we were on our way back from the desert, they called to see if we'd be home for dinner. One night we were served a meat pie that (Oh, what's the use? No one will believe me!) was ACTUALLY. BETTER. than my Moroccan Chicken Nut Pie. No, I swear.
- The first night Jess was there, we wandered around the downtown market area, where goats and cows and donkeys shared space with cars and pedestrians, and then shared an enormous juicy pomegranate on the balcony overlooking the city, and catching up on some stories that couldn't be told to full effect on the phone.
- When we went to see the Pyramids, we were besieged by Egyptian schoolgirls in bright head scarves. They were there to practice their English with the tourists, and took lots of pictures of themselves hugging us and kissing our cheeks. They could all say "Hello," "How are you?" "My name is _____" "What is your name?" and "I love you" (which they used in place of goodbye). They taught us how to say those things in Arabic, too. (I can't remember most of it now, but at the peak of my talents I had eleven Arabic words, two of which essentially mean "I don't know.") Then as we were leaving, a group of schoolboys accosted me and wanted to practice their English...oh, wait, NO they didn't, the wanted to feel me up! Jess got a great picture of it, opting to capture the moment rather than intercede. My feminine attributes got a LOT of attention over those few days.
I'll have pictures up soon, whenever Jess gets around to sending me the CD. This is not a hint to her, sadly, as she has sworn off all blogs, even mine, and so any tongue-in-cheek mudslinging would be wasted here. Plus, if she's not reading, she can't laugh, and if she doesn't laugh, it just sounds mean.

Vickers Makes Statement In New Hampshire
The resulting green-white-checkered restart saw Vickers choose the outside line, a move that would pay huge dividends. As Vickers drove into turn one both Stewart and third-place Busch looked below the No. 55 Toyota, but Vickers held serve and cleared both cars at the exit of turn two.
Coming down the backstretch Stewart suddenly slowed, the fuel tank in his No. 14 Chevrolet out of gas. The resulting shuffle to clear Stewart gave Vickers a comfortable lead over Busch on the final lap as he cruised to victory at the 1.058-mile oval.
"The Aaron's Dream Machine, man it was good today," Vickers said, who at one point was a lap down but managed to get a lucky dog and get back on the lead lap.
So does Vickers think this victory locks him into the No. 55 Toyota for 2014?
"Nothing is a guarantee in life, I've learned that the hard way. Even when you think it is done its not done. But this definitely goes a long way," Vickers said.
Busch said he felt like he had the best car when he was in the lead, but anytime he got in traffic the car became nearly undriveable.
"I think we were the fastest car here today, definitely on the short run," Busch said. "I guess I burn the tires off of it when we're here. I don't know what the deal is. We're out front, we're leading and we're doing fine. I get to lapped traffic and I can't turn anymore."
Jeff Burton, a four-time winner at New Hampshire, finished a season-best third. Polesitter Brad Keselowski and Almirola completed the top five.
Stewart, who led 84 laps on Sunday, was scored in 26th position at the finish.

Dedh Ishqiya Movie Review - It's Spellbinding
Sequels rarely match up the brilliance of the original film, but sometimes sequels outshine the originals. The Godfather 2 and Silence of the Lambs are solid evidences for this phenomenon. This time, it happens in an Indian film, too! Dedh Ishqiya turns out to be far better than the first film, Ishqiya.
With artistic cinematography and skillful editing, this Abhishek Chaubey film Dedh Ishqiya packs a punch. The film has a unique sensibility of wild West films, where death becomes just another joke. You sit around a table and talk for sometime with the goons and suddenly you feel somebody's remark about you is so insulting, you drew a gun and bham! And nobody really cares about death or the death count!
Abhishek and Vishal Bharadwaj (co-writer and producer) brings that style of film making into a Bollywood movie, with playing tribute to their sources of inspiration through the Mexican music in some suspenseful yet funny scenes, reminding us of Jack Robins and John Ford.
Abhishek Chaubey and his writers Darab Farooqui and Vishal Bhardwaj have rightly placed their story in a north Indian rural village dominated by Mughal palaces, which gives them the freedom to narrate an Arabian Nights sort of a story.
Dedh Ishqiya showcases the talent of large community of actors who should be noticed seriously by Bollywood. Even an actor, who did small role as an assistant to Vijay Raaz's Jaan Mohammad Khan, surprises you with his natural and apt performances. Madhuri Dixit is, very evidently, brought in for her star factor and director forced two unnecessary folk dance songs to please the fans of Madhuri Dixit.
Madhuri is convincing as Begum Para, but doesn't impress you to a great extent. Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi have become just the character. They don't even 'play' the character, but are being the characters. That's a difference. Actors like Naseeruddin Shah don't grow old. He looked young, spirited and absolutely charming in this film. It must be mentioned that all actor are given equal importance in this film.
I think it would be a grave sin if I forget to write about the cinematography of Dedh Ishqiya. Cinematographer Setu, who has won great accolades for his work in Taare Zameen Par and Kahaani, is one of the stars of the film. You cannot often see this kind of brilliant lighting and grading in Bollywood movies. In the scene where Babban and Khalu are made to stand at gun point by Jaan Mohammad Khan and gang, you can see the brilliance of the cinematography. There are no artificial lights used in the scene, but still the actors' faces are visible in a film-noir style. I am sure Setu used artificial lights to lit up the faces a little bit, but the brilliance is in hiding the sources and make it look very real.
I honesty believe this film should get a larger audience because it is one of the rare well made movies we get in these times. A rich blend of good humour and cinematic artistry, film literally delivers. The film also very subtly portrays something that used to be portrayed in a 'screaming from the rooftops' style in Indian movies. Revealing it is not ethical for a reviewer, so you watch the movie yourself to get that secret.
The only error in Dedh Ishqiya is that it is a film set in rural India dealing with rural people, but reflects the sensibility of modern world. It is solely made for the multiple audience and the values it represents are not rural at all, instead they cater to the torrents loving multiplex audience.
Through a good movie, it is not spared from cliches completely, and there are many scenes that look artificial just because of writers tried to show off. One of the scene being Huma's character telling Arshad's Babban about the kind of food she would like to eat in different part of the globe. Having heard those names only once, Arshad's uneducated village thief captures the names of those dishes and repeats the same to her in another scene. You won't notice or care one major plot hole towards the end of the movie because you are charmed by its design by that time.
When you blend the base spirit of Thelma and Louise into Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster and infuse the Wild West flavour of Ishqiya into it, you get Dedh Ishqiya!

NYFW Uncovered: Backstage With Tracy Reese and SheaMoisture Spring 2016 RTW CollectionSeptember 16th, 2015 by Christen
According to Bok-Hee, Lead Hair Stylist for SheaMoisture, this year's theme was simple. "Sheer transparency enhanced by 'moments of shine' set the tone for the Tracy Reese collection this season. While distinctive details such as color and embellishment came into play, the vision was to keep the woman looking natural and truly authentic."
- Fight frizz and nourish hair by working in SheaMoisture Professional Curl Leave-In Conditioner.
- Parcel out small portions of hair around the crown of the head to be set aside and gather the rest to be pulled into a low chignon.
- Apply SheaMoisture Professional Finish Blow Dry Cream throughout hair as you pull it into a low ponytail at the nape. Layer SheaMoisture Professional Vibrant Color Shine Glaze onto strands to provide the ultimate clear shine boost.
- To create the chignon, gently twist the hair from the nape of the neck to the ends, and then begin to coil it in a counter-clockwise circle. Continue to twist the hair into a bun shape using the index finger to hold it in place.Secure sides of the bun with bobby pins. Gently pull and loosen the edges of the bun to get the desired shape, then secure with more bobby pins.
- With the remaining wispy pieces of hair, apply SheaMoisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Texture Spray and use a teasing brush to create structure.
- Finish by spraying SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Hold & Shine Moisture Mist for hold and hydration.

NYFW Uncovered With SheaMoisture And Tracy Reese F/W CollectionFebruary 16th, 2015 by Christen
As much as I love to watch the shows of New York Fashion Week – I can't help but want to break out in a North West-esque tantrum because I want it all, RIGHT NOW! I mean, having to wait for months until the collection becomes retail ready just isn't something I want to accept all the time – and this time the Tracy Reese Fall/Winter collection is no exception. A runway show draped in powerful femininity and hints of urban warrior chic from head to toe dominated the runway and I got the chance to see it all form together backstage.
Show preparation begins with hair/makeup and nails and thanks to SheaMoisture, I got up close and personal with the hair team behind the sleek styles that rocked the runway. China/bantu top knots styled by lead stylist Bok-Hee and the Shea Moisture team were achieved using SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smoothing cream, Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Soufflé and High Shine Glosser to create sleek and fierce styles for a collection of models from across the world.
Once ready to go – the models sashayed down the runway in frocks filled with patterns of Maasai reds, Ebony blacks and Cassava whites. A collection inspired by the the evolution of heritage and how it has shaped today's modern woman. Check out my favorite (lust-worthy) looks from the Tracy Reese Fall/Winter 2015 collection below.

Korto Momolu Spring Featuring Darrell Roach Jewelry Designs Presented By SheaMoistureSeptember 10th, 2014 by Christen
On Monday, September 8th Korto Momolu showcased her phenomenal designs during her New York Fashion Week spring show presented by SheaMoisture. Filled with a variety of textures, pastels and dynamic structures, the Project Runway All-Star accessorized the beautiful line with the definitive structured pieces of one of my favorite jewelry designers Darrell Roach Jewelry.
Thanks to the great folks at SheaMoisture, I got the details on the hair and makeup looks by celebrity makeup artist Renny Vasquez. Rich hues on the lips was the look for all using the SheaMoisture Lip Crayon in Roberta and lip gloss in Rosie for shine and deeper color.
The Darrell Roach designs that graced the models were made of lucite, copper and were an great addition to the designs that stole the show.
Inspired by her African roots, Liberian-born fashion designer and stylist Korto Momolu (pronounced Cut • Toe – Mo • Mo • Lu) is stamping her global brand on fashion forward women's wear and accessories that celebrate the essence of her rich heritage through the use of traditional, luxury fabrics; skins; mixed prints, etc.
This beautiful dress was lined with brilliant pop of cobalt blue and that Darrell Roach designed neck peice is a great touch!
The embellished, structured shorts were quite a hit with the front row fashionistas
Flowy, chiffon gowns were also a huge hit on the runway. This beautiful gown is something I'd definitely love to wear.
Pops of tangerine in a shift dress with fishnet accessories kicked off the runway show
This floor length chiffon dress in cream definitely was a highlight of the show, especially paired with Darrell Roach necklace.
Nudes and neons is still high on the Spring/Summer trend for next year, I love how Korto Momlu paired the two colors in this ready-to-wear piece.
Glitz and glam was on the menu with this Korto Momlu sequins-embellished piece
I even got a chance to rock my favorite Darrell Roach designed jewelry piece (my ring) that I got back in 2008 in Charlotte, NC.
As the Korto Momolu brand expands, so do her accomplishments and opportunities to include designing for Miss Universe (Leila Lopes) and the President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf; creating an accessory line for Dillard's Incorporated department stores; producing an eco-friendly jewelry line for the Smithsonian museum stores; designing the uniforms for the Walton Family Museum (Crystal Bridges); serving as the Cheerios' ambassador for the Shoprite Partners in Caring "Knock Out Hunger" campaign; and contributing her time and talents to countless charitable and philanthropic endeavors. Highlighted in the 'Top 5 Designers to Watch' in New York City this season, Korto has been featured in many international and national publications and has appeared on numerous television shows, including two seasons of Project Runway AllStars.

Peugeot 308 review
The Peugeot 308 is a top-drawer five-door family hatchback, and rivals the Ford Focus, SEAT Leon and Volkswagen Golf
The Peugeot 308 is a highly rated five-door family hatchback. The previous-generation version was capable but rather dull, so this latest car represented a real step forward for the company at launch, as the 308 went from the lower half of its class to a genuine contender overnight.
The car is relaxing to drive, inspiring confidence with its pleasant ride quality and fluid handling. Nearly every engine is excellent, too, with the latest Peugeot PureTech petrol turbos being right on the pace of the traditionally fine BlueHDi diesels. For the first time, a petrol engine may be the better choice for many private buyers.
Inside, the 308 is very well finished and has a high-quality feel; it's good to look at and nice to the touch. There are some real highlights: the tiny steering wheel is genuinely different and takes some getting used to, as does the central infotainment touchscreen, which operates a vast array of functions, including the 308's climate control system.
Passenger space isn't as good as it could be in the rear, although the latest 308 does have a better boot than before. Equipment is generous as well, with every car apart from the base model featuring full-colour sat-nav and top models boasting standard kit normally associated with premium cars.
Overall, the latest Peugeot 308 is a top-notch family hatchback that should certainly be on your shortlist, alongside class favourites such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. Just make sure the rear seats are practical enough for you before you sign on the dotted line.
The latest generation of the 308 is proving to be a real return to form for Peugeot, after years of producing underwhelming and bloated family hatchbacks. The new 308 was the first model to benefit from Peugeot's upmarket 'premium' approach, and was a significant step forward from its dumpy predecessor (also called the 308). Since launch in 2014 the Peugeot 308 has gone on to win real favour among the discerning carbuying public.
The stylish design and showroom appeal plays a major role here. Ditching the tallboy approach of the last model in favour of sleek, modern and low bodywork has done wonders for the car's appeal. Inside, too, the 308 has gone all futuristic on us, ditching most of the buttons and switches for a smart touchscreen to control the generous equipment list.
The 308 battles against the big players in the family hatchback market: the likes of the best-selling Ford Focus, VW Golf and Vauxhall Astra, as well as the SEAT Leon and Renault Megane. The 308 has a trump card though, dating back to 2014 when it was crowned European Car of the Year.
Based on the same lightweight PSA Peugeot-Citroen platform that underpins the fine Citroen C4 Picasso people carrier, the Mk2 308 is up to 140kg lighter than the first-generation model (a car launched in 2007 to replace the 307). This ensures performance is strong but, more importantly, means the car delivers exceptional fuel economy – further helped by Peugeot's hi-tech PureTech petrol and BlueHDi turbodiesel engines.
Image 2 of 12
There are five core trims in the 308 line-up, as well as the range-topping GTi by Peugeot Sport models. The entry-level version is called Access, and from there you can move up through Active and Allure to GT Line and GT trims. Peugeot also sells the 308 as an SW estate, although there's no longer a coupe-convertible to replace the old 308 CC; the market for those cars has dried up.
Engines, performance and drive
The latest 308 drives very strongly indeed, with a balance of ride and handling that competes with the class leaders. As indicated by the classy looks and interior, the focus of the mainstream models is on good cruising comfort over long distances: low noise levels, a supple ride and good stability make the Peugeot a fuss-free choice in everyday use.
It's not soft or soggy, though. The car is much sharper to drive than older 308s, with decent turn-in and fair agility in corners. Over-assisted, artificial-feeling steering does cloak some of this, but it's still an enjoyable car that doesn't roll or wallow over twisting roads. And as road surfaces get worse, so the suspension's ability to isolate you improves.
GT models are firmer (their suspension is up to 10mm lower than on the equivalent GT Line version), but they remain comfortable, and the GT's larger 18-inch alloys can give a more comfortable ride than models on smaller rims. The extra grip of this version is welcome and it's a convincing warm hatch.
Stepping things up again is the 308 GTi, with a very focused chassis that proves Peugeot still knows what it takes to make a great hot hatch.
Peugeot offers a choice of six petrol engines and four diesels in the 308. Diesels are generally more popular with larger Peugeots, and buyers can pick from 1.6 or 2.0-litre BlueHDi versions, in two different power outputs.
The 1.6-litre BlueHDi four-cylinder comes in either 99bhp or 118bhp guise: on the core 308 Active model, the price difference between the two is around £1,000. The BlueHDi 100 feels like an entry-level engine in terms of performance, too. It claims 0-62mph in 11.3 seconds and a top speed of 116mph. Peak torque of 254Nm comes in nice and early at 1,750rpm, but it isn't the most muscular engine. It also only has a five-speed gearbox.
The 1.6 BlueHDi 120 has a six-speed gearbox and the enhanced performance to back it up: 0-62mph takes 9.7 seconds and top speed is 122mph. It's also more torquey, delivering 300Nm at 1,750rpm, plus its peak power comes in 250rpm earlier than on the BlueHDi 100, at an accessible 3,500rpm. This makes it the better, more well rounded engine, although both 1.6-litre diesels are smooth, fuss-free and impressively refined.
Image 5 of 12
Peugeot also offers the 1.6 BlueHDi 120 with its six-speed Efficient Automatic Transmission, or EAT6. This is a generally smooth and slick-shifting automatic gearbox (it's much smoother and less frustratingly jerky than Peugeot's earlier automated manual gearboxes), with steering wheel shift paddles in support. It adds around £1,000 to the price, which is a bit easier to swallow than the usual £1,500 extra for a 'full' auto. Surprisingly, it makes the diesel marginally faster from 0-62mph than the manual, cutting its time to 9.5 seconds.
The 2.0-litre engine, offered in 148bhp BlueHDi 150 and 178bhp BlueHDi 180 guise, is a little gruffer, but its stronger performance makes this easy to forgive. The 148bhp version claims 0-62mph in 8.9 seconds and a 132mph top speed. It also produces a much meatier 370Nm of torque at 2,000rpm, making this version a good choice if you regularly travel with passengers or want to drive long distances with a lack of fuss.
The BlueHDi 150 is offered with the EAT6 automatic gearbox alongside the regular six-speed manual. The auto works well with the torquey diesel engine and, again, helps to cut its 0-62mph time, to 8.6 seconds.
The BlueHDi 180 is only available with the EAT6 box. This engine produces its 178bhp a little earlier, at 3,750rpm, although it only has 30Nm more torque. For this reason, acceleration isn't significantly better – 0-62mph takes 8.4 seconds – but the extra top-end power shows through in the higher 137mph top speed; the BlueHDi 150 tops out at 132mph.
The six petrol engine choices are focused around two core units, the 1.2-litre PureTech and 1.6-litre PureTech. The 1.2-litre engine is a three-cylinder unit, available in non-turbo 81bhp guise or, with a turbo, as 108bhp PureTech 110 and 128bhp PureTech 130 motors.
Avoid the PureTech 82 unless you're purely focused on list price. It's slow, taking 13.3 seconds to cover 0-62mph, and 118Nm of pulling power won't cope well with laden family trips. The 108bhp PureTech 110 turbo is far superior: 0-62mph takes 11.1 seconds, it has a 10mph higher top speed of 117mph and offers almost twice the torque, at 205Nm, delivered at just 1,500rpm.
The PureTech 130 lifts things further, with 0-62mph taking 9.6 seconds, a top speed of 129mph and torque swelling to 230Nm. It also has a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, or the optional EAT6. All PureTech engines have a pleasant throbbing engine note and the torque of the turbo makes them easy to drive and impressively refined. They're very grown-up, appealing engines.
The sporty-feeling 1.6-litre PureTech comes with either 202bhp, 248bhp or 267bhp, all delivered at an identical (and revvy) 6,000rpm. Even the PureTech 205 does 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds – a significant performance step up over any other 308 engine. The GTi PureTech 250 does it in 6.2 seconds and the GTi PureTech 270 in just 6.0 seconds, with both hitting a 155mph top speed. A healthy torque output of between 285Nm and 330Nm from less than 2,000rpm proves that this motor is as flexible as it is powerful – again, it's ultra-smooth and appealing to use, too.
Curiously, the 1.6-litre PureTech is the only engine in the 308 not to be offered with the EAT6 automatic option: all versions are hooked up to the six-speed manual only. We think the auto box would suit it well.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
Excellent fuel economy makes the Peugeot 308 one of the stars of the family hatchback market. Again, the diesel versions stand out most, particularly the BlueHDi 120 – in its most fuel efficient guise, it claims an amazing official figure of 91.1mpg. Even the Allure model, with its larger 16-inch alloys, averages 88.3mpg according to Peugeot, pushing CO2 emissions up from 82g/km to just 84g/km.
Indeed, the manual version of the BlueHDi 120 is more fuel efficient than the EAT6 automatic alternative, which claims 80.7mpg, and the lower-power BlueHDi 100, with its 78.5mpg official returns. Both are still competitive, though, and again emit less than 100g/km of CO2, for free road tax. Impressively, 1.6-litre BlueHDi 308s with larger 17-inch and 18-inch alloys also get under the magic 100g/km CO2 emissions mark.
Image 12 of 12
There's a sub-100g/km 2.0-litre BlueHDi 150 model, too: with the manual gearbox, it claims a superb 78.5mpg, plus it promises 0-62mph in 8.9 seconds. Coincidentally, Peugeot says both EAT6 automatic 2.0-litre BlueHDi versions average 70.6mpg, which means not a single diesel 308 claims economy of less than 70mpg.
Petrol engines are equally impressive. The non-turbo 1.2-litre PureTech 82 is perhaps the exception – this has official economy of only 56.5mpg – but adding a turbo sees the PureTech 110 rocket up to 70.6mpg. This petrol engine has low CO2 emissions as well; its 95g/km output means exemption from road tax. The swifter PureTech 130 claims 62.8mpg.
Even high-performance 1.6-litre PureTech versions of the 308 deliver strong efficiency. The 202bhp model averages 50.4mpg and emits a fleet-friendly 130g/km of CO2, while the 267bhp engine in the GTi claims a highly impressive 47.1mpg and 139g/km emissions.
Insurance groups
There's a broad line-up of 308 models, and a wide range of insurance groups as a result. They start at just 9E for the low-performance 1.2-litre PureTech 82; specifying a turbo only adds three insurance groups, with the Active coming in at 12E and the Allure (featuring larger alloys and more equipment) in group 13. PureTech 130 versions start at insurance group 14E.
For petrol engines, there's then a big jump to the 1.6-litre PureTech, reflecting its much stronger performance. The PureTech 205 is in group 26E and the GTi models both sit in group 34E.
Diesel versions will have steeper premiums than their petrol equivalents, perhaps because insurers feel their higher-mileage drivers pose a greater risk. The BlueHDi 100 is in group 16E, and this rises to group 19E for the BlueHDi 120. Here, Allure and GT Line trim jump two groups, to 21E, which is worth bearing in mind when you're in the showroom.
The 2.0-litre BlueHDi 150 starts at group 25E, with the fancy BlueHDi 180 EAT6 GT weighing in at group 29E – high for a 178bhp diesel.
Unlike some older Peugeots, the 308 is predicted to hold on to its value pretty well. On average, it retains around 39 per cent of its new list price after three years, and there's not much difference between petrol and diesel variants, which reflects the enhanced appeal of the PureTech engines over earlier, older versions.

The stars of the range are the GTi versions, whose new-to-market, high-performance appeal is reflected by a retained value of over 45 per cent. But even the 1.6-litre BlueHDi 120 Active is predicted to hold on to over 40 per cent of its showroom price; moving up the range sees the retained value drop, so don't get carried away if you want to maximise your return come resale time.
As if to demonstrate this, experts predict that the 1.2-litre PureTech 82 will hold on to over 43 per cent of its list price. So while this affordable entry-level model isn't a particularly strong performer on the road, it delivers as an ownership proposition.
Interior, design and technology
Peugeot has given the 308 a high-quality interior that's modern and stylish in design. It's more modern and contemporary than the slightly traditional layout of a Volkswagen Golf, while the premium materials and fit and finish seem right up there with the class-leading hatchback, too. It's a very impressive achievement by Peugeot.
The dashboard has a couple of real highlights. The instruments are novel, with the rev counter operating in a 'reverse' direction to the speedo. This is odd at first, as it's unlike any other car on the road, but it's a cool touch once you're familiar with it. As with the 208, the steering wheel is also ultra-small so you view the dials above it rather than through it. Again, you have to get used to this.
In the centre of the soft-touch dash are some beautiful details, such as the sleek centre console surround and fancy air vents – but very few buttons. Everything, including the heater dials and stereo buttons, has been centralised in the high-resolution touchscreen in the middle. Once again, it's something you have to 'learn': pressing two or three buttons just to change the heater temperature is fiddly at first. The system does work smoothly, though, and is nicely presented. It gives the 308 a hi-tech feel.

All versions are well equipped. The base Access gets DAB, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, air-con, cruise control and LED daytime running lights. Active ups the equipment further, with climate control, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights and wipers, plus 16-inch alloy wheels. Allure adds full LED headlights, front parking sensors, power-fold door mirrors, a space-saving electric parking brake and 17-inch alloys.
The sporty-looking GT Line includes visual extras, such as 18-inch alloys, dark-tint windows, twin exhaust trim and aluminium detailing inside. The GT goes further: it's lowered, and the front foglights are replaced by cooling air intakes. Plus, inside there's a Driver Sport Pack – press its sport button and the steering gets heavier, the throttle sharper and the dials turn from white to red. It also has a Driver Assistance Pack with autonomous emergency braking and radar cruise control. As for GTi models, they include all the high-performance extras you'd expect of a luxury modern hot hatch.
Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment
A key selling point of the 308 is the fact that sat-nav is standard early on in the range – it features on the key Active model, which is one up from base Access trim. Peugeot even includes five years' mapping updates with the 9.7-inch colour touchscreen system.
Image 6 of 12
The trouble is, some owners are put off by the set-up's complexity. This was reflected in the Auto Express Driver Power 2015 satisfaction survey, where the 308 ranked only 47th for in-car technology – perhaps a bit disappointing for Peugeot given the car's reliance on the touchscreen system for so many of its major functions.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
The latest 308 is more practical than earlier models. The new platform gives a better driving position and more flexibility, although the back seats could still be roomier. Peugeot seems to have traded rear passenger space for boot capacity: if you want a better all-rounder for passengers and luggage, try the Peugeot 308 SW with its longer wheelbase.
Owners were a bit lukewarm on the 308's seat comfort when responding to the Auto Express Driver Power 2015 satisfaction survey. They told us it's merely adequate. Still, the seats themselves are nicely finished, while low engine noise ensures impressive refinement on the move, adding to the classy, premium feel inside the car.
It doesn't look it, but the Peugeot 308 is a little bit shorter and narrower than the class norm. It's 105mm shorter and 19mm narrower than a Ford Focus, and is a touch lower as well. This perhaps explains why interior space isn't quite as good as it could be, particularly in the rear. Compared to the 4,465mm long Mazda 3, the 308 looks a bit short, at 4,253mm. It's significant that the 308 SW estate has around 110mm added to the length of its wheelbase…
The 308 is a light car, though, with the 1.6 BlueHDi 120 Active model weighing in at just 1,205kg. A few years ago, this is the kind of figure we would have associated with a supermini, and shows the lightweight efficiencies of the new PSA Peugeot-Citroen EMP2 platform on which the 308 is based.
The styling does make it hard to take full advantage of the car's slightly more compact size, though: the back window is narrow and the C-pillars thick, and both compromise rear visibility.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
The Peugeot is rather disappointing for passengers in the rear, as a result of its length and focus on maximising boot space. The rear doors are big enough, but there could be more space between the front and rear seats; climbing aboard can be a bit tricky. Foot space isn't great, either, and the low-set rear bench only adds to the tight feel inside.
Image 4 of 12
Getting out can be a struggle, too, particularly if you have bigger feet, and this is one of the few family cars in which adults in the rear may be asking those in the front to slide their seats forward. At least headroom isn't bad – unless you choose the panoramic roof, that is. Take note if you're looking at Active models and above, where it's a temptingly priced £500 option.
On paper, the 308 has a very spacious boot, offering 470 litres with the seats up and 1,185 litres once they're folded. But this is a little misleading, as the shape of the boot doesn't quite allow owners to make full use of the space. This isn't the estate-rivalling luggage bay the figures suggest.
Image 7 of 12
The 308 does offer extra hidden space below the load area, which is handy, but it's a pity this versatility hasn't been extended to the interior. The glovebox is tiny and the armrest cubbyhole, normally a useful stowage space, is also cramped.
Reliability and Safety
Our Driver Power satisfaction survey suggests that the latest 308 is a pretty reliable car. In 2015, it ranked 17th overall, and placed 30th in the reliability category – a strong result for a Peugeot. A build quality score of 24th was even better.
Even though the car was crash tested in 2013, when Euro NCAP's assessments were tougher than in previous years, it was still awarded a full five-star safety score. Adult protection was rated an excellent 92 per cent, and child protection at 79 per cent. Pedestrian protection was a middling 64 per cent, but testers rated the safety assist systems more highly, and awarded a score of 81 per cent.
Image 8 of 12
The 308 has a speed assistance system as standard; more recent options include blind spot warning and the Driver Assistance Pack. Peugeot's full LED headlights, standard on high-spec models, deserve praise for their superb night-time visibility, too.
A conventional three-year warranty comes as standard with all 308 models. This consists of a two-year/unlimited-mileage Peugeot package, and an additional year's cover provided by Peugeot's UK dealer network. Why is this? Because the third year is administered by an insurer, rather than Peugeot itself: terms and conditions vary a little, but the warranties are generally identical – albeit limited to 60,000 miles in the third year.
Peugeot offers long service intervals for the 308, but they are dependent on the engine you choose, so take note. The 1.2-litre petrol and 1.6-litre diesel models need maintenance every year or 16,000 miles, while it's every 20,000 miles for the 1.6-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel. A general rule of thumb is that the bigger the engine in the diesel and petrol range, the longer the intervals – and this has been done at least in part with high-mileage company car drivers in mind.

When I click on my Categories links, I get the message "The specified server could not be found."
What have I done wrong? How can I fix it?
Upon further investigation, I see that the URLs for my categories and archives don't look right.
For example, for my General category, the URL is http://www.readinghabits.orgcategory/general/
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Your permalinks for entries are also messed up, sort of similarly (.org4 for entry #4). On the Options/Permalinks page, where you enter the pattern for your permalinks, you need to start with a slash.
And never mind why I knew instantly that that was the problem ;)
You either don't have the mod_rewrite rules installed in your .htaccess file, or your server does not support mod_rewrite. If not then you shouldn't use the nice Permalink options.
It's not the Permalinks I'm having trouble with. Or at least, that's not my highest priority.
I am having trouble with the category and archives links.
Okay, I think I see what you're saying. I disabled the Permalinks and now the categories and archives work. Thanks!
Help. I am a complete novice.........everyone groan now !! right that's enought of that, help is now needed. I have outlook express with hotmail...and I am now the proud owner of hotmail plus. BUT. when I go to view my mail via outlook express it says 'cannot find server', on top of that since I joined hotmail plus I seem to have two accounts with hotmail.. there are presently 7 items which are not getting through to me. I can access some incoming emails via MSN. On top of all of this I'm English (double groan)... anyone ?
Umm, is there a WordPress problem in there somewhere?

The Tammy Show, PTL
Tammy Faye just won't go away. And that seems just fine with us. The heavily-made-up Praise the Lord Broadcasting/Heritage U.S.A. queen who cried her way into the hearts of the American public in the Eighties as wife of wayward televangelist Jim Bakker, sometime singer, and star of the documentary The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2000) descends upon Miami Beach this weekend in her one-woman show, Doing It My Way. Living in a "little house on a cul-de-sac" in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, Roe Messner, Tammy Faye has simplified her life, spending much of her free time with her grandchildren and now, like Cher and Madonna, going solely by the name Tammy Faye.
New Times: Why do this show?
Tammy Faye: 9/11 woke me up. It woke something up within my heart that had been dormant for a long time. When I realized your life can be gone tomorrow, I thought, I've got to get back to doing what I feel the call of God is on my life, and that's being with people, letting people know about God's love and his compassion, and the fact that he is still God. He is still the ruler of this universe no matter what anyone says. I want to give people that hope, because a lot of people lost hope when that happened and felt unprotected.
Is the basis of your show religious?

I would say it's more a you-can-make-it type thing. It's a show that tells people that you may fall down, but by golly, don't lay there! Get back up and start again.
Do you have any desire to go back on television?
I would like to go back on television, secular television. I think I can reach more people where they are. So far I've got a cartoon series lined up, but that's not where my heart is.
Whom do you admire and model yourself after?
Billy Graham. I love his unconditional love and the fact that he has been able to live what he has preached all these years. He just keeps going in spite of everything.
Do you still sleep with your makeup on?
Sometimes. Not always anymore because I feel like my complexion now needs moisture. I have wonderful skin, awesome skin, so I want to keep it that way! I think the makeup has protected my skin from the elements. I don't think the sun has been able to get through it!

graphicxtras.com > Best Octagon shapes for Photoshop and elements CC CS6 CS5 CS4 2015 inc. octagonal, polygons, frames
Works with: Photoshop, Elements
Format: CSH
License: Extended Commercial, royalty free, worldwide, multiple usage, no time limits
Octagon Photoshop shapes gallery (#134) 100 Octagonal shapes designs for Adobe ® Photoshop ® CC 2015 CS4 CS3 CS2 CS6 14 13 12 CS5 CS1 Elements 10 9 8 7 6 etc. Set includes elaborate vector graphics, outlines, double outlines, bold, flower themed vectors, petals, curved, starbursts and many more.
Commercial use, royalty free. All are by Andrew Buckle / graphicxtras.com. Use the vectors to create items for sale such as books, adverts, packaging, cards, mugs, scrapbooking, web pages, hats, shoes, fabrics, posters and more.
Set includes CSH + EPS - on purchase, receive those along with documentation and gallery and serial.
PC and MAC OS X. Use the Photoshop octagon shapes as layers as well as paths / selections / masks and fills. They can be used with all the new features in CC CS6 such as blurring them and adding strokes to them. They can be exported to other applications, distorted, grouped, combined, warped, blended, used with gradients and more. Eight is the magic number.
You can use them to create commercial as well as personal work, you can also use them to create items that can be used in turn to create items for sale. You can use the vector graphics to create logos, books, illustrations, adverts, surreal, packaging, hats, garments, apparel, web pages, shirts, trousers, videos and much more. If you have any questions about the set, please contact us using twitter or email or perhaps leave a message on the Youtube messages page. There is also a license page and also a large selection of possible examples. You can use them without any credit and you can use them world wide.
You may be interested in octagon fonts for use in PS and PS Elements and PSP etc
They can be used as normal vectors in PS Elements but with PSE, you can use them also via the powerful cookie cutter tool. Select the cutter tool and then you will see the a number of options on the top options bar such as the path (which can be any of the items currently included in the presets panel - though there are limits) as well as feathering and also crop (which will crop the entire document to the size of the vector graphic). If the crop is not set to on then the end result is just placed in the original position with the the document and all the image outside of the cutter is removed and you will see the background transparency. While using the cookie cutter in PSE, you can link the vertical and horizontal settings and also add transformations into the mix such as rotations and scaling. Once you have the cookie cutter, you can always re-add another cookie cutter to cut even more away from the path. You can use the result as a wonderful source for strokes as well as patterns. You can also add PSE effects via the filter gallery etc. How to recreate the same tool in PS ? actually quite a few steps and personally, I wish Adobe would just add the cookie cutter into PS as it would be a very useful option (considering how many tools in the toolbox that I hardly ever use)
A great new feature of Adobe CC, libraries. Now you can build up a library of layers, tiles, brushes, etc and all the libraries are accessible via other machines as well as other apps in the CC such as Illustrator. You can drag any of these items to the library and then re-use them at any time in the future. The libraries are all kept in sync via the cloud (though you can use them offline as well as online). You can just drag the item back to the image and add as a new layer etc You can use the libraries to store all the vectors for your projects (as well as images) perhaps grouped by project, or color scheme, or perhaps a selection of flames, or a library full of frames, or perhaps a set by date, or abstract themes and so on.
If you are a super user of PS then you probably know how to use all the features in the app though as PS is so big and has so many ways of doing things, you probably still don't know every single thing about the app (I know I never will). You can find out a lot about the paths via our video tutorials on the graphicxtras channel on Youtube.com as well as Tipdesk.com as well as Vimeo.com. You can find out how to alter the paths, how to modify them, distort them, use them with smart filters, use them with styles, how to use them as a source for brushes, use them to create patterns, how to combine them with other paths, how to use them with the new layer effects, how to save them to the CC libraries, exporr them to After Effects and Affinity Photo etc, how to use them with the perspective warp and much more. Any questions, please let us know via our contact section which can be found via the top of the page
The presets work fine on their own but they can work even better as a smart object. You can convert the presets into a PS smart object via the layer menu or via the filter menu (smart filters). As a smart object, you can use smart filters and that means the settings are not cast in stone so they can be changed at any point. You can also change the underlying vector graphic and use visual effects as well as tiles etc to that. You can also transform and modify them in numerous ways to create truly unique forms. You can duplicate the smart object, combine the smart objects into new smart objects, layer styles that can be used and changed at any point, you can even save the vector preset via the linked to command which saves it as a PSB file for future projects.
If you have 100s of sets of vector graphics then it is quite hard to find a particular CSH vector, there is a great solution from Tumasoft - a preset browser. It will find all the vector graphics and display a preview / thumbnail. You can also export the vector thumbnails as a raster format file for future reference. A great tool, you can find more about Breeze on their site. You can also access the set via the powerful plugin tool 'ArtBlue' from Amazon Canvas which can also read and display the artworks
With the creative cloud subscription there are often new releases and new exciting features are added to the PS app every couple of months, always something new to look forward to. With the October 2014 release, a flame render has been added into PS. The tool uses paths and you can generate a path from the CSH artworks: apply as a path. Run the flame tool and set the type / style / width / length (there are a lot of different settings). Personally I prefer to run the filter (found in the render menu of filter) on a new layer as the flame is then added to that and can be transformed and duplicated, layer effects applied and much more.
You can use them as is in a document and then define the artwork as a brush, you can also use them with effects as well as 3D extrusions etc to create many new strokes in PS for use also in PS Elements and GIMP etc Create Brushes from Custom Shapes Tutorial
