Album Review
This Dayton, OH, band came to typify swinging, effervescent, and melodic funk in an era when Parliament, Funkadelic, and other outfits were getting bogged down and burned out. Zapp, unlike the other P-Funk units, had their own personality divorced from George Clinton, so much so a listener might not get the connection unless they read the album notes. While both Zapp and Roger had enough hits to make separate greatest hits compilations, All the Greatest Hits works well due to the song inclusions and the level of skill. Zapp's first hit, "More Bounce to the Ounce" with it's hard-hitting funk with jazzy underpinnings, set the template. Tracks from Roger Troutman's solo debut, like the great "Do It Roger" and a cover of "Heard It Through the Grapevine," seemed to sap the strength from the Zapp name, although the band was on them too. Zapp's 1983 near-classic "Heartbreaker 1 and 2" still amazes with its minimal, lean sound. The synth-based sound also served Troutman well on the mid-'80s solo hit "In the Mix" and Zapp's ballad "Computer Love." As the Zapp never did regain its commercial footing by the late '80s, Roger fared better solo and turned in the romantic ballad and surprise hit "I Wanna Be Your Man." All The Great Hits diminishes its appeal by adding disposable tracks like "Curiosity '93 (Remix)" and the live "Midnight Hour-Live '93 (Remix)." While the hits are indeed here, a fan could just as easily obtain a 1980-84 album of Zapp or Roger to get a better sense of the importance of the music.

As one of Europe's most popular vehicles, the Ford Fiesta's sales is an interesting datapoint when it comes to looking at the strength of the overall European car market. So it's interesting that despite a supposed rebound of Europe's new car market, Ford is cutting Fiesta output at its plant in Cologne, Germany.

The wildly optimistic fuel economy figures touted by auto makers in Europe could be in for a major revamp, as the EU looks to change the way these tests are conducted.
I've been on the road for the last few weeks and one of the places I was able to visit was the Smithsonian Institution's Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles International Airport located just outside of Washington DC. Unlike the National Air and Space Museum located on the national mall close to the capitol building, the Udvar-Hazy Center is an enormous facility and although I have visited other aircraft museums that have had larger collections on display, I think it is safe to say that the Smithsonian's collection is second to none. The aircraft on display span the history of flight and include both military and civilian examples. More importantly, at least for the sake of this discussion, they come from every corner of the globe and as they sit there, lined up beside one another, it's easy to compare the craftsmanship of one nation's products against the next.
The British Newspaper The Telegraph is reporting that, if senior European law enforcement officials have their way, all cars entering the European market may soon be fitted with a remote shutdown device that would allow police officers to electronically deactivate any vehicle at the touch of a button.

After talk of increasing the seperation between Chevrolet and Opel, GM has announced that it will axe the Chevrolet brand in Europe, despite previously aiming to make Chevrolet its low-cost brand, while signing a nine-year, $584 million deal to have the brand sponsor Manchester United football club.
While Americans are still asking whether it's even wise to buy small turbocharged engines instead of larger naturally aspirated ones, we in Europe are slowly losing our ability to even choose a car without a turbocharged engine. Volkswagen has recently announced that it is going turbo only – but in our market, the transition is nearly complete. Except for base engines in Polo supermini and Up! city car, basically everything else has a turbo slapped on it – and it looks much the same with other VAG brands. Others are following closely – Ford eliminated most of its naturally aspirated engines, except for the base 1.6 in Focus and small engines in Fiesta. Renault is coming with new tiny turbo plants to replace small four cylinder NA motors – and is even introducing them to its low-cost brand Dacia. PSA, Fiat, Opel and others are heading this direction as well.
But, why is that? Is it that Europeans are more forward thinking, more interested in economy an environment than polar bear killing 'murricans with their massive V6s and V8s? Is it the European driving style and road network, requiring smaller and lighter cars?
With just 143 examples registered in the UK, Aston Martin has quietly dropped the Cygnet city car – based on the Toyota iQ. According to UK mag Autocar, Aston Martin will also not be re-entering this space, and will focus on what it does best: making high end performance cars. Originally conceived as a way to meet strict European emissions rules, the Cygnet failed to meet Aston's initial sales projections of 4000 units annually.
Remember all that hype about how a Detroit-area Jeep plant would be building the Maserati Levante SUV, for export back to Italy? Yeah, me either.
Europe's auto market implosion has led BMW to shift units earmarked for the continent over to the United States and China, where demand remains strong.
Europe's new car market continues on its downward spiral with sales down 2.8 percent in June. Half year sales are down 6.8 percent across the EU, data released today by the European Automobiles Manufacturers' Association ACEA show today. Some countries and automakers do much better, some much worse. Read More >

Here Comes the Sun...
After a late spring and early summer drought that ranged from severe to exceptional, followed by a complete U turn with one of the wettest July through September periods on record, a "well earned" spell of pleasant weather will finish September, starting with a fine weekend featuring plenty of sunshine each day and clear skies at night. High pressure at the surface, expected to set up shop across the western Lower Rio Grande Valley and Rio Grande Highlands, will provide a light to moderate north to northeast breeze each day, bringing lower humidity to the region, and holding daytime temperatures near or a hair below seasonal averages. Calm winds at night will allow readings to drop through the 60s, with perhaps some upper 50s in normally cooler locations away from the coast. After the summer swelter, mixed in with clouds, rain, and the occasional threat from tropical cyclones, this weekend - in fact the rest of September - will be a treat, indeed! A great time to enjoy outdoor activities in the Valley, this is your weekend.
...But Watch for Fog
The combination of clear, calm conditions, with lengthening nights, and plenty of residual ground moisture, will set the stage for locally dense ground fog each morning through the weekend and perhaps into early next week. Persons planning to drive late at night and during the early morning hours should remember to heed the following safety precautions:
Rainfall: The Story So Far
September, 2008 completes a trifecta of wet months to close out the warmest part of the year. Indeed, preliminary rain totals at Brownsville since July 1st (25.42 inches to date) rank third all time, since records began in the late 19th century; at Harlingen, 25.12 inches ranks 2nd all time since 1911, with only the notable hurricane year of 1933 having more rain. Preliminary rain totals for September, 2008 to date rank in the top 15 all time at Brownsville (9.57 inches), and in the top 20 all time at Harlingen (8.34 inches). Highest storm totals were found at the coast, where at least 10 inches fell (more than 11 inches at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, northeast Cameron County), on top of eroded shorelines from Ike and Gustav. The image below shows a rainfall estimate for September, 2008, through the 25th. A monthly, and seasonal, summary will be posted in early October.

Another Chance for Rain Tuesday
The rainfall as of late has been extremely hard to come by. Thankfully our upper level low is still close enough to provide a 40% chance for showers and storms on Tuesday.
Moisture will continue to stream in off the Gulf of Mexico on the eastern side of the low. This moisture will help to fuel scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms. Unfortunately, they will be rather tough to pinpoint, so it's a good idea to grab the umbrella just in case. At least the extra clouds and showers will help to keep the temperatures in check for at least another day.
The rain chances will go away by the middle of the week and highs will return back into the low to middle 90s!

EDITORS?NOTE: In Observence of Veteran's Day, Mrs. Higgins sixth grade english class at Elkins Middle School wrote letters explaining what Veteran's Day meant to them.
Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Veterans Day? Maybe you have also wondered why we should give our gratitude and tanks to a veteran. I have wondered the same thing, so I decided to find out. After doing research, I?came to my conclusion. I invite you to cotinue reading as I uncover everything veterans have done for us.
I ask again why do we celebrate Veterans Day? We celebrate to honor men and women that have fought for our freedom in many differnt wars. When we celebrate Veteran's Day, we should think of more than getting our of school. We should remember the veterans that went to war so we could be free.
Why should we give our gratitude and thanks to a veteran? Have you ever thought about everything a veteran has done for us? Some have gove to foreign places and fought for our freedom. Some have even died protecting our rights. We should at least give them a simple thank you for that.
Now, you know about Veterans Day, and why we thank veterans. I challange you to go thank a vetran in your community for what he or she has done for our country and its rights. Try to remeber why we celebrate next Veterans Day, and not just getting off scool or work. Thans for reading.

A man who apparently overdosed on drugs during a standoff with sheriff's deputies last week at a Gorman motel has been jailed without bail and charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife.
Franklin Grammer, 53, of Oklahoma, was arrested Monday morning following his release from a local hospital. He is being held in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles pending an extradition hearing, officials said.
The Johnson County, Kans. District Attorney's office filed the charges Friday.
Grammer allegedly shot his estranged wife in the head outside of a house in suburban Fairway, Kans. last week, days after a judge denied her request for a court protective order.
On Thursday, police found Grammer at an Econo Lodge motel in the tiny town of Gorman. He held off sheriff's deputies for nearly eight hours, threatening to hurt himself.
Sheriff's deputies stormed his motel room after firing tear gas canisters inside and found a comatose Grammer on the bed. He was airlifted to a local hospital.
Police found two small, uninjured dogs and a gun in the room. The dogs were turned over to Grammer's relatives.
The case has caused a stir in Fairway, a suburb of Kansas City, Kans., where police and a witness to the crime described the community as quiet and relatively safe.

March 14, 2015: Skoda might have discontinued Fabia from Indian auto sector but if recent media report are to be believed, the company is planning to relaunch the hatch in a premium avatar. Fabia launched in 2011 has failed to put exciting numbers in sales chart and with this new 'premium avatar' move, the automaker might want to change that for sure. The Fabia which was showcased at the Paris Motor Show, houses a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder and 1.2 liter 4-cylinder TSI petrol engine and 1.4 liter diesel engine in different state of tunes, all Euro 6 compliant. The engines are capable of saving upto 17% more fuel than the outgoing model, thanks to the advance start-stop and brake energy recovery system, that comes standard across all variants.

Skoda Fabia is considered India's first Super Hatch by its manufacturers. The car has a huge passenger and cargo space designed with premium looks. It is comfortable and has as much room like any big luxury car . Skoda Fabia comes in petrol and diesel variants. With its dynamic and stylish looks, it is in great demand these days. The look of the Skoda Fabia is very robust, sporty and aggressive that attracts a huge crowd towards it.
Skoda Auto, the Czech manufacturer of the Volkswagen Group is known to develop and manufacture premium automobiles for the world market. From the year 2001, Skoda Auto's Indian operations began and the company has not looked back ever since. In the year 2008, Skoda introduced its second generation Fabia in India. This 5-door large hatchback has been a successful model with over 15 lakh units sold in Europe and other countries. In 2012, the car maker launched rugged variant of Fabia and christened it Skoda Fabia Scout.
The car with its elegant exteriors and interiors sheds style and sophistication. The exterior of the Skoda Fabia with sleek body graphics and chrome finishing radiator grille makes the look more dynamic and sporty. The logo on the bonnet of the car exhibits its brand value. The roomy and spacious interiors of the car are very impressive with dual tone interior makes the look more stylish and classy. The overall look of the Skoda Fabia is very elegant and irresistible.
New Skoda Fabia is available with three engine options including 1.2 litre-MPI-75 bhp petrol engine, 1.2 litre TDI-CR-75 bhp diesel and 1.6 litre-MPI-105 bhp petrol engine . These models are available with various variants each (with the sub names Active, Ambition and Elegance). All the variants are mated with five speed manual gearbox and are essentially front wheel drive. The newly added members in Fabia family, Skoda Fabia Scout MPI and TDI are powered by the same petrol and diesel engines, respectively. These high-end models sit on the top of basic Fabia model line-up.
Skoda Fabia has a chassis that has a sophisticated front McPherson strut suspension along with a strong lower A-arm and non-independent rear suspension. Skoda has kept the condition of Indian roads in the forefront while designing Skoda Fabia for the Indian market. The braking system of the Skoda Fabia is now added with Engine Braking System (EBS) that co-exists with ABS and dual rate brake assist. Each variant comes with front dual airbags for enhanced safety. The new Fabia has got reworked wider front fog lamps, smiley face lower air intake, 14 inch alloy wheels. The interior of the car sports chrome decor, ivory colour, new checkered upholstery that certainly adds a beauty quotient to the car.
The new Skoda Fabia Scout India has specific features which make it a completely new experience and suits customers looking for something unique. The looks that Scout carries are rugged and urban. It has spacious interiors with leather seats and manly exteriors. New Fabia Scout is perfect for Indian roads because of its peripheral body cladding, roof rails and bumper spoiler & diffuser which will save the hatchback from dents, scratches and mud. New set of projector beam headlamps adorn the front while stainless steel pedals find their way in the cabin. Integrated audio player, power windows, remote locking, tinted glasses are present in Skoda Fabia Scout also as they are present in other Fabia variants.
Skoda Fabia is a very sporty and aggressive car with dynamic looks that are of appealing nature. The design of the car makes it class apart from its peers. Fabia's wide look is enhanced by its tight-fitting roof, stretched halogen headlamps – a blend of aesthetics and functionality and its big chrome bar with classy looks. The alloy wheels with wide tyres all the more enhance the overall appeal.
The exterior looks of Skoda Fabia are very chic with sleek Skoda contours on bonnet and smooth blend of functionality. The first glance attraction in Skoda Fabia is the impressive Chrome finish front grille with fins attached vertically. The front bumper with lip spoiler takes the cake away. Not only the front but the car is very much attractive with elegant side profile and back view. Body colour external mirrors and door handles just take the look on cloud nine. The black decorative foil on the pillars gives that extra bit of style and elegance to this Super hatch and makes it very irresistible.
One will definitely fall in love with this Super hatch in just one glance with its dynamic alloy wheels and the classy multi- reflector fog lamps extending towards the sides for the clear vision. The elegant headlight of the car beside the front grille makes the look of the Skoda Fabia more sporty and robust. The tail lights give a very impactful look to its exterior.
The new Skoda Fabia has got frontal makeover that is hard to see for a general car buyer, but yes, the alteration provides the car more character. The lower portion gets a smiley air dam and wider fog lamps along with slight dimensional changes in the upper part of the bonnet. The older fog lamps sat at the corner of the wide cluster while the new Skoda Fabia gets fog lamps spread across the rectangular slots. However, no noticeable change is there at the rear side. If you say that the new model has got no considerable changes in terms of its exterior appearance, we would have to agree with you.
However, facially what can be said different is the new Skoda Fabia Scout. The hatchback has been made more chic, stylish and edgier. The front fascia of the new Skoda Fabia Scout has been blessed with a silver colored chin spoiler integrated in the front bumper whereas the rear bumper features a silver diffuser. The peripheral body cladding is just close to perfect and blends in well with the entire theme of the hatchback. The front and back bumpers are wrapped with protective cladding; even doors, sill and wheel arch are not devoid of it. The front door sill comes with 'Scout' inscribed on it. The Scout badge even comes on boot lid. The segment first projector beam headlamps are strong and give the driver a perfect view of the road at night. Roof rails impart that tough look to the newly done car that looks like a mini off-roader.
Skoda Fabia is a spacious four-wheeler with 4000 mm length and 1642 mm width . Even if you enter the small car, your head would not hit the roof because the height stands at 1522 mm. A decent wheelbase of 2465 mm proves the decree of inner comfort of the car. Ground clearance of 158 mm keeps the bumpers quite far from chassis. The kerb weight of 1070 is more or less standard in all hatchbacks available in India. A turning circle diameter of 9.8 mm provides quick turns on congested Indian roads. The fuel tank of Fabia can intake a maximum of 45 litre of fuel at a time. Skoda Fabia Scout is the brand new variant launched by Skoda India. The hatchback has been proportionately carved out and stretched out to 4032mm in length. The 1557mm height of Skoda Fabia Scout and 1658mm of width nicely complements the length of the car and help the hatchback to look well-proportioned and balanced.
Skoda Fabia is a very stylish and elegant car with impressive interior that makes the look of the car very classy and unmatched. Skoda Fabia's interior is comfortable, innovative and you feel a sense of safety inside. The room and spaciousness of the car makes you feel very open and with the premium touch, the experience of hatchback turns into a royal and luxurious one .
The interiors of Skoda Fabia have an impressive dual tone design with multi-textured seat fabrics giving it a lavish feeling. The active variants feature Onyx-Grey fabric while Ambition and Elegance trims follow Ivory colored fabric for seats. The instrument panel displays current time, outdoor temperature, instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, distance traveled, time driven and average speed range. The silver finish gear lever knobs and frames make the look of the interior much more extraordinary. The availability of inner door handles and hand brake safety knobs give more style and class to the Skoda Fabia.
With extended headroom and legroom, the car ensures more comfort and driving pleasure. The height adjustable front seats make the style of the car livelier. Some other key features include a remote keyless entry for one-touch lock and unlock, electronically adjustable and heated outside rear view mirrors and front and rear power windows. The Climatic air conditioning enabled in Skoda Fabia ensures perfect comfort inside the car. The new Skoda Fabia comes with new checkered upholstery that enhances the premium appeal of the vehicle. The car also features power steering, power windows, automatic door locking system, large multi functional display and front sun visors. One can find chrome decor for gear-shift selector, frame of gear-shift lever, air conditioning duct sliders, locking button of hand-brake lever in mid and high end variants of car.
Skoda India has always made its cars utterly comfortable and luxurious and Skoda Fabia Scout is no less. The interiors have a lush feel and are comfortable at the same time. Scout variants are also decorated with Ivory Ivory interiors with dual tone Onyx/Ivory soft dashboard, Ivory centre console and door panels along with Ivory upholstery. The sporty steel pedal set along with door sill trims give the car a very chic and sophisticated feel. The dashboard is quite appealing and the integrated music system like normal Fabia helps in making the journey entertaining and relaxing. Leather wrapped steering wheel, Leather wrapped gear-shift selector and Leather wrapped hand-brake lever are some features specific to Skoda Fabia Scout.
Skoda Fabia is a very comfortable car with a swathe of comfort and pleasure. The car is packed with many advanced comfortable features to make the drive very peaceful and hassle free. The car, with its look, style, interiors and exteriors has an array of comfort features that appeal to a great extent to the car lovers.
The Telescopic Power steering of the Skoda Fabia with height and reach adjustments give the comfort and driving pleasure to all kind of drivers and one can adjust and customize his position according to his needs. The Anti glare inside rear view mirror helps the driver to concentrate in driving without any obstacles or distractions of harsh rays of lights by the mirror. The availability of height adjustable front seats gives a comfortable driving experience without any cramps while sitting which is generally common in hatchback cars but not in Skoda Fabia. Some other comfort features are Climatic air conditioner, seat belts, ample room space, boot space, audio system for pleasure, etc.
Other worth mentioning comfort features of Skoda Fabia include large multi functional display, front and rear power windows, tinted windows and windscreen, 2 DIN audio player, rear AC vents, central locking , remote locking and unlocking doors and boot lid, automatic locking of doors on overrun speed, front and rear reading centre lamp, glovebox and boot illumination, 12V power socket in centre console, front sun visors, vanity mirrors, spacious luggage compartment, completely folding rear seat backrest, front and rear cup holders, front bottle holder, coat hooks at rear, ticket holder on A pillar, removable rear parcel shelf with twin level adjustment, etc.
The storage capacity of Skoda Fabia is 315 litre. There are times when a lot of luggage needs to be transferred from one place to another. In such cases, one can fold the rear seat of this hatchback and make space for keeping luggage of the volume of 1180 litre.
The acceleration of car is generally dependant on the power and torque the car has. Skoda Fabia is also a car with great acceleration and power in both its variants- petrol and diesel. The new Skoda Fabia ensures more power and acceleration accordingly; the new models are more powerful installed with finer technologies. Let's have a look at the engine outputs of all the new three powertrains. The 1.2 litre, MPI, DOHC, in line 3 cylinder, 1198cc, liquid cooled petrol engine that produces top power value of 75 bhp (5 bhp more than older one) at 5400 rpm and churns out peak torque of 110 Nm at 3750 rpm accelerates from 0-100 kmph in 15 seconds. The higher end petrol engine, 1.6 L MPI has 4 cylinders, 1598cc piston displacement, DOHC and liquid cooling system, this powerplant develops maximum power of 105 bhp at 2550 rpm and 153 NM of torque at 3800 rpm and speeds up from nil to 100 kmph in 14 seconds . Both the petrol engines is capable of taking Skoda Fabia to a top speed of 160 kmph. The new Skoda Fabia is also offered with diesel engine option; the 1.2 litre, TDI CR, 3 cylinder, DOHC, turbocharged diesel mill returns 75 bhp of peak power at 4200 rpm and deliver max torque of 180 Nm at 2000 rpm. This particular engined Fabia scores a century in terms of acceleration in 17 seconds. This super refined diesel engine can attain a top speed of 185 kmph . With the help of manual 5 speed fully synchronised gearbox, you are sure to get impressive acceleration.
Skoda Auto has reworked to introduce new Skoda Fabia and the end result is amazing in terms of powertrain output; the new Skoda Fabia comes in three different engine options that include two petrol and one diesel mill. The model range has a new base petrol engine that is a 1.2 litre, MPI, 1198cc, DOHC, In line 3 cylinder engine that cranks out a top power output of 75 bhp at 5400 rpm and lays out top torque of 110 Nm at 3750 rpm . The other petrol engine delivers more power and torque than its base model, this is the 1.6 litre, MPI, 4 cylinder, DOHC, 1598cc is capable enough to crank out highest power of 105 bhp at 2550 rpm and belts out maximum torque of 153 Nm at 3800 rpm.
The new Skoda Fabia diesel model specifications read: 1.2 litre, TDI CR, 3 cylinder, DOHC , turbocharged, high pressure direct injection, liquid cool; the diesel engine develops a top power of 75 bhp at 4200 rpm and pumps out a peak torque value of 180 Nm at 2000 rpm. All the models sports manual five speed fully synchronised gearbox. Even Skoda Fabia Scout comes with the same 1.2 litre petrol and diesel engine configurations, respectively.
The all new Skoda Fabia comes in three engines including petrol and diesel. The 1.2 litre in line 3 cylinder, liquid cooled petrol engine delivers a good 16.4 kmpl. Another petrol engine is configured with 1.6 MPI, 1598cc, in line 4 cylinder, DOHC, liquid cooling system; it accounts for low mileage figure of 14.8 kmpl;. The newly added 1.2 TDI CR, DOHC, in line 3 cylinder, direct injection, liquid cooled, turbocharged diesel engine is more powerful that cranks out superb mileage of 20.9 kmpl . All the new Skoda Fabia mills are coupled with manual five speed fully synchronised gearboxes. If one compares this mileage to segment leader Maruti Swift's mileage one will see that its petrol version delivers 14.4-18.6 kmpl of mileage while Swift's agile diesel engine delivers 22.9-23.8 kmpl of mileage. So one can observe that petrol version is superior to Swift but diesel Fabia is inferior to Swift.
As far as power delivery of the new Skoda Fabia models is talked about, they are now more powerful and delivers the best ever results. In comparison to the older versions, the New Skoda Fabia petrol and diesel models give 5 bhp and 7 bhp more power respectively. This also indicates that acceleration has grown up to a considerable level. The new base 1.2 litre MPI petrol engine incorporates in line 3 cylinders, DOHC, and liquid cool system; the combined result is better max power that is 75 bhp at 5400 rpm while it pumps out torque of 110 Nm at 3750 rpm . The 1.6 litre MPI, 1598cc, DOHC, in line 4 cylinder, liquid cooled petrol engine effortlessly lays out 105 bhp of max power at 2550 rpm and 153 Nm of torque at 3800 rpm . The diesel engine of the New Skoda Fabia - 1.2 L, TDI CR, DOHC, 3 cylinder, turbocharged- generates highest power of 75 bhp at 4200 rpm and 180 Nm at 2000 rpm . The innovative manual 5 speed fully synchronised gearbox is mated to each New model.
Skoda Fabia is impressive even in the 'entertainment' bit and provides a CD/MP3, - Skoda Beat 2 DIN audio player -with large graphic display and auxiliary audio input to use portable audio players. This classy audio system will give you a great driving pleasure and comfort wherein you can tune in your favorite numbers while driving. There are four quality speakers in the car. A 12V power socket is provided in the centre console. Some variants come with Aftermarket audio preparation 1-DIN with cable and connector.

Front sun visors, Vanity mirror with cover in front sun visors, foldable roof handles at front and rear and lights-on acoustic signal are standard across the variants.
Skoda Fabia has a front axle McPherson suspension with lower triangular links and torsion stabilizer and compound link crank-axle. The sound braking system of Skoda Fabia is hydraulic dual-diagonal circuit braking system vacuum assisted. The front brakes are disc brakes with inner cooling and with single/piston floating caliper. The rear brakes are drum brakes. The steering system is a direct rack and pinion steering with electro hydraulic power steering . This sound braking system helps the Skoda Fabia in de-accelerating when moving in a high speed. The ABS (Anti Lock Braking System) is also very useful and prevents wheel locking in case of sudden braking.
With the increasing number of vehicle on road, safety measures are the one should ensure before buying a car. The Skoda Fabia is no exception to this, with an array of safety measures; it is one of the safest cars on roads. The availability of ABS (ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) helps in prevention of locking of wheel in abrupt braking.
The Motor Speed Regulation (MSR) and the Engine Braking Control (EBC) are one of its kinds that provide greater safety in halting and good handling of the car. The dual front airbag for driver and front passenger with seat belt pretensioners gives a cushioning effect and minimizes the impact of collision. The seat belt works with the seat pretensioners and also helps to reduce the impact of injury in case of crash.
The dynamic constructed chassis, optimal suspension and power steering ensures easy handling of the car in any type of circumstances. All the engines of Skoda Fabia are combined with a manual five-speed gearbox. It is distinctive for a short travel and precise, easy shifts also the tall gearing ratios lead to lesser gear-shifts and lower motor noise at high speeds. So the driving becomes effortless and relaxed even at high speeds.
Skoda Fabia Active and Skoda Fabia Ambition run on 14 inch steel wheels with Comros full wheel cover of size 5.0J x 14". They have tyre of size 175/70 R14. On the other hand, the top-end Skoda Fabia Elegance and Skoda Fabia Scout boasts of its royal alloy wheels. The 15 inch alloy wheels measure 6.0J x 15" . The tyre size is this case is 185/60.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Officials at Huntsville-area hospitals are asking people to limit their general visits to facilities as much as possible due to an increase in flu cases in the city.
Burr Ingram, vice president of communications and marketing for Huntsville Hospital, sent out a statement this afternoon citing the "best health interests" of patients and staff.
"Persons experiencing symptoms such as fever, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, headaches, chills and fatigue should not visit the hospital unless you are coming to receive care," the statement read. "If visiting is required, please take proper health precautions, including hand hygiene and appropriate mask."
CNN reported today that the annual flu season may be hitting its peak. As of last week, 35 states, including Alabama, were reporting widespread flu activity.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describe the term "widespread" as meaning that more than 50% of the geographic regions in a state, such as counties, are reporting flu activity. The designation addresses the spread of the flu, but not its severity.
The most widespread activity last week was seen in portions of the South and Southwest U.S., CNN reported. The most common strain of flu being reported is the H1N1 strain, otherwise known as swine flu.
Thus far, this year's flu season is not proving to be as severe as last year's.

If you had to make a list of the most controversial topics, you'd probably have things on the list like gay marriage, racism, immigration, and sexism. But if you think about it, war has gotta be the number one choice on the list. There's the ongoing debate about whether war is necessary or not. People criticize American about being involved in wars (people from other countries, and Americans themselves). But if American stayed out of wars oversees, the Nazis would have taken over the world back in the 1940s, wouldn't they have? Then again, wars like the Iraq war and Vietnam war have been complete wastes of money, in which lots of people died, but nothing was really solved.
There are four groups of people when it comes to the debate on war: those who are completely anti-war and go to every protest rally; those who want their country to go to war, but don't actually enlist in the military (even though their able-bodied); those who actually enlist in the military, but aren't necessarily pro-war; and those who are anti-war because it's "it's the cool thing to be". Whether you're pro-war or anti-war, you can still enjoy these cool war related t-shirts.

M.A. Murison (USNO)
In its most-reduced form, the function F describing the squared distance between two points lying on confocal elliptical orbits has six free parameters (semimajor axes ratio, orbital eccentricities, and relative inclination, node, and pericenter) in addition to the two independent variables (true or eccentric anomalies). Thus, F defines a family of two-dimensional differentiable manifolds. The extrema of a surface specified by a particular set of parameter values may be found by setting the derivatives of F equal to zero, which will additionally identify the saddle points. The maximum number of stationary points for this problem is currently unknown, though Gronchi (2001) was able to extablish an analytical upper bound of 16 by use of a theorem from algebraic geometry by Bernstein (1975). It would seem that exploring the six-dimensional parameter space numerically would be prohibitively expensive. However, this problem is suitable for numerical exploration by means of genetic algorithms. This paper reports preliminary results from application of genetic algorithms to searching for the maximum number of stationary points of F.

Tutoring to Get By
If you're broke, unemployed, or just want some extra bones in your pocket to buy that really nice pair of $200 jeans or, hell, maybe the jet ski you've always dreamed of having, tutoring is a great way to make money on the side. You just have to be good at something. Anything—a language, playing an instrument, painting, math, a standardized test, using a computer, etc. People will pay upwards of $50-100 an hour for a lesson in these subjects, you just have to get your name out there and build a clientele base.
Don't think you're good at anything? Well, at the very least you can tutor elementary school kids. Help them with their homework, or teach them how to read. And if you have a college education to back you up, you know more about study skills than anyone under 18.
I've been supplementing my income with tutoring for about 5 years now. I worked my way through college as an on-campus writing tutor, and now tutor for the SAT, the GRE, writing and reading. How do I remember the SAT? Well, I scored high my senior year and knew I could teach someone how to do it if I brushed up with a test prep book. And if you're applying for grad school and studying for the GRE, MCAT, LSAT, CSET, etc., you might as well put all that newfound knowledge to use after taking the test. Of course, don't try tutoring for a test you scored badly on!
I mostly get business through word of mouth. Sometimes I even get paid in cash. Pretty sweet. Although it does get a little weird when I'm tutoring someone twice my age for the GRE. They definitely feel a little awkward, but it's kind of an ego boost!
There are also some sites to help you get started as a professional tutor. Check out Wyzant and TutorSource. These sites are like a Facebook for tutors. Tutors can set up a profile, with a picture and bio, and parents and potential students can search for you. You set your own rate, and the company takes a cut. The cut is usually 30-40%, which is a lot. But typically the more hours you build up with the company, the less they take out of your paycheck. Either way, you have to start somewhere, and this is a good way to start building clientele.
Another great thing about tutoring is that it's rewarding. And if you're thinking about going into teaching, it's a great way to get your feet wet and test out the waters.

Goodie Mob with Cee Lo Green, Big Gipp and more to play the Ogden Theatre
For the first time in since 2010, hip-hop supergroup Goodie Mob will return to Denver for a show at the Ogden Theatre in September.
For the first time in since 2010, hip-hop supergroup Goodie Mob will return to Denver for a show at the Ogden Theatre in September.
By Kristen Browning-Blas The Denver Post Over the weekend in Aspen, Elvis Costello performed and Cee Lo Green did not. At least not on stage.
Reverb is on the ground in Chicago bringing you highlights from this year's Lollapalooza music festival in Grant Park. Day 2 The best: Death From Above 1979 asked the large mid-day crowd, "Did anybody see us in 2006 at [legendary local club] Empty Bottle?
One of the most passed-around online videos in recent memory is an expletive-laced exercise in spite and heartbreak. And are we surprised? It may be tough to take the title of Cee Lo Green's new song and its brilliant karaoke-styled video counterpart — the first word starts with "f," the second word is "you" — but several million folks have consumed it on the Web.
NEW YORK (AP) -- CeeLo Green's reality show won't have a second season. TBS spokeswoman Karen Cassell said Wednesday the network isn't renewing "The Good Life." She did not give a reason but said the decision was made earlier this summer.
As Lionel Richie prowled Red Rocks' stage on Wednesday evening, the legendary R&B icon wasn't there to dress up older B-sides or introduce his fans to that one country duets album he recorded.
Anyone clamoring for Lionel Richie to mount another tour has also likely been doing so with one thing in mind: hearing the 64-year-old R&B singer's greatest hits.
Weezer, "Pinkerton: Deluxe Edition" (DGC) Weezer seems to take pleasure in messing with its fans — especially when the band has our full attention, as it has in recent months with constant touring, a horrendous new album ("Hurley"), an odds-and-ends collection ("Death to False Metal") and the two-disc reissue of its 1996 classic, "Pinkerton." But why is the band giving the deluxe treatment to an album that frontman Rivers Cuomo once called "hideous"?
There are a few artists big enough to orchestrate a country-wide listening party of their new album. Adele and Taylor Swift come to mind.
Summer Jam, Eagulls and more make our list of best Colorado shows this week. We'll be seeing you there, and if you don't make it out, follow the music musings on our Twitter @RVRB and our selfies on Instagram @heyreverb.

I was just looking back at this message and asking a bit about D.J. Farber and capabilities. I was a bit befuddled when I saw that he's a coauthor on the EROS paper. However, I'm not aware of any early capability work by D. J. Farber. Maybe Jonathan Shapiro could fill us in a bit on Farber's role in the EROS work? I also think perhaps Boebert was thinking of Fabry: Fabry, R. S., "List-Structured Addressing", Ph.D. Thesis, University of Chicago, (1971). Fabry, R. S., "Capability-Based Addressing", Communications of the ACM, 17:7, (July 1974), 403-412. Fabry, R. S., "How to Design a System in Which Modules can be Changed on the Fly" to be presented at the 2nd International Conference on Software Engineering, San Francisco, California (October 1976). though of course there is always going to the horse (cc's). --Jed http://www.webstart.com/jed/

Diagnostic errors are increasingly recognized as an important source of preventable harm in many health care settings.1 Missed, wrong, and delayed diagnoses have been underappreciated by internal peer review, autopsy reports, and examination of malpractice claims. All of these methodological approaches have limitations. Internal peer review is often challenging because of local hospital politics, physician-vested interest, and sampling error. Autopsy studies may overestimate diagnostic performance when necropsy rates are low,2 and they often miss nonlethal diagnostic errors. Malpractice claims may capture nonlethal errors; however, they are most often associated with permanent disability or death.3 Only about 1% of adverse events due to medical negligence result in a claim.4 Thus, malpractice-based rates of diagnostic errors substantially underrepresent the true impact of these events and are biased toward cases with a clear paper trail (eg, missed cancers evident on radiographic images), in which the burden of legal proof can be met more easily. None of these approaches is well suited to real-time surveillance for errors that might be rectified before harm occurs.

Kanye West goes punk. Or well, kind of, at least.
"Bad News", the ninth track on 808s & Heartbreak, sandwiched between the often over-looked "Street Lights" and the cult hit Lil' Wayne collaboration "See You in My Nightmare", is a symphonic romp that takes a normal hip-hop beat and pushes it forward into a double-time groove that results in one of the most interesting musical compositions the genre has seen in the last 20 years.
Simply put, it's different. The minor piano chords give the track its Top 40 flare, though the almost-indistinguishable Auto-Tuned voice of West allows the song to stand up to anything else on the album. Without any help from any of the multiple guest stars that appear on 808s, the rapper paints yet another rainy-night picture with this moody track.
"People will talk / Like it's old news / I played it off / And act like I already knew . . .," he croons with his faded vocals. Then, with his Bon Iver-like falsetto, he continues: "Oh you just gonna / Keep it like you never knew / While I'm waiting on a dream / That'll never come true / Oh you just gonna / Keep it like you never knew / My face turned to stone / When I heard the news," before leaving the last two minutes vocal-less after hopelessly asking "What's on the news? / Channel cruise."
That "Bad News" isn't considered amongst some of the most innovative hip-hop music ever made is criminal. Sure, West said that 808s & Heartbreak should be looked upon as more of a pop record than anything else. And yes, even when pressed, he admitted the effort as a whole was a blatant attack on modern-day rap music because of the monotony the genre had been suffering through at the time. But like it or not, Kanye West made his name as a hip-hop artist. So carrying the torch of the genre may not have been a welcome requirement for the release of this album, but it happened nonetheless.
That said, a song such as "Bad News" is nothing more than a courageous attempt at breaking new ground in an otherwise stale world of hip-hop music in 2008. And that's precisely why songs such as this are the reason why 808s is so damn important to the evolution of pop music. Granted, the song is no "Heartless", "Jesus Walks", or "Gold Digger". But it is, however, yet another gem of musical pop art that the Chicago native created during this time period. That, alone, makes the track worth noting when looking at all the songs that paint West's career as a whole.
Much like everything else on this album, "Bad News" is haunting. It's mopey. It's moody. It's infectious. And most of all, it's different. Unlike other pop artists, there was no need for filler here. No need for a simple four-minute track that ultimately goes unnoticed or unheard. Everything on 808s & Heartbreak was heard. And of all the songs that soft-core listeners may pass over, "Bad News" is certainly a track worth dissecting. A track worth appreciating. A track worth remembering.

Yes I am saying that, he has looked shaky in almost every post season game, and if it wasn't for his team scoring ridiculous amounts of goals, the kings wouldn't have made it this far. Like I said quick has had a few very good games, but his overall performance this post season and most of the regular season has him looking Crawford. I'm not saying he isn't elite I'm saying he hasn't been playing at an elite level. On the subject of lundqvist, he hasn't been all too great either, but I think he's been better then quick
They also wouldn't have made it this far without Quick stealing them some games.
Shaky almost every game this postseason? How many games did you watch Quick play this postseason?
Nevermind. Are views are so far apart on this there's really no point in us discussing it.

Until the world ends ..duh
People called it a gimmick right out of the gate.
Personally I feel its lost that title, selling tons of consoles while having many mediocre games out does that.
Now its got all the hits coming out, and is still selling tons of consoles.
Not really a gimmick or a fad, as many people are still in search of them and are demanding them.
And many still are playing with them.
4-5 years is what I give it.
No matter what the circumstances.

So this could mean that nintendo would not be developping and releasing another console in the normal period ( I'm talking about the transition from super nintendo to N64, N64 to gamecube, gamecube to Wii ) maybe nintendo is intending on keeping the wii around longer by adding a LOT of online options and channels. And maybe microsoft is doing the same.
No other consoles had an internet community/or online functions behind/in them. And what do you see with online communitys: It does not matter how old the communitys are, if there are players and new content/things to be had they keep on "Living". Just look at counterstriker and starcraft. VERY old games but still being played all over the place!
Tip of the day:
A big mistake a lot of you make is that wiiware games will be free.
Wiiware is just the same like the virtual console. Its different in that it offers new games instead of old console games.
I can think of some easy games ( Like tetris and some other in that direction ) that can be free but the majority will cost money.
You took the words right out of my mouth. The Wii will continue its popular streak as long as the good games keep on flowing, and there seems to be a lot of them coming our way.Originally Posted by FRuMMaGe

yes now i understand the errors of my ways to question the potential of wii.
Not entirely true.Originally Posted by FRuMMaGe
Like I said, they sold well on Mediocre games, even outsold 360 with those mediocre games.
Now we are getting the good stuff, but I have a strong feeling that if there was a said "drought" of games in the middle of 08 it would not be a problem.
More good games would follow, and we could have mediocre games in between the beginning and the end of 08.
Kinda like the Wii's launch style, although its launch had weak titles as well, so it had mediocre games for a while.
I think the Wii is set now, with all the unreleased dates of the games we have seen previews for, the games coming out soon, the ones that will end up being mediocre and the ones we have heard nothing about.
