an very usefull guide there thanks pal.
an very usefull guide there thanks pal.
Martyn D. (26-02-2010)
excellent guide now i must try this myself some time... i hope i have the same results
Wow, I stumbled accross this searching for something else, I am quite amazed at how simple it looks - that metalik stuff looks spot on! I would like to try it on some wheels some day!
is it possible to put this as a sticky, very informative
brilliant tip
Cheers I've just ordered all the stuff mentioned and will give it a go btw I got the filler from halfords so no shipping costs.
Fantastic - I need to sort one of my wheels after the other half 'kerbed it a bit' (her words - I didn't see manging to do it half way round the wheel was 'a bit'). But might as well do them all (one of the rears is starting to bubble a bit).
Reckon I'll get on it once the weather improves a bit.
Superb, awesome job - will definitely get onto doing mine now.
Maybe a stupid question (that I forgot to ask last time...) but do you not need to use a primer?
I'll definitely be doing a DIY refurb on my wheels after taking my car for an Oil Service today and finding out that it needs a new water pump (leaking), new rad (swollen), another set of rear springs and a load of hoses changing! Great.

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking to purchase my first WRX as a fun side car. My current DD is a 2005 Acura TL in great condition. I used to own a modded Evo before I got the TL and I really miss driving stick and a forced induction ride.
I reside in the Chicagoland area and found this 2002 WRX:
2002 Subaru Impreza WRX, $10,991 - Cars.com
I think the price is a bit high. I'd like to pay somewhere in the $8K range for this due to the high mileage, but it also depends on what maintenance has already been done to the car which I should know by tomorrow.
Any thoughts on this specific model?

Daily currency report
The euro is pressing ahead from two-week highs against the US dollar after German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she remained optimistic Europe will agree on Greece's latest loan deal. However, the euro's climb could be interrupted by key eurozone PMI data followed by EU budget talks. Sterling rose to two-week highs against the US dollar after Bank of England minutes were not as dovish as some in the market had expected. The pound will now have to tackle data from the CBI and growing pressure on the UK Government's fiscal plans after public borrowing numbers were bigger than expected.
Cable is closing in on two-week highs while the pound also reached seven-month peaks against the yen, after Bank of England minutes indicated the central bank will not consider new stimulus measures for the UK economy until next year. The notes revealed an 8-1 vote in favour of keeping the size of the BoE's asset-buying plan at £375 billion at its meeting earlier this month. Comments from the report suggested the Monetary Policy Committee needs more time to examine the impact of earlier cash injections and the central bank said that it is not considering making any changes to interest rates which were also held at 0.5 per cent.
US dollar
The US dollar saw its safety appeal weaken after a measure of US manufacturing for November recorded the fastest growth in the sector in five months. US weekly jobless claims also fell, giving investors more good news about the US economy as a platform to chase higher yields at the US dollar's expense; pushing euro/US dollar to two-week highs. That move was also strengthened by encouraging Chinese data, and comments from Germany hinting that a deal to solve Greece's latest financial crisis could come at another eurozone meeting.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that she remains hopeful a deal for Greece will be struck, helping the euro recover losses which had come after eurozone officials had failed to agree on a new loan agreement for Athens. The single currency then found further support after solid economic data from the US and China refreshed the markets interest in risky currencies, allowing the euro to start at two-week highs against the US dollar. EU budget talks will be closely monitored but key PMI surveys are likely to have a heavier effect on the euro.

What happens to the family home at divorce or domestic partnership dissolution?
Most clients contemplating a divorce want advice about the family home from the get go.
Pending divorce, who will live in the house? How will the mortgage get paid? Where will the kids live? Will the paying spouse be reimbursed for expenditures relating to the residence?
Once we get past these initial questions, the focus shifts to disposition of the home. Who will keep the house? Should one spouse buy the other out? Am I more likely to get the kids if I keep the house? Will we have to sell? How will the proceeds be divided? What if the home was owned by my spouse prior to marriage and I was later placed on title? What if I was never placed on title, do I have an equity interest? If we can't agree on division, will the court make us sell? Can we keep the house until the kids turn 18 and then sell? What if I used my inheritance to pay down the mortgage or make improvements to the home?
Basic community property law provides that (with some exceptions) property acquired by either spouse during the marriage and before separation is a joint asset. In the clearest circumstance, your home was purchased during the marriage with joint savings and/or the earnings of one spouse. Upon divorce, each spouse is entitled to 50% of the equity in the home (although there might be some reimbursements owed for expenses associated with the house after separation but before divorce and/or settlement).
Most family law cases aren't that simple. For example, if you used money you had prior to marriage (or separate property funds acquired during the marriage) to make a down payment, you are entitled to reimbursement for that amount (Family Code Section 2640). Also, if you owned the house prior to the marriage (and then later add your spouse to the title), you should consider hiring an attorney to determine what separate property interest (if any) you have. Another issue that often comes up is when one spouse owned the property prior to marriage and never put the second spouse on title. There are different legal theories the non-titled spouse may try and use to establish a financial interest in the home:
"She promised me that if I used my earnings to pay the mortgage down and we stayed together, I'd be placed on title." In this circumstance, absent a written agreement, you will be hard pressed to win this argument. But it doesn't mean the community (and therefore, you) is screwed. The community likely earned an (equity) interest in the property assuming the value increased and either one of you used your earnings or joint funds to pay down the mortgage.
"I used my inheritance to improve our home because my spouse promised to make me a joint owner." The non-owning spouse may have a reimbursement claim for monies spent on capital improvements or other household bills. This doesn't mean s/he's established an equity interest for any appreciation in the property, but at least a claim for money spent may be returned.
"What if I wasn't on title?" Many clients tell us that they weren't placed on title because their credit was terrible and they qualified for a better loan with their spouse on the mortgage only. Or, one party exerted financial control over the other and refused to place their partner on title. So, is title presumptive? NO! If the property was purchased during the marriage or DP, it's presumptively community (joint) regardless of how title is held. The burden shifts to the spouse who claims it his separate to trace the the property to a separate property source . The burden can also be overcome by producing a written agreement that assigns the property to one spouse only. But be careful! There's also a presumption that the disadvantaged spouse was subjected to "undue influence" when s/he signed the interpartner transaction.
If you have questions about property division after break-up, divorce or domestic partnership dissolution, enter your contact information at this link to schedule a legal consultation with an attorney at Levine Law Group.
PART 2 will explore options for division and/or disposition of the family home at divorce or domestic partnership dissolution.
Having been both a litigant and litigator makes for a unique perspective. I have both empathy and experience to share with my clients and our community. My goal is to resolve family conflict with practical advice, aggressive advocacy, personalized attention and creative, economical solutions.

BBC bosses have defended sending more people to Glastonbury than to Brazil for the World Cup.
Music chief Bob Shennan said all 300 staff covering this month's festival, headlined by Metallica, Arcade Fire and Kasabian, had a "clear, accountable role".
But he added: "Some will inevitably still argue this is too many." He said it was the same number as went to the Somerset bash last year.
The 272 World Cup team in Brazil is a slight reduction on the 295 who covered the 2010 event in South Africa.
The BBC defended the huge Glastonbury staff deployment after this week announcing cuts in flagship departments as it seeks to save £800million a year.
Up to 600 staff face losing their jobs in news and Radio 1 is axing DJs, including Edith Bowman.

Climate Change: A Sacred Glacier Recedes
Climate change is causing glaciers in China's northwest Yunnan Province — including a glacier on one of Tibetan Buddhism's eight sacred mountains — to recede at a historic pace, according to findings by Nature Conservancy scientists.
Northwest Yunnan— which has one of the most diverse temperate ecosystems on Earth — is threatened by rising temperatures that are double the average global trend, according to Barry Baker, a climate-change modeler for the Conservancy. One of the biggest indicators of this warming trend in northwest Yunnan has been the receding glaciers of the Tibetan Plateau — including the Mingyong Glacier, considered sacred by Tibetan Buddhists.
Baker and fellow Conservancy scientists have been studying the effects of climate change in northwest Yunnan Province for the last five years. He talked with Nature.org about the trends he and his partners have discovered, the natural impacts of glacial recessions on local communities and what can be done to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
"The Mingyong Glacier is receding faster than we expected."
Barry Baker, climate change modeler for The Nature Conservancy
How badly have these glaciers receded, and how long has it been going on?
Barry Baker:
Uniformly, the glaciers in northwest Yunnan have gotten smaller in the last 100 years, and they are continuing to recede. The Mingyong Glacier on Mount Kawagebo, one of Tibetan Buddhism's eight sacred peaks, is one of the fastest receding glaciers in the world.
Since we've been watching this glacier in the last 10 years, it's receded about 530 meters. Other glaciers in the region are melting as well: The Hailuogou glacier, located about 250 miles south of Mingyong, has retreated 522 meters since 1983.
Why are these Tibetan Plateau glaciers in particular so susceptible to climate change? Are they melting faster than you expected?
Barry Baker:
These glaciers are very unique. The Tibetan Plateau is often called the "Third Pole" because the mountains in this region are extremely high. However, they are found very near to a subtropical zone. The glaciers can exist due to the extreme heights of the mountains on which they are found, despite those mountains being located in a monsoonal temperate region of the world. Also, temperatures in this region seem to be rising a lot faster than in other areas of the world. We have no idea as to what is causing that.
The Mingyong Glacier is receding faster than we expected. When the glacier was at its maximum (in the late 1800s), the tip of the glacier tongue was almost in the village. It has since receded approximately 2.7 kilometers up the mountain. Glaciers in this region are melting at a very fast rate, and this is believed to be because of changes we have documented in regional climate patterns.
Are glaciers good indicators of climate change?
Barry Baker:
Glaciers are our equivalent to the canary in the coal mine. The only thing that's going to affect a glacier is climate, so when they recede quickly like they do here in northwest Yunnan, you know it's got to be because of climate change.
The mountain on which the Mingyong Glacier sits is sacred. How does this affect your work there?
Barry Baker:
Yes, Mount Kawagebo is a sacred mountain, and as a result we can't do anything invasive to the Mingyong Glacier. Every time we visit the glacier, we get permission from the Mingyong Village leaders, who often walk with us to the glacier. We cannot walk directly on the glacier, and we obviously cannot core the glacier for ice samples.
But we can take pictures of Mingyong, and those pictures help us with repeat photography comparison, in which past images are compared with more recent ones to determine how much the glacier has indeed changed.
Does the rapid warming that is happening on the Tibetan Plateau have an effect on climate in other areas around the world?
Barry Baker:
Indeed it does. The Tibetan Plateau is so high in the atmosphere that a warming trend in this area is akin to sticking a hot frying pan in the atmosphere: Other surrounding areas are very quickly affected. Temperature differences between China's interior and its coasts affect the patterns of monsoons in the South China Sea. So warming in the Tibetan Plateau is predicted to have an affect on the frequency and strength of these monsoonal patterns, as well as global weather patterns.
What kind of effects do the melting glaciers have on local communities?
Barry Baker:
As these glaciers melt, the water patterns of the local area will change. The water quality is affected, because more sediment enters the water, and the water quantity will decrease because the amount of freshwater coming from the glacier decreases as it shrinks in size.
From an ecological standpoint, the recession of these glaciers is huge, and will have a huge impact on the local communities who depend on the land for their economic well-being.
Are there specific things we can do — in addition to trying to reduce emissions — to help these natural systems and local communities become more resilient to the impacts of climate change?
Barry Baker:
The biggest thing we can do is educate. My personal opinion is that we have become separate from nature in the West and we don't understand what our daily impacts have on nature. We really need to take a good, long look at how we're using natural resources, and take our own personal action to make changes happen. It's up to us, as people from a developed nation, to set an example.
China has been characterized by some analysts as not being environmentally friendly. What's your view?
Barry Baker:
I've been coming to China since 1981. What I see here is encouraging: China recognizes that they cannot grow as a country the way the United States has grown. They realize their growth needs to be sustainable, and I hear more and more of this from the Chinese government.
I see a 1960s U.S. mentality in China now — a growing environmentalism that includes more recycling bins, solar panels and wind power. If you look down from a high building you'll see many roofs with solar panels. China has the potential to be a leader in the world for sustainable growth. Megan Sheehan is a marketing specialist with The Nature Conservancy. Let us know what you think of this story.

The truth about the new attack on MD5 signatures
Posted by Chenxi Wang on February 10, 2009
- 445 Recommendations
- 2 comments
In December 2008, a group of researchers demonstrated a credible attack against MD5 signatures. Since then, Forrester received a number of client inquiries regarding the security strength of their MD5 certificates. There seems to be much confusion over what the attack is about and its actual consequences.
To properly understand the security consequence of this attack and the impact on certificates, we need to understand how the attack works. The researchers demonstrated a successful attack against the RapidSSL certificate authority, which uses MD5 signatures to sign certificate requests. This is how the attack worked: the researchers first got the RapidSSL CA to sign a particular certificate request, issued for a domain in their control. This request and the ensuing signature are completely legitimate. The researchers then demonstrated that they were able to create a second certificate bearing the same signature, for a separate made-up entity. In essence, they were able to find two certificates with the same valid signature. In cryptographic parlance, this is a hash "collision" attack.
How bad is this attack? It's important to understand that the researchers were able to create a collision attack for a "particular" original signature, namely a signature that is under the attacker's control. Not for "any" original signatures. If you have a MD5 valid RapidSSL certificate, the chances are good that no one will be able to create a fake certificate that has the same signature as yours. However, this attack put forth an increased risk of encountering fake MD5 certificates on the Internet.
VeriSign, the owner of RapidSSL CA, has stopped using MD5 signatures altogether by the end of January 2009. VeriSign is moving to SHA-1 signatures, which is the current standard. Although SHA-1 has also been found to be vulnerable to collision attacks*, finding a collision with SHA-1 requires much more computational power and therefore it is safe to assume that SHA-1 is more secure than MD5. Again, if you currently have a valid MD5 certificate, there is no need to panic and no need to upgrade right now. You can simply let your certificate expire at the end of its lifetime and then move to a SHA-1 certificate.
What is the long term consequence? It's likely that even SHA-1 will be broken by ordinary means some day, as computational resources become cheaper every day. We at Forrester will do our best to bring you the latest in terms of new attacks and threats. But as an organization that conducts secure business online, you should remain aware of advances in cryptographic technologies and new crytoanalysis methods.
*Two papers detailed the attack on SHA-1 algorithm were presented at Crypto 2005 rump session: "Efficient Collision Search Attacks on SHA-0" and "Finding Collisions in the Full SHA-1Collision Search Attacks on SHA1" by XiaoYun Wang.

Wonder what are the chances of this attack being actually exploited. From what I read, this attach could be pulled off due to certain flaws in the process. If these flaws are addressed, it makes it more difficult to break.
re: The truth about the new attack on MD5 signatures
Comment from Chenxi Wang on Wed, 03/11/2009 - 22:44
The actual chance of the attack happening in the wild is not zero, but pretty slim, especially now that VeriSign has taken down the RapidSSL service. This is a vulnerability in the crypto algorithm, not something a process can fix (or the lack of it can trigger). Again, existing RapidSSL signatures should be safe, the only thing that may worry you is newly created ones.

Green groups say Canada lags on marine protection
By Allan Dowd
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A coalition of environmental groups warned on Friday that Canada is failing to meet its commitments to protect oceans and falling behind efforts being made by the United States and Australia.
Canada has laws that allow it to set up sufficient marine protection areas off its Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic coasts, but has not followed through with management plans needed to meet its international promises, the groups said.
"We have the how (to do it), but not the what to do, where or when," said Colin Campbell, a marine specialist at the Sierra Club of British Columbia.
Canada, which has the world's longest coastline, agreed in the 1990s to join in creating a worldwide network of ocean areas by 2012 that would be protected from development such as drilling, mining and bottom-trawling fishing.
It has designated seven offshore marine protected areas; including the Gully, a deep canyon in the Atlantic Ocean off Nova Scotia, and the Endeavor Hydrothermal Vents in an volcanic area in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of British Columbia.
Four sites are close to designation and six others being looked at, according Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
Ottawa agrees on the need to protect marine areas, a government official said, but it is also taking other measures to protect the oceans, such as limiting fishing at different times of the year.
"There are different ways of addressing problems ... you don't use a hammer to screw in a screw," said Camille Mageau, director of the fisheries department's oceans policy and planning branch. Continued...

I don't really want to waste any time researching about this because I fucking hate them and want as little as possible to do with this entire industry.
Definitely not anything Apple. I abolutely don't want to deal with any headaches of doing funny OS flashes or anything nonstandard that will complicate my life.
I'm thinking Google Nexus 5 because I understand it's the most minimal pure android ; I hate dealing with bloatware. I've already spent more time on this than I would like to. I actually prefer something smaller and lighter since I will only use it in emergencies. Galaxy S5 Mini? Not actually significantly smaller. Jesus christ.
It looks like "Straight Talk" is probably the right plan option for someone like me who will rarely use it. (?). I can't use anything T-Mobile because their coverage sucks around Seattle. Too bad because they seem to have the best pay-go plans.
One thing I have no idea about is how much bandwidth I need and whether paying per byte is okay or if I'll be fucked. If I accidentally browse to some web page that spews data at me, will that cost me a fortune? I don't like the idea of having to worry about that.

: price of a trim!
I go to a Deva stylist and she raised her prices. I just can't afford this! And she's only trimming the very ends. Yes, she does a very nice job and I'm happy with it but I can't afford these prices anymore.
I called a place that said they cut curly hair and I told them, "that's what most places say and they really don't know how." She said she has naturally curly hair that is layered also and she's very happy with her cut. So, I'm going to stop in and see her and speak with her. I won't need another trim for a while. I asked her if she used scissors or a razor and she said to me, "do you want a razor used??" And I said, "no." She said, "oh, good because I wouldn't suggest it - I use scissors." I know it won't be like a deva cut but I just can't afford the 75.00 every couple of months. My hair grows so fast. I would be happy with a decent trim as long as I don't get a pyramid head or some other horrible look
Natural hair color - dark brunette
Fine, thinish hair/3a, 3b

Re: WWE: The Evolution Of Greed
I've been really shit in keeping up with threads lately. I sadly had some really bad news in my family that meant I had no really interest in anything to do with BTB the last few weeks. So, I apologize for not returning feedback. Hopefully next week I can get back into that, especially with you two cp and Stojy. But yeah, for now, here's a preview...
~Monday Night Raw~
April 9th, 2007
Hampton Coliseum
Hampton, VA
Last week, Mr. McMahon thought hed found a way to get one over on the combined forces of Rob Van Dam and John Cena only for last weeks main event to take a rather unexpected Caribbean twist.
Last weeks main event Mr. McMahon pitted newly crowned WWE Champion Rob Van Dam and John Cena against Bobby Lashley and the Intercontinental Champion, Kenny Dykstra. Earlier in the night, Cena had challenged Van Dam to a match for the WWE Championship, only for McMahon to provide a previously signed contract that RVD and Cena signed, prohibiting a match between the two. In the main event, Dykstra appeared to have the match won, but before he could put Van Dam away, Carlito shocked the entire arena by making an unadvertised appearance, chasing Dykstra into the crowd, leaving Lashley along to suffer defeat. This week, McMahon looks to extract a measure of revenge as he places Carlito in a match against Lashley. While Lashley and Carlito will have their minds set on each other, no doubt Van Dam, Cena and Dykstra will be involved with each other during the broadcast, with McMahon watching it all unfold.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels have been on a collision course for months now, and despite tangling at WrestleMania, the pair seem destined to finally end their feud sooner rather than later. And last week, Triple H decided Backlash would be the place as he challenged Michaels to a No Holds Barred Match. There was no mincing of words from The Game as he clearly laid the challenge down to Michaels, but the only response from The Heartbreak Kid was a simple nod of the hat before he walked backstage, not uttering a word. As a stunned Triple H watched Michaels leave, the world wondered the same thing as The Game would Michaels accept his challenge? And the big question tonight as Raw rolls into the Hampton Coliseum is what will Michaels answer be?
Having spent weeks demanding better competition, The Worlds Greatest Tag Team were watching on last week as Raw played host to a pair of tag team matches, with The Hart Legacy and The straight Edge Saints picking up wins over The Redneck Wrecking Crew and Chris Masters and Johnny Nitro respectively. Tonight, Haas and Benjamins next challengers will be determined as new number one contenders to the World Tag Team Championships will be crowd in a Fatal Four Way Match. All four teams know this is a major chance to establish themselves as major names on Raw, but after their victories last week, The Saints and The Harts have to be considered favourites for this one.
Elsewhere, Mickie James meets one of the women who attacked her last week as she goes for revenge against Victoria, a match Beth Phoenix is sure to be watching. Randy Ortons assault of Jeff Hardy last week with the Money in the Bank briefcase sent shockwaves throughout Raw, and no doubt the fallout of that assault will be felt tonight with both Orton and Hardy set to be in attendance, and well see more from the latest Raw acquisition, the European aristocrat, Claudio Cesaro.
All this and more, live tonight, on Monday Night Raw!
Confirmed Matches:
Bobby Lashley vs. Carlito
What will Shawn Michaels response to Triple Hs challenge be?
Chris Masters and Johnny Nitro vs. The Hart Legacy vs. The Redneck Wrecking Crew vs. The Straight Edge Saints
Mickie James vs. Victoria
Plus! Rob Van Dam, John Cena, Kenny Dykstra and Randy Orton will all be in attendance.

At the onset of World War II, the territory of Alaska was seen as too big, too remote, and too sparsely populated to defend. That is, until it was attacked by Japanese forces.
In response, a few thousand residents came together to form the Alaska Territorial Guard. Once the war was over, the guard disbanded, and those who served went back to their daily lives.
But they were never formally released from duty. Decades later, these guardsmen are now finally getting their discharge papers.
When Dennis Egan opened up some official looking mail before heading into work last week, he wasn't expecting to find his late father's discharge papers.
"It was this formal U.S. government, and I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, I've been summoned to jury duty,'" Egan says. "So, I open this box, and there it is. And I just broke down, in fact, I didn't even come in."
Egan, a state senator who represents Juneau, knew that his dad Bill was part of the Alaska Territorial Guard. Before serving as delegate to the constitutional convention and then as the state's first governor, Bill Egan had flown planes during World War II. He even earned a medal for making it through a kamikaze attack. Dennis figured his dad had been released from service when the war ended, and that the papers had just been lost back in 1964.
"I didn't have a clue," he says. "I thought all this was just destroyed in the earthquake in their home in Valdez."
Bill Egan isn't the only member of the territorial guard not to have his discharge papers. He's one of 6,000. After the war, the guardsmen were thanked for their help with the war effort, but there was no formal paperwork documenting that their service had come to an end.
"They were busy," Dennis Egan says. "They weren't worried about – they were trying to protect us. They weren't too worried about fancy medals and crap back then. And things were just overlooked."
Back in 2000, Congress passed a bill to rectify that. It requires the Secretary of Defense to issue discharges to everyone who had served in the Territorial Guard. Those papers let living guardsmen apply for benefits available to every other veteran of World War II, and they also carry a lot of emotional significance for family members of guardsmen who have already passed.
Verdie Bowen directs the Alaska Office of Veterans Affairs, and he's in charge of the effort. With so much time since the war, it's been tough tracking down every member of the guard. He says that often, relatives of deceased guardsmen don't even realize their family members served.
That hit home at one ceremony he was involved in last year.
"What caught me off guard was the crew chief, who was on the Black Hawk helicopter that is currently serving the Alaska National Guard, stood there and did not realize that his grandfather had served in the Alaska Territorial Guard," Bowen says. "He didn't know we were presenting that medal to his grandfather when we flew in."
Brown says the Territorial Guard was critical to the war effort, and that there's no reason to treat them differently from veterans in other states. They came from a hundred different communities, stretching from Ketchikan to Barrow, and they served without pay.

Dennis Egan wishes he knew more about that history and his father's time in the Territorial Guard. Bill died in 1984, and he didn't really talk much about the war when he was alive. That's part of why it was only this year that Dennis learned his dad had never been discharged.
He says that even though it's been so long since the war and so long since his father passed, he's glad to have these papers now and thankful for the connection.
"I had an enormous sense of relief. An enormous sense of closure," Egan says.

I believe those AA-batteries are Energizer "Lithium" kinds, and not ordinary alkalines.
I'm not quite sure about the difference, but they are supposed to be operating without problem down to -40 celsius. They are also slightly lighter than ordinary AAs, and have 3000mAh capacity.
No public wish lists :(

Leinster hang on to beat Bristol
Leinster 29-23 Bristol
Leinster seemed to be heading for a landslide victory against Heineken Cup debutants Bristol at Donnybrook.
But in the end they were forced to hang on for victory against a spirited Bristol outfit.
The Irish province, who have an awesome home record in the competition, were in command in difficult wet conditions until Bristol launched a late comeback.
They may have been expected to win against the Shoguns, but the result will still come as a relief to coach Matt Williams after this season's Celtic League failure.
Williams had regularly been without first team players because of Ireland's early-season internationals.
But it was a strong Leinster line-up which eventually edged it.
The joint second cup favourites were always in front from the moment scrum-half Brian O'Meara kicked his first penalty on five minutes.
O'Meara went on to kick two more penalties, with fly-half Felipe Contepomi replying with two for Bristol, before Leinster scored their first try.
Denis Hickie raced over after a sweeping Leinster move out to the left flank and, with O'Meara converting, it gave the Irish outfit a 16-6 lead.
O'Meara and Contepomi exchanged further penalties before Leinster got their second try four minutes after the break.
Late pressure
Number eight Victor Costello charged through a gap in the Bristol defence and O'Meara again added the two points to leave Bristol trailing 26-9.
The game lost momentum for a spell but Bristol began to look menacing in the back line and they got their reward when Daryl Gibson produced a try with 13 minutes left.
With Contepomi landing the conversion, it brought Bristol to within 10 points.
Gordon D'Arcy landed a try for Leinster but Bristol piled on some late pressure to suddenly close the gap to six points.
Contepomi went in for a try under the posts and added the simple conversion to leave it 29-23.
However, Leinster held on for the win they so desperately needed.
Leinster: Dempsey, D. Hickie, O'Driscoll, Horgan, Darcy, Warner, O'Meara, Corrigan, S. Byrne, Wallace, Cullen, O'Kelly, McCullen, Gleeson, Costello.
Bristol: Drahm, Rees, Shaw, Gibson, Christophers, Contepomi, Pichot, Crompton, Nelson, E. Bergamaschi, Archer, A. Brown, Short, Lipman, Sturnham.
Referee: Andy Ireland (SRU).

Bill Radke: When General Motors said yesterday it made more than a billion dollars from April to June, the company added a surprise announcement: CEO Ed Whitacre is leaving GM just as it prepares for what might be the biggest public stock offering in U.S. history. Marketplace's Jeff Horwich explains the move.
Jeff Horwich: Whitacre has been the face of GM through a major turn-around, from bankruptcy and government bailout to more than $2 billion in profits so far this year. But he made clear he didn't plan to be GM's leader for the long haul -- he never even moved from San Antonio to Detroit. With a critical stock offering coming up, GM's board reportedly decided to put its long-term face forward.
That's Daniel Akerson, a telecom industry veteran put on GM's board by the U.S. government, which owns about two-thirds of the company. He's known as quiet, but also fierce and decisive -- with a taste for dramatic change. Dave Cole of the Center for Automotive Research says that's in line with the cultural change at GM since its bankruptcy.
Dave Cole: The game has changed absolutely dramatically. It's a 180-degree shift that in many respects is absolutely amazing.
Akerson takes over in September. The change could delay GM's stock offering -- that might not please the Obama administration, which is pushing to recoup its $50 billion investment in the company.
I'm Jeff Horwich for Marketplace.

1996 Ford Ranger Questions
Get answers to questions about your 1996 Ford Ranger at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
my engine was running good until the timing belt broke, the belt has been replaced but engine will not start .
Usually happens after turning a corner. Brake light sometimes also come on briefly.
Doing complete clutch replacement. My dads ranger was slated for California and has the bigger spicer drivetrain w/ 4.10 gears. Noticed there are different bore sizes for slave cylinder. Can anyone please tell me what slave cylinder I will need for this replacement. Thank you!
when engine starts get a beeping sound 3 or 4 times and stops. what can the problem be?
When I crank my truck it will beep 25 times in increments of 5. It will make the same noise if the truck has been running for 45 minutes. Why?
I was at a store and when i left it felt like my back right tire was flat so I oulled over and put in in park, I got out and checked it and it wasnt it, I kept driving and the whole back side was shaking like if i had a flat tire, I came to a stop sign and after I crossed the street It sounded like the tire blowed out, I put it in park again and ckecked the tire and it was fine So i went to drive and I put it in gear and the RPM was going up but the truck wouldnt move. it bearly moved on 5/6 RMPS, What would it be?
The filler hose neck is dry rotted. I was told one is around 200 and the labor about a hundred. The fuel tank indicated is out as well. Not sure on the cost.Is there a cheaper way to fix. I Google it and found a website with hoses a lot less expensive....
No matter what temperature I set it on, it will only blow hot & cold air. It is winter time so I'm assuming thsts just the air from outside. Even when I put the switch on only vents or only defrost, it still comes out of the floor. Help!!!
I was having problems with my clutch, when you stepped on the peddle it made a grinding noise and was very hard to get it in gear. So I bought a new clutch kit plus a new slave cylinder and replaced them. Everything worked great the first 2 times I drove the truck, but the next time I drove it I started having problems. When I would step on the clutch sometimes there would be a rubbing/ grinding noise and when I shifted into the next gear it would grind a little bit on the way in. So I brought it back in the garage and completely bled the clutch. The next time I drove it everything worked great, the peddle felt perfect, for the first 5 times I ran through the gears. Then the old problem started again, with the rubbing noise when I stepped on the peddle and a little grinding when I go into gear. I am not sure what it could be, the only thing I didn't replace was the pilot bearing and I don't know for sure if that is the problem. Im looking for any ideas I can get before I pull the transmission back out. please help!
I was still having problems after I replaced the clutch and slave cylinder in my ranger. sometimes there was a grinding noise when I stepped on the clutch and it would grind a little going into gear. you suggest that I bleed the system before doing anything else, I just bled it and it didn't seem to have any air in the lines. I took it for a ride and its still doing the same thing. Is it safe to say its prob the pilot bearing? or is there somewhere else I should be looking?
I just replaced the clutch in my ranger, I replaced the main clutch componets pressure plate and etc, and the slave cylinder. Everything went smooth and the clutch was working great, but it was my first time installing a clutch and I got so caught up in making sure I installed that right that I completely forgot to replace the pilot bearing. My clutch working great for the first couple miles but now I am starting to hear some rubbing when I step on the clutch and occasionally it grinds a little going into 3rd and fourth gear. I am just wondering if I should start looking at other things, or is did I screw up and the pilot bearing is most likely the problem. I king of think that is the problem but would love a second opinion.
what kind of transmission fluid goes into my 4 cyl 2 wheel drive manual transmission? was told mercon v atf tranny fluid, but wanted to make sure.

Will the ability to record and send voice messages become a central feature of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumored iWatch? UBS analyst Steven Milunovich recently participated in a private analyst meeting with Tim Cook in which the Apple CEO expressed an interest in voice-messaging apps that allow users to dictate and send voice messages, as opposed to typing text messages.
"When we visited with Tim Cook, he said that walking down streets in China one sees people speaking into their phones sending voice rather than text messages," wrote Milunovich in a note obtained by Investor's Business Daily. "Porting this capability to the watch makes sense as it is easier to send a voice message from a device already on the wrist than pulling out a phone. It also could aid penetration of China, which Cook said has a ways to go."
While Apple's iOS 7 does not currently offer voice messaging via a native app, iPhone users can dictate and send voice messages through various third-party apps available in the App Store. However, voice messaging will be a built-in option in iOS 8, which will be publicly released this fall. In iOS 8, the voice messaging feature is activated by tapping a microphone button to record a message and then swiping to send it. Milunovich speculated that a similar voice messaging feature could become a key feature on the iWatch, especially considering that typing a text message on a small watch-sized screen would be impractical.
The widespread use of voice messaging in China also makes it quite likely that any voice messaging capability would be extended to Apple's rumored wearable tech product. The Greater China region was Apple's fastest growing region according to the company's March quarter earnings report and is expected to surpass North America as the world's largest mobile phone market by revenue this year, according to Strategy Analytics executive director Neil Mawston. As a result, Apple has increasingly focused its attention on China over the past year. Last September, Apple included China in its initial iPhone launch event for the first time and Cook promised to "triple the number of Apple Retail Stores over the next two years" in the region during the company's March quarter earnings call earlier this year.

2 is definitely quince, probably an ornamental variety as I don't think the truly edible ones are red. Mine's a white one but has identical fruit right now. A while ago I asked on this forum if the fruits could be used for anything. I can't do links yet but if you search for 'quince' then look in the forum bit you should find the thread.
Good moaning from here too.
Sun out, eggs collected, dog delivered to vet for sedation and claw-cutting, half a crossword done, think it's time I did some proper chores.
I agree. When I grew them they were called Acidanthera but I knew they were related to gladdys. I think they're gorgeous and have a very distinctive scent but they only lasted a couple of years for me..
Did you have single canes or what? I use bamboo for most things, even runner beans, but fix three together at the top so they stand like a tripod. For a row of beans, I make two tripods and fix a can from the top of one to the top of the other.
Well, Geoff, at least they've got grownups playing and don't have to field a team of babes in arms like poor old Pompey.
Oooh, thanks, Kate :- ) It's years since I had one of those.
My internet is creeping along at a snail's pace just now. I'm throwing in the towel and going to find that toffee apple.

Have you found that, while it's all too easy to buy lots of handbags, it's not always simple to buy ones you'll want to use often? If so, then this buying guide is for you. Use our Visual Guide to Handbags to identify the bags that are your style, and then read about how to buy bags that will fit your lifestyle.
Tote bags and shoppers: When you need to bring along many of your belongings, tote bags and shoppers are the best bags for you, as they often have a larger capacity than other handbags and a heavy-duty design. Tote bags and shoppers are available in several types of materials, often in canvas twill and leather, and usually have a square or rectangular shape. Some are open, while others have handy storage compartments for keys, cell phones, water bottles, and anything else you may need. They always have some sort of handle, and occasionally, the handles are long enough to use as a shoulder strap.
Hobo bags: The slouchy shape that distinguishes hobo bags makes them perfect weekend bags. A hobo bag has a bohemian feeling that is youthful and casual. The strap is long enough to wear over your shoulder, and the loose shape is body-hugging and flattering. Hobos are usually large enough to use as your day-to-day bag, and you can look for one made of high-quality leather if you want it to look less casual.
Clutches and evening bags: Evening bags and clutches are the bags you'll want for a special night out. With lovely details like beads and sequins and fine fabrics like metallics and satins, evening bags will complement your formal wear perfectly. Evening bags are clutches when they have no strap and you hold -- or "clutch" -- them in your hand, and they are wristlets when they have a strap just long enough to hang over your wrist. If your evening bag has a handle, you can tuck it inside to transform it into a clutch bag; clutch bags can also be used as wallets inside larger bags during the day. Choose between soft leather handbags or handbags with structured metal frames, depending on how formal your eveningwear is.
Crossbody bags: A strap that is long enough to let you wear this bag across your body is the main factor distinguishing crossbody bags from other bags. Beyond the strap, the style can vary from petite and elegant to oversized and functional. Look for a chain strap if you want something dressy.
Shoulder bags: Perfect for everyday use, shoulder bags are the workhorses of a handbag wardrobe because they have straps long enough to go over your shoulder, thus freeing up your hands. Shoulder bags are often adjustable and can be worn against your hips or waist; many also have outside pockets and interior slots for organization. Shoulder bags are available in many different styles, from functional leather bags to luxurious designer handbags. With a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, closures, and designs, there's sure to be a shoulder bag that you'll love to bring with you.
Satchels: With their wide, flat interiors and double handles, satchels have a classic, ladylike look that's a bit reminiscent of a doctor's bag. They have handles that are short enough to hold it in your hands, but they often come with a shoulder strap, too. Use these structured purses to carry day-to-day necessities. When you need a hand, satchel bags easily rest in the crook of your arm; if you pull the short straps over your shoulder, your satchel tucks into your underarm.
Bucket bags: With an unstructured, casual look, bucket bags are a good addition to your handbag wardrobe if you need something for weekends and summer vacations. The simple bucket shape and the drawstring top makes it's a simple look that's never fussy. Bucket bags come in a variety of sizes, and some even have backpack straps, while most have a shoulder strap. Fabric bucket bags are relaxed to the max, while a leather bucket bag with a leather cord takes the look up a notch.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
i live in new mexico my girlfriend is renting a house from her former boyfriends father. The ex boyfriend and my girlfriend broke up but the father let my girlfriend stay living there with a child with no rental agreement/lease . My girlfriend has won the cusody battle now the father (owner of house) is mad and wants her to sign a rental agreement/lease this sunday . She doesnt want to do this, and we are freaked out that he will throw her out of the house come sunday if she doesnt sign it. We are looking for a new place to live and we need a little bit of time to get into a new place. She has ALWAYS been on time with rent. Does the owner need to give 30 days notice for her to move out or can he just thow her and the kid out? and if he does need to what state code does that fall under? keep in mind there is no rental agreement or lease PLEASE HELP
As long as she has been paying rent she is a month to month tenant and must be given at least 30 days written notice of termination and it must be for the full rental period. So if he gives her notice today the move out date would be July 31 if her normal rental date is the 1st of the month.
Here's the NM landlord tenant statute.
Look for 47-8-37 Notice of termination.
Read the rest of the statute, too. And print it out and keep it as your bible no matter where you rent.
And if she has any problems with the guy, make sure she puts everything in writing and quote the statute so the LL knows that she knows what she's talking about.
Suggestions from a distant LL:
How frequently does she now pay rent? Monthly? Weekly? Matters a lot as to required notice.
A LL is supposed to follow due process before a tenant gets tossed --read up as to AZ!
Yes there is a lease--an oral lease! At least until some court hold otherwise, which I doubt will happen given that she paid and he accepted rent. .
Now if somebody told me I must sign a lease I'd be very polite but keep my yap shut except to be nice and look at lease and tell them I need to review the terms and I'll get back to them. I'd not be nasty and I would NOT comment to LL as to my view of facts or law.
If LL hands me a lease but no notice he has already dropped one ball--but do NOT educate him.
Were I the LL for sure I'd want a written agreement to protect me--but that doesn't mean I'll get it!

You must scroll down to number five on the list of top "trofeos" awarded at this year's Villa d'Est Concorso d'Eleganza before coming across a car other than the rare and remarkable Bugatti 57SC Atlantic Coupe.
Fashion icon Ralph Lauren's Atlantic Coupe – one of only three built, and worth more than $30-million – was awarded the Best in Show Trofeo BMW Group by the judging panel, at the event held recently at the upper-crust caravansary on the shores of Italy's Lake Como. It was also the attendees' choice for best in show Coppa d'Oro Ville d'Este, Trofeo BMW Group Itala and Trofeo BMW Group Ragazzi.
The Villa d'Est Concorso d'Eleganza was first staged in 1929 and re-emerged after the Second World War, only to fade away in 1949. It was revived briefly in the mid-1990s, faltered again, and was saved by BMW in 1999, accelerating over the following 14 years to become one of the world's premier concours events, and attract some of the finest classic cars, from collections such as Lauren's.
Lauren, who was born in New York in 1939 to a Polish immigrant family named Lifschitz (which he changed at 15), began his fashion career making neckties, and opened his first store in 1967, selling ties under the Polo label. From there, it was a fast and furious drive to a Polo boutique on Rodeo Drive in the early 1970s. And then a rapid cruise to the creation of an empire that, in recent years, has recorded annual sales of $5-billion.
Keen on cars since he was a little Lifschitz, Lauren told a Vanity Fair writer visiting his "D.A.D. Garage" cum private museum in Westchester County, N.Y., that he doesn't collect art, "because you can't drive art. I drive these cars, they don't just sit here." His collection of 70 or so ranges from classics, such as the Bugatti Atlantic, to its modern supercar incarnation, the Veyron. All are kept in concours-winning and perfect mechanical condition.
Which must make taking the Atlantic out for a quick squirt on Westchester County's twisties as thrilling for Lauren today as it was for the exclusive handful of people who experienced the car in its period prime.
American auto writer Ken Purdy quotes an English "Bugattiste," in his 1949 book, The Kings of the Road: "I had a trial run up the Barnet bypass with Williams, the Bugatti works demonstrator, who had brought over a Type 57 elektron coupe 'Atlantic.' It was simply terrific: 112 mph still accelerating over the crossroads past the Barn – and the roads cluttered up with the usual Friday evening traffic. Along the next stretch we did 122 mph, and I thought, under the circumstances, that was enough, and said so in no uncertain terms."
Those were astonishing speeds, even on a race track, never mind busy British public roads, in the 1930s. But the Atlantic was an astonishing car, even by Bugatti standards.
Italian-born Ettore Bugatti began his career designing engines and vehicles in the late 1890s for a number of companies, before establishing Automobiles E. Bugatti in Molsheim, in France's Alsace area in 1909. And between then and the outbreak of war in 1939, "Le Patron" built about 7,800 racers, sports and touring cars, and one of the most extravagant luxury cars the world has ever seen, the Royale.
Each was "utterly individualistic, and thoroughbred to the core," according to Purdy. And that's a good description of Lauren's Type 57SC Atlantic.
The Type 57 was conceived by Bugatti's son Jean, by then running the company, and announced in 1934. It was to prove the last series-produced model built prior to the Second World War. The all-new design would go on to serve as a luxury tourer and sports car, the ultimate expression of which was the Atlantic Coupe, and its engine would power the Type 59 Grand Prix racer.
Jean Bugatti may have been signing the paycheques, but dad was still influencing his decisions, which led to the Type 57 being a mix of increasingly dated Bugatti-traditional engineering, and in the Atlantic's case early-days aero-styling.
The former was evident in its increasingly out-of-fashion inline-eight – a 3.3-litre, twin-cam that gave 135 hp and a top speed of 95 mph – mechanically operated brakes and increasingly archaic beam-type front axle.
The Type 57 was originally available with two- and four-door bodywork designed by Jean Bugatti, joined in 1935 by the more avant garde Atalanta coupe – named for a fleet-footed Greek goddess. Within a couple of years, the supercharged, 170-hp, 57C model was added, and the 57S sports model, the prototype/inspiration for the Atlantic, delightfully named the Aerolithe, debuted in 1935, clad in super-swoopy bodywork made of elektron (a magnesium alloy). This highly flammable metal had to be held together with rivets, accounting for its unusual rad-cap-to-tapered-tail dorsal seam.
The Aerolithe disappeared – it was likely broken up – but has reappeared as a recreation, conjured up by David Grainger and his team at The Guild of Automotive Restorers in Bradford, Ont.
The aluminum-bodied production version Atlantic Coupe was shown at the Paris show a year later, but only three would subsequently be built.
The first went to London-based, 26-year-old Lord Rothschild, who would have paid about £1,100 for it. It was sold at auction recently, for a reported $36-million, to the Mullin Museum in California.
The second was hit by a train, killing its occupants, and subsequently recreated using surviving parts.
The third was purchased in 1938 by British colliery boss Richard Pope, and eventually found its way into Lauren's hands in 1988. After restoration, it won best in show honours at the Pebble Beach concours in 2000.
Perhaps he'll give it an airing in another decade and cop another Coppa d'Oro.

OSMnx can now download street network elevation data for anywhere in the world. In one line of code it downloads the elevation in meters of each network node, and in one more line of code it can calculate every street (ie, edge) grade. Here is the complete street network of San Francisco, California, with nodes colored according to their elevation:

Urban Form Analysis with OpenStreetMap Data
This is a summary of some of my recent research on making OpenStreetMap data analysis easy for urban planners. It was also published on the ACSP blog.
OpenStreetMap – a collaborative worldwide mapping project inspired by Wikipedia – has emerged in recent years as a major player both for mapping and acquiring urban spatial data. Though coverage varies somewhat worldwide, its data are of high quality and compare favorably to CIA World Factbook estimates and US Census TIGER/Line data. OpenStreetMap imported the TIGER/Line roads in 2007 and since then its community has made numerous corrections and improvements. In fact, many of these additions go beyond TIGER/Line's scope, including for example passageways between buildings, footpaths through parks, bike routes, and detailed feature attributes such as finer-grained street classifiers, speed limits, etc.
This presents a fantastic data source to help answer urban planning questions, but OpenStreetMap's data has been somewhat difficult to work with due to its Byzantine query language and coarse-grained bulk extracts provided by third parties. As part of my dissertation, I developed a tool called OSMnx that allows researchers to download street networks and building footprints for any city name, address, or polygon in the world, then analyze and visualize them. OSMnx democratizes these data and methods to help technical and non-technical planners and researchers use OpenStreetMap data to study urban form, circulation networks, accessibility, and resilience.
Continue reading Urban Form Analysis with OpenStreetMap Data
Urban Form Figure-Ground Diagrams
I previously demonstrated how to create figure-ground square-mile visualizations of urban street networks with OSMnx to consistently compare city patterns, design paradigms, and connectivity. OSMnx downloads, analyzes, and visualizes street networks from OpenStreetMap but it can also get building footprints. If we mash-up these building footprints with the street networks, we get a fascinating comparative window into urban form:
Square-Mile Street Network Visualization
The heart of Allan Jacobs' classic book on street-level urban form and design, Great Streets, features dozens of hand-drawn figure-ground diagrams in the style of Nolli maps. Each depicts one square mile of a city's street network. Drawing these cities at the same scale provides a revealing spatial objectivity in visually comparing their street networks and urban forms.
We can recreate these visualizations automatically with Python and the OSMnx package, which I developed as part of my dissertation. With OSMnx we can download a street network from OpenStreetMap for anywhere in the world in just one line of code. Here are the square-mile diagrams of Portland, San Francisco, Irvine, and Rome created and plotted automatically by OSMnx:
Animating the Lorenz Attractor with Python
Edward Lorenz, the father of chaos theory, once described chaos as "when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future."
Lorenz first discovered chaos by accident while developing a simple mathematical model of atmospheric convection, using three ordinary differential equations. He found that nearly indistinguishable initial conditions could produce completely divergent outcomes, rendering weather prediction impossible beyond a time horizon of about a fortnight.
OSMnx: Python for Street Networks
OSMnx is a Python package for downloading administrative boundary shapes and street networks from OpenStreetMap. It allows you to easily construct, project, visualize, and analyze complex street networks in Python with NetworkX. You can get a city's or neighborhood's walking, driving, or biking network with a single line of Python code. Then you can simply visualize cul-de-sacs or one-way streets, plot shortest-path routes, or calculate stats like intersection density, average node connectivity, or betweenness centrality. You can download/cite the paper here.
In a single line of code, OSMnx lets you download, construct, and visualize the street network for, say, Modena Italy:
import osmnx as ox ox.plot_graph(ox.graph_from_place('Modena, Italy'))
R-tree Spatial Indexing with Python
A spatial index such as R-tree can drastically speed up GIS operations like intersections and joins. Spatial indices are key features of spatial databases like PostGIS, but they're also available for DIY coding in Python. I'll introduce how R-trees work and how to use them in Python and its geopandas library. All of my code is in this notebook in this urban data science GitHub repo.
Craigslist and U.S. Rental Housing Markets
This is a summary of our JPER journal article (available here) about Craigslist rental listings' insights into U.S. housing markets.
Rentals make up a significant portion of the U.S. housing market, but much of this market activity is poorly understood due to its informal characteristics and historically minimal data trail. The UC Berkeley Urban Analytics Lab collected, validated, and analyzed 11 million Craigslist rental listings to discover fine-grained patterns across metropolitan housing markets in the United States. I'll summarize our findings below and explain the methodology at the bottom.
But first, 4 key takeaways:
- There are incredibly few rental units below fair market rent in the hottest housing markets. Some metro areas like New York and Boston have only single-digit percentages of Craigslist rental listings below fair market rent. That's really low.
- This problem doesn't exclusively affect the poor: the share of its income that the typical household would spend on the typical rent in cities like New York and San Francisco exceeds the threshold for "rent burden."
- Rents are more "compressed" in soft markets. For example, in Detroit, most of the listed units are concentrated within a very narrow band of rent/ft² values, but in San Francisco rents are much more dispersed. Housing vouchers may end up working very differently in high-cost vs low-cost areas.
- Craigslist listings correspond reasonably well with Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates, but provide up-to-date data including unit characteristics, from neighborhood to national scales. For example, we can see how rents are changing, neighborhood by neighborhood, in San Francisco in a given month.
How to Visualize Urban Accessibility and Walkability
Tools like WalkScore visualize how "walkable" a neighborhood is in terms of access to different amenities like parks, schools, or restaurants. It's easy to create accessibility visualizations like these ad hoc with Python and its pandana library. Pandana (pandas for network analysis – developed by Fletcher Foti during his dissertation research here at UC Berkeley) performs fast accessibility queries over a network. I'll demonstrate how to use it to visualize urban walkability. My code is in these IPython notebooks in this urban data science course GitHub repo.
First I give pandana a bounding box around Berkeley/Oakland in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. Then I load the street network and amenities from OpenStreetMap. In this example I'll look at accessibility to restaurants, bars, and schools. But, you can create any basket of amenities that you are interested in – basically visualizing a personalized "AnythingScore" instead of a generic WalkScore for everyone. Finally I calculate and plot the distance from each node in the network to the nearest amenity:

Urban Informatics and Visualization at UC Berkeley
The fall semester begins next week at UC Berkeley. For the third year in a row, Paul Waddell and I will be teaching CP255: Urban Informatics and Visualization.
This masters-level course trains students to analyze urban data, develop indicators, conduct spatial analyses, create data visualizations, and build interactive web maps. To do this, we use the Python programming language, open source analysis and visualization tools, and public data.
This course is designed to provide future city planners with a toolkit of technical skills for quantitative problem solving. We don't require any prior programming experience – we teach this from the ground up – but we do expect prior knowledge of basic statistics and GIS.
Our teaching materials, including IPython Notebooks, tutorials, and guides are available in this GitHub repo, updated as the semester progresses.

One indicator of the health of the local hotel industry can be seen on East Broadway in Missoula, at the Campus Inn, where management knocked out a few rooms to make space for a gourmet hot dog shop that's opening this week. "Tourism is down, room rentals are down, so right now, I think this is a great idea," the Campus Inn's Tom Dooley recently told KPAX.
Another indicator came last week in the form of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Missoula's 101-room Hawthorn Suites near the Missoula airport is struggling, and according to the local franchise's owner, Missoula businessman Thomas Poindexter, the business needs to renegotiate the interest rate on its loan to ensure solvency.
Poindexter says business has been "decent" since the hotel opened three years ago. "I don't think it's different than any other business in this economy," he says. "It's tough going and I think it is for a lot of people in town, whether you hear about it or not."
Missoula has 44 hotels with a total of about 3,100 rooms, according to the Missoula Convention and Visitors Bureau. A hotel construction boom began on North Reserve Street in 2006, with the completion of the Hilton Garden Inn. Since then, a Holiday Inn Express and a Staybridge Suites opened across the street, and the Hawthorn opened closer to the airport, near where a Wingate Inn opened in 2003. There's a proposal to build another hotel downtown, at the southwest corner of Orange and Front streets.
Has Missoula already overbuilt? "Possibly," Poindexter says.
Barb Neilan, director of the Missoula Convention and Visitors Bureau, doesn't think so. "I don't want to say that we've overbuilt," she says, "but it's taking time for the economy to roll back around to the levels of where we were before. And it's coming. ... I think our tourism season this year, from all indicators, is going to be good, even with the scare we had for a while on gas prices."
Poindexter points to a different issue: Missoula's "negative business climate." He doesn't offer specifics. He's hopeful he can work with his lender through the bankruptcy reorganization process to change the terms of the loan and stay in business. "We've survived and will continue to survive," he says. "It's just that it's not the business that it's really talked up to be."

Audi SQ5 coming to US with boosted 354hp 3.0T
Checkmate BMW
Looks like they upped the power from the S4 too
sq5 is just a horrible name for a performance SUV.
other than that, GREAT future for AUDI q5 buyers. Question is whether BMW needs to release an X3M? How many buyers would be up for that?
Too bad both audi and bmw do not offer manual transmission on the X M models and S Q (Audi)
That is definitely fast!
That being said, the Europe S-Q5 is a diesel, whereas the US one isn't :(
Wow, it is a nice package. I would also be interested to see the diesel version for the states. Perhaps there were to many hurdles with certification vs. the existing 3.0T which just requires a tune.
I'm thinking the pricing would be around $60-63k with very little room for negotiations. Perhaps BMW will release a M version. They seem to be following the AMG model for "M" everything.
Gorgeous, but no manual transmission. The first Audi or BMW SUV to offer a traditional 6-speed manual will capture sales from all of the people like me staying on the sidelines holding out for a manual. Maybe we'll see a BMW X1-M down the road...
The base Cayenne still comes with a manual 6 speed so there is still hope. I think the base 2WD Tiguan also still has a stick. A few of the Asian base entry Cute Utes also have sticks as well. Othwise you are SOL as the market share (as stated) decrees what will be offered -- and sell.:angel: Actually, Wally, an automatic is much easier to drive in the city with the hills and all.:thumbup:
I think the current X3 35i will give the SQ5 a run for its money in its current state. DINAN is currently working on a tune for the N55 engine in the F25 and F10 with the following specs:
Peak HP 355 horsepower at 5300 rpm
Peak Torque 401 lb-ft torque at 3500 rpm
Nothing to really be concerned about acceleration wise. I believe the handling of the X3 is already more dynamic. :dunno:
Decided to follow your lead (my X3 35i M Sport is on order) - good to see you're still kicikin' it! :)
With the F25 just make sure you build/order the way you want it - so no regrets later. Oh yeah its a bonafide sleeper;)
Cayenne vs. Cherokee SRT8 http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/t...rack-test.html
X3 2.8 vs. X3 35i http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/t...rack-test.html
With regards to the SQ5. It will be real interesting to see what it's cousin the Porsche Macan brings to the table.
Yes we do:thumbup: i'm 6'4 the front seats provide plenty of support - plus they feature adjustable side bolsters (haven't used) and adjustable thigh support (routinely use) which provide plenty of comfort. The caveat is the rear seating although accommodating for tall folks like ourselves, feature a low seat height. Primarily only Junior and his Recaro car seat are in the rear with the missus at the helm. I drive it often as well - coming from a full size/fully loaded QX56 the F25 X3 fits the current bill nicely. Patiently waiting to see what the F15 X5 introduces.
F25 X3 is surprisingly fleet footed, coupled with Xdrive and decent ground clearance...not a bad ride:) Plus the dash pod is "vaguely" reminiscent of what you became accustomed to in the F07 albeit nowhere near as luxurious - but nice all the same..
Nice stablemate for your E92 ///M3:thumbup::thumbup:

October 19, 2004
|Jillian Aldebron
Washington, DC: The independent presidential campaign of Ralph Nader and Peter Miguel Camejo is urging managers of Sinclair Broadcasting Group stations to defy the orders of CEO David Smith to broadcast a so-called "news commentary" on John Kerry just days before the election. A team of Nader/Camejo Corporate Crimebusters will deliver letters to this effect to 16 local station managers in 12 states on Wed., October 20th.
Smith's demand that local broadcasters pre-empt regular primetime programming with what is essentially ideology masquerading as information is a crass attempt to exploit control of the public airwaves to promote a private political agenda, and is a flagrant example of how our democracy is being swamped by the confluence of money, politics and concentrated media.
Sinclair Broadcasting Group has taken advantage of increasingly relaxed FCC regulations under the Bush administration to expand its media empire, and is now owner of the single largest group of television stations in the country, reaching an estimated 24 per cent of U.S. households. Sinclair executives have paid for this privilege with $65,000 in political contributions to Republican candidates since the beginning of 2004, and a total of $300,000 over the past decade, according to FEC filings.
The company's overt involvement in partisan politics is not new. Back in September 2001, Sinclair required affiliates to broadcast messages conveying their full support for the Bush administration. In July 2003, it refused to let stations air a DNC ad countering Bush's State of the Union contention that Saddam Hussein tried to buy uranium from Niger. It aired purportedly legitimate news stories that it was later revealed were actually written, produced, and paid for by the Bush administration. Last April, Sinclair ordered its ABC affiliates not to air Nightline's tribute to U.S soldiers killed in Iraq lest it quell public enthusiasm for the protracted occupation of that country.
Sinclair's attack on the democratic process, which relies on an informed electorate, is the most egregious example to date of the pressing need to reclaim our democracy from the accelerating grip of big-money politics and concentrated corporate media. This requires real campaign finance reform, which means public financing of public elections; some free access to ballot qualified candidates on television and radio; vigorous antitrust regulation and enforcement; ending broadcasters' free licensed use of the public airwaves; and the reversion of some organized time on our publicly owned airwaves to establish audience-controlled radio and TV networks to ensure the diversity of voices and solutions necessary for a really free press and a true civic democracy.
A team of Corporate Crimebusters will deliver letters to station managers at the following locations on October 20th:
Corporate Crimebusters is a Nader for President Campaign initiative that brings electoral politics back to the grassroots. Its 20 teams are spread out across 38 states to shine a spotlight on local issues and reach the silenced majority—those 50% of the electorate who do not bother to vote because they have been effectively disenfranchised by a duopolistic party system in the thrall of big corporate interests. It is time for people to take their government back from the big money controllers who call the shots for both major parties.

NH House approves gay marriage
The House has voted to make New Hampshire the third state allowing gays to marry two years after they granted them the right to enter into civil unions.
The House voted 186-179 to send the bill to the Senate. The first attempt to pass the bill fell one vote short, but opponents were unable to kill it. The House then reconsidered and passed the measure.
Two years ago, the Legislature approved civil unions for same sex couples, but some proponents of joining Connecticut and Massachusetts in allowing marriage said the time isn't right in New Hampshire.
