Interest NY Asian Film Fest to Screen Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
posted on 2012-05-09 21:00 EDT by Kimberly Grace
The organizers of the New York Asian Film Festival announced on Wednesday that they will screen Takashi Miike's live-action adaptation of Phoenix Wright:Ace Attorney. Choi Min-Sik, the star of the live-action film adaptation of the Oldboy manga, will be attending the festival as a guest, and the festival will also be screening his latest film Nameless. The 11th annual film festival will run from June 29 to July 15 at the Walter Reade Theater and Japan Society.
Miike's adaptation of CAPCOM's Ace Attorney videogame franchise takes place in a parallel Japan, where a large increase in harsh crimes has led to a new court system. Under this new system, the defense attorney and public prosecutor have three days to battle cases out in open court to determine guilt or innocence of the accused, placing priority on speed instead of thorough investigation.
The film opened in Japan on February 11. At its international premiere at International Film Festival Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Miike predicted that the film would be released worldwide. It played at the Hawaii International Film Festival last month, and it will play at California's AM2 convention next month.

Hashish(Redirected from Hashish oil)
Hashish, or hash, is a drug made from cannabis. It is consumed by smoking, typically in a pipe, vaporizer or joint, or oral ingestion. As pure hashish will not burn if rolled alone in a joint, it is typically mixed with herbal cannabis, tobacco or another type of herb for this method of consumption.[citation needed]

|Product name

Hash is an extracted cannabis product composed of compressed or purified preparations of stalked resin glands, called trichomes, from the plant. It contains ingredients such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other cannabinoids—but often in higher concentrations than the unsifted or unprocessed cannabis flower.[2]
Hashish may be solid or resinous depending on both preparation and room temperature; pressed hashish is usually solid, whereas water-purified hashish—often called "bubble melt hash"—is often a paste-like substance with varying hardness and pliability; its color, most commonly light to dark brown, can vary from transparent to yellow, tan, black or red. This all depends on the process and amount of solvent left over.[3]
The name comes from the Arabic word ( حشيش ) which means grass. It is believed that massive hashish production for international trade originated in Morocco during the 1960s, where the cannabis plant was widely available. Before the coming of the first hippies from the Hippie Hashish Trail, only small pieces of Lebanese hashish were found in Morocco.[4] However, hemp has been reported from a cultural setting on Taiwan as long ago as 10,000 BC., and "[t]he earliest human use of Cannabis appears to have occurred in the steppe regions of Central Asia or in China."[5]
Northern India has a long social tradition in the production of hashish, known locally as charas, which is believed to be the same plant resin as was burned in the ceremonial booz rooz of Ancient Persia.[6] Cannabis indica grows wild almost everywhere on the Indian sub-continent, and special strains have been particularly cultivated for production of ganja and hashish, especially in West Bengal, Rajasthan and the Himalayas.[citation needed]
In 1596, Dutchman Jan Huyghen van Linschoten spent three pages on "Bangue" (bhang) in his historic work documenting his journeys in the East. He particularly mentioned the Egyptian Hashish.[7] He said, "Bangue is likewise much used in Turkie and Egypt, and is made in three sorts, having also three names. The first by the Egyptians is called Assis (Hashish (Arab.)), which is the poulder of Hemp, or of Hemp leaves, which is water made in paste or dough, they would eat five peeces, (each) as big as a Chestnut (or larger); This is used by the common people, because it is of a small price, and it is no wonder, that such vertue proceedeth from the Hempe, for that according to Galens opinion, Hempe excessively filleth the head."
In the 1800s, hashish was embraced in some European literary circles. Most famously, the Club des Hashischins was a Parisian club dedicated to the consumption of hashish and other drugs; its members included literary luminaries such as Théophile Gautier Dr. Moreau 'de Tours, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Charles Baudelaire and Honoré de Balzac.[8] Baudelaire later wrote the 1860 book Les paradis artificiels, about the state of being under the influence of opium and hashish. At around the same time, American author Fitz Hugh Ludlow wrote the 1857 book The Hasheesh Eater about his youthful experiences, both positive and negative, with the drug.
Hashish can be consumed by oral ingestion or smoking; typically in a pipe, vaporizer or joints, where it is normally mixed with cannabis or tobacco, as pure hashish will burn poorly if burned alone.
Manufacturing processesEdit
Hashish is made from cannabinoid-rich glandular hairs known as trichomes, as well as varying amounts of cannabis flower and leaf fragments. The flowers of a mature female plant contain the most trichomes, though trichomes are also found on other parts of the plant. Certain strains of cannabis are cultivated specifically for their ability to produce large amounts of trichomes. The resin reservoirs of the trichomes, sometimes erroneously called pollen (vendors often use the euphemism "pollen catchers" to describe screened kief-grinders in order to skirt paraphernalia-selling laws), are separated from the plant through various methods.
Mechanical separation methods use physical action to remove the trichomes from the plant, such as sieving through a screen by hand or in motorized tumblers. This technique is known as "drysifting". The resulting powder, referred to as "kief" or "drysift", is compressed with the aid of heat into blocks of hashish; if pure, the kief will become gooey and pliable. When a high level of pure THC is present, the end product will be almost transparent and will start to melt at the point of human contact.
Ice-water separation is another mechanical method of isolating trichomes. Newer techniques have been developed such as heat and pressure separations, static-electricity sieving or acoustical dry sieving.[9]
Trichomes may break away from supporting stalks and leaves when plant material becomes brittle at low temperatures. After plant material has been agitated in an icy slush, separated trichomes are often dense enough to sink to the bottom of the ice-water mixture following agitation, while lighter pieces of leaves and stems tend to float.[10]
The ice-water method requires ice, water, agitation, filtration bags with various-sized screens and plant material. With the ice-water extraction method the resin becomes hard and brittle and can easily be separated. This allows large quantities of pure resins to be extracted in a very clean process without the use of solvents, making for a more purified hashish.[10][11]
Chemical separation methods generally use a solvent such as ethanol, butane or hexane to dissolve the lipophilic desirable resin. Remaining plant materials are filtered out of the solution and sent to the compost. The solvent is then evaporated, or boiled off (purged) leaving behind the desirable resins, called honey oil, "hash oil", or just "oil". Honey oil still contains waxes and essential oils and can be further purified by vacuum distillation to yield "red oil". The product of chemical separations is more commonly referred to as "honey oil." This oil is not really hashish, as the latter name covers trichomes that are extracted by sieving. This leaves most of the glands intact.
In a study conducted in 2014 by Jean-Jaques Filippi, Marie Marchini, Céline Charvoz, Laurence Dujourdy and Nicolas Baldovini (Multidimensional analysis of cannabis volatile constituents: Identification of 5,5-dimethyl-1-vinylbicyclo[2.1.1]hexane as a volatile marker of hashish, the resin of Cannabis sativa L.) the researchers linked the characteristic flavour of hashish with a rearrangement of myrcene caused during the process of manufacture.[12]
Tiny pieces of leaf matter may be accidentally or even purposely added; adulterants introduced when the hashish is being produced will reduce the purity of the material and often resulting in green finished product. The tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of hashish comes in wide ranges from almost none to 65% and that of hash oil from 30% to 90%.[15]

Work and Pensions Secretary John Hutton is considering including the plan, drawn up by Save The Children, in his forthcoming strategy intended to help the government honour its ambitious pledge to abolish child poverty in the UK by 2020.
Campaigners have suggested a new £1.4bn-a-year system of 'seasonal grants' under which 3.1 million families containing 5.8 million children would receive £100 for each child in the summer and the same again, plus a further £100 per household, in the winter.
The money would help families on very low incomes to buy food for their children's lunches at a time when they are not getting free school meals, pay for childcare and take advantage of out-of-school recreational pursuits.
Jim Murphy, the Employment and Welfare Reform Minister, said: 'A decade ago the UK had the highest levels of child poverty in the industrialised world. Today the child poverty rate is falling, but we need to go further.'

It later sold them on as part of a block trade, worth an estimated £200m, at 270p after the official close of business in London. This stretched total turnover in the shares to 174m.
The buyer of the stake is thought to be the German utilities giant RWE, which last month launched a £3.1bn agreed offer for Innogy worth 275p a share. Today we saw the other side of those bargains on the ticker as the trades were completed.
Brokers turned their noses up at suggestions of a counterbid. They said the purchase of the shares by RWE was designed to enable holders of Innogy shares to get their money and re-invest elsewhere. Approval for the takeover by the regulatory authorities is expected to take some time. Last year's acquisition of Powergen by another German utility group, E.ON, has still to be approved. Innogy shaded 1/2p to 270 1/2p.
There was also heavy turnover overnight in another bid target, Enterprise Oil, down 4p at 725p, after US securities house Schroder Salomon Smith Barney snapped up about 10% of the shares on behalf Shell Resources, a subsidiary of Shell, down 8p at 520p. Shell made an agreed offer worth £3.5bn, or 725p a share, for Enterprise on Tuesday. Some City speculators are confident that a counter-bid will materialise.
The bid for Enterprise and a strong oil price continued to buoy the rest of the sector, Cairn Energy adding 3 1/2p to 304 1/2p and Tullow Oil firming 3 1/2p to 110p. Broker UBS Warburg remains underweight in the sector and has repeated its 'hold' rating on BP, 1p up at 625p, and Shell. But it has increased its 12-month target price on BP from 515p to 570p and for Shell from 515p to 520p.
The rest of the market traded in narrow limits, most investors watching from the sidelines ahead of Thursday's decision on interest rates by the Bank of England's monetary policy committee. Sentiment was also affected by a fall of 0.5% in the Dow overnight in New York. The FTSE 100 index was down 3.6 at 5247.8 by close.
South African Breweries, up 2p at 495p, looked flat as talk in the City bars suggested it was poised to bid £3.5bn for US brewer Miller. Broker Credit Suisse First Boston says the deal would give SAB a better brand and distribution portfolio.
GlaxoSmithKline fell 26p to 1617p following bearish comments from Japanese house Nomura which is worried about the impact on its drug Paxil of cheaper generic versions. ICI slipped 3p to 331 3/4p. Today is the last time for trading in the nil-paid shares.
Property services specialist Mears Group, up 1/2p at 91 1/2p, cheered shareholders with a surge in pre-tax profits last year from £1.93m to £2.5m - the top end of brokers' forecasts.
British Energy fell 4p to 176p after broker Credit Suisse First Boston slashed its earnings estimates for the current year from 12.1p a share to 3.3p and for next year from 18p to 15.9p.

Park City • It was midnight in Park City and almost on cue, a call crackled in over the radio: A fight had broken out.
"Here we go," said Officer John Paul Torres as he flipped on the siren and hit the gas.
The Park City Police SUV lurched forward, dodging taxis and limos filled with Sundance glitterati. At a sharp corner near Main Street, Torres yanked the steering wheel hard to the right, sending everything in the SUV flying. At the roundabout, he veered onto a curb to avoid snarled traffic. Seconds later, Torres pulled up in a residential neighborhood behind several other police vehicles and approached two men who were already squinting under police flashlights.
The fight turned out to be a scuffle between two roommates over a parking space. They "hugged it out," Torres explained 30 minutes later, and the officers dispersed back into the city.
That incident illustrates the challenge posed by the Sundance Film Festival, when both the population and number of parties in Park City explode. As of Tuesday, police spokesman Capt. Phil Kirk had no statistics on his department's activity but said that during the busy opening weekend of the festival everything had gone "like clockwork."
He also said that over the years the department has learned how to cope with the crowds and staffs extra officers.
"It more than doubles the size of our force," Kirk explained.
But that doesn't mean the cops aren't busy. Torres' shift began Saturday around 9 p.m. with a call about a possible assault at a Main Street bar. When he arrived, the bartender and manager said a young man had become belligerent so they asked him to leave. The young man who made the call took nearly two hours to return to the scene but finally claimed to be an actor who asked for a free drink and was attacked by the bartender.
"If anybody goes into that restaurant they're probably going to get choked and killed," the man shouted just before he grabbed his ID out of Torres' hand and stomped away.
Afterward, Torres said he smelled alcohol on the man's breath and added that much of the police work during Sundance involves people who have imbibed too much.
Torres later headed to the city's periphery to look for erratic or speeding drivers. Traffic forced most of the cars to go slow, and before long Torres was called back into the heart of the city to check bars for compliance with city ordinances. He parked his car on Main Street and began walking.
Torres and another officer first headed to a dance party with music blasting out of a second-floor balcony. At the door, a bouncer smiled when he saw the police uniforms. He waved both officers into a dark room throbbing with a heavy bass line.
"They want to work with us," Torres said as he stepped inside, "because if they don't, we shut them down."
The bouncer brought Torres a clicker that showed how many people were inside. He also agreed to turn off the exterior music. Before the officers left, the party organizer strode over and shook their hands.
Then Torres checked two bars. At the first, California-based band Vintage Trouble was entertaining a crowd of hipsters and miniskirted women near a sunken stage. At the second, a bouncer whispered to Torres at the door.
"Did you see James Franco? He was just here."
Torres didn't see Franco, but neither bar was over capacity so the officers moved on to a third venue where a young-looking woman with a fake-looking ID had passed out. Fire crews soon arrived and carried her into an ambulance, but she awoke and began screaming profanities at everyone within earshot. Officers eventually had to handcuff her to the gurney.
Torres rode with the young woman to a hospital and other officers later reported that she likely would be booked into jail for assaulting medical personnel. The incident finally ended as the officers dispersed to a series of other calls related to fights and over-intoxication. The bars were still hopping.

Obama By Proxy
posted at 5:48 pm on March 12, 2010 by Doctor Zero
What's your favorite example of mindless, slavering Palin hatred? The following excerpt comes from a review of Big Love, HBO's lurid soap opera about a polygamist family:
What's taking the Sissy Spacek and Perry King characters so long to discover Bill's a polygamist? Hundreds of people in Greater Salt Lake City – polygamist and non-polygamist, Juniper Creek residents, law enforcement officials, drive-in attendants, neighbors – must know by now, no? At the end of season one, Barb admitted to an assistant to the governor's wife that she was "involved in a polygamist lifestyle." (But then again, nobody seemed to catch on to what a petty little idiot Sarah Palin was before John McCain snatched her from obscurity. Maybe a Utah state senate race simply doesn't invite a ton of scrutiny.)
It may not be as flashy as Kathy Griffin grunting about her primitive urge to push the former governor of Alaska down a flight of stairs, but I like the sheer drive-by stupidity of it. There are plenty of other lefties out there, shivering with an anger so intense they can't help vomiting it into movie reviews, fashion articles, sports stories, and other inappropriate venues, to the discomfort of readers who weren't looking for crazy sandwich-board rants about Sarah Palin.
What drives Palin Derangement Syndrome to such intensity? Did anyone except John Edwards feel this passionately about John Edwards after he concluded a losing campaign as a vice-presidential candidate? Certainly Palin has remained more prominent than most such candidates, writing a blockbuster autobiography and launching a daring raid against the Death Panel Star from her Facebook page on Yavin-4… but has she really done anything to inspire this level of personal venom?
Few of the people issuing these lowbrow fatwas against her are residents of Alaska, so they've never lived under her authority, and know little about her actions as governor. They're not having policy arguments with her, or rebelling against something she did in office. She was pretty tough on Obama during the latter days of the campaign, but that's a role traditionally filled by all veep candidates, and it didn't work – he still got elected. She's not a feisty provocateur like Ann Coulter, striking a kung fu stance after every trenchant column and beckoning liberals to take their best shot at her. Palin's speeches and writing are forceful and confident, but liberals respond as if she were screaming insults at them, or maybe hunting them for sport with her rifle.
Many of these vitriolic attacks are threads in the Shroud of Contempt, which the Left uses to smother opponents through its media and cultural influence, by constructing a common perception of them as too stupid or crazy to take seriously. Some of the animosity is born from fear that Palin might successfully re-enter politics. Listening to the criticism mixed in with the insults, I wonder if there might be another, more subtle reason behind the level of rage directed at John McCain's affable running mate:
Sarah Palin is Obama by proxy.
Palin's admirers often marvel at how the charges leveled against her are far more applicable to the current President. People who voted for an undistinguished junior senator from Illinois with few accomplishments are quick to assault Palin's "lack of experience." The same folks who instruct us that Barack Obama is a physical paragon, and Michelle Obama is the most beautiful woman in the world – a goddess who causes fashion models to slink from her path in shame – belittle Palin for her good looks. Defenders of the most fabulously corrupt administration in modern history mumble about the murky details of obscure "scandals" manufactured by Alaskan bloggers. They turn away from the sad spectacle of a manifestly incompetent President to sneer that a woman who alters the course of legislative battles with blog posts is some kind of an idiot.
They dismiss Going Rogue as "ghost written" while ignoring the specter of Bill Ayers plodding through Obama's books, a sputtering bomb clutched in its skeletal fingers. A few lines scribbled on Palin's palm glow more brightly in their imaginations than terabytes of data flowing across the screen of Obama's teleprompter. They accuse Palin of being a "divisive" and "polarizing" figure, while Obama launches Taxi Driver rants against evil insurance companies, cops acting stupidly, tonsil-stealing doctors, and everyone else who crosses his path.
I used to dismiss these contradictions as simply hypocrisy, but perhaps these people are angry at Palin because of her perceived similarities to Barack Obama, not in spite of them. They need someplace to ground the lightning of their frustration and disappointment, and they're not allowed to be angry at Obama. They wear a set of rusty intellectual chains that require them to believe all criticism of Obama is racist, or paid for by his fat-cat arch-enemies. Accepting the notion that government power is morally superior to free enterprise, and a virtuous nation therefore has a very large government, requires belief in the masters of the State as titans of mind and spirit. How could a gigantic State be morally defensible, if its leaders aren't supermen? If you find yourself suspecting the architect of the largest, most expensive government America has ever known might not be as smart or wise as you were led to believe last November, your entire world-view is threatened.
It's very important for liberals to deflect those suspicions onto a designated, culturally approved target. Sarah Palin is a convenient hate fetish for increasingly nervous and confused Left, because she embodies the qualities of the red-state America they loathe… and serves as a voodoo doll for uncomfortable criticisms of Obama, which they project onto her. As events continue to demonstrate those criticisms were far more important than any of the superficial or imaginary reasons they voted for him, they'll jab pins into that voodoo doll with increasing fury, even though the object of their anger now spends her days working for a news network none of them would be caught dead watching.
The pitfall of an insular, heavily biased media culture is that it doesn't process negative feedback well. Those of us who never joined the Obama cult can only frown at the chunks of bile strewn through discourse that should have nothing to do with politics, and laugh when people who voted Joe Biden into office sputter about what a lousy vice-president Sarah Palin would have made.

The pitfall of an insular, heavily biased media culture is that it doesn't process negative feedback well.
It's all Bush's fault. That's the problem. Not that it is Bush's fault, but in an illogical way it sorta is. Consider: That for eight years the foaming-at-the-mouth radical Left spewed their hatred of Bush in every form possible, from declaring GW's presidency to be illegitimate due to the perceived razor-closeness of the Florida 2000 counts, to books and movies in which GW gets assassinated, to simply turning every single issue which he addressed as being anti-something and unpatriotic, or an outright lie.
What on earth do vicious, hateful, radical Left people do with all that negative energy and anger when suddenly their preferred target is removed from their line of site? Why, they simply find someone else to transfer all that negative and unresolved emotion onto in the hopes of gaining retribution.
More disturbingly, they seek to find vindication somehow. Nothing they blasted at him nor accused him of successfully removed GW Bush from office, and he served out his full two terms. This was an outrage, dontcha know!
And so the only recourse to such insanity is to transfer the rage and outrage onto a new person who they might, still, utterly destroy, but before that person has a chance to actually successfully "steal" some higher office, being as most perceive it: The Presidency. Which they were powerless to deny GW Bush.
If they could just succeed in preventing Sarah Palin from enjoying White House occupancy, perhaps in their sick and twisted minds it would translate into saving the country from the likes of GW Bush, in retrospect, as delayed retribution.
I'm beginning to somewhat believe what Michael Savage claimed: That Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. But then, I kinda view his often irrational rants as being beyond comprehension at times, too. Still, there's a grain of sand to be found in many such postulations, no?

Dope Duo
Old age is hell. For most cats, the relentless march of Father Time tends to weaken the joints, gray the features, and dull the mind. Well, unless they happen to be Kevin Smith, that is.
In the case of the 41-year-old geek gadfly and auteur of such iconic comedies as Clerks and Mallrats, getting older has meant getting funnier. Although Smith's time in the director's chair is winding down (he reportedly has only a couple films left in his oeuvre), he's developed a second career as a raconteur and podcasting dynamo and spends hours on end broadcasting his utterly hilarious (and utterly filthy) stories, witty observations, and snarky dissings on Hollywood culture each week via his website (www.smodcast.com).
One of the more memorable "SModcasts" is his weekly gabfest with longtime pal (and fellow vulgarian) Jason Mewes entitled Jay and Silent Bob Get Old. Over the course of a decade, the two slung dope on the silver screen as the drug-dealing duo of the same name in six of Smith's films. These days, however, they're serving up laughs instead of nickel bags as they spin funny and foul-mouthed yarns.

By PATRICK HALL, The Wilson Post
In an investigation spanning three law enforcement agencies and four counties, the Wilson County Sheriffs Department recovered thousands of dollars worth of stolen items and has one suspect in custody in a string of home burglaries over a period of several months.
This was a joint investigation between the Wilson County Sheriffs Department, Sumner County Sheriffs Department and Rutherford County Sheriffs Department, said Detective Ricky Knight of the WCSD.
Items recovered included 14 guns, ranging from pistols to hunting rifles, shotguns and even an AK-47, which Detective Jeff Johnson is legal to own only if it is not fully-automatic.
Also recovered were six flat screen televisions, multiple power tools, bags and pillowcases full of jewelry, video games, DVDs and more. The detectives estimated the items were worth several thousands of dollars.
In addition to the recovered stolen items, the WCSD arrested Keith Douglas Wooten of 5961 Beckwith Rd, Mt. Juliet, on Nov. 18 on one charge of aggravated burglary and one charge of theft of property.
We recovered some of this from a home in Wilson County and more from a home in Davidson County, Knight said.
The items were stolen from homes in Wilson, Sumner, Williamson and Grundy counties and Detective Tim Bailey of the Sumner County Sheriffs Department noted some of the items have been identified to be from a home burglary reported on Sept. 20.
A lot of it has been identified by us, Grundy County Sheriffs Department and Williamson County, Knight said.
Knight said the items were all stolen from multiple homes and said they expect to make additional arrests of multiple suspects in the next several weeks. Wooten remains in custody at the Wilson County Jail and Knight said all of the items will be stored in Wilson County.
He pointed out if anyone had purchased items from Wooten recently to notify the authorities as it could possibly have been a stolen item. Knight also said they will be contacting victims to help return the stolen property to its rightful owners.

V6 is getting about 22 mpg with 80% highway driving. Not very impressed with the numbers GM did not accurately reflect true gas mileage. Only saving grace is the 87 gas price
Printable View
V6 is getting about 22 mpg with 80% highway driving. Not very impressed with the numbers GM did not accurately reflect true gas mileage. Only saving grace is the 87 gas price
The first 600 miles almost exclusively city driving (less than 5 miles at a time) and I was right at 19. Took a weekend roadtrip of about 1,000 highway miles and I am at 25 MPGs after a month of ownership and 1,700 miles.
2.0t been getting a solid 21mpg city over 4500 miles. That is with spirited driving. Also just did a 200 mile trip and was able to pull 32mpg running at 74-75mph.
I am happy that my numbers match estimates.
I am getting 18.6 mpg. My daily commute is about 30 miles. The first 15 is all highway going 60 mph, the next 15 is bumper to bumper going 5 mph. I have the 3.6 AWD, guess that is not too bad. Love the car.
Just ran a quick test of D vs SM. Traveled 30 miles on highway (20 miles) and streets (10 miles) using D, then did the return trip in SM. Highway travel speed ranged from 65-80 mph and street speed ranged from stop to 35-50 mph. To my great surprise, the average fuel usage was about the same on both legs of the trip - 26 mpg. Using 93 octane and have 1200 miles. If this be the case, then SM all the way.
I have been comparing two different 3.6L ATs Models - one Luxury and one Performance model.
Even though the total mileage is still different (6k and 2k), I would say that I am getting very consistent mpg readout on the same road stretches. Sports Mode or Touring Mode seems to have a very slight impact on the achieved mpg - driving with or without a heavy foot has a bigger impact.
On freeway stretches, I usually see between 26mpg and 28mpg. It is always a bit tricky here, because the highest number is only achieved on cruise-control, on a flat freeway. Freeways here are going through hills, and often have stop and go traffic - both lowering the mpg. Hence I state 26 to 28mpg.
Driving off-freeways (expressways, surface streets and canyons/hills) I see about 20mpg on either car. If I push the car hard I can get it to drop below 19mpg, but not below 18mpg, which is actually still impressive for the driving style (hard starts and stops).
With my normal 'commute' - stop and go, and a combination of surface streets and freeways, I get 21.8mph with both cars - in SM all the time with fairly aggressive take-offs.
I just made a 600 mile round trip over the weekend and averaged ~28mpg doing 70 and ~26 doing an average closer to 80.
I will say the manual transmission and turbo are the cause - 6th gear and the final gear are rather short for the amount of power the car makes and the turbine A:R is so small the engine constantly is in and out of boost. They made it so you could be doing 55mph in 6th gear and accelerate smoothly (this is a Cadillac, after all) without shifting - but I sorta wish they hadn't. We should check with Pfadt about their turbo development and see what happens when you swap the turbo but leave the stock tune in place.
2.0T AWD auto, getting 22-24mpg in mixed driving. Again, I highly recommend resetting the average counter every now and then...
2.0T RWD Manual got 22 mpg for the first 1500 miles, 80% city driving.
Gentleman & Ladies.
Wow am I in a pickle,, I just love the ATS and really want to look into buying one, HOWEVER, I would have to let my 1999 Olds Aurora go.
Wonderful BIG car ride with a 4.0 V8 that will scat. Now for the bad or good news. I get 18 to 20 MPG city and 24 to 26 Highway driving at 75
with air on. Wow, do I want to give it up? If I have to trade down ( and it is) to a 2.0 - 4 cylinder (Just 1/2 of what I have) and get the same mileage
their has to something wrong with this picture. Please help me out. I'm getting force fed that I should not drive this big V8 and should buy a smaller 4 cylinder to help the planet by consuming less fuel. Now someone tell me.. who's zoomin' who. LOL
Some body is selling a bill of goods. By the way, I have a bridge for sale for you..
Wow, I'm rather surprised by the high variability in people's cars. Obviously engine size, awd vs rwd, transmission and driving style all come into play. I have a 3.6 which I'm sure is worse than the turbo which is worse than the 2.5. Additionally, I have awd, which subtracts even more. So I figure I have the worst combination but I figured if I drive gingerly, I'd still get 25. Not the case......as a matter of fact it's not much different how I drive. High teens on a bad day and low 20's on a good day. I'm certainly not going to drive it like my grandma just for a few extra mpg. With fairly aggressive driving, 18-20 seems about right.
Not sure how many people are calculating their MPG at the pump, or via the computer. Might account for the varying degrees of accuracy.
My average MPG counter is consistently high, even though I reset it at every fill.
And of course, driving style is a big factor. Using cruise control liberally on highway driving should net you some extra gains. Ultimately though, it's a performance sports sedan...fuel economy is not top of the priority list when designing it, so we shouldn't expect to be blown away by high MPG when driving it.

Try Being Happy
Happy hours correspond nicely with family dinner hour—restaurant deals aren't always limited to cocktails. Look for restaurants that offer a break on appetizers and main dishes, too. While on vacation, we went out for a dinner for three (with glasses of wine for mom and dad) for under $30 this way.

RAeS Ballantyne 2014 | Gautam Lewis lecture
#YouHaveControl – With such a fantastic programme of speakers and supporters, The Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) produced an in-depth Diversity-themed Ballantyne lecture.
The day began with an introduction from RAeS President Jenny Body about her own career at Airbus, highlighting the variety of roles that she was involved in, from developing cutting-edge fly-by-wire systems to securing investment for UK aerospace research and design. Jenny also highlighted her passion for the sector and keenness to ensure that it both appeals to and is accessible to underrepresented groups, particularly girls, ethnic minority groups, socially disadvantaged groups and the disabled.
Felicity Feshade, Head of Engineering Systems, Raytheon UK, gave the keynote speech, on her career pathfrom a curious child growing up in a traditional family in Hong Kong (trying to freeze ants to see if they would come back to life!) to her current role.
Flying is often viewed as a particularly elitist part of the sector – with commercial pilot training costs running to six figure sums and the usual image portrayed in the media as white, affluent male. Yet flying is actually much more open that it may appear, with many female captains flying for Read more →

What are the Tigers getting in five-star DE Robert Nkemdiche?
Go inside to find out.
Sources confirmed the news to CUTigers.com shortly after the decision was made.
He becomes the third player from Grayson High School to pledge for the Tigers in the 2013 recruiting class.
Grayson's Wayne Gallman, a four-star running back, and David Kamara, a three-star cornerback, have also given commitments to the Clemson coaching staff.
Check out the full list of 2013's top prospects from Scout.com.
Clemson also signed the No. 1 defensive end in the nation in 2008 when Da'Quan Bowers inked with the Tigers. He later went on to be named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and was a third-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Tigers have also produced some of the top defensive linemen in the game in recent years, including the late Gaines Adams, the No. 4 overall pick of the 2007 NFL Draft; Jarvis Jenkins, a third-round pick of the Washington Redskins in 2011; and Ricky Sapp, another former five-star defensive end who was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010.
Defensive end Andre Branch (second round - Jacksonville) and tackle Brandon Thompson (third round - Cincinnati) were also high-round draft picks this past April.
Robert Nkemdiche's verbal commitment gives the Tigers another anchor on the defensive line for seasons to come.
"He has a running back skill set in a 6'4/260 pounds frame," Scout.com's Director of Scouting Scott Kennedy says. "Nkemdiche has uncommon strength and power to go along with feet quick enough that he could be a viable running back prospect.
"He's strong enough to manhandle an offensive tackle and quick enough to run by him and chase down a ball carrier from behind. He has good flexibility, allowing him to get low and change direction like he was on rails. Physically impressive with dominating production."
Nkemdiche chose the Tigers over offers from virtually every other school in the south, including Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn and others.
He also had offers from as far away as Texas and Oregon.
With his verbal commitment in place, Nkemdiche moves Clemson's 2013 recruiting class up to 18th in Scout.com's updated national rankings.
The five-star commitment has also now visited Clemson three times this year -- with the third time, apparently, being the charm.

Is this normal?
I found a cut on the side of the HVAC unit (approximately 6inX6in), where the plenum is. Hot air is blowing through it and obviously it was done by the original installer (I rent this apt.) Is this normal? What is it done for? Should I be concerned about it? Does it endanger my health in any way? Thank you in advance for your help.
How about a picture so we can see what your talking about.
Unless it's a hole in the freon line, or condinsate line there is no danger.
If it's just a hole in the duct work just put a patch of foil duct tape over the hole and forget about it.
I'm sorry for the delay.Here are the pics.Thank you.
Go to your local hardware store and get the heat resistant tape ( will ne shinny aluminum color) and go to town taping up hole cover about 1'' - 2'' excess around area you are covering .
Ps make sure furnace is OFF while you prefrom this task .
Thank you kindly.
I appreciate your help.

Swoobat you might as well couunter the other rounds with your own round, if eounds happen.
Swoobat you might as well couunter the other rounds with your own round, if eounds happen.
Rigilyph, round out the other rounds please
Message me if you want a 6th gen battle!~FC:3909-8006-3272
Chandelure, you know what they say the more the merrier.
Chandelure cancel the decision to use Shadow Ball and use Round instead, don't worry being a ghost type makes you invincible.
Take the shadow ball and use hidden power: ice
heh looks like he didn't realise I took a change of plans about Shadow Ball
Chandelure don't mind the Ice HP just continue to use Round ,but make sure the attack is directly going for Musharnus.
Shazcosta I was paying no attention as I have found animal crackers if there is a second round chain or one I am not blocking going to hit you use Round if you have a move left.
Also if you have a move left and will be hit with a Hidden power use Hidden Power Water.

Rigilyph I guess u gotta use a hidden power: ice to counter the other hidden powers
Message me if you want a 6th gen battle!~FC:3909-8006-3272
Swoobat, if you'd be hit by the other hidden powers then counter them with you own hidden power bug if you have a move remaining that is....and of course only if it'd hit you.
Monsharna, counter the other Hidden Powers with a Hidden Power Dark
Meloetta, if the Hidden Powers are going to hit you, use a Hidden Power Ghost to block them.
Since there may be some confusion as to the definition of block, block in this context is defined as hindering the passage, progress, or accomplishment of harm towards oneself.
Chandelure, Use Hidden Power Ice as a counter to all the other Hidden Powers
Zyogonal since you've already activated levitate, everyone is running around going bat-sheet crazy, and even all the other trainers themselves seem to be having some difficulty keeping track of what the heck is going on, why don't you just float up to the top of whatever zone you randomly warped into earlier and laugh at them maniacally. Pleebs!

Okay Ferrothorn, IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS COMMANDS NOW, here's what we'll do.
If you would be able to make it to the pinwheel forest warp before getting hit by all of the craziness going on at the entralink, take the warp to pinwheel forest without doing anything else first.
If you would get hit by the attacks at the entralink, but a rock polish would allow you to get to pinwheel forest relatively unscathed, use Rock Polish and take the pinwheel forest warp.
If neither of these are possible, Protect through the heat waves and counter any rounds at the entralink with your own Round before warping to pinwheel forest.
When you make it to pinwheel forest, wait until Serperior and Audino have attacked each other and use Hidden Power Rock.
If for some reason Serperior and Audino do not attack each other, use Hidden Power Rock anyway.
If you still have a move left, and have not used Rock Polish, use Rock Polish.
If you still have a move left, and have used Rock Polish, do not use Rock Polish again this round.
Ever wondered what it's like to battle like Ash? No?
How about Misty, Paul, Brock, Dawn, anybody from the anime?
Have a go for yourself in the ASB league! Interested? Of course you are! Here's how you get started!

I am freaking tired of this. I know the ref was going to do it in the reffing but I will say this now....
Archeops; if you'd get hit by the Hidden Powers, use Hidden Power Rock to block the attacks.
If the Hidden Power Chain is out of range, or won't happen, or you have used 3 moves already, don't use the move.
I agree with the above and also the post in between has to be a pokemon command.
Victini since everyone's being rather crazy and I don't know what is going on and you somew how have a move left over please, use a huge V-create on Musharnus before he can use hidden power ice so it can't happen.
If that would fail to stop the hidden powers and you have a move leftover, use hidden power psychic to block all the other hidden powers.
If that would fail, get as close to one who is using a hidden power ice and hang there close enough so only that hidden power ice would hit you.
If that would fail push a tomb and get out of the area fast. If you have still been in the entralink this whole time waiting for the attacking to die down then hold for a little longer. After all these attacks die down come back to celestial tower.
If for some reason none of these ideas would work, then stand tall and become do these anime movie based ideas:
1.) First use your wings and fly around the shots that are coming to hit you by flying high enough for the attacks to disperse in order for it to become wide enough for you to easially dodge the hidden powers.
2.) Second become in invisible and hide on one of Chandelure's black chandlers arms and avoid the hidden powers by staying close enough to have his attack protect you from the other hidden powers.
3.) Third use your wings to fly up tall the stairs so you can change your location so your out of the hidden powers' range.
If all of those ideas fail then, stand tall, be strong, and good luck to you my ally, Pokemon, and great friend.
by now you should have one or two moves left.
IF Victini uses V-Create on you use baton pass on victini if V-Create doesn't happen then don't use baton pass
but no matter what use hidden power: Ice

April 30, 2009
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A challenge from a longtime rival awaits No. 15 Tennessee (37-13-1, 12-10-1 SEC) over May 1-2 at the Lee Softball Stadium as No. 3 Alabama (43-8, 19-6 SEC) visits Knoxville for a three-game set to conclude the 2009 regular season. First pitch for Friday night's single contest is set for 6 p.m. ET, with a doubleheader slated for Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.
The Sports Animal (990 AM, 99.1, 99.3 FM) will radio broadcast all three match-ups in the series. Live stats will be available for the trio of contests and web-streamed video is expected to be provided for Saturday's doubleheader through utladyvols.com.
Recent history in the all-time series between Tennessee and Alabama has seen the home team possess a distinct advantage over its visitor. The Big Orange swept a doubleheader from the Crimson Tide at then-home Tyson Park back in 2007 and holds a 4-1 record versus UA over the last five meetings in Knoxville. In the all-time series Alabama leads 24-14, but the Lady Vols have taken nine of the last 16 overall match-ups.
With no mid-week action because of final exams, Tennessee enters its series against 'Bama with its last memory on the field of play being a stirring 6-3 win over #8 Georgia last Sunday as UT salvaged a triumph in a hard-fought road series in Athens, Ga. Freshman Jessica Spigner was called on to move from her usual third base position into the circle and certainly didn't disappoint. The Santa Clarita, Calif., native allowed just one run on four hits over 3.2 innings of relief in the Big Orange's 6-2 loss to UGA on Saturday. The righty was also summoned in for relief work during the third inning of Sunday's finale with a Bulldog runner aboard and the score deadlocked at 3-3. Spigner settled things down, allowing just one hit over the final five innings as UT eventually prevailed.
Tennessee's offense broke out in the series finale against Georgia, banging out six runs on seven hits with home runs from junior second baseman Nicole Kajitani and freshman designated player Shelby Burchell. The big blow of the contest occurred in the top of the seventh with a 2-2 count, two outs and the game tied. Sophomore center fielder Kelly Grieve battled UGA starter Christie Hamilton over an extended at-bat before slapping a pitch down the left field line that landed just inside the chalk for a two-RBI triple as UT grabbed a late lead. Junior catcher/first baseman Tiffany Huff followed immediately by knocking in her team-best 65th run of the season, providing the Orange & White some valuable insurance.
A staple of the nation's top 5 all-season long, Alabama enters this weekend's final regular-season series at 43-8 overall, 19-6 in SEC play and in possession of the second seed for next week's SEC Tournament. Boasting five very experienced seniors, the Crimson Tide currently rates second as a team and 15th in NCAA Division I in earned run average (counting all games) at 1.64 and third in batting average at .318 (14th in nation), having scored at a 6.4 run per game clip. UA has demonstrated its ample power by blasting 46 home runs to go along with 63 doubles and is the top base stealing team in the country with 151 thefts. In all 11 Alabama players possess 11 or more RBIs on the season. From the circle, three hurlers have combined for 20 shutouts, 35 complete games and 349 strikeouts while limiting opponents to just a .205 batting average.
From an individual standpoint, the Crimson Tide is led offensively by junior Charlotte Morgan and senior Brittany Rogers. Morgan currently guides the way (counting league contests only) in batting average at .452 with a league-best 33 RBIs in 25 SEC contests. For the entire campaign, the Moreno Valley, Calif., native boasts a .415 average with eight doubles, eight HR's and a squad best 47 RBIs. Rogers wreaks havoc from the top of the batting order as the speedster owns a .400 average, a .462 on-base percentage and a league-high 41 stolen bases. Among other major contributors to the powerful UA attack are senior Lauren Parker (.336, 19 RBIs), freshman Cassandra Reilly-Boccia (.325, 12 doubles, three HR's, 38 RBIs), redshirt freshman Amanda Locke (.305, eight HR's, 25 RBIs), sophomore Whitney Larsen (.295, nine HR's, 32 RBIs) and senior Kelley Montalvo (.302, 11 doubles, five HR's, 29 RBIs). Rookies Jazlyn Lunceford (.389, 17 RBIs) and Jennifer Fenton (.367, three HR's, 11 RBIs) have contributed at the plate as well as on the base paths with 14 and 27 steals, respectively.
Returning in the circle for Alabama is 2008 SEC Freshman of the Year Kelsi Dunne. The Port Orange, Fla., native has picked up where she left off last season by posting a sterling 23-2 record with the league's third-best ERA (1.22), 19 complete games, 11 shutouts and 202 K's in 160.1 innings of work. Morgan also contributes strongly from the circle, having fired 119.0 frames while tallying a 13-6 record and a 2.18 ERA with 111 strikeouts. Locke has added 44.2 innings of support, going 7-0 with a 1.72 ERA.

An Intestinal Transplant Recipient's Mission to Help Others Like Her
Grateful for the support she received from family and friends, Noa Walsky wants other small bowel transplant patients to have the benefit of a similar support system.
In 2008 Noa Walsky was in the best shape of her life, but something felt off. Now and then, she felt a lump in her belly that she affectionately called "her grapefruit." Because it wasn't always noticeable, she didn't worry much about it. But six months later, she felt it again, and her parents—a surgeon and nurse— also felt the lump.
An MRI revealed a desmoid tumor in June 2009. Desmoid tumors develop in the body's fibrous tissue and can become very large. They are considered benign because they don't metastasize like cancerous tumors do, but they can cause serious damage to internal organs because they often attack adjacent muscle tissue.
Noa's tumor had to be removed – but in order to do so, surgeons needed to remove her entire small bowel. As a result, Noa needed to receive an intestinal transplant and was placed on the national wait list. In December 2009,she received her transplant at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Noa requires a lifetime of follow-up care to make sure her body doesn't reject her new intestines. While she was tremendously grateful for the gift of transplantation – Noa had to cope with the stress of maintaining the high costs of staying healthy. She was out of work for long periods of time, and the cost of her medications was exorbitant.
Last November, Noa (pictured above, 2nd from the right) turned 30. She chose to celebrate her birthday and her transplant by helping others. She contacted the National Foundation for Transplants (NFT) to see how she could help other small bowel transplant patients. This call led to the creation of the NFT's Small Bowel Fund. She asked her friends to make a donation to this fund in lieu of giving her a birthday gift. About 50 people attended the party, raising nearly $6,000. Noa has relied on the help of her family and friends during her long recovery process, and she's grateful for their support. She wanted to begin this fund to help others who may not have the same kind of support system. And she has done just that. To contribute to this fund please contact the NFT.

While Brodrick Smith might not have just came out and said that it was down to Kansas State and Oregon , those are the schools he plans on visiting officially. Smith has seen K. State once already as an unofficial visitor, but come the tail-end of January (25th), he'll be checking out on a more official note. The same can be said of Oregon , but that visit is still in the works, as they say.
Prior to Dec. 20th, Nebraska wasn't even a blip on the radar to this Kansas prep star. But on the 20th, that took a rather pronounced turn. "They called me and they offered me that day," Smith said of a call he received from Husker wide receivers coach Ted Gilmore. "It was a surprise, because I hadn't heard from anyone up there prior to that."
Nebraska may have been a surprise to him, but Smith's value as an athlete isn't a surprise to anyone. Playing quarterback for Garden City this last season, Smith paced the offense with over 1,.300 yards rushing and 18 scores, running a spread Smith likened to what the University of Texas ran when Vince Young led the Longhorns.
At 6-3, 200 pounds, with a reported best 4.41 in the 40, at least from an athletic standpoint, you can see where there is some similarity. But Smith won't be playing QB at the next level. He knows where his bread is buttered, to speak. "Everyone is recruiting me to play wide receiver," Smith said. "I'm good at running routes, I have good hands and I can go up and get the ball."
The running ability doesn't hurt, as that gives you yards after the catch, something almost as value as the ability to catch the ball itself. And with a reported 35-inch vertical, yeah, he can go up and get the ball with the best of them.
Now, the question is, which school will get his services? As late as the offer came from the Huskers, and as little as he knows about the coaches in Lincoln , Smith said that he wasn't ready to write them off. Lack of familiarity or not, he said that the big red deserved a big look. "It's a big-time program and I hear they have big-time facilities. So, I know I will be making a visit up there. I'm not sure when, but it will have to be soon, because I plan on announcing my decision before the end of the month," he said.
The Oregon visit is up in the air, but Brodrick said that he's working to get that one in the books.
As for what he's looking in a college, Smith's criteria is about as simple as can be: "I just want to go to a place where it's a nice campus, good coaches and a place that feels comfortable for me," he said. "Weather obviously isn't an issue, but playing time is. I would like to contribute as soon as I can."
Smith didn't say that he had any clear favorites, but said that the following would be a good firm list for him right now: Illinois , Kansas State , Nebraska , Arizona , Minnesota and Oregon . Smith said all have offered at this point.
Brodrick has a 3.1 GPA.

My 9week old Turkish Angora cross has a small grey spot of fur on her head. I was wondering if it will fade like a full turkish angora's "kitten cap" as her mum also had this spot when she was a kitten. Coconut was the only short haired kitten from the litter so I don't know if she will keep this mark as she doesn't have the physical appearance of a turkish. Any ideas? Thanks

UPDATE 3-Canada's CIBC to pay $3.8 bln for PrivateBancorp, expand in U.S.
* Canadian banks look outside of Canada for growth
* Talks over deal took place over 6-8 months
* CIBC says core capital to remain over 10 percent
* CIBC shares down 3 percent, Private Bancorp up 22 percent (New throughout, adds comments from CEO, analyst, shareholders)
By Matt Scuffham and John Tilak
TORONTO June 29 (Reuters) - Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce said it will buy Chicago-based PrivateBancorp Inc in a $3.8 billion cash-and-share deal, its biggest ever acquisition and a long-awaited expansion in U.S wealth management.
CIBC has been in talks with potential U.S. targets for some time as it looked to expand its wealth management business. The bank sees the sector as a growth area that could help offset sluggish domestic growth and a low-interest-rate environment.
Some investors are also keen for Canadian banks to lessen their dependence on a domestic market that has been hurt by the prolonged slump in oil prices.
"What we're trying to achieve for our shareholders and for our clients is to have a business with a more diversified earnings stream than just relying largely on the Canadian market," CIBC Chief Executive Officer Victor Dodig said on a conference call. Continued...
