text: Posted March 24, 2013 I've posted this video before but you can see the 2 go head to head,hell Jenkins pretty much lines up against the entire Bama o-line over the course of the game. just to help out (right to left)Fluker is 76,Steen is 61, is Jones 75, is Warmack is 65 and Kounadijo. and as the video makes obvious Jenkins is # 6. Fast foward to 1:14 to see him shove jones back into the qb, then to 140ish to see him beat warmack for a sack. At about 3:55 you'll see Jenkins lined up against Jones 1 on 1 again and shove him right into the qb. at 4:25 you'll see him beat a double from Steen and Fluker to stuff the run in the backfield. He makes other plays but I am tired of seeking out the exact time and posting it. Just watch the whole video if you have time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Connections to corrupt bankers revealed in Wall Street Journal. Did you hear about this from your press sources?
Who is Alexi Giannoulias?
On August 5th, Obama is going to Chicago to campaign for Alexi Giannoulias. A fine upstanding 34-year-old running for a US Senate seat. Right? Hardly!
Giannoulias is the "…Illinois state treasurer and heir to a family bank that was seized this spring by the feds." – WSJ 7-22-2010. He met Obama and supported him through his 2004 Senate Victory. Giannoulias has some other problems. When Giannoulias was senior loan office at Broadway Bank money was disbursed to Michael "Jaws" Giorango, a convicted bookmaker. And Giannoulias has received criticism for mismanaging the state's college savings program.
The seat is currently occupied by Ronald Burris who's ethics have been brought into question. He was appointed by former Gov. Rod Balgojevich, who is currently in the middle of his corruption trial.
So if Obama is going to campaign for a banker to fill this closely watched Senate seat in his home state then you would think it would be for someone who has shown good banking ethics. So why is he backing Giannoulias:
The president got his reward when Mr. Giannoulias leveraged his new political clout to raise funds for the Obama presidential campaign. Mr. Obama would also take donations from Giannoulias family members and at least one Broadway Bank manager. A few local papers noted the gap between Mr. Obama's new-politics rhetoric and his old-politics Giannoulias ties, but most media ignored it. – Wall Street Journal
An Act Of Despiration
In late 2008 Obama began to recognize the problems that could be caused by Giannoulias. He tried to get the Illinois Attorney General, Lisa Madigan, to run for the open Senate seat. She declined. Obama has not been able to find anyone better suited for the position.
The Democrats could loose their Senate majority. An Obama could loose more clout. Illinois Democrats have shown their aggravation by not donating money to the Giannoulias campaign. He raised $900,000 in the second quarter vs. $2.3 million raised by his opponent.
So our President who is saving us from corrupt banking is going to campaign for a corrupt banker.

For anyone who has any question as to the racial attitude of President Barack Obama, they just need to read his books.
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming The American Dream was published in October of 2006. In it he states: "I can't help but view the American experience through the lens of a black man of mixed heritage, forever mindful of how generations of people who looked like me were subjugated and stigmatized."
Dreams from My Father : A Story of Race and Inheritance was published in January of 2007. From the annotation: "Obama, the son of a white American mother and a black African father, writes an elegant and compelling biography that powerfully articulates America's racial battleground and tells of his search for his place in black America."
Writing Books or Working For The People?
These books were written while he was serving as a US Senator. Where was he focused? Was he interested in working as a Senator or writing books about racism in America?
I suspect that some readers may find my presentation of these issues to be insufficiently balanced. To this accusation, I stand guilty as charged. I am a Democrat, after all; my views on most topics correspond more closely to the editorial pages of the New York Times than those of the Wall Street Journal. I am angry about policies that consistently favor the wealthy and powerful over average Americans, and insist that government has an important role in opening up opportunity to all. I believe in evolution, scientific inquiry, and global warming; I believe in free speech, whether politically correct or politically incorrect, and I am suspicious of using government to impose anybody's religious beliefs–including my own–on nonbelievers. Furthermore, I am a prisoner of my own biography: I can't help but view the American experience through the lens of a black man of mixed heritage, forever mindful of how generations of people who looked like me were subjugated and stigmatized, and the subtle and not so subtle ways that race and class continue to shape our lives." – from the prologue of The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming The American Dream
A man who expels the portrait of Winston Churchill from the White House and calls off prosecution of racists who hindered voters in the 2008 election is not your typical American.

James Carville is an "ally of President Obama," but he is learning the hard way who this man is that he helped into the White House.
Carville is an expert on politics. When talking about the BP desaster, he says the "political stupidity of this is unbelievable." And he goes on to say the Obama needed to send somebody down to New Orleans and take control of the situation. But, so far President Obama has failed to do so.
Could Obama's lack of response have anything to do with the campaign contributions he received from BP (click here)? Or was he worried about missing a tee time?

Hope and Change
Barack Obama has definitely delivered on one of his campaign slogan promises. He's delivered on the promise of change. What he has failed to deliver on is the promise of hope. Where's the hope for jobs, the hope for the economy, the hope for the American worker?
He boasted of his abilities to lead with statements like: "In twenty years of public service I have brought Democrats and Republicans together to solve the problems that touch the lives of everyday people." But today we find ourselves asking where is this great leadership ability.

"Obama The Great?"
That's the headline of the Wall Street Journal article that questions the Siena College poll of 238 "presidential scholars."
Barack Obama had barely settled in office when he won a Nobel Peace Prize. Though he's been in the job fewer than 18 months, liberal scholars are already rating him one of our better presidents, finishing ahead of even Ronald Reagan on 20 attributes ranging from legislative accomplishments to integrity. – WSJ
The liberals were snowed by Obama's Hope and Change promises from the start. And many have yet to wake up.When a poll is given to a group with more balanced ideologue the answers are very different.
The Journal's survey polled an ideologically balanced group of 85 historians, political scientists, law professors and economists, whose range of political views was similar to that of Americans as a whole. The results? Three presidents were ranked as "great": George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt. Eight presidents were ranked "near great," including Ronald Reagan, who finished eighth. John F. Kennedy was ranked 18th and Lyndon Johnson was ranked 17th, and those were the only high points for recent presidents.
Obviously, the 2005 Journal survey didn't rate Mr. Obama. But given the direction of the economy since he took office, a conspicuous absence of foreign policy successes and his falling public approval ratings, it's doubtful that his preliminary grade among Journal scholars would be nearly as high as the respondents in the Siena poll. – WSJ
The majority of the United States population is beginning to wake up. Quality of life is improving for very few people as a lot of promises are failing to be met.
2008 Campaign Ad:
"In twenty years of public service I have brought Democrats and Republicans together to solve the problems that touch the lives of everyday people. I've taken on the drug and insurance companies and won! I defy the politics of the moment and opposed the war in Iraq before it began."
Changes so far…
It is now 2010. What changes has Barack Obama made so far? How are they impacting you?

Does Obama have anyone studying economic history?
It seems the most powerful man in the world could come up with the resources to review history and see what has pulled our economy out of downturns in the past. But, it is obvious that Obama has not taken such a step.
The administration's stimulus program has failed. Growth is slow and unemployment remains high. The president, his friends and advisers talk endlessly about the circumstances they inherited as a way of avoiding responsibility for the 18 months for which they are responsible.
But they want new stimulus measures—which is convincing evidence that they too recognize that the earlier measures failed. And so the U.S. was odd-man out at the G-20 meeting over the weekend, continuing to call for more government spending in the face of European resistance.
The contrast with President Reagan's antirecession and pro-growth measures in 1981 is striking. Reagan reduced marginal and corporate tax rates and slowed the growth of nondefense spending. Recovery began about a year later. After 18 months, the economy grew more than 9% and it continued to expand above trend rates.
Two overarching reasons explain the failure of Obamanomics. First, administration economists and their outside supporters neglected the longer-term costs and consequences of their actions. Second, the administration and Congress have through their deeds and words heightened uncertainty about the economic future. High uncertainty is the enemy of investment and growth.
Most of the earlier spending was a very short-term response to long-term problems. One piece financed temporary tax cuts. This was a mistake, and ignores the role of expectations in the economy. Economic theory predicts that temporary tax cuts have little effect on spending. Unless tax cuts are expected to last, consumers save the proceeds and pay down debt. Experience with past temporary tax reductions, as in the Carter and first Bush presidencies, confirms this outcome. – Allan Meltzer – Wall Street Journal – June 30, 2010
Obama's first stimulus package failed. If it hadn't, then he would not be seeking more stimulus measures. So it seems someone in the administration would borrow a play from a previous game plan that has worked in the past.
Uncertainty Halts Investment
"Temporary" doesn't build confidence in anything. Investors need a reason to invest. And they don't invest for the short term. They need assurance that they can invest money, balance risk and return, and get to keep a major portion of what they earn. And they need that assurance over an extended period of time.
A Challenge to Obama Supporters:
If you had $1 billion, how would you invest it? What kind of return would you expect to get?

Hope and Change Should Include Private Sector Jobs
Paying people to do nothing will not work forever. Eventually we run out of goods and services. Our economy must have jobs. It must produce. And if we want to remain a free nation, then those jobs must come from the private sector.
Extending Unemployment Benefits Will Not Work
We must give people the incentive to work. Otherwise, people will not work. Individuals are electing to take unemployment benefits vs. taking jobs.
Management Recruiters of Sacramento, Calif., says it recently had a tough time filling six engineering positions at an Oregon manufacturer paying $60,000 a year—and suspects long-term jobless benefits were part of the hitch.
"We called several engineers that were unemployed," says Karl Dinse, a managing partner at the recruiting firm. "They said, nah, you know, if it were paying $80,000 I'd think about it." Some candidates suggested he call them back when their benefits were scheduled to run out, he says. – Wall Street Journal 7-7-10
Businesses Need Incentive To Create Jobs
Business has over $2 trillion available to invest ( WSJ Video: Long Recession Ignites Debate on Jobless Benefits). The questions is "Why aren't they investing it?" Answer: They don't know what will happen to their profits. Threats of taking money from successful businesses and investors have been made by Barack Obama since he started his campaign prior to the 2008 election.
National Leaders Must Promote Business
Obama and his followers must promote growth in the economy. That requires the growth of business. That requires an incentive for businesses to invest their money. We will not get businesses to invest their $2 trillion until they are assured that they will get a return on that investment. That will come when they are assured that their profits will not be taken by the US government. The real question is "Can this happen under President Barack Obama?"

Obama's Lack Of Leadership Experience Is Showing
Barack Obama's lacking in leadership capabilities continues to present itself. Concerning the BP oil spill in his June 15, 2010 oval office address, Obama states: "But the one approach I will not accept is inaction." But Obama's inaction is what stands out in the time it took him to approach BP about the oil spill problem. But, there may be a reason for that delay. BP gave $3.5 million to federal candidates with "the largest chunk of their money going to Obama." (Click here for our May 6th blog on that issue).
Our nation needs a president who is a true leader. And a true leader would have contacted Tony Hayward, BPs CEO, early in the crisis and learned what actions were being taken. A true leader would have spoken to the CEO directly during the meeting at the White House. A true leader would keep in contact with him on a daily basis.
"Obama met for 20 minutes with the group of BP executives, then individually in the Oval Office for another 25 minutes with Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg… BP CEO Tony Hayward did not have any direct one-on-one contact with President Obama during Wednesday's White House meeting." –CNN.
Our president doesn't know difference between the roll of the board chairman vs. that of the CEO. It's doubtful that Obama and his staff learned all that they needed to from the BP staff in the 45 minutes of contact time they had with them. And it is probably a safe bet that the administration did most of the talking during the meeting. In which case, they probably didn't learn anything. This is eerily familiar to the lack of contact Obama has had with our military leadership overseas.
God forbid we interrupt his golf game.

Daniel P. Siewiorek Formally Named QoLT Center Director
Following a nine-month national search process, Daniel P. Siewiorek has formally been named the Director of the Quality of Life Technology (QoLT) Center – a National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Pittsburgh (PITT) focused on creating intelligent systems that improve quality of life for everyone while enabling older adults and people with disabilities. Siewiorek, the Buhl University Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science at CMU, is a world-leading expert in computer system architecture and design of intelligent human-computer interfaces.
During the Fall of 2011, Siewiorek assumed the position of Acting Director of the QoLT Center at the request of Takeo Kanade, Director Emeritus, who then sought a temporary leave of absence. Siewiorek remained Acting Director since then, leading the QoLT Center through a successful NSF Grant Renewal period and further establishing the Center's legacy through a series of milestone publications in 2012 spanning academic, science and industry contexts.
"I am honored to take up leadership of the Quality of Life Technology Center as I have long been enthusiastic about the personal opportunities QoLT provides to help our older adults retain their dignity and independence," said Siewiorek. "The challenges of aging and disability are inspiring a whole cadre of interdisciplinary-minded researchers – engineers, scientists, and clinicians – who are highly collaborative, well-integrated, and driven to produce QoLTs – an exciting new field of intelligent systems that will ultimately enable better quality of life for all."
The National Science Foundation requested the completion of a national search for a Center Director in September 2012. University and departmental officials at CMU jointly agreed to complete the search as a testament to the University's support of the QoLT Center's mission and its unique contributions to science and humanity.
Reid Simmons, Research Professor in CMU's School of Computer Science, Robotics Institute and Co-Director of the QoLT Center's Education, Outreach and Diversity team, formed and chaired a director search committee which consisted of faculty from CMU and PITT along with members of QoLT's science and industry advisory boards. Several external candidates were interviewed before the committee finally decided on Siewiorek.
Siewiorek is abundantly qualified to take up the responsibilities of Center Director. He formerly served as co-founder and Associate Director for the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (ICES), which began as the Engineering Design Research Center (itself a former NSF ERC); he was also the Director of CMU's Human Computer Interaction Institute (HCII); and, he currently remains a founding Chairman of the IEEE Technical Committee on Wearable Information Systems. Siewiorek has lead interdisciplinary teams that designed and constructed over 20 generations of mobile computing systems. His achievements span four decades of experience in parallel processing, computer architecture, reliable computing, design automation, and more. His publications include nine textbooks and over 475 papers.
Said Siewiorek, "My wife and I watched our own parents age in assisted living and nursing homes. We saw their health and capabilities decline firsthand; we witnessed their efforts to help each other compensate for individual shortcomings; and we observed directly the enormous toll that is often placed on caregivers. Their enduring, human spirit is what originally motivated me to focus my research on creating a new breed of assistive technologies."
Siewiorek will continue to oversee the QoLT Center's Virtual Coach (VC) Testbed Systems, a new generation of attentive, personalized systems that provide cognitive assistance based on an awareness of a user's activities, contexts and abilities. Virtual Coaches continuously monitor the user's activities and surroundings, detect situations where intervention is desirable, offer prompt assistance and provide appropriate feedback and encouragement. Example Virtual Coach systems include a Stroke Rehabilitation Therapy Coach that motivates users to comply with prescribed rehabilitation exercises through virtual gaming elements; a MemExerciser device that facilitates memory recall among people with dementia; and an Exercise Coach that detects and guides users to correct physical form using helpful visual and audio cues during exercise.
Dr. Rory A. Cooper, Co-Director of the QoLT Center and FISA and Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) Chair and Distinguished Professor of the Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology at the University of Pittsburgh, remarked,"I am very pleased with the decision to appoint Dan as the Director of the NSF-ERC QoLT Center. He has the experience, expertise, and demeanor to lead the ERC. We have an excellent working relationship; and, I have complete confidence that together we will ensure the long term success of the QoLT Center."
The Quality of Life Technology Center was founded in 2006 to explore the development of intelligent systems that augment body and mind functions, maintain health and well-being, prevent or slow decline, compensate for diminished human capabilities and enhance intact ones. In contrast to other smart devices, QoLT's are uniquely marked by emphasis on human-system symbiosis – an emerging approach to universal design that seeks to assure human and engineered components are mutually dependent and working together collaboratively towards task completion. QoLT leverages state-of-the-art expertise in computation, sensing, robotics, machine learning, communication, social sciences, design and more to enable its disruptive paradigm. Originally conceived with older adults and people with disabilities in mind, the QoLT Center now enables intelligent technologies that better the everyday lives of all people.
About the QoLT Center:
The Quality of Life Technology Center is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) focused on the development of intelligent systems that improve quality of life for everyone while enabling older adults and people with disabilities. The QoLT Center addresses the needs and activities of everyday living by prototyping personal and assistive robots, cognitive and behavioral virtual coaches, safe mobility and driver assistance technologies, and human health and wellness monitoring, awareness and assistance solutions for home or community. QoLT Research emphasizes human-system interaction with attention to social, clinical and policy factors for consumer deployment and user adoption. In addition to R&D, the Center offers educational programs, commercialization initiatives and unique partnership opportunities. The QoLT Center is a collaborative partnership of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. (www.qolt.org)

Penn State report to fuel civil, criminal proceedings
A scathing review of Penn State University's initial handling of reports that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had sexually abused children on campus is likely to fuel ongoing criminal and civil investigations into the university's conduct, legal analysts say.
Among the most consequential findings in the report released Thursday by former FBI director Louis Freeh is a detailed account of how top university officials dealt with a 2001 report that Sandusky had sexually abused a young boy in a university locker-room shower.
The incident is at the heart of a pending criminal trial in which Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley, now on leave, and retired vice president Gary Schultz are charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to report the incident to law enforcement authorities. A trial date has not yet been set.
The two administrators, who have denied any wrongdoing, said they were never told by football assistant Michael McQueary, the only witness to the incident, that Sandusky was engaged in sexual conduct with a boy believed to be as young as 10. McQueary, a key prosecution witness in Sandusky's criminal trial that resulted in his conviction last month, said he told administrators that the former coach's conduct was "extremely sexual.''
While Freeh's report does not reconcile the differing accounts, fomer Philadelphia prosecutor Christopher Mallios said the document shows that officials — along with former Penn State president Graham Spanier and former head football coach Joe Paterno— were "motivated'' not to report the incident as required by state law to "avoid negative publicity.''
Freeh's report said a "critical written correspondence'' uncovered earlier this year contained evidence of a proposed plan to report to law enforcement authorities the 2001 incident.
"After Mr. Curley consulted with Mr. Paterno, however, they changed the plan and decided not to make a report to the authorities,'' the report said. "Their failure to protect the … child victim, or make attempts to identify him, created a dangerous situation for other unknown, unsuspecting young boys who were lured to the Penn State campus and football games by Sandusky and victimized repeatedly by him.''
Citing witness statements and other evidence, Freeh's investigators concluded that university officials acted "in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity.''
"The most powerful leaders at Penn State University — Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley — repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large,'' the report said.
"This report provides significant insight into what evidence will likely be presented at the trial" of Curley and Schultz, Mallios said.
Attorneys for Sandusky's eight known victims who testified at the former coach's trial last month said the Freeh Report provides a road map as they prepare to launch their own civil lawsuits against the university.
"While this is a good starting point, there is a lot of work to be done to support the conclusions reached in Mr. Freeh's report,'' said attorney Joel Feller, whose firm represents three of the eight victims. "This is just the start.''

text: The Voice turns up the volume as 10.7m tune in for week four BBC talent show adds another 1.2 million viewers, easily beating Britain's Got Talent in the overnight ratings Comments Written By 10:40 AM, 15 April 2012 The Voice attracted an average audience of 10.7 million viewers (a 46 per cent share) last night between 7pm and 8:20pm on BBC1 and BBC1 HD, its largest numbers so far. The singing show added a further 1.2 million viewers from the previous week and has increased its audience by 2.3 million from the opening show, watched by 8.4 million viewers. Britain's Got Talent could only manage 9.6 million viewers (a 35 per cent share) on ITV1 and ITV1 HD between 8pm and 9:15pm. A further 500,000 people tuned in an hour later to see Simon Cowell's talent show on ITV1 +1. In the 20-minute period where the shows overlapped, The Voice once again easily outdid its talent show rival. The BBC programme averaged 11.8m viewers between 8pm and 8:20pm, more than double the 5.8 million that BGT could muster in the same period. The Voice audience peaked at 12.1 million viewers in the final section of the show as the coaches finalised their teams of 10 ahead of next weekend's "battle rounds" double bill on Saturday and Sunday night. BGT peaked slightly higher, with 12.2 million viewers on ITV1 and ITV1 HD. On Wednesday ITV moved BGT to avoid a clash with The Voice next Saturday night, a decision that looks very sensible considering the huge growth in the BBC show's audience in the past month. With the most novel element of The Voice, the "blind auditions", now over it will be interesting to see whether the audiences continue to stay wed to the friendly BBC show once the more aggressive "battle rounds" element is introduced. Equally, will the six live finals, which despite retaining a team element are very close to The X Factor in format, continue to enthuse punters – or will they begin to suffer from 'seen-it-before' talent show fatigue? However, even if the ratings have peaked at this stage (which seems unlikely to be the case), Danny Cohen and the BBC will be more than happy that their £22 million gamble on a bought-in format has paid off. Mr Cowell, on the other hand, will surely be continuing to worry. Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

WTB E46 01-03 xi VA
Looking to buy an e46 xi with around 150k miles on it, appropriately priced. Willing to drive a decent distance for the right car.
Considering selling my '01 330xi, 163k and a few upgrades
3 Attachment(s)
Hey, I was looking around on the classifieds to get a feel for the market on xi's. I've been toying with the idea of selling mine. I like the car, but it's just one more mouth to feed. I live in the Hampton Roads area and my schedule is pretty flexible (especially next week) if you want to see or drive the car. Here's some info on it:
2001 330xi
163k miles
Steel Blue Metallic
Grey Leather interior
OEM Style 79 17" Wheels with Conti Extreme Contact DWS tires (<5k on tires)
Sport Package
Cold Weather Package
HK Premium Sound System
HID headlights
Dynamic Stability Control
Cold A/C, Cruise, Power everything, heated seats, etc.
Upgrades and Changes:
H&R Sport Springs with matching Bilstein shocks*
*Except Driver's Side Rear, which was replaced before I bought it with a cheap off-the-shelf shock (I can't tell that it affects the handling).
EBC Slotted and Dimpled Front Rotors with Ceramic Pads
EBC Rear Rotors with High-Performance pads
(rotors and pads have <10kmiles)
Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake Tube and High-Flow filter
RUFUS sport muffler (has a nice tone to it without being overbearing)
Lightly tinted windows all around (5% I think, it's not much)
Leather shift knob
2005 (MP3 and Sirius compatible) CD player with Aux Input line
PowerFlex Polyurethane Front Control Arm Bushings (<10k miles ago)
Cold-Weather CCV Valve
New Alternator (Spring 2010, <15k miles ago)
New Oil Pan Gasket (not installed)
New Short Shifter (not installed)
Custom Painted wheels (Gloss Medium Grey on the spokes with a machined lip)
Phosphyre Angel Eyes (only have two rings, one around each high-beam headlamp)
New Bosch Platinum +4 spark plugs (just put them in yesterday and MAN what a difference)
Fresh oil change just the other day
The problems:
Only one fog light works and I've not looked at it to see what the problem is. It might just be a bulb.
It has a faulty oil level sensor (common problem for these cars) and the oil level warning light comes on briefly every time you start the car despite having the proper oil level.
The power steering reservoir and hoses leak enough to leave a light residue after 500 miles or so of driving.
It has an expected amount of oil leaks and oil usage (uses about 1 qt every 500 miles)
Two very minor, quarter-sized, rust spots. One at the trunk latch and one under the front lip of the hood on the driver's side (neither is very noticeable or hard to fix, I just haven't gotten around to it yet)
Minor water leaks during very heavy rains that result in dampness in the driver's foot well (doesn't seem to be hurting anything, it's just a minor annoyance)
Cupholder in the console needs to be replaced, it doesn't stay put when you try to lift out a cup that fits tightly in the holder.
...And that's everything, honestly everything, that I know to be good and bad about the car. The thing is a dream to drive. The sport suspension is perfect, even on these pothole filled roads, it's firm but not too stiff. It's a great daily driver that gets an honest 28 mpg on the highway @ 70mph. I'm an ASE certified master tech if that helps any. I won't hide anything from you. I'm in no hurry to sell the car, so I've nothing to lose by telling all.
I'm asking $8,000, that's about what I have invested in the car right now. Check out my pics and let me know if you're interested. I can always send more pics, videos, info, or whatever you want.
Thank you for the reply unfortunately a little bit over my price range since you have all those mods. But very nice car.
Thanks for the compliment. Good luck with your search.

This drink is refreshing, Asian-inspired, and sure to impress your guests or that someone special!
Used different ingredients. couldnt find white cranberry used normal, was a little pink but tasted fine - 13 Nov 2010
delish - 13 Nov 2010
This is a great martini. For those who don't know what a lychee is, it's an asian fruit. To me, it tastes like grapefruit and pears, with the texture of a canned pear. The peach schnapps goes great with the lychee. I didn't have the white cranberry juice, so I just used all lychee juice. - 22 Mar 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

Following Kiwi Rails
de Chris Walters
Acerca del libro
In January 2010, writer/photographer Chris Walters toured the North and South Islands of New Zealand. In 16 days he drove an estimated 8,000 kilometres, travelled on six different trains and two ferries across and between both islands. Using the nation's sprawling railway network as a travel guide, Chris followed the tracks along oceans, into the mountains and through the cities. When they ended, he kept going until eventually meeting them again. From Milford Sound to the Bay of Plenty, from Wellington to Auckland, to Christchurch and Dunedin. Through Arthurs Pass and around the base of Mount Ruapehu, the journey was a true epic. Following Kiwi Rails is a document of this trek, from start to finish.

Toyota Highlander speaks softly, carries big stick
At the first press conference of the two-day media preview of the 2013 New York auto show, Toyota cautiously lead off with a base hit.
The reveal of the 2014 Highlander crossover comes at a fortuitous moment in what Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager of Toyota Motor Sales, labelled a "product renaissance". That rebirth comprises the freshening or introduction of seven models in the lineup of the world's largest automaker.
The Highlander was last revised nearly six years ago, subsequent to a revision of the Camry sedan, with which the crossover shares a platform. It plays a significant role in Toyota's lineup, competing against the likes of car-based crossover vehicles like the Honda Pilot and the new Nissan Pathfinder.
The new model scales up the exterior cues introduced on the remade-for-2013 RAV4, and its interior breaks little ground to those familiar with the cabin of the outgoing model. It also carries forward Toyota's extensive, acronym-centric roster of safety features relating to braking, traction and stability.
Scant data was released on the show floor about the third-generation Highlander's powertrain, but the new model will retain the current vehicle's 2.7-litre four-cylinder engine and optional 3.5-litre V-6, with power being routed to the drive wheels through a standard six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive will be standard across the board, and all-wheel drive available with the larger engine choice.
In New York, where Highlander Hybrid taxis roam the streets among battle-weary Ford Crown Victorias, also came the announcement that a gasoline-electric hybrid model will, not surprisingly, fill out the Highlander range. (But given Nissan secured an exclusive contract to provide its NV van to New York taxi drivers beginning late this year, don't expect the Highlander Hybrid to join the medallioned ranks.) Preliminary specifications note that the 2014 Highlander Hybrid will make use of a 3.5-litre V6 driving the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission, abetted by a high-torque electric motor driving the rear wheels. Output and fuel consumption figures are forthcoming, but it's safe to expect the new model will at least match the outgoing Highlander Hybrid's 28mpg city/28mpg highway.
Built exclusively at Toyota's factory in Indiana, the Highlander is expected to reach showrooms in early 2014, with pricing to be confirmed closer to its sale date. Though the Highlander's presence in New York may have seemed pro forma, Toyota has a well-documented history of transforming would-be base hits into inside-the-park home runs.
