Your BMW dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your 750Li. While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for BMW vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your automobile. Obviously, you didn't buy your 750Li unless you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and dependability both impeccably combined into one automobile. You purchased your 750Li because its a reputation for performance and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
Your BMW 750Li disc brake pads are the result of decades of innovation and testing on race tracks as an advanced means for stopping the vehicle. They provide a more effective style of braking through the application of friction than the brake shoes they eventually replaced. Your car or truck's brake pads are located inside the caliper, with one on each side of the rotor. Hydraulic pressure from your master cylinder is transferred to the caliper, and it pushes the disc brake pads against the rotor surface causing heat and friction. This transfer of energy slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Bring your 750Li back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. When your BMW needs the best replacement Disc Brake Pads, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount.

Dave Matthews Band's [3] video for "Mercy" embraces the song's themes of unity and harmony in a new collaborative video, made with the help of a few thousand fans.
According to the band, 14,334 people provided original photos and videos for the inspirational clip, a James Frost-directed mash-up video that features only glimpses of the band and focuses on the fans.
In the band's Billboard cover story [2], frontman Matthews said that "Mercy" is a song about "love of the world and merciful love." The song is the debut single from Dave Matthews Band's new album, Sept. 11's "Away From the World."
The band's upcoming eighth studio album follows 2009's "Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King," which has sold nearly 1.2 million copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. "Away From the World" also reunites the group with producer Steve Lillywhite, who worked on their first three albums.
Matthews told Billboard [2] that he hopes this release "inspires [people] to find the things that they love, inspires them to feel good, to feel love, or ambition, or feel powerful. Whatever they need."

Thanks for all the posts on restaurants in Silicon Valley. My lady and I have been systematically trying recommendations for the last six months (after researching all the posts), with a spotty record—mostly misses, very few hits. It's hard to filter out all the noise, since a restaurant rarely or never has a menu full of great dishes. Even a tasting menu at the French Laundry or El Bulli is littered with hits and misses for a discerning palate. In an effort to "quiet the monkeys" I have a request for recommendations that would really help picky newcomers, like us: please post in rank order, the five (or fewer) best spots to eat with the specific best thing(s) to order.
For alignment, here are some of our favorites that have been recommended by the hounds:
1. Iberia in Menlo Park for patatas bravas--fried potatoes with a garlic sauce. (Other things that are good there off the small tapas menu: pork skewers, bacon wrapped dates, gazpacho, and their tempranillo red wine.)
2. Shanghai Family Restaurant in Mountain View for their thick Shanghai fried noodles. (Scallion pancakes, pot stickers are also good.)
3. El Grullense in Redwood City for carnitas tacos.
4. Jonathan's in Menlo Park for fried chicken and fried catfish (you can order them together; eat them with the hot sauce). (Other sides/items were not good that we've tried.)
5. Amber India in Mountain View for butter chicken (part of the buffet).
In response to posts (like the list above), it would be great to get the collected wisdom of the local hounds by noting items that might be "better." For instance, someone might post, "I think the carnitas tacos at El Grullense are OK, but they are better at...." Please only post the items you think are truly great and worth revisiting (fewer than five is fine, but we'd like to start with just five per person to force quality over quantity of recommendations).
For humoring this rather rigid request, we'll report back when we've tried out the items and restaurants—in ranked/stacked order. I'll also post under my own post here with our current findings to date.

Why are the PM's dangly bits more interesting than education?
If you want to know what is wrong with our news reporting in NZ, I have found the epitome this morning. Derek Cheng allows a Prime Ministerial quip about getting a vasectomy to trump the real news which was the goverment's change to early childhood education funding. Is anyone remotely surprised or even interested in whether or not the PM has had the snip? The rather sensible reforms to encourage trained ECE teachers to spread themselves around a bit more are far more worthy as news, but no!, the silly, the trivial, the genital, that is what excites our news hacks, and so that is the news we get!

This interview originally aired on The Local Take on April 1, 2017.
This week on The Local Take I speak with Maria Saporta founder of Saporta Report, an in depth journalistic news service with a focus on metro-Atlanta. I speak with Maria about several recent reports on the Westside including her conversations with Authur Blank (Owner Atlanta Falcons) and Dan Cathy (Owner Chick-Fil-A). She shares with our listeners her reporting on the Westside redevelopment master plan that was led by Dhiru Thadani and a project involving the Atlanta University Center and the Federal Government to address flooding on the Westside.
As a native of Atlanta, Maria also shares her desires for the Westside including the former Paschal's Hotel and the Herndon Home. She explains that change is coming and that residents should harness the change to benefit the community as well as the city.

It's gotten to be a thing… What hat is A.J. Robinson, president of Central Atlanta Progress, going to wear at the organization's annual meeting. At CAP's meeting on March 14, Robinson wore a model of the Hyatt Regency Atlanta – complete with the blue Polaris lounge on top. They made the hat to commemorate the Hyatt's 50th anniversary, which will be celebrated in early May. The Hyatt Regency, designed by Atlanta architect John Portman, revolutionized hotel design in the United States by having a dramatic indoor atrium. Before joining CAP in 2003, Robinson was an executive with the Portman organization. By the way, CAP's 2017 annual meeting was held at the Hyatt Regency (Photo by Maria Saporta)

The Covenant House, a refuge for homeless youth, holds a unique fundraiser every year.
It invites community leaders to sleep outdoors so they can get a taste of what it's like to be homeless. The fifth annual "Sleep Out" happened Nov. 17, when a hundred Atlanta leaders slept outdoors on the campus in Northwest Atlanta.
For one night, it was hard to tell the difference between the homeless and the CEO.
Executives dressed down wanted to be as comfortable as they could for a night sleeping outdoors in the elements.
Governor Nathan Deal and First Lady Sandra Deal made an appearance early in the evening to show encouragement and support.
You might recognize some of the names of those who braved the night – Paul Garcia, the retired CEO of Global Payments; Bill Rogers, the CEO of SunTrust Banks Inc.; public relations executive Bob Hope; Jerome Russell of H.J. Russell & Co.; Clark Dean of Transwestern; civic leader Valerie Hartman; Coca-Cola North America President Sandy Douglas; film-maker David Lewis and his wife, Danica Kombol; and Gary Price, of the PwC accounting firm, flew in from New York to participate.
Delta Air Lines – a national sponsor of the Covenant House Sleep Outs – even recruited its employees in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Detroit and Toronto.
Atlanta sponsors donated about $425,000 to Covenant House, as leaders stepped into the shoes of the homeless for a night.
Those funds will help Covenant House reach homeless youth in Atlanta, which total more than 3,000, according to Executive Director Allison Ashe.
Leaders and residents huddled together, candles were lit to represent young people still living on the streets. And a list of names of the homeless, lost and fallen was read aloud.
And that's when reality set in. We reflected on comforts we have, while working toward a better understanding those who have-not.

The Nov. 8 election produced a major win for MARTA. Nearly 130,000 Atlanta voters, or 71.34 percent, approved a half-penny sales tax to expand MARTA within the city limits.
At the same time, the city voted to increase overall transportation funding by a .4 of a penny sales tax.
This is in addition to the one-cent sales tax that the city of Atlanta has been investing in the MARTA system since 1971 – when Fulton and DeKalb counties also voted in favor of the regional transit system.
Since then, only one new county has joined the system – Clayton County in 2014.
Atlanta's vote will create a wider divide in our region between the transit rich and the transit poor – the communities with a robust rail and bus system and the communities without.
The city has been enjoying the benefits from its investment in MARTA in recent years. Most of the major economic development announcements have been located near MARTA stations, and most of those have been within the city limits. Think NCR Corporation, GE, Kaiser Permanente, among many others.
The counties without a rail transit system are seeing several of their top companies relocating to places served by MARTA, reversing the decades-long trend of businesses moving to the suburbs.
So why are companies moving near MARTA stations?
Simple. They want to employ the best and the brightest college graduates, and that demographic wants to be able to live, work, learn and play in places where they do not need to own a car.
There are few areas in our region that provide the transportation alternatives that Atlanta offers. And that divide will only become more apparent as MARTA and the City of Atlanta begin to invest their new half-penny in expanded bus service and light rail lines.
This parallels continued investments in sidewalks, bicycle lanes and multipurpose trails – all key ingredients in creating a more walkable and livable city.
Meanwhile, the rest of Fulton County, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett passed local sales taxes to invest in transportation – primarily roads – which will only deepen the transit divide.
The longer Atlanta's neighbors hesitate in joining our regional transit system, the more we will become a tale of two cities.

Two Atlanta business leaders have launched a new effort – the Atlanta Friendship Initiative – aimed at bridging divides in our community.
The idea is for two people of different races or ethnic backgrounds to agree to become friends. They pledge to see each other once a quarter and bring their families together once a year in fellowship.
Bill Nordmark, an Atlanta business consultant and former president of the Rotary Club of Atlanta, had become increasingly concerned about the state of race relations here and incidents of violence between the police and citizens around the country.
He reached out to John Grant, the former CEO of 100 Black Men of Atlanta, and asked if they could become friends.
The two men then set out on a mission to get others to join their cause. Since September, the two civic leaders have been able foster a total of 47 pairs of friends. That means there are 94 metro Atlanta leaders – black, white, male, female, Islamic, Jewish, Christian – who are proactively reaching out to people different from themselves.
Grant told Nordmark he felt God's hand in the establishment of the Atlanta Friendship Initiative. Grant said he was familiar with how the now-defunct Atlanta Action Forum had played a similar role among the city's black and white business leaders during the 1970s and 1980s. But the city has changed, and the business community is now more transient.
Nordmark and Grant, however, say they've been encouraged by the response. Almost everyone they've approached has embraced the idea and joined the self-directed initiative to build friendships across society's divides.
Ed Baker, the former publisher of the Atlanta Business Chronicle who is now with Georgia State's Robinson College of Business, had been talking with Nordmark about similar concerns for years. Not only has Baker become one of the friendship pairs, he said the Robinson College of Business will provide administrative support for the initiative.
Nordmark says he hopes civic organizations, churches, businesses and nonprofits will adopt the initiative. He already has reserved domain names for the America Friendship Initiative and the International Friendship Initiative.
As Nordmark said: "What better place to start this than Atlanta?"

As part of France-Atlanta, an exhibition and program is being presented called "Cartooning for Peace: The of Art of Democracy." Three world-renowned press cartoonists participated in the program – Jean "Plantu" Plantureux with Le Monde, France, Michel Kichka with Courrier International who is based in Israel, and our own Mike Luckovich with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Ten years ago, Cartooning for Peace was born. Plantu of Le Monde worked with then U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan on a seminar called "Unlearning Intolerance." It included 12 famous editorial cartoonists from around the world.
Since then, Plantu has come to Atlanta several times – joining his colleague Luckovich – Atlanta's Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist.
And this October, Cartooning for Peace brought together Plantu, Luckovich and Kichka.
They helped kick off an outdoor exhibit of Cartooning for Peace cartoonists, part of the Atlanta arts initiative – ELEVATE.
Louis de Corail, the consul general of France in Atlanta, welcomed the cartoonists for lunch at his residence where the conversation centered around the presidential election and the amount of political unrest in the world today.
At one point, Luckovich asked Plantu if he had known the cartoonists who worked for the Charlie Hebdo newspaper who were gunned down by radical extremists.
Plantu bowed his head calmly naming all his friends who were killed that day.
Cartooning for Peace is the antidote of such events. More than 140 cartoonists are bridging international barriers to find engaging and provocative ways to promote free speech in a democratic society.
Political cartoons create a valuable space for dialogue, reflection and tolerance by using humor, satire and irony to evoke thought and freedom of expression.
The cartoonists had just met with students of the Atlanta Public Schools and Georgia Tech, and they were impressed by how engaged they were in current affairs, including the U.S. presidential race.
At one point, Luckovich said he has an easier job when he disagrees with a president, saying it was harder to make fun of Barack Obama than of George W. Bush. But then Luckovich added, he would rather have a good president than an easy job.

Grady Hospital dedicated the Marcus Trauma and Emergency Center on Oct. 5 in recognition of philanthropy of Billi and Bernie Marcus, a co-founder of the Home Depot.
In all, the Marcus couple have given a total of $50 million to Grady, which also went to the establishment of the Marcus Stroke and Neuroscience Center.
The biggest disappointment in Bernie Marcus' life was when he was accepted to Harvard's medical school, because his family could not afford the $10,000 tuition.
And he wasn't eligible for a scholarship because Harvard had already met its 10 percent quota of Jewish students.
Marcus had to set aside his dream of becoming a doctor and settled on becoming a pharmacist.
"I could have been somebody," Marcus joked with me at the Grady dedication ceremony.
Marcus did become somebody. After being fired from Handy Dan, a home center retailer, Marcus and his colleague, Arthur Blank, decided to launch their own chain of home improvement mega stores.
The chain, Home Depot, was founded in Atlanta in 1978 and the two became billionaires.
But Marcus never forgot his first dream – of saving lives.
He and his wife have donated generously to Marcus Autism Center, Piedmont Hospital, the Shepherd Center and to Grady Hospital.
Marcus described his missed opportunity to become a doctor as "bashert," which is Yiddish for "destiny."
His contributions to Grady and the dedication of the Marcus Trauma and Emergency Center has helped fulfill his destiny.
Bernie Marcus was destined to save people's lives.

The American Planning Association on Monday declared Midtown Atlanta as one of five neighborhoods to make the APA's 2016 list of Great Places in the country.
The City of Atlanta and the Midtown community held a pop-up celebration on this designation on Tuesday at the northeast corner of 10th and Peachtree streets.
APA's Great Places list celebrates places that demonstrate exceptional character, composition, and planning—attributes that foster community ties, spur economic growth, and raise the bar for quality of life. Recognition is given for best practices in community planning, execution, facility design, public safety, infrastructure, cultural identity, innovation and environmental sustainability.

For decades, Gwinnett County has had opportunities to join MARTA and build rail service, but voters have turned down every proposal so far.
Rev. Harriett Bradley missed her bus transfer to get from Norcross to Lawrenceville so she ended up taking Uber to get to the Sierra Club transit forum earlier this month.
Atlanta was divided from 1960 to 1991 – the road builders versus the road busters.
Plans existed to build Interstate-485 through the heart of Virginia-Highland and to build a Stone Mountain Tollway that would have cut through the Druid Hills community and the historic Olmsted Linear Parks on Ponce de Leon.

More than 700 people from around the country descended on Atlanta from Sept. 7 to Sept. 9 to attend the International Development Association meeting at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. The event harkened back to 1977 – the last time the IDA came to Atlanta. At the time, Dan Sweat, who was heading Central Atlanta Progress, hosted the organization.
Downtowns have changed dramatically in the four decades since the last time the International Downtown Association met in Atlanta.
For instance, the organization's members were the top executives of downtown groups – and at the time, they were all male. So Atlanta put together a "ladies program" for the spouses. Dan Sweat's wife – Tally Sweat –helped organize the program.
Today, the association's members include staff members in addition to top executives and industry consultants – and a large portion of the attendees were women.
Richard Bradley was president of the association in the 1980s. He remembered journalists calling when downtown department stores started closing and asking him whether their downtowns were dying.
Bradley optimistically told them downtowns were changing.
In the 1970s and 1980s, stores and businesses were moving away from central cities as suburbs were booming.
Today, downtowns are rebounding. More people want to live and work in urban centers – choosing authentic and historic locations rather than cookie-cutter suburbs.
The lingo also has also changed. Now downtown leaders talk about "place making" and creating experiences – a sharp contrast from the previous perception that downtowns were dirty, dangerous and dull.
Richard Bradley's efforts have come full circle. He was recently presented with the IDA's Dan Sweat Lifetime Achievement Award. One of the people presenting the 2016 award was Sweat's widow – Tally Sweat.
When the Atlanta-Fulton County Recreation Authority announced a deal to sell the 67-acre Turner Field property, it chose to make the announcement next to the statue of Hank Aaron hitting his 715th home run.
Although the Atlanta Braves will be moving to Cobb County after this season, the Hank Aaron statue will remain in the city.

Helen Smith Price could not have been more prepared when she was tapped in April to become the new president of The Coca-Cola Foundation.
Price has served as executive director of the foundation since 2001, joining the company in 1993. As the protégé of her predecessor, Ingrid Saunders Jones, she also has seen how the Foundation has evolved over the years.
Original Story on WABE by Maria Saporta
The city of Atlanta and MARTA are planning major transportation investments in two separate sales tax referendums that will go before voters in November.
If approved, both taxes would generate hundreds of millions of dollars a year for a myriad of improvements including expanded streetcar or light rail lines, improved bus services, new multi-use trails and road upgrades into complete streets.
But one project missing from the plans is for a Peachtree streetcar.
The city of Atlanta has had a rocky experience with reintroduction of the streetcar.
Some question why the new streetcar followed an east-west tourist route from Centennial Olympic Park to the King Center.
The project was envisioned to be part of a larger system that would have had a streetcar going up and down Peachtree Street from downtown to Buckhead.
When the city was not awarded federal funds to build the entire system, it had to build the east-west loop first for the streetcar maintenance facility located under the Downtown Connector.
The assumption was the Peachtree streetcar would be next – connecting the main activity centers in the city.
The most recent transportation plans show all kinds of lines for light rail in the city. But the Peachtree streetcar is not one of them.
How shortsighted. One of the biggest jabs against the existing Atlanta streetcar is that few people ride it – especially since the city began charging a $1 fare.
By comparison, a Peachtree Streetcar would generate more riders than any other route in the city because of the existing developments. While part of the route parallels the MARTA rail line, the two transit systems would serve different functions.
The heavy rail carries people on longer trips at a rapid speed. The streetcar would serve people going shorter distances who want to jump on and off to go to shops, restaurants, clubs, offices, hotels, condos and apartments along the corridor.
There also are stretches of Peachtree without rail transit – from the Arts Center MARTA Station to the Buckhead MARTA Station, a route that includes Piedmont Hospital and Peachtree Battle.
The good news? These plans are not carved in stone. As Atlanta grows, people who are now skeptical of a Peachtree streetcar will be begging for a better way to move up and down our signature street.
Original Story on WABE by Maria Saporta
Manuel's Tavern is being refurbished inside and out.
The Coca-Cola Company is restoring the painted Coke sign that has graced the tavern's wall for decades.
A hundred years ago, one of Coca-Cola's top advertising tools was painting larger-than-life signs on the sides of buildings all over the country.
Those signs, painted by specialists who used a stencil provided by the Coca-Cola Company, fell out of favor as billboards started popping up on major roadways.
As time went on, the paint on those walls began to chip and fade, and those advertisements got a new name – ghost signs.
Coca-Cola Company archivist Ted Ryan said the wall-painted signs are making a comeback with the preservation of older buildings.
The company decides which paintings to restore on a case-by-case basis depending on the location, the customer and the building's significance.
It didn't hurt that Manuel's has been a longtime customer in Coca-Cola's hometown.
When Manuel's Tavern shut down for renovations at the end of last year, it began exploring a possible restoration of its Coca-Cola sign.
The company said it would pay for the restoration – bringing Jack Fralin, an expert sign painter from Virginia.
The restoration is under way, with the existing image being blasted from the exterior brick wall. And Fralin will hand-paint the new sign to its previous Coca-Cola glory.
The tavern's owner Brian Maloof said the sign has been a landmark for people looking for the tavern.
Instead of playing much of an advertising role, these signs actually evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of a simpler time.
Manuel's should reopen in the first week of August.

DTI has a good work life balance. I really appreciate that the company allows flexibility in your workday and PTO. My co-workers are easy to work with, and I feel supported by DTI managers.
Because of this, I doubt if I will be able to work here for very long. But for the time being, I'm enjoying learning new things and picking up a few skills.
I only wish the pay was a bit higher.
Advice to Management
DTI has been a great place to work. Keep hiring great people!
I worked at Dedicated Technologies full-time
Close to downtown. Going home.
Poor management ran by a forgetful and overbearing person. No freedom to do your job, which makes it harder than it already is. Personal privacy is obviously something that is not taken seriously. Overall delusional staff.
Advice to Management
Given the downfall of the company, it is best to cut your losses and close up shop.
Helpful (2)
I have worked as a Digital Accessibility SME/consultant for 20 years and Dedicated is by far the best staffing agency I have had the pleasure to work with. They are truly invested in their consultants and their community.
I wish they partnered with JPMC, but I am confident that they have their reasons not to.
Advice to Management
Keep up the great work.

The support staff is outstanding. You will always feel you have the full support of the company. They make an effort to keep you informed and make sure you feel included as an employee.
I don't really have any cons for DTI. It's a job, not everything is perfect but for the most part this company really went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed. There was a fair amount of paperwork but I don't think it was too burdensome.
Advice to Management
Keep it up! You guys are really doing a great job of running the company. There have been some changes to your consultant communications in the last year (client liaison) that I believe were cost saving measures - the impact was felt. Look to bring some of those elements back or to introduce new ways of seeing consultants.
Helpful (1)
Quality is very important to DTI, and the company is devoted to providing quality services to its clients.
I enjoy working for this company because of its focus on building a great culture. The company promotes a strong relationship with its consultants.
Could expand to more clients outside the greater Columbus area. The company already has the resources for it to expand.

You will work hard at Dedicated Technologies - if you don't like to work hard and reap the reward, this place may not be for you. That said, it's a satisfying place to work.
Advice to Management
Continue listening to your staff and consultants and supporting them. I am satisfied with the management at Dedicated Technologies.

PA'L KISS CONTINUES TO SET THE PACE DURING IN-SEASON TESTING AT CROFT Atech GP's Tama's Pa'l Kiss gave his title bid a further boost by setting the fastest time during official testing in the 2010 Michelin Formula Renault UK Championship at...
Atech GP's Tama's Pa'l Kiss gave his title bid a further boost by setting the fastest time during official testing in the 2010 Michelin Formula Renault UK Championship at Croft circuit on Tuesday, 11th May.
The 18-year-old Hungarian racer, who currently leads the drivers' standings, posted a best time of 1min 15.470s (101.36mph average) around the North Yorkshire track -- more than half a second faster than his nearest rival.
That spot belonged to Manor Competition's Lewis Williamson (Golspie, Scotland) who went second quickest for the day with CRS Racing's Harry Tincknell (Exeter) third fastest with both drivers lapping in the low 1min 16s.
The sun shone for the start of the morning session in which CRS Racing's Michael Lyons (Essex) was the surprise pace-setter for the session with a time of 1min 16.865s (99.52mph average) around the 2.1250-mile circuit which is the venue for rounds nine and 10 of the series. The 19-year-old just caught his tyres at the right time before light rain began to fall as the chequered flag went out to end the first session. Fortec Motorsport's Ollie Millroy (Claygate) went second quickest for the morning stint with two the only drivers to break into the 1min 16s.
Williamson and Tincknell also posted strong times before the lunch break as did CRS Racing's Robert Foster-Jones (Southend on Sea) and Graduate Cup driver Alex Lynn (Dunmow) in his Fortec Motorsport run car.
Despite a brief shower during the interval, the drivers were greeted with a dry track for the start of the afternoon session. Kiss looked strong from the start and with a fresh set of tyres on set the best time of the day on his penultimate lap of 31 run and be the only driver to dip into the 1min 15s -- 1.407s quicker than last year's pole time for the circuit.
Williamson and Tincknell also set their fastest times during the session with Manor Competition's Will Stevens (Oxshott) and Atech GP's Nick Yelloly (Solihull) rounding off the top five.
Lynn, who had looked quick all day, finished sixth fastest and the leading Graduate Cup driver while David McDonald (Ewell) ended the day seventh this time running with Fortec Motorsport.
The test session also saw cars from the Protyre Formula Renault BARC Championship join the Formula Renault UK competitors running without restrictors. SWB Motorsport's Luke Wright (Dorset) went quickest for the morning session with Hillspeed's James Theodore (Telford) recording the fastest time overall with a 1min 18.218s (97.80mph average).
Commenting on his performance Pa'l Kiss, who celebrates his 19th birthday next week, said: "I'm really pleased with the time but also a little surprised. We were aiming for low 1min 16s and didn't think we'd dip below that. The new tyres seemed to do the trick together with a great set up on the car."
Rounds seven and eight of the 2010 Michelin Formula Renault UK Championship take place at Oulton Park on 5th/6th June while the next two rounds (five and six) of the 2010 Protyre Formula Renault BARC Championship take place at Croft on 3rd/4th July.

Soft Noodle Map at Ochre House Is a Tasty Wonder
Carla Parker and Matthew Posey in Ochre House's Soft Noodle Map.
Karlo X. Ramos
On his 60th birthday, astronomy professor Ansel Barber sits on his roof, staring through a telescope at the heavens. One by one, his family and friends crawl out a dormer window and bring him down to earth for a night of dark revelry and confrontation in the new musical Soft Noodle Map, written and directed by and starring Matthew Posey at his tiny Ochre House.
Posey's scripts often play as if he starts the story well before the show begins. In this one, long-simmering squabbles focus on a daughter, Cordelia (Konnar Hunter), who's had a baby out of wedlock with a bum named Pooky (Josh David Jordan). Pooky might've also had a fling with Ansel's wife, Sarah (Carla Parker), so he's persona not-at-all grata when he turns up at the birthday party with a Mormon girl named Cricket (Danielle Bondurant).
Over the rooftop crawls twangy philosopher Elwood (Christian Taylor), spitting chaw juice into a plastic cup. Then comes a pill-popping doctor (Kevin Grammer) and his strung-out wife (Cassie Bann). Everybody sings moody, poetic songs written for the show by Bobby Fajardo, Jeff Keddy, Trey Pendergrass (who leads the four-piece band) and Deanna Valone. They don't sing well. But that hardly matters. The magic in Posey's work comes from the intimate setting -- his stage is the size of a king-sized bed -- and the intense commitment his actors project in making it all feel real.
There's a hint of King Lear in Ansel Barber, a touch of Jacques Brel in the music. Posey and company create a nice corner of the universe as they orbit their tiny stage. He writes about sad people who somehow make us happy to have met them.
Soft Noodle Map continues through February 21 at Ochre House, 825 Exposition Ave. Tickets, $15, at 214-826-6273 or at ochrehousetheater.com.

When most people are asked to identify dangerous drunk drivers, most would point to those who had several drinks before getting behind the wheel. At the very least, most people would say it would be necessary for the driver to reach the legal limit of .08 percent before he or she would be a threat to other drivers. However, a recent study published in Injury Prevention found that drivers that have consumed alcohol are dangerous at a level much lower than this.
The study, which was conducted by the University of California, San Diego, looked at 570,731 accidents that occurred between 1994 and 2001. To obtain the data, the researchers used the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, which is a national database containing the car accident details of those that resulted in the death of at least one person involved.
Using the database, the researchers zeroed in on car accidents where the driver had consumed alcohol. Since there have been many studies on the driving performance of those with a high blood alcohol content (BAC), the researchers only looked at accidents involving drivers with a BAC of .01 percent. As a point of reference, most drivers at this level have consumed about half a beer.
According to the findings, although drivers with a .01 BAC are very much below the legal limit, they are 46 percent more likely to be responsible for a fatal car accident than drivers that had consumed no alcohol. The research also made another interesting discovery: A driver's likelihood of being responsible for an accident increases steadily as his or her BAC increases. Previously, it was thought that a driver's risk of causing an accident jumped suddenly once a certain BAC threshold was hit.
The study's findings seem to prove that the laws setting the legal limit are based on unsound logic and are thus ineffective at preventing drunk driving accidents. Considering that a driver is 46 percent more likely to cause an accident at .01 BAC, it would naturally follow that once the legal limit of .08 percent was reached, the driver would be exponentially more dangerous. This study was not the first to reach this conclusion. Before this study was conducted, the National Transportation Safety Board, based on the findings of its own research, requested states to lower the legal limit to .05 percent.
Although no action regarding the legal limit has yet been taken in Ohio, this does not mean that drivers below the legal limit go unpunished. If alcohol has impaired the driver's ability to drive in a reasonably safe manner, he or she may face a civil lawsuit for damages. If you or a loved one have been injured by an impaired driver, an experienced personal injury attorney can work to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and other expenses resulting from the accident.

For potential homebuyers who want a little history in the market, some websites are a little bit limiting. Buyer's Edge, a D.C.-area brokerage company that exclusively serves buyers, recently added a sold real estate listing feature to its website just to address that issue. A screenshot showing the new Buyer's Edge website functionality The company says this makes it the first real estate company in the Washington, D.C., metro area to provide searchable, accurate, pertinent and timely sold listing data from the Metropolitan Regional Information Systems (MRIS). "One of the reasons we invested in this technology," said Stephen Carpenter-Israel, President of Buyer's Edge, in a statement, "is that we believe it is important for consumers to have accurate sold real estate listing data at their fingertips when buying a home. By providing data that is a year old or less, consumers have access to relevant and comparable information when evaluating properties that are for sal...

Roselle Flowers
Roselle may be used raw, dried or juiced. The fruit's tart flavor requires a sweetener of some kind, and it is successfully used like a cranberry in recipes for jam, jelly, chutney and even wine.
Barrel Cactus Fruit
The fruit of the Barrel cactus is best prepared in sweet applications, since its natural tartness lends itself well to a hint of sugar. Cook the fruit down with agave syrup to make a jam, jelly or a sweet and sour chutney.
Kale White
Inventory, 24 ct : 1.21
This item was last sold on : 09/23/17
White kale is a short compact plant that produces contrasting white midribs within its frilly green leaves. The central leaves of the plant's rosette become completely white when fully mature, giving it a "flower-like" look. White kale is rather strong flavored with a chewy texture. Its taste is reminiscent of cabbage with a robust earthy finish. Once cooked, White kale's texture softens and its flavor becomes sweet and nutty.
White kale is available year-round with peak season during winter.
Current Facts
White kale is a variety of Brassica oleracea that is generally grown for its ornamental value, but is entirely edible and shouldn't be overlooked for an option in the kitchen as well. There are four types of kale in the species, including: Scotch, Siberian/Russian, Collards and Lacinato or Black. Most ornamental kales are a descendant of Scotch kale, White kale being one with a unique flower-like appearance.
Nutritional Value
White kale is an excellent source of folic acid, calcium, iron and vitamins A and C.
White kale may be used similarly to other green varieties, but it is prized for its floral-like appeal as a raw garnish. When harvested young, the tender bicolored leaves are an attractive addition to mixed green salads. They are great carriers for peanuts, almonds, tamari, chiles and other Asian ingredients like sesame oil and ginger. The fully mature leaves may be steamed, braised, stewed, fried, sautéed, and even baked like a chip. They are great in hardy soups which contain smoked meats, potatoes, beans or barley. Other flavor affinities include, bay leaf, oregano, thyme, red pepper flake, nutmeg, shallots, onion, tomato, sweet potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, cream, roasted meats, chorizo sausage, pancetta and chicken.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
It should be noted that the roots of some kale varieties, such as White kale, are poisonous.
White kale can be grown in most any temperate climate, and thrives in the cooler temperatures of late fall and early winter, when its color saturation can reach its peak. White kale generally matures about sixty-two days after planting. The central leaves begin to lose their chlorophyll as cool weather approaches and nighttime temperatures drop below fifty degrees Fahrenheit. The resulting bicolored kale rosette usually takes two to four weeks to develop their whitest white.

Afford-A-Bail Bail Bonds West Hartford

West Hartford Bail Bonds
The West Hartford jail is a fast place to get bonded out of. You sign bail guarantee paperwork for Afford-A-Bail starting with our defendant authorization form. Then one of Afford-A-Bail's professional bondsmen will sign documents for the West Hartford Police Department. After that, you or your loved one is released to our friendly agent to sign their release papers. Getting released from jail is easy when you have us as your go-to bondsman. Trust us to get to you before you get sent to prison.
In our line of work, we get asked many questions from our clients, but inevitably the number one question we are asked on a daily basis is "How do I post a bail bond?" This is typically accompanied by a lot of stress, worry, and concern from the person asking the question, due to their loved one being in jail.
When one is arrested for committing a crime, he is innocent until proven guilty. However, the person will be put to jail and the prosecution moves on. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system takes a long time to resolve a case. In order to remain free while waiting for the court appearance, the accused person posts a bail.
The first, and probably the only thing, that preoccupies the minds of people in jail is how they could get out as quickly as possible. One way this could be achieved legally is by paying bail.
Bail is the cash or any other form of property given by a charged or arrested person, to secure his release from jail with the understanding that he will present himself anytime he is needed in the court. If the defendant absconds or does not return to court at the prescribed time, he not only forfeits his property or cash, the court can order his arrest.

For the fashion-conscious, IMF merchandise will also be available for purchase.
We look forward to welcoming you all to this year's squad – come and support this incredible group of Indigenous Australians as they embark on one of the biggest challenges of their lives; training for the New York Marathon in just six months!

There is nothing like a moist, delicious double-layer cake slathered in buttercream frosting. But, if you're anything like me, you don't have time to make anything like that on an everyday basis. I work. I go to college. I have familial obligations. I need to cook. I need to clean. I'm lucky to have friends as busy as I am or I doubt anyone would put up with my schedule.
That being said, I think it's very important to have something special in the house to come home to as often as possible. I'm not sure why.. I guess it makes a chaotic home feel more at peace to me. So that's why, now-a-days, I really like "quick" cakes and cookies. Don't get me wrong. I will always prefer an "all-day" cake or meal, but sometimes those "busy day" cakes (as my mother calls them) can be just as awesome after a full week of work.
Stumble Upon has become one of my greatest friends during late-night downtime. You can find the most amazing food blogs and sites. And that's exactly how I found this gem. And I do mean gem.
This is absolutely the quickest cake you could possibly make. All together, I spent, maybe, about 10 minutes in the kitchen. And it's a really good cake. It's true that it's semi-homemade (I used "Moist Supreme" mix from Pillsbury, for those who are wondering), which I'm not usually a huge fan of, but it doesn't taste like it. And it's only two ingredients! How can you pass that up?
It's a fantastic, fast cake for Fall. And you might as well try it! More than likely, you already have everything you need in the pantry.
Recipe Ahead!
Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Cake with Apple Cider Glaze
Adapted from Noble Pig
You Will Need…
A large bowl
A small bowl
Cooking (or baking) spray
An electric mixer
Measuring cups and spoons
9" x 13" glass (or metal) casserole dish
A rubber spatula
A fork
1 Yellow Cake Mix (I suggest using a "moist" mix - like Pillsbury)
1 (15 oz.) can of pumpkin puree
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
3 Tbsp apple cider
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
I've made a couple changes from the original recipe to suit our tastes (and our available equipment), but how it comes together is the same.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and emptying the contents of the boxed cake mix and the pumpkin puree into a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until well mixed. This cake batter will be quite thick, but it will come together nicely.
Scrape batter into a greased 9" x 13" glass pan. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. It's important to not over bake this cake. (Do not overbake!) This cake's beauty is in the texture - so bake until a toothpick comes out clean and no longer.
Once out of the oven, let the cake cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then you can either leave it in the pan (what we do) or you can turn it out onto a platter for a nicer presentation.
Now for the thing that makes this cake really delicious: Make the glaze!
Combine the powdered sugar, apple cider, and pumpkin pie spice with a fork in a small bowl. The glaze should, ultimately, be thick but easily poured. Pour 3/4 of the glaze over the top of the cake while it's still warm and keep 1/4 off to the side to pour over individual slices when served. If you're like me, you like cake cold. But this cake's great warm - so dive right in! :]

Brother of Afghan Terror Leader Killed by Assassins
ABC Digital
World News
Updated at
(ISLAMABAD) — A high-ranking al-Qaeda linked militant from the group believed to be behind a series of high-profile attacks against U.S. forces in Afghanistan was gunned down overnight on the outskirts of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital city.
Nasiruddin Haqqani, a senior figure in the feared Haqqani network, was standing at a bakery to buy bread when two gunmen on motorcycles approached and opened fire, according to an eyewitness who asked to not be identified due to fear of reprisals.
Haqqani's associates hurried him into his black SUV and sped him away. The attack left bullet holes in the bakery's wall, and Haqqani's blood splattered over the floor.
It happened in Bara Kahu, a small village a few miles away from Islamabad. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Haqqani network is among the most feared and powerful militant groups operating along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan. Senior State Department officials have repeatedly blamed the group for some of the deadliest attacks against U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, including major assaults on American bases that have killed or injured dozens of American soldiers.
Unlike other high-ranking members of the militant group, Haqqani is believed to have kept a low profile. His primary role was a financier, and there is no indication he was involved in planning or day-to-day strategic operations.
The Haqqani network is led by Haqqani's brother, Sirajuddin Haqqani. Their father, Jalaluddin Haqqani, founded the group and is well-known for fighting the Soviets after they invaded Afghanistan in 1979.
Senior State Department officials have criticized Pakistan for not doing enough to target the Haqqani network, which is aligned with Mullah Omar and the Taliban. It's unclear how long Nasiruddin had been living so close to the Pakistani capital, or how he managed to live so openly without being caught. Residents would often see Nasiruddin's black SUV in the area, but weren't aware who it belonged to.
His death comes after a U.S. drone strike killed another militant leader, Hakimullah Mehsud, in North Waziristan, a largely lawless area that straddles the border. Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, was killed just after meeting a delegation of fellow Taliban commanders to discuss a peace deal with the Pakistani government.
