"I chose LSSU expecting a very good engineering education. What I didn't expect was faculty with real-world engineering experience and abilities, labs with real-world equipment, projects with real-world outcomes, and an entire campus staff with real interest in my success, as a student and yet today. My LSSU engineering education has created or supported every desired career opportunity. LSSU was absolutely the right place for me."

Nick conducted a fish population survey in the rapids of the St. Mary's river, just east of the International Bridge that connects the US and Canada. He determined fish timing and their use of the rapids by collecting samples throughout the summer and fall of 2009, using a screw trap on loan from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Steimel found that many different species are not only in the rapids, but spawn there as well. His research helps determine the diversity of fish as well when their use of spawning habitat is at its highest in that section of the river.

In our quest to beat the effects of aging we may be tempted to give diet and exercise a boost by taking supplements or relying on supplements all together. Dr. Bruce Bouts, Internist at Blanchard Valley Medical Associates, is also a licensed pharmacist..
Dr. Bouts said that over the years the supplements seemed to have taken on magical properties over the past few years especially with the anti-aging contingent. In reality mega-dosing on vitamins may be counterproductive. Dr. Bouts suggested that there are a couple of supplements that should be taken that are necessary for good health..
Dr. Bouts said there is no substitute for good old fashioned exercise and watching your caloric intake, particularly your intake of refined sugars and simple carbs.

Hi i would like to share my point of view about mt diet experience. I started to put on weight after a knee op and giving up smoking, and began to feel like a blob, i kept toying with an idea about diet clubs but that meant going out and discussing my weight with strangers not what i felt confident doing. Then i came across tesco diets then i saw i could use my tesco vouchers so signed up for 6 months.i was very dubious about it working how wrong was i! i went on the light choice diet and each week i have lost 2lb the web site is easy to use once you get use to it. there is always back up if i am having a bad week and questions i have asked have always been answered very quickly. After so many weeks i found i was always having to swap meals so it got a bit boring, after talking to one of my mentors she told me about the totals diet which fits in better with my family meals as they would not have been very impressed with kidney bean curry. It gives me a lot more freedom and if i fancy a takeaway i just make sure i am within my totals. also their are great recipes for all the family. i just love it and will be spending my next tesco vouchers to keep my membership going.Give it a try its worth it!

Douglas Quenqua | April 16, 2010 | Comments
Coupons of all sort have been made a comeback in recent years, thanks in part to the decline in the economy and the increase in online coupon-delivery technology. A new report from Borrell Associates says that trend is set to continue on mobile devices, as cell phones and GPS-enabled smart phones become a popular platform for offering customer discounts.
Total mobile coupon spending in the U.S. is expected to rise from $90 million in 2009 to $6.53 billion in 2014, according to the 2010 U.S. Local Mobile Advertising and Promotions Forecast. That number is predicted to hit $370 million in 2010. By comparison, total U.S. spend on Internet coupons in 2009 was $4.2 billion, and is expected to hit $22.6 billion in 2014.
Local couponing, which is traditionally slower to grow, will account for $4 of every $100 spent on mobile coupons this year, but will reach $1 out of every $6 by 2014, the report said.
Driving that growth is a combination of economic need and the fact that phones are becoming better equipped to deliver coupons and coupon apps.
"When the economy goes down, people tend to find ways to save money, and there was certainly a very large spike in coupon usage last year," said Gordon Borrell, CEO of Borrell Associates. "It's also that the proximity of the mobile device to someone's wallet is a heck of a lot closer than a PC when you're out driving around."
While Internet coupons still account for much more of the market than mobile ones, the report found that the redeemed value of mobile coupons is 24 percent higher than Internet coupons and nearly half as high as paper coupons. The reason, Borrell said, is that most mobile coupons are of the opt-in variety, which tend to be of greater value.
But while those numbers may seem encouraging to marketers, Borrell noted that they signified consumers are still not interested in receiving unsolicited coupons.
"The magic is in the opt-in," he said. "It's in requesting stuff that is something you really want. It really is marketing more to your loyal customer base, and that's not a bad thing with all the competition out there."
Technology is playing a significant role in the expansion of mobile coupons. Smart phones, which are still a relatively small percentage of the mobile device market, are nonetheless driving mobile coupon spend in two major ways: GPS capability allows marketers to offer discounts to consumers who are nearby and poised to spend, and apps are giving marketers the chance to reach consumers in a media-rich way.
Still, Borrell says expensive apps should not distract marketers from the easiest, most cost-effective ways of offering mobile discounts.
"The simplest things are going to work," he said. "Everybody is going to overlook the simplest things like texting coupons to people and go for the fancy apps, and unfortunately those things tend to be more expensive than they are revenue generators, so there's no ROI."
The new report is a followup to one Borrell released late last year on Internet coupons. That report found that coupon use in general had gone up during 2009, and that newspaper coupons were still more popular (though less valuable) than Internet ones.

Excellent distro. Use it normally. LibreOffice is there, Simple scan, Thunar FM, Chromium, ClamTK, Screenshooter, soundrecorder, OpenShot Video Editor et cetera...... I had sound, Internet, Printer, Scanner and everything else as well. There is a software-centre from which to download and many system tools that I 'm unfamiliar with. Top marks for a top distro !!
If you are a Ubuntu user that is just not happy with the recent changes in Ubuntu, you owe it to yourself to check out Bauer-Puntu. You can customize it anyway you want. It has all the positive benefits of 12.04 and none of the negative aspects. It's just a great distro.
A perfect distro...fast and easy to customize. Great Job!!
Great distro. Problem with the download link though. It can actually be downloaded here: http://www.adrive.com/public/5190cb81967b9f5e83f194da7fd2c037a6669a417d0e49f198ae51c1ad77f719.html

The year before, Eddie Sutton's last team had a horrible year. I don't even remember the record, because I stopped watching that mess long before the season ended, but that team would be a candidate, as well.
There was an article in the Louisville paper this weekend that said that Tubby is a great coach and that he should stay, and placed the blame on his assistants. They pointed out that in ten years, he has only had two assistants leave for head coaching jobs. The others have been there ten years with no offers. That
seem to be a problem. The suggestion was that he have a housecleaning with the assistants. I can't say that I disagree. Somebody's going to have to learn to recruit. Isn't that the main focus of assistants?

By Tom Gadacz, President, Florida Council IFFF
Five hundred Florida fly anglers converged in mid-October to attend the IFFF Florida Council's 2013 Fly Fishing Expo at The Plantation on Crystal River.
The venue was a 50-year-old, 232-acre resort on the King's Bay spring system, the largest aquifer in Florida. It is home to record-breaking tarpon and hundreds of West Indian manatees.
Old-salts and new fly fishers participated in 41 programs and workshops — from fly casting and fly tying workshops, outdoor photography, building fishing first-aid kits, and developing casting teaching skills, to specialized programs like making the transition from fresh- to salt water fly fishing and a half-day program for kids only.
Some 24 fly tiers from all over the state demonstrated skill and displayed their creations, those for tarpon, redfish and sea trout and bonefish, but also for the state's many freshwater species – bass, bluegill, and sunfish and the exotics.
The Expo program featured two of Florida's most noted saltwater anglers — Chico Fernandez and Flip Pallot. Both first-rate raconteurs, they described their boyhood days of fly fishing from air mattresses to fly fishing with baseball star, Ted Williams. Phil Greenlee was our honored guest. He is president and CEO of the International Federation of Fly Fishers.
We had great support from our many vendors, the local media, and Bobbie Cox and members of the Tarpon Coast Fly Fishers.
Thanks first go to the members of the Florida Council planned a great event.
- Tom Logan coordinated the Expo and organized the fly tier demonstrations.
- David Lambert and Joe Mahler assembled programs and speakers and publicized the event.
- David Olson recruited and coordinated vendors from all areas of the fly fishing world.
- Roger Maler handled Expo marketing.
- And Tracy Maler and Karen Markey did a great job with the registration (with help from many members of the Tarpon Coast Fly Fishers.)
- Kirk and Wendy Burton and staff had great raffle and silent auction items.
- Pete Greenan handled the fly casting certification and testing.
- Gerald Bell, our treasurer, made sure all of our bills were paid and handled printing and signage.
- M.E. DePalma provided web-based support from the FL Council
- Oscar Feliu and Jack Neely put on a superb kids' program.
Thanks also to Rhonda Sellers and Judy Snyder, who provided publicity support from the IFFF.
I wish to thank all the presidents of the Florida fly fishing clubs for their help and support. They helped publicized our event in their newsletter and web sites and we appreciate their help and support.
If you want to learn how to fly fish in Florida, do not miss our 2014 Florida Council Expo! Learn how to catch Florida fish on a fly and make some great fly fishing friends.

Opinion: Data de-dup offers new storage management possibilities
The 20:1 compression rates once touted by vendors seem to have been greatly exaggerated
Computerworld - Last week's announcement (see "NetApp Set to Launch De-duplication Tool") by Network Appliance of their A-SIS data de-duplication technology for primary storage opens new storage management possibilities, raises the bar for their competition, but also brings up some interesting questions.
Most data de-duplication efforts have focused on secondary data applications, particularly backup. Companies like Data Domain have been very successful in this area, and in addition to achieving impressive de-duplication numbers, they have been ratcheting up performance capabilities with each new generation of products. So it only seems natural to consider applying de-dup technology more broadly.
Interestingly, in the announcement, there appears to be an effort to lower expectations regarding the rate of data reduction likely to be realized in primary storage situations, suggesting that the 20:1 or more savings quoted by backup de-dup vendors are largely the result of multiple copies of unchanged data over time. They warn that the reduction will be significantly lower in non-backup scenarios, perhaps 40% or less, and this is borne out by the users quoted in the article referenced above.
Certainly the extent of data reduction, as with any method of compression, depends heavily on the characteristics of the data involved, but based on these data points, it appears that the levels being achieved are at or below those attained through more traditional data compression methods (e.g. gzip, OS filesystem-based compression, tape drives, etc.).
This raises the question of why storage vendors, in general, have not leveraged traditional compression techniques for at least some category of application. While anyone who has enabled file-based compression on their laptop knows that it introduces overhead and impacts performance, hardware-based compression, such as that already incorporated into tape drives and some VTLs, could potentially minimize or even eliminate this overhead in a storage system. One company, StorWiz, offers a network-based appliance that compresses data in-stream on its way to the storage system and claims to actually increase performance due to the reduced quantity of data ultimately being written to disk. Otherwise there appears to be a dearth of compression options for storage.
Let me emphasize that data de-duplication and compression are not mutually exclusive. While traditional compression cannot achieve the very high reduction numbers achievable in some circumstances via de-duplication, given the current emphasis on reducing the storage footprint, as well as operational power and cooling costs, making appropriate use of every tool in our arsenal makes sense.
Jim Damoulakis is chief technology officer of GlassHouse Technologies Inc., a leading provider of independent storage services. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Casinos send $2.6M to Columbus, $1.7M to Franklin County in 1Q tax distribution
Ohio's counties and largest cities are starting to enjoy revenue gains because of the growth of casino gambling in the state, with more than $35 million in gaming taxes to be distributed to them this month.
That includes $2.6 million to the city of Columbus and $1.7 million to Franklin County, according to a quarterly report issued Monday by the Ohio Department of Taxation.
The money comes from the 33 percent tax levied on gross revenues from the casinos in Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo and Cincinnati. Fifty-one percent of that tax revenue is divided among Ohio's 88 counties based on population. Lesser amounts go to the four casino host cities and the most-populated city in counties with more than 80,000 people.
This month's distribution of $35.24 million is for the quarter ended March 31. That was an increase of $5.89 million, or 20 percent, compared with the prior three-month period, reflecting the opening of Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati on March 4 and revenue gains by the other three casinos in February and March.
First-quarter casino tax distributions to other Central Ohio counties are:
- Delaware: $503,413
- Licking: $465,812
- Fairfield: $410,030
- Pickaway: $156,809
- Union: $146,566
- Madison: $119,702
The next round of casino tax distributions to Ohio school districts will be in July, said a tax department spokesman. They split 34 percent of the tax on gross casino revenues.

In Chicago? Love horror? AICN HORROR has passes to an advance screening of THE COLLECTION (sequel to THE COLLECTOR) next week!!!
Greetings, all. Ambush Bug here with a special AICN HORROR: ZOMBIES & SHARKS screening in Chicago next week!
November and December usually is the time for Oscar-bait to be filling the theaters with all of their glitz and glamour, but at the end of this month, THE COLLECTION, the sequel to THE COLLECTOR is hitting theaters on November 30th. Always one to support horror, especially horror in theaters which is something that is becoming less and less of a reality these days, I wanted to let folks know that there's a horror film to look forward to while you're gobbling down turkey this week. I saw an extended clip of THE COLLECTION when I hosted a panel this past weekend at the DAYS OF THE DEAD Horror Convention in Shaumberg, Illinois. Director Marcus Dunstan, writer Patrick Melton, and stars Josh Stewart and Emma Fitzpatrick were all on hand to talk about the film and I'll be posting my interview with them all next week.
In the meantime, there's going to be an advance screening of THE COLLECTION at a theater in downtown Chicago next Tuesday (November 27th) at 7:00 PM. I have 40 pairs of passes to give out and I want to fill this theater so I'm going to make this one easy for you. Given the fact that this is a site built on folks who have a habit of collecting, hoarding, and cataloging all types of shit, I want to know the prize item in your own collection, be it comics, movie memorabilia, or superstar underwear. Let me know what it is. So click on this link, send me an email with the prize item in your own collection and you may be seeing THE COLLECTION next Tuesday at a theater in downtown Chicago.
Keep the emails brief. Be sure to give me your full name and whether or not you need a plus one. Seats will be held for winners until 6:45PM and then you're SOL. And dear god, do not enter if there is an off chance that you can't make it. As with Capone's screenings, if there is any reason you can't make it, do not enter. If you enter and don't show up, I will blacklist you from any future screenings for-ev-ERRRR!.
But dammit, if you want more horror in cinema, reserve some time to support this film because from what I saw of it, it looks damn cool! So come out of the rafters, cellars, and alleyways, Chicago AICN HORROR readers! I'd love to see you all next Tuesday at this screening of THE COLLECTION. I'll be posting the winners later on in the week.
Best of luck!

Poor semi construction causing alarm
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - According to federal records, Indiana State Police found more than 6,000 semi trucks with mechanical issues last year.
The problems were so dangerous that officers immediately pulled the semi trucks off the road.
Morris Trucking Corporation in Terre Haute said one of its semis had a problem several years ago.
"We had a bolt that never got installed at the factory, and it didn't show up for several miles...It was just slightly out of warranty when it did show up and caused a complete engine failure," Morris Trucking Corporation President Mike Morris said.
Morris has seen around 1,000 semi trailers in his 40 years in the business.
He said for the most part, he's happy with the quality control he sees from the birth of the truck.
"Sloppy work from a factory on a new truck or repair facilities, we've just really not experienced that," Morris said.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration places strict regulations of the maintenance of commercial trucks.
Inspection reports from state police reveal unsafe tires, defective turn signals, break issues and unsecured loads in semis.
Alarming statistics that Morris says they've avoided so far.
They say they trust their dealers to create safe roadways.
"People are scrambling for business and they're working hard for their customers, they're trying to do the job right and the equipment today is the paint, the finish, the fit, everything is better than it used to be," he said.
News 10 spoke to Indiana State Police.
They report: locally, maintenance issues have not caused many problems.
Officers attribute most accidents to driver error.

Ohio Supreme Court Upholds Medicaid Expansion
Ohio's high court has upheld a state legislative panel's vote to fund an expansion of Medicaid.
High school graduation rates have a direct link to the economy. By the latest calculation, dropouts from the class of 2008 will cost Ohio almost 9.8 billion in lost wages over their lifetimes. A panel of community stakeholders analyzed the implications of dropping out and highlights local initiatives to help students finish school at a forum, "American Graduate."
American Graduate is part of a national initiative launched by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to improve high school graduation rates and help stop the damaging school trend of school dropouts—estimated to be more than a million students a year.

Economist magazine ranks Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary among world's top 5 most livable cities

TORONTO - Three Canadian cities are among the world's top five most livable cities.
Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary made The Economist magazine's 2012 list released earlier this week.
The survey ranks 140 cities based on a number of factors, including health care, stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure — with a maximum score of 100.
Vancouver was the highest-ranked Canadian city, coming in third with an overall score of 97.3; Toronto came in fourth at 97.2; and Calgary tied for fifth place with Adelaide, Australia, at 96.6.
Melbourne, Australia topped the list with a score of 97.5, followed by Vienna, Austria which scored 97.4.
It is the second year in a row that Melbourne, dubbed the cultural capital of Australia, has been declared the world's best place to live.
The magazine says the rankings show that mid-sized cities in wealthy countries with low populations tend to score the highest year after year.
The survey's authors say they only looked at places where people would want to live or visit.
They also noted that existing conflict or the possibility of one brought down the scores of many cities and pointed to the Arab Spring, the civil war in Libya and economic unrest in Greece as examples.
According to the survey, Dhaka, Bangladesh is the world's least livable city, coming in last with a score of 38.7.
Top 10 most livable cities:
1. Melbourne, Australia
2. Vienna, Austria
3. Vancouver
4. Toronto
5. (tie) Calgary and Adelaide, Australia
7. Sydney, Australia
8. Helsinki, Finland
9. Perth, Australia
10. Auckland, New Zealand

Aged 10 months in 33% new medium toast French oak barrels. · Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose is striking with bright aromas of Bing cherries, raspberries, and spice. Outstanding depth and length of flavor featuring a core of dark red cherries and berries with a hint of graham, cola and spice. Seductively ethereal in the mouth, with firm, supportive tannins, and a long, long, long finish. A brilliant wine with superb balance. Still extraordinary when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 94.

Yields 1.5 tons per acre. 100% de-stemmed, 2-day cold soak, aged 16 months in 32% new French oak, bottled unfined. · Moderately light reddish-purple color in the glass. Aromas of black cherries and toasty oak. Elegant, yet offering some richness of red fruit flavor underpinned with notes of tea and tarry oak. Round and polished, soft in the mouth, finishing with a dark cherry bonus. Becomes more expressive over time in the glass indicating decanting is beneficial at this early stage. Good (+).

A series of ever-changing aromas rise out of the glass including ripe dark cherries, fresh raspberry tart, sassafras and Herbs de Provence. The flavors echo the nose with a noticeable savory bent of pine, leaf and bramble. Plenty of nuance and character with remarkable aromatic persistence on the finish. Still great the next day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Very good (+). Reviewed May 11, 2012 WINERY » ARTICLE » 2006 J.K. Carriere Wines Antoinette Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 13.75% alc., 148 cases, $65. Antoinette was Prosser's maternal grandmother. Sourced from 27 year-old vines in Temperance Hill Vineyard, the oldest from this vineyard. Wild yeast fermentation, aged 18 months in 6 French oak barrels, 2 new, 2 twice-filled and 2 neutral. Unfined and unfiltered. · Deeply colored. Dark fruits tending toward raisin with aromas of smoke, oak and a bit of good barnyard. On the palate there is plenty of satisfying oak-wrapped dark fruit which is shy and restrained. Currently the tooth-sticking tannins and hi-tone acidity overshadow the fruit. Not extremely charming or approachable yet but patience will pay dividends down the road (Prosser predicts a potential life of 12 to 20 years). Reviewed March 26, 2009 WINERY » ARTICLE » |

Donna's Notes:
One of the secret ingredients in this recipe is the beer, so don't leave it out. All of the alcohol will cook out but the unique sweet flavor remains. If you must, non-alcoholic beer can be used. You can make this chili as mild or hot as you like by adjusting the chili powder and cayenne pepper. Using this slow cooker method makes it super easy and delicious.
Season ground beef, breakfast sausage and cubed sirloin with garlic powder, onion powder brown in a skillet with the bacon grease until completely cooked. Remove meat to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Discard grease.
Turn slow cooker to High and add in order: chili stick and cooked ground meats. Let heat from cooked meats help melt the chili stick until they are blended together.
Add onions, bell pepper, celery, diced tomatoes, chili sauce, tomato paste, tomato sauce, can water, beef bouillon, beer, garlic, chili powder, bay leaves and chives, Lea & Perrin, and remaining dry seasonings. Mix well and let mixture come to a good simmer.
Reduce temperature to Low and set timer for 7 hours. Periodically check the mixture and stir. If it seems to need more liquid just add water, beer or tomato juice, (I use V-8).
About 30 minutes before chili is finished cooking add the beans. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve with corn bread muffins and your choice of garnishes: sour cream, finely chopped onion, thinly sliced green onions, sliced or diced fresh or pickled jalapeno peppers, grated sharp cheddar cheese, Tabasco hot sauce
Competition Tips:
Always make this medium hot so that everyone can enjoy it and have plenty of cayenne, hot pepper and chili powder on hand for those who want to spice up
their bowl.
Always make way more than you need for the competition because when the other contestants run out, you'll have some left for those who still want to eat. If they keep coming back to your chili, you'll most likely get the People's vote.

Gil Scott-Heron
Gil Scott-Heron
One of the most important progenitors of rap music, Gil Scott-Heron's aggressive, no-nonsense street poetry inspired a legion of intelligent rappers while his engaging songwriting skills placed him square in the R&B charts later in his career, backed by increasingly contemporary production courtesy of Malcolm Cecil and Nile Rodgers (of Chic). Born in Chicago but transplanted to Tennessee for his early years, Scott-Heron spent most of his high-school years in the Bronx, where he learned firsthand many of the experiences that later made up his songwriting material. He had begun writing before reaching his teenage years, however, and completed his first volume of poetry at the age of 13. Though he attended college in Pennsylvania, he dropped out after one year to concentrate on his writing career and earned plaudits for his novel, The Vulture.

Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo
November 20th, 2013 – For the new PlayStation 3 racing game Gran Turismo 6, the Mercedes-Benz designers have developed the visionary concept of a super sports car – the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo. Extreme proportions, sensual contours and intelligently implemented high tech blend to form a body that visually brings to life the breathtaking performance of 577 hp (430 kW) and 590 lb-ft of torque. As a 1:1-scale model, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo is celebrating its world premiere on November 19, 2013 at the opening of the new Mercedes-Benz Research & Development Center in Sunnyvale, California. The super sports car with its hallmark Mercedes gullwing doors will be taking to the virtual racetrack when the new racing game goes on sale in December 2013 – as the first of the "Vision Gran Turismo" series of vehicles.
To mark the 15th birthday of the popular Gran Turismo series this year, Kazunori Yamauchi, Producer of Gran Turismo series and President of Polyphony Digital Inc., called upon the world's leading automotive manufacturers and design studios to look forward into the future. Using the theme "Vision Gran Turismo", these creative teams were to develop concept models which give a unique insight into the further development of the automobile. As virtual vehicles that nonetheless function just like a real car, the visionary concepts will be gradually unveiled in and integrated into the new game Gran Turismo 6 through online updates.
"By virtue of its proportions and expressive appearance, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo embodies the brand's defining design philosophy of sensuous purity in a unique way. The design of this concept car reflects to extreme effect the perfect symbiosis between emotional, sensuous contours and intelligently presented high tech," says Gorden Wagener, Vice President Design Daimler AG.
The sports car proportions that are a typical Mercedes feature have been reinterpreted: the long hood has a flowing transition into a compact greenhouse offset to the rear, which takes the form of an aerodynamically efficient water drop to descend slightly at the rear, where it rests on the rear end with broad shoulder contours. The dynamic aura is accentuated by an extended, dramatic side contour and a pronounced bulge to the wheel arches, which blend into the low-slung, muscular bodyshell.

The dynamic aura is accentuated by an extended, dramatic side contour and a pronounced bulge to the wheel arches, which blend into the low-slung, muscular bodyshell. The angled headlights, with their color scheme and determined look, convey a sense of sportiness and readiness to leap forward. This impression is reinforced by the hood with its expressive forms and motorsport details, such as the release catches on the hood and the fuel cap, for example. The red-glowing contour lines on the lower part of the vehicle create an effect similar to that of exterior ambient lighting and stand out from the silver-painted bodywork. This makes the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo look even more aggressive. For fans of Gran Turismo® 6, the Mercedes-AMG sound specialists have created a powerful, sonorous exhaust note that authentically celebrates the V8′s love of high engine speeds.

A Whole Different Beast: Laraki's New Epitome Boasts 1,750 hp
September 24th, 2013 – Generally, flashy red sports cars are reserved for balding, middle-aged men having mid-life crises. No judging. But the Laraki Epitome is a whole different beast entirely. Ambitiously talented Moroccan designer and owner of Laraki Motors, Abdeslam Laraki's flashy one-off echoes elements of modern aerospace and Formula One racing. The future forward design utilizes the chassis of a C6 Corvette, boasts 1,750 hp on premium 91 octane gasoline, and weighs only 2,800 pounds thanks to light-weight body panels made entirely of carbon fiber.
The Epitome marks an unexpected comeback for Laraki Motors, a company who began their journey in Morocco designing superyachts in 1999. The team went on to create two concept cars: the Fulgura in 2002 and Borak in 2005 under the direction of Bugatti's previous technical director Dr. Peter Tutzer. Then closed their doors in 2007, only to resurface weeks ago on the manicured grass of Pebble Beach with the awe-inspiring Epitome.
The impressive piece of machinery runs on premium 91 octane gasoline, but is equip with a secondary 110-octane fuel tank and can run on both types of fuels at the same time. This is possible by pressing a button which will also remap the ECU and as a result will bump output to an amazing 1,750 hp (1,305 kW).
Laraki is expected to build only nine of the limited edition Epitome this year, each with a staggering $2 million price tag.

Birò Estrima: Zero emissions, zero noise, zero gasoline
July 26th, 2013 – Four years ago Matthew Masters had a vision. The young founder of Estrima dreamed of improving the quality of our mobility – Zero emissions, zero noise, zero gasoline consumption. The power of this idea is what has fueled Masters to create the Birò, an ecological, practical, silent, easy to drive 4-wheel electric vehicle. The unconventional and dynamic design is the smallest 4-wheel electric car available on the market, but quite possibly the most Eco-minded of vehicles around.
With Birò, getting around the city is easy. Thanks to its compact size drivers can easily maneuver through urban traffic and park snug in a space fit for a scooter. Biro is meant to be a personal commuter designed with comfortable interior compartments that can hold everyday objects. The stylish coupe is small, but cozy and sociable, designed with two seats inside.
Four wheels of great agility run on two 100% Electric Brushless motors that are mounted on the rear wheels without using a transmission system, thus eliminating weight and additional maintenance costs.
Birò saves the commuter money and is fun to drive because of its easily maneuverable and the car has a dynamic lever boost system, which gives the driver the ability to accelerate with an influx of acceleration when needed.
No matter the season, Birò drivers are well protected from rain, cold, and wind. Warm weather will be instrumental for driving with the top down! The roof and the glass tempered rear are removable, to let in light and air during the warmer seasons.
The energy of Birò can always be with you, literally. Birò is the only 4-wheel car to be equipped with a retractable system electric battery patented by Re-Move. Once Birò is parked, the driver can easy remove the battery device and take it home, in the office, or wherever is most convenient for recharging the battery.
McLaren P1 Super Sports Car Debut, Geneva
February 18th, 2013 – With the Geneva Motor Show around the corner, automakers are on the verge of unveiling their new makes and models. As the press releases are rolling in, the McLaren P1 has proven to be a stand out machine, the type of car that helps the Geneva Motor Show maintain its famed reputation. This is not McLaren's first rodeo when it comes to creating sensational hype on their new cars, so they commissioned renowned auto photographer George Williams to fly to the middle east to capture the stunning sports car in its natural habitat – the racetrack.
McLaren Automotive is a British manufacturer of luxury, high-performance sports cars, located at the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC) in Woking, Surrey. Following the company's global launch in 2010, McLaren Automotive launched the groundbreaking 12C and 12C Spider and plans to introduce a new model each year.
The interior of the McLaren P1™ offers the driver and passenger a cocooning, efficiently packaged, comfortable cabin. The interior feels like the cockpit of a fighter jet, complete with glass canopy overhead and, with a windscreen deeper than it is wide, visibility is optimized. This makes the car all the easier to plant on road and track.
Light weight – as with the rest of the car – is a priority, and switchgear is kept to a minimum, yet the McLaren P1 retains luxury features such as full climate control, satellite navigation and a bespoke sound system, developed from the outset with Meridian.
McLaren is a pioneer in the use of carbon fiber, and it features extensively throughout the McLaren P1, not least in the MonoCage chassis and the aerodynamically-shaped body panels, but also inside the two-seat cabin. It is the lightest possible material, while offering the strength desirable for safety and structural integrity, and is used for the dashboard, floor, headlining, doors, rockers and a single piece is shaped for the central control unit to further optimize weight. Attention to detail within the interior of the McLaren P1 is such that, to further reduce weight, the top layer of resin has been removed, to leave the carbon non-lacquered for a more natural look…and saves a further 1.5kg.
The racing bucket seats use the minimum amount of foam, are encased in ultra-thin carbon fiber shells, and mounted on lightweight brackets and runners, contributing to an overall weight of just 10.5kg each. The seat backs are fixed to 28 degrees from the vertical, but can be set to 32 degrees to make them more suitable for racing as it will give more helmet head room. The height of the seat will be custom set to suit the driver and passenger, and can be subsequently adjusted in the workshop. Fixings for a six-point race harnesses are in place, in addition to inertia reel seat belts.
The final, production-ready McLaren P1™ will make its global debut at the 83rd International Motor Show in Geneva, and the McLaren Automotive press conference will take place at 11.15am CET (10.15am GMT), Tuesday 5 March.

The Stromlinie 75 Concept Car
February 14th, 2013 – 75 years ago dare devil race car driver Bernd Rosemeyer came to terms with his fate as he died while trying to establish a new speed record in his 1930′s Auto Union Type C "Silver Arrow". In respects to Rosemeyer and the Silver Arrow, German industrial designer Lukas Rittwage has dreamed up a modern rendition of the classic car. The Stromlinie 75 Concept Car uses the seamless aerodynamic shape of the classic Type C but revamped it for the consumers of 2013. This one-seater sports car differs from its predecessor as the body is wider and longer, along with an added retractable spoiler. Rittwage decided to keep the famed four rings on The Stromlinie, although these now signify only Audi, and not all of Auto Union.
Peugeot's XRC concept car
There's a reason that little tykes are obsessed with drag racing remote controlled cars over curbs, into mud puddles and generally wreaking havoc on the neighborhood. They're fast. They're versatile. They're indestructible. Peugeot's XRC concept car is like one such coveted remote-controlled cars, only blown up life-sized and built to be rallied.
The fundamentals are similar, but the Peugeot XRC packs a punch. This baby is one of a kind, forged to surf deserts and tackle tough terrain. Dreamed up by CGI specialist Tiago Aiello, the vehicle mimics a typical RC car and yet the unique design takes on a life of its own, an almost arachnid-like quality. One thing's for certain, if the concept car takes life there will masses of middle-aged men across America reliving their youth like nobody's business. (Let's just hope that they stop at the car, and don't revert back to footie pajamas.)
The Wiesmann Spyder
If you're looking to get frisky in a sports car this ride isn't for you. The Wiesmann Spyder is equipped with two, completely separate front seats. The seats aren't the only unconventional twist to the open-top car. If you notice this blue beast is lacking doors and a windshield. We have to admit, bugs in the teeth have got to be a major factor with a vehicle that can go 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. The ultra-light concept car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show tops out at just under 2,200 lbs and boasts a 420-hp V8 high-speed motor. Wiesmann has yet to decide if the Spyder will be into production. If it does go into production, this won't be before 2012. It'll have to go on next year's Christmas list.
The Bertone Mantide
Generally, flashy red sports cars are reserved for balding, middle-aged men having mid-life crises. The Bertone Mantide is a whole different beast entirely. Stile Bertone's flashy one-off echoes elements of modern aerospace and Formula One racing. The futuristic design utilizes the mechanics of the Corvette ZR1 and boasts a LS9 engine that provides a total 638-hp. The vehicle aims to be the world's greatest street legal performance car and is said to go from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph. Taking cues from sensual Italian sports cars, the innovative and beautiful lines of the Mantide are driven (pun intended) by performance: the low-slung nose, jet fighter style teardrop canopy and 'gull wing' doors, as well as the air inlets and exhausts for maximum air efficiency. Aging baby boomers can only dream.

The Citroen Taranis
Looking like a wickedly futuristic Batmobile prowling the streets of Gotham, the Citroen Taranis is actually a hybrid vehicle – part car, part bike. Created by British-born video game designer Peter Norris, the streamlined, charcoal grey fairings are interrupted by sleek 'gullwing' doors and sits like a tarantula, poised to pounce. The vehicle's moniker was borrowed from the Celtic god of thunder, which is fitting seeing that the car is powered by electric motors within each wheel hub. With the motors sitting at a lower center of gravity, the design allows for improved handing, not to mention the double-jointed swing arms that provide unparalleled turning abilities. Taking design cues from Hollywood crime-fighting vehicles there's no arguing that the Citroen looks like it drove right off the set of Transformers 7.
Fall In Love With Renault's DeZir
It's not simply the cherry red color of Renault's sleek, new electric car that gets our blood pumping but it's that the 'DeZir' is proof that eco-friendly initiatives and a passion for cars can go hand in hand." Laurens van den Acker, the leader of Renault's Design Department, spearheaded DeZir based on three simple words that describe Renault's brand best; 'simple','sensuous' and 'warm!'
These three words launched Acker's vision of creating a seamless vehicle with soft, gradual curves, coated in a vibrant red lacquer. Acker also had a personal concept behind the creation of the DeZir; falling in love. He explains the "implementation of the strategy based on the notion of 'life cycle'. The first step involves falling in love, an experience that is perfectly illustrated by DeZir's powerful, sensuous styling and bright red finish; red being the color associated with passion."
The two-seater coupe is powered by an electric motor mounted in a mid-rear position to optimize weight distribution over the front and rear wheels. Acker wanted the vehicle to be lightweight for power performance and agile movement capabilities which led for its body to be made from Kevlar, while its tubular steel frame is similar to that employed for Mégane Trophy race car. Acker explains "DeZir's suspension also shares certain features with that of Mégane Trophy – including a double wishbone arrangement – to deliver a particularly high standard of handling precision." And did you check out the butterfly doors? (Swoon!)
Here at Knstrct, we don't drive. We take the train, bicycle, bus, taxi or water taxi. Every now and again we come across a car that makes us want to close our eyes, snap our fingers, and click our Pierre Hardy heels three times in order to make it magically appear. The CFS is that car.
The CFS is currently a concept car designed by rising Russian transportation designer Mikhail Smalyanov, head creative of Solif Designs. The unique design of the car is not surprising for Smalyanov, but the historical Mid-20th Century design references are. Smalyanov is a modern and futuristic thinker and his designs reflect his point of view. Many of his pieces, including the CFS, are a mixture of retro style with twists of cutting edge features.
Jason Battersby, Canadian transportation designer, has just been honored by Audi with their Cultural Achievement Award for the One concept car he designed….Welllllll not quite, Battersby's fictional Audi award is all part of his concept for his thesis project at Umea Institute of Design in Sweden. Knstrct spoke directly to Battersby who explained "I created the award/vehicle to celebrate cultural hero's, and is strictly conceptual, this award does not actually exist." Originally, when we got word about this Award given by Audi, even we were fooled! along with many other websites and publications who wrote articles about it. Battersby turned out an amazing design and he elevated his design onto a luxury platform by packaging it as an Audi given award. The very talented Battersby is a designer on our radar, The concept of this car is truly eye-catching and is a whimsical representation of the future. Enjoy!
James bond can now go green in style! The worlds fastest hybrid, The ItalDesign-Giugiaro Quaranta concept car, was recently retrofitted with a meter, white paint and a dome light to shuttle fares around the Italian capital. Quaranta comes nothing close your normal car, it can reach speeds up to 155 mph and can fly 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. Powered by the Toyota Synergy Drive found in the Lexus RX400h, it's complete with 3.3-liter V6, electric motor, continuously variable transmission and supplemented by front mounted solar panels. This eco-friendly automobile was car created to mark the ItalDesign-Giugiaro's 40th anniversary.

He is interested in 1) a penpal in the U.K. and 2) possibly interested in English-speaking/writing (or someone who does not speak/write English but has ready access to a translator) penpals in other parts of the world. His only other "specs" at this time are that the penpal be a Scout and someone near his own age (9-10). Please email me directly for more info. Thanx.

Spore, became frustrating towards the end. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky I haven't touched since I bought it a month ago. Then Crysis Warhead, well I beat it and that's that. So what game caused me to ignore my schoolwork and even my girlfriend at times, you guessed, the Zombie-Apocalypse survival game: Left 4 Dead. The Good: -AI Director,...
