It's been something of a mixed bag of news for road users over the last month. First up, the good news. Patrick McLoughlin, the Transport Secretary, unveiled plans to help secure long-term investment in our road network.
Announcing £28 billion in additional funding for building, maintenance and repair to the network, Mr McLoughlin said the plans would be underpinned by legislation so it could not be undone by future governments.
McLoughlin said: "Our major roads are vital to the prosperity of our nation, connecting people to jobs and businesses to markets. They carry a third of all traffic and two thirds of all freight traffic but in recent decades we have failed to invest properly in them.
"Today's changes will bring an end to the short-term thinking that has blighted investment in England's roads so that we can deliver the infrastructure our economy needs. Backed by the government's £28 billion commitment, they will give us a road network fit for the 21st century and beyond."
While the Government has pledged a large proportion of the funds to 52 major projects – including an upgrade of the A14 linking the Midlands with Felixstowe and a new bridge called the Mersey Gateway in the northwest – the majority of the budget will be spent on roads repair and maintenance.
But then came the not so good news. The latest forecasts by the Department for Transport predict that the UK's road network will struggle to cope with a projected ten million additional vehicles by 2040.
This, the report claims, will lead to an increase in steady delays by a huge 114% with average road speeds will fall by 8%.
All in all this means 15% of vehicles on major roads at peak times would be stuck in traffic jams – double the current figure.
One factor behind this predicted surge in vehicle numbers is that the cost of motoring will likely fall by 24% for cars by 2040 thanks to improved fuel efficiency.
There's good news for owners of light goods vehicles too as they will see a 7% fall in motoring costs. It's not all good news though and company's running HGV's should start saving as their outlay is expected to rocket by 36%!
While the figures in the DfT's report are only predictions there's little to put a smile on drivers' faces.

USA Today looks at declining manga sales in Japan and cites several reasons, including the popularity of cell phones, the aging of the population, and a lack of originality, a reason that was endorsed by several commenters at ANN. But Simon Jones points out that the slump is in magazines, not manga; people are still reading manga, just in a different form. Over at Blog@Newsarama, commenter Preston Do has an interesting take:
I guess that's what happens in a business where teh majority of its comics are drawn AND written by one person instead of having skilled people specialize in one or the department. Very few people are talented enough to pull such a task off and I suspect that's why characters and stories are getting boring or drawing quality isn't top notch.
Actually, I think that one-creator thing is one of the things people find appealing about manga.

Container Garden 411
Container Garden 411 – Get The Insight, Tips, Techniques
Growing Herbs on your BalconyFiled under: Uncategorized; Tagged as: balcony, gardening, growing herbs on balcony, Herbs, outside, windowsill herb garden
You can bring new life to your balcony by adding a few potted herbs. Having them in containers makes it a cinch because you can move them around (as you figure out the amount of sun your balcony gets). If you cultivate your balcony herb plants in containers, they are portable—so you can bring them inside at the end of the season.
Balconies are all about sunlight and you will want to go with herb plants like morning glories that grow well with a lot of sun. These little herbs will tolerate the reflection from the windows and doors and also the heat that a metal balcony captures. Check out your balcony at different times of the day to see the quality of sunlight, the heat and the intensity. You'll also want to know which way your balcony is facing—will you get a lot of morning or afternoon sun?
Use gray or silver-colored herbs as well as those with a velvety texture or thick leaves in your balcony garden. Their unique features prevent the loss of water in evaporation.
Try a few of these fabulous herb plants on your balcony:
- Aloe vera: Adding an aloe vera plant to your balcony will be easy. It tolerates the sun very well and needs minimal watering. It is also very helpful for burns, just lop a small piece off and rub it on the burn. It will cool the location, but it can be sticky!
- Cayenne pepper: With cayenne pepper on your balcony, you can always add a little spice to your meal next time you grill out. This herb should do very well on your balcony and add some color too.
- Cucumber: A trailing vine, like a cucumber, can provide an added touch to your balcony. You can also use cucumbers in cosmetics—like facials! You can also grab a few cucumbers to slice for your salads, straight from the balcony!
- Hens-and-chicks: These are among my most favorite plants. These do not need a lot of watering—they are water-holding succulents—and can tolerate the hot temperature and bright sunshine that you might have on your balcony. They are adorable to look at too!
- Lavender: Just one whiff of the soothing aroma of this fragrant herb and you'll be more at ease. It is also a brilliant plant that adds a nice pop of color.
You can choose a few nice-sized containers to put on your balcony or try a hanging balcony basket that has an inside layer from a coconut liner. I actually made my own balcony basket with chicken wire and moss. It was my first try at something like that. That basket wasn't the best thing since sliced bread, but it was functional. It will work better if you carefully consider the drainage when you are buying your basket or pot.
Good luck with your herb gardening. Be sure to let me know how your herb garden grows.
Here is more information on Windowsill Herb Garden. Here is a website with a free mini-course dedicated to Herb Gardens.
Are You Thinking Of Growing Herbs In Pots?Filed under: Uncategorized; Tagged as: grow herbs pots, growing herbs in a container, growing herbs in a pot, growing herbs in container, Growing Herbs in Containers, Growing Herbs in Pots, How to Grow Herbs in Pots
Herbs can be grown quite effectively indoors in pots or containers. They can also be grown in window boxes or hanging baskets. It is not really any more difficult than growing herbs outside in the garden. Indeed as you would expect, indoor herbs require the same conditions to grow as those outside. Click here for more: growing herbs in containers
The three things all plants need are; sunlight water and soil. Herbs are no exception. Obviously sunlight is crucial to growing any kind of plant including herbs, indoors or outdoors. When growing indoors, place your herbs in a south or west facing position to make maximum use of the available sunlight. Although there are a few herbs with specific light needs, all of them need a sunny bright spot in the house. It is possible for some herb growers to enhance natural light sources with fluorescent or 'grow' lamps.
Herbs also need a well drained, not too rich soil to grow in. Add two parts of sterilized potting soil with one part coarse sand or perlite for herbs that are grown in containers. Make sure you put about an inch of sand into the base of each pot or container to help with the drainage. Indoor herbs like to be given with a teaspoon a lime (per 5 inch pot) to help sweeten the soil.
For more visit our blog: Herb Gardening Blog
Your potted herbs will also need a good supply of water. Misting the plants and moistening the pebbles will help to keep the herbs within humid conditions. Since they are being grown in containers they do need to have more water than herbs that are grown in a garden but, you should avoid getting the roots of the herbs drenched or soggy. One of the main advantages of growing herbs in a container or pot is the ability to move them.
Annual herbs can spend all of their time indoors but, perennial herbs do better if they were to be placed outside during the summer. Although all herbs should be brought inside before the first frost in order to avoid the loss of foliage. This rule is overlooked when it comes to mint, chives, and tarragon. That is because these herbs will become dormant in a light frost leading to a healthier growth afterward. All herbs can be grown in containers but some herbs do better then others. Mint can get out of hand if left to it's own devices and is better contained.
It is reasonably easy to maintain a herb garden inside. The herbs are within easy reach for cooking for example. And the information above should enable you to keep a healthy herb plant. It's also a good idea to repot your herbs once a year and give a light feed every so often. Remember also to move perennials outside in warmer weather and to replant annuals. Plus, use your herbs as much as you want as well as harvest them occasionally. It is no secret that pruning plants it encourages new growth. Herbs are no exception. So dry them, store them and add them to your cooking recipes! Click here for more: Herb Garden Information
Window Box Herb GardensFiled under: Uncategorized; Tagged as: herb garden, window box herb garden, Window Herb Garden, windowsill herb garden
Why a Window Box Herb Garden
Growing your own window herb garden can be fun, rewarding and it can save you a lot of money. Any professional chef or even part time, for fun chefs can tell you that the most costly ingredients in any dish are the herbs. You may only use a pinch of this and a dash of that but initially you have to buy a whole container which is not cheap.
That's why many people choose to grow their own herbs. And not all of us have that large garden plot to grow our herbs, so many of us resort to window boxes, window sills or containers. For more informantion on Herbs and herb gardening visit Window Herb Garden
Window herb gardens require only a pot to put the herbs in, of course the seeds, some fertilizer or just plain dirt, some water and a lot of love and attention. Herbs aren't very difficult to grow. Provided they are not neglected too often, watered when they appear a little dry and given lots of sunshine in a bright window, you will find that they flourish quite easily without much effort.
They Add Color
Apart from the benefits to having a ready supply of herbs for cooking, herbs can add an array of color to your windowsill. Beautiful greens and whites, some yellows and other lush colors is what you get when you finally successfully grow all your own herbs in your window herb garden. The only difficult part is actually having to grow them! For more informantion on Herbs and herb gardening click here: Windowsill Herbs
How To Start
If you don't have a green thumb and you have no idea how to grow anything at all, even weeds, then you should do a little research first. Most garden stores will have stock of window herb garden kits or pre planted herbs that just need water to get them to grow. But it is always a good idea to surf the net for ideas and information on growing your favorite herbs in your own window herb garden.
It then becomes just as easy to get your own pot, seeds and soil and do it yourself. Once done you can then watch your own self made window herb garden blossom. This way you should always have a good supply of your own flavorful herbs to use in the kitchen. They smell pretty good too!

Types of Herb Garden PlantsFiled under: Uncategorized; Tagged as: herb garden plant, herb garden plants, herb plant, herb plants, herbs plants, plant herbs
Like any other plant, herbs come in annuals, biennials and perennials. There are many different types of herbs and each one is different. If you are interested in a specific type of herb, you should research that one to understand the care it needs and how to use it properly. This article will get you started in understanding general different types of herb plants and what they are used for. Annuals like basil, cilantro, and summer savory will not survive a frost. They need to be planted from a seed or a small plant every year. Perennials like sage and winter savory can survive colder temperatures and will return year after year. Click here for more: herb plant
Biennials are Herb plants that only survive two seasons. In the first they form leaves and in the second, befor they die, flowers and seed. Sow biennials in late spring straight into the garden. Examples of biennials are angelica, parsley and caraway. Prepare the soil first by working it to a fine texture and wet it slightly. Shallow plant the seeds in rows before firming the soil on top of them. Fine seeds can be planted in a mixture of sand which will allow them to spread more evenly. You can also cover the bed with wet burlap or paper in order to keep the soil moist during germination. You can categorize herbs by the groups for which they are used. Culinary herbs are probably the modt useful to herb gardeners. They provide a vast range of menu options in cookery.
Because of their strong flavors, herbs like chives, thyme, basil, sage, savory, and marjoram are generally used in small quantities to add flavor to different types of food. Parsley is an extremely popular herb that is used mostly as a garnish. Fragrant herbs have wonderful smelling foliage or flowers. Oils from aromatic herbs like loyage, mint, and rosemary can be used to make different types of perfumes, toilet water, or other various scents. Parts of aromatic herb plants used intact can also be used in the home to scent linens or clothing. For more visit our blog: Herb Gardening Blog
Drying them will allow them to retain their aroma for longer and be used in products such as potpourri. Great herbs for this are lemon verbena and lavender. Some herbs are also used for medicinal purposes. For centuries herbs have been thought to have the ability to cure the body. Present medical knowledge recognizes that some herbs are beneficial to one's health, others are overrated. Herbs used for medicinal purposes should be used carefully. Some herbs are harmless but others can be dangerous if eaten.
Many herbs are used for entirely different reasons other than their fragrance healing properties or flavor. They can be used for their shear splendor. can have brilliantly colored flowes and foliage. Herbs like valerian have white flowers with crimson blossoms and borage and chicory have splendid blue flowers. While herbs can be categorized into these different categories of uses, many herbs have multiple purposes. For example, mint may be used for cooking, tea, and pest control. By taking the time to understand herbs, whatever your reason, you will be able to choose the ones most beneficial to you. Click here for more: Herb Gardens

Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the best known and widely read English novelists out there, and her 1811 book Sense and Sensibility, which she signed anonymously "A Lady," was the book that kicked off her career. It focuses on Elinor and Marianne, sisters who are left impoverished after their father Mr. Dashwood dies, whose estate goes to his son. They move to a cottage on a relative's property where there are boys in the mix: the shy Edward and the dashing Willougby. Romance and heartbreak ensue.
The title of the book refers to the character of each sister, though the words sense and sensibility held different meanings in early 19th century England. 'Sense' referred to intelligence and 'Sensibility' to the emotions, and though each sister embodies one of these characteristics, Austen is artistically vague about which belongs to whom. The tension in the book resides in the question of whether or not the duality between their personalities will be resolved, and whether or not they find love and happiness. For those who haven't read Austen's work, Pride and Prejudice is thought to be simpler (though not "simple") and more accessible than her later books, so it's a great place to start.

Pride and prejudice was the first Austen I read, and I enjoyed it a great deal. Sadly, it was not the same with S and S. I struggled to complete the book, mentally comparing it unfavorably to a Harlequin romance novel. I did finish it, but without feeling I had gained something from the task. Mostly I am horrified by what empty lives these people lived, and how fixated they are on their unearned income. Yuck!

Food safety, grading and labeling laws may seem complicated to beekeepers who are hobbyists or just trying to earn a little extra money. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get. Before you set up your facilities, be sure to contact your local town, village, or city and county governments to find out if there are local ordinances you need to meet to process and/or sell your honey. Farmer's markets may have their own rules, too.
What kind of license do I need?What kind of facilities and equipment do I need?What is grading?What are the standards for Wisconsin grades?What does my label need to say?
You don't need a license if:
Even if you don't need a license, you do need to follow the other regulations discussed here.You need a retail license if:
You need a food processor license if:
Back to top
Whether or not you require a license, if you're going to sell your honey, you must have a separate room dedicated to your food business with commercial-grade equipment. This means you can't extract, process, or bottle your honey in the same kitchen where you cook your family meals, or in any room that's part of your normal living space. Because honey is not a potentially hazardous food, we're not looking for operating-room sterility, but you do need to have equipment in good repair and maintain good sanitation in the place where you handle honey. Some specifics:
Read the entire rule that covers food processing plants here.
What is grading?
You can grade your honey according to Wisconsin standards, U.S. Department of Agriculture standards, or not at all. But if you do, it's an all-or-nothing proposition. If you sell part of a year's crop as graded honey, you must sell it all as graded. The only exception is that you can sell ungraded honey from your own premises even if you've sold graded honey at a farmer's market. Grade standards don't apply if you process your honey by adding flavoring, coloring, or other ingredients, or by creaming or whipping.
You do your own grading, based on Wisconsin standards listed in ATCP 157, available here.
Comb honey – Wisconsin Fancy White must:
Comb honey – Wisconsin No. 1 must:
Comb honey – Wisconsin No. 2 is good quality comb honey that falls below the standards for Fancy White or No. 1.
Cut comb honey – Wisconsin Fancy White must:
Cut comb honey – Wisconsin No. 1 must:
Extracted honey – Wisconsin Fancy White must:
Extracted honey – Wisconsin No. 1 must:
Extracted honey – Wisconsin No. 2 must
Chunk Honey – Wisconsin Fancy White must:
Chunk honey – Wisconsin No. 1 must:

The Grammar Section of the SAT Test will ask you to identify errors in several question types. Before you take the SAT Writing Test, thoroughly study basic grammar rules. It will help you recognize errors quickly.
Part 1: Sentence Correction
This section asks you to read a sentence. A portion of the sentence will be underlined. It is your job to find the error in the underlined portion and replace it with a better answer, if necessary. Note that option a. is always "no error" or "I accept the sentence as it is presented in the question." About 20% of your answers will be option a. or "no error."
There will be about 24-26 questions of this type, in two different sections.
Let's try a few:
1. When asked about his exam score, his parents realized that the test had been too hard for Billy, who was quiet.
- his parents realized that the test had been too hard for Billy, who was quiet.
- the test proved too hard for Billy, his parents realized, when he was too quiet.
- Billy did not do well on the test, his parents realized when he was too quiet.
- his parents knew the test had been too hard; Billy remained quiet.
- Billy was quiet; his parents realized that the test had proved too hard for him.
This question is testing your ability to spot a misplaced modifier. "When asked about HIS exam score…." Whose exam score? The parents? No. The test? No. So, any answer that starts with "his parents" or "the test" are wrong. It has to be "Billy," which leaves us with answers c. and e. Answer e. makes a much better sentence.
2. When seeing her baby boy for the first time, Lakshmi cried out with a mixture of happiness, excitement, and she was relieved.
- a mixture of happiness, excitement, and she was relieved.
- both a mixture of happiness and some excitement and relief as well.
- a mixture of happiness, excitement, and relief.
- happiness, excitement, relief, and a mixture of the three.
- a mixture of both happiness and excitement, and she was relieved as well.
This question is testing your ability to spot the break in parallelism. The phrase "a mixture of happiness, excitement, and…" must continue with another noun, i.e. the word "relief." This will give the sentence parallelism. Answer c is correct.
Answer c. also provides the most clean, uncluttered phrasing. The SAT Test Writers want you to be able to spot repetitiveness and words that do not add anything important to the sentence, so watch out for extra, empty words.
3. Although Dan Quayle was a well-regarded senator and vice president until he famously misspelled the word "potato" at an elementary school spelling bee.
- Although Dan Quayle was a well-regarded senator and vice president
- Dan Quayle, although a well-regarded senator and vice president,
- Dan Quayle, a well regarded senator and vice president,
- Dan Quayle was a well-regarded senator and vice president
- Despite the fact that Dan Quayle was a well-regarded senator and vice president,
Question 3. is testing to see if you can distinguish between similar phrases to determine which one fits best with the second part of the sentence.
The word "until" is very important here. You have to find which option works with "until" and still makes a complete sentence. Only option d. can make it work. Option c. looks okay, until you realize that it lacks a verb, leaving you with a sentence fragment.
Part 2: Grammar and Usage Errors
Grammar and Usage Errors asks you to find the error in a sentence. Several words and phrases will be underlined and you must pinpoint the letter which is underneath the incorrect one. Again, there is a "no error" option, which is always answer e.
There will be 16-19 questions of this type in one section.
Here are a few for practice:
1. PerhapsAthe most famousBattack of the American Civil War beingCPickett's ill-fatedDcharge at the Battle of Gettysburg. No error.E
This question is seeing if you can find the misuse of the verb "to be" in the word "being," option c. "Being" should be "is" or "was." Using the word "being" makes this a sentence fragment.
2. Garlic Mustard is an aggressive, invasiveAplant species which can be foundBcovering the ground in forestsCall over the eastern halfDof the United States. No Error.E
Look at each underlined phrase. Do you see anything wrong? No? Then, the correct answer is E, no error.
3. Dominic consideredA Caleb hisBbest friend, whichChe couldDcall any time for help. No Error.E
The word "which" here is wrong. "Which" can only be used to describe an object. People are referred to as who or whom, (whom, in this case because it is the object, not the subject, of the phrase… "He could call whom").
Other tricky questions of the SAT:
The SAT will often switch in the middle of the question, switching plurals to singulars, switching tenses, and switching point of view.
For example:
1. The city of Louisville, Kentucky, boasting world class museums and five star restaurants, are best known for its horse-racing facility, Churchill Downs.
2. If you expect to understand how to write an essay, whether for school or work, he or she must first understand structure.
Do you see the switches?
The SAT will also be vague:
3. Despite the fact that Jonah and Seth were the smallest players on the teams, he was able to score the most points in the tournament.
Do you see the error?
The SAT will set up wrong comparisons:
4. Although I love Chinese food of any kind, I've found that the restaurants in San Francisco are much better than any other city.
Do you see the two elements that are wrongly being compared?
Can't figure these out? For answers to these questions, see the bottom of the page.
Part 3: Essay Improvement
Essay Improvement can be most difficult part of the SAT Writing Section, especially if you are not confident in your writing skills. It asks you to read a poorly written essay and make improvements. The Essay Improvement Section is always last in the long grammar section, so you must leave yourself time to do it. It tends to be time consuming. Again, if you are finding yourself stuck, or you are facing a question with very long answer choices, skip the question and come back to it later. You will need to read one essay and answer 6-8 questions.
First, read the essay quickly to get the basic idea. Here's an example of an essay.
(1) Edouard Manet was a famous and influential French painter. (2) He shouldn't be confused with Claude Monet, who painted Water Lilies. (3) Water Lilies is one of my favorite paintings. (4) Manet painted art in many different styles and about many different subjects. (5) He is known for combining the two styles of Realism and Impressionism.
(6) Edouard Manet was born in 1832 and lived most of his life in Paris. (7) He tried to join the navy, but couldn't pass the examination, for one reason or another. (8) After attending art school, he opened his own gallery. (9) Displaying his works of art which mainly featured regular people around town, in cafes, or on the street. (10) His painting style resembled that of photographs, which was a recent French invention. (11) He used a lot of black in his paintings.
(12) Later in life, Manet switched to more Impressionistic painting, he was influenced by the other painters of his day. (13) But he never stopped painting regular people and he never stopped using his favorite color, black.
Here are some questions that might be asked.
1. Which sentence should be omitted from the essay?
- Sentence 7
- Sentence 3
- Sentence 6
- Sentence 13
- Sentence 10
Answer b. is correct. The fact that the author enjoys a painting by another painter is the MOST irrelevant to the essay.
2. In context, which is the best way to fix sentence 12?
- (as it is now)
- Later in life, Manet switched to Impressionistic painting, consequently because he was influenced by the other painters of his day.
- Later in life, Manet experimented with Impressionistic painting, which was rising in popularity.
- When he got older, Manet, finding that he was moving toward Impressionistic painting, and finding that he was influenced by other popular painters.
- Later in life, Manet leaned toward Impressionism, he was influenced by other painters.
Answer a. is a run-on sentence, answer b. is wordy ("consequently because?"), answer d. is a sentence fragment, and e. is a run-on sentence. Only answer c. is correct, succinct, and makes the point.
3. Which sentence would be the best addition after sentence 11?
- The use of black sets his paintings apart from his contemporaries, the Impressionists, who were using mostly pastels.
- Manet painted a series of large canvasses depicting the execution of Emperor Maxmilian of Mexico.
- Although Manet is noted for painting the activities of regular townspeople, he also painted the upper classes.
- Black paint is often used as a defining paint which can be used for creating density, shadows, and outlines.
- Many of Manet's paintings were considered scandalous.
The correct answer is a. It is the sentence which connects the end of the second paragraph with the beginning of third paragraph. Answers b., c., and e., are correct statements, but they do not make for a cohesive essay when placed after sentence 11. Answer d. is also true, but is irrelevant to the essay.
Answers to Other Tricky Questions of the SAT
- City is singuar, so the verb must be singular as well. So "are" should be "is."
- Since the sentence starts with "you," it must continue with this point of view. Therefore, "he or she" should be "you."
- Which player scored the most points? Seth or Jonah? The word "he" needs to be more specific.
- This sentence is comparing restaurants to "any other city." It needs to read "are much better than those of any other city."

Activists continue to protest Western & Southern's treatment of the Anna Louise Inn, which has been helping women in the Lytle Park neighborhood for more than a century. CityBeat last week reported the details of Western & Southern's failure to purchase the property when it had the chance and the company's subsequent attempts to force the Inn to leave the neighborhood anyway.
The Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition, released a statement on Saturday describing the protest banner as proof for local and national leaders that Western & Southern's actions won't be tolerated. The statement read: "We will continue to up the ante until you stop attacking the hard-working women of the Anna Louise Inn."
Josh Spring, executive director of the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition, said in an email to CityBeat that the plane flew for two 30-minute stints on Sunday. Spring said protesters distributed 2,000 flyers outside the tournament's gates and that the people who learned what Western & Southern was doing generally expressed frustration. The banner was made possible by contributions from several local organizations, including Occupy Work and Wages, Amos Project, the Homeless Coalition, SEIU Local 1, Mount Auburn Presbyterian church and other concerned citizens and groups.
The banner asks people to go to stpws.com to learn more. The website redirects to www.southernwestern.net, which is the site where activists finally were able to publish a satirical video parodying a Western & Southern spokesperson proud of his company's attacks on the Anna Louise Inn. The video was originally posted in June to YouTube and Vimeo, but was removed for copyright infringement shortly after Western & Southern found out about it. Western & Southern didn't return CityBeat's calls back then asking whether or not W&S was involved in forcing the removal of the video. The website includes a change.org petition asking Western & Southern to stop suing the Anna Louise Inn.
Cincinnati's Historic Conservation Board is scheduled to hear arguments on Aug. 27 that could lead to a conditional use permit and allow the Anna Louise Inn to move forward with a renovation Western & Southern stalled by suing the Inn. It will take place 3 p.m. on the seventh floor of 805 Central Ave.
Read this week's CityBeat cover story on the issue here.
The Denver Post reported Thursday that Metromix, a series of entertainment websites owned by Enquirer parent Gannett Co., is closing its localized websites in seven cities.
Metromix is closing its website operations in Denver, Atlanta, Cleveland, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Tampa and Washington, D.C. Each of the markets is where Gannett owns a television station but not a newspaper.
The Cincinnati Enquirer earlier today posted fake data on its website showing Mitt Romney with a 92,000-vote lead in a supposed early vote count in Ohio. Editors later posted an apology, explaining that the election-results chart was created as a template and was inadvertently posted early.
The Enquirer explained the error: "A Cincinnati.com front-page link to a chart with dummy data, created as a design template for election results, was inadvertently posted early Tuesday morning. It purported to show early voting totals in Ohio counties. However, no votes have been counted yet — by law counting doesn't start until the polls close. Cincinnati.com regrets the error."
The correction came a bit
too late, however. Conservative-leaning Drudge Report had already
tweeted the false results before the apology was published, and journalism blogger Jim Romenesko called The Enquirer out on it.
Providing voting results before polls close is typically frowned upon in media circles to avoid discouraging voters with potentially disappointing numbers.
The FTC says it wants $37.5 million from Trudeau to compensate consumers of another diet book he authored. It was a best seller called Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You Know About. Trudeau says he doesn't have the money to pay the fine and court documents describe him as being hounded by the government. In Cincinnati federal court, Global Information Network, which goes by the acronym GIN, contends its assets should not be targeted by the subpoena because Trudeau "is not, and never has been, an owner, manager, officer or director of GIN." But the judge said the bank records were "relevant to determining whether Trudeau has used GIN to conceal his assets."
The FTC said there is evidence showing that the offshore company has significant financial ties with Trudeau and his wife. It cited emails and money transfers, including $261,000 in checks from GIN that went into accounts controlled by Trudeau. The government said they were Fifth Third bank accounts.
Trudeau was banned from doing infomercials that made false claims in 2004. He settled charges he misrepresented a product called "Coral Calcium Supreme," which was based on Japanese coral and could cure cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, lupus and other illnesses. The FTC called him a "prolific marketer" who specialized in health benefit infomercials. When he settled the case, Trudeau did not admit guilt. "This ban is meant to shut down an infomercial empire that has misled America n consumers for years. Other habitual false advertisers should take a lesson, mend your ways or face serious consequences."
In her decision, Dlott said the Fifth Third accounts were needed in the government's quest for the $37.5 million Trudeau owes for the consumer fraud fine: "The FTC has provided sufficient evidence establishing GIN's bank account records are relevant to its investigation into Trudeau's undisclosed assets and are sought for good cause."
In a stark turnabout from the company's previous position involving the incident, Cintas Corp. has settled a lawsuit filed by the wife of an employee who was burned to death in an industrial dryer at an Oklahoma facility.
When Eleazar Torres-Gomez was killed at the Cintas laundry near Tulsa, Okla., in March 2007, the company took no responsibility and blamed him for his death. Further, Cintas initially tried to block Torres-Gomez's family from claiming workers compensation benefits.
Six months ago today, 26 children and adults were slaughtered at the hands of Adam Lanza and a semi-automatic Bushmaster XM12 E2S rifle inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., one of the deadliest school shooting massacres in U.S. history. As parents, friends, family and gun control advocates around the country mourn and commemorate the loss of life, Ohio gun rights advocates are worried about something else.
Their concern: how to make it easier for Ohio citizens to obtain high-round magazines for their semi-automatic weapons.
A new Ohio House Bill introduced by State Rep. John Becker (R-Union Township) could, if passed, allow people to purchase high-round magazines for semi-automatic weapons, removing language from the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) that currently restricts use of magazines exceeding 31 rounds for semi-automatic weapons.
Specifically, the proposed bill would remove the definition of "automatic firearm" from section 2923.11 from the ORC that currently qualifies a weapon traditionally defined as a semi-automatic firearm (which operated by firing only once for each pull of the trigger) as an automatic firearm under Ohio law when used with a magazine holding greater than 31 rounds of ammunition.
Gun rights advocates are in favor of deleting the line because qualifying a semi-automatic as an automatic weapon under Ohio law (dependent on magazine size) subjects gun owners to greater background checks and stricter purchasing restrictions, which they consider an unlawful hassle and burden.
Jim Irvine, Chairman of the Buckeye Firearms Association, says that the sentence Becker has proposed to remove is one that inherently conflicts the actual definition of an automatic weapon; he says it doesn't make sense to qualify a semi-automatic weapon under the same umbrella as an automatic weapon when the two are entirely different types of firearms.
He says that the issue is one of convenience for most semi-automatic gun owners, including himself. "Loading up magazines can take time," he says. "When I go to the shooting range I want to use my time up shooting, not reloading."
That extra time, though, is exactly the point of the wording in the ORC, explains Toby Hoover, executive director for the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence. Limited magazines were what eventually stopped the Arizona gunman who shot former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords because a bystander was able to attack the shooter when he dropped a magazine while trying to reload.
Hoover asserts that gun rights advocates like Irvine are being subversive in their reasons for wanting to change the changed law.
She says the legal issue is not that the ORC is trying to directly equate semi-automatic weapons to automatic weapons — they clearly operate differently — but that grouping them together using that magazine restriction is a common-sense way to define them both as dangerous, unnecessary forms of firearms that simply shouldn't be readily accessible to the average gun owner. Semi-automatic weapons are extremely easy to purchase in Ohio, she says, while purchasing automatic weapons involves many more complicated restrictions and regulations.
"I'm just really upset with the way they [Ohio Republicans and gun lobbyists] are ignoring the fact that people in Ohio want gun restrictions. They're just going the opposite direction," she says. "If they're really concerned about the wording of the law, just have them maybe separate the definitions but keep the restrictions the same."
Ohio is one of several states monitor magazine limits on semi-automatic weapons, she explains, so it's not unusual at all that the ORC does so.
Adam Lanza, Sandy Hook's shooter, had several 30-round magazines on him and was also carrying two handguns. It's estimated he used somewhere between four and 10 magazines during the shootings, which took place over a matter of minutes.
The bill has been assigned to the House's Transportation, Public Safety and Homeland Security committee, where it currently awaits hearing
Keller's IGA, located at 319 Ludlow Ave. in Clifton, shut down Thursday citing tax issues. While the doors are still locked, it has been announced that the store's liquor license is no longer suspended.
Cliftonites have been shopping at IGA's Ludlow location since 1939. Nestled near Arlin's Bar and Esquire Theater, Keller's was one of the only grocery stores in walking distance from The University of Cincinnati and has been a staple for many students and locals, especially those on foot.
While there is a CVS Pharmacy and United Dairy Farmer's nearby, the closest full-service grocery stores are the Kroger stores on West Corry Street (1.5 miles away) and off Spring Grove Avenue (1.7 miles away). The absence of Keller's not only leaves locals with fewer shopping options, but leaves a gap in array of locally-owned businesses in the Gaslight District.
While many former Keller's shoppers will turn to new stores where they can purchase deli items and fresh produce, they will most likely have to forgo supporting a neighborhood store and resort to a larger chain. A sign on Keller's door urges patrons to do what they can to save this local business.

As an attorney and lobbyist at Keating, Muething & Klekamp (KMK), mayoral candidate John Cranley helped payroll company Paycor finalize plans to move its headquarters — and 450 to 500 jobs with it — from Queensgate in Cincinnati to Norwood, Ohio.
Specifically, KMK helped Paycor and Norwood set up a tax credit deal to incentivize the company's relocation. Throughout the
process, the law firm called on several of its employees, including
Cranley, to help with the negotiations.
For Paycor, the move comes after more than two decades in Cincinnati. The company originally looked in Cincinnati for bigger headquarters with better parking options, but ultimately couldn't find a location to its liking, according to a May 2012 memo from the city manager. So when Paycor found a location outside city limits and worked out a tax incentive package with Norwood and Ohio, it decided to move.
Cities and states often deploy incentive packages, ranging from property tax abatements to deductions on income taxes, to attract and retain companies. Pure Romance, a $100-million-plus "relationship enhancement" company, recently agreed to move from Loveland, Ohio, to downtown Cincinnati after securing such a tax deal with the city.
Paycor broke ground on its new headquarters in December and plans to move there next spring. The transition will pull 450 to 500 employees out of Cincinnati, and the company plans to add another 250 to 300 employees over time at its new facilities.
Cranley campaign manager Jay Kincaid says Cranley and KMK won't comment on the details of their work with Paycor or other clients for ethical reasons. But Kincaid says Cranley was just doing his job after Paycor went to KMK, not the other way around.
"In the legal profession you're asked to represent clients, and you do it to the best of your ability," Kincaid says. "At the time I don't think (Cranley) was even running for office. The firm came to him and said, 'Hey, we have a job that we need you to work on.' And he did the work, just like anyone else would at their job."
Norwood City Council approved the deal with Paycor on Oct. 23, 2012. Cranley announced his mayoral campaign three weeks later, on Nov. 14.
Cranley's critics argue that a mayoral candidate shouldn't be helping companies leave the city he wants to lead.
"It is disappointing that John (Cranley) helped Paycor leave the city with its over 450 tax-paying jobs. His efforts undercut the city's efforts to retain jobs and businesses," said Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who is running against Cranley, in an emailed statement.
The move comes despite Cincinnati's various attempts to hang on to Paycor, including previous tax deals. In 2001, then-Councilman Cranley and the rest of City Council approved tax incentives to keep the company in Cincinnati, retain its 142 jobs at the time and create another 25. The city administration estimated the deal would cost the city $225,750 and generate $546,000 in net tax revenue over five years.
In 2006, Cranley and seven council members approved another incentive package to further secure Paycor's stay in Cincinnati.
But the deals also required Paycor to remain in Cincinnati through 2015. Since Paycor's move violates the agreement, the city administration says it plans to claw back some of the tax benefits given to the company.
In other words, Cranley in 2001 and 2006 approved tax deals with Paycor that the company, with his help, is now set to break.
City spokesperson Meg Olberding says the clawback process will begin after Paycor moves to Norwood in 2014. So if Cranley is elected by voters on Nov. 5, he would be mayor as the city is taking back some of the money it gave away.
Although the city is taking a hit, Cranley's relations with the payroll company appear unscathed. Paycor CEO Bob Coughlin contributed $1,100 to Cranley's campaign on Aug. 20, according to campaign finance reports.
Updated with more details about the tax deals between Cincinnati and Paycor.
The Anna Louise Inn today won another case in front of the Cincinnati Zoning Board of Appeals. The ruling upheld a Historic Conservation Board decision that gave Cincinnati Union Bethel, which owns the inn, a conditional use permit that will allow the social service agency to carry on with a planned $13 million renovation. Western & Southern in a statement given to reporters following the decision vowed to appeal the ruling.
At the hearing, Western & Southern attorney Francis Barrett, who is
the brother of Western & Southern CEO John Barrett, continued his
argument that the Anna Louise Inn is a "high-crime area." The accusation
is meant to disqualify the Inn for the conditional use permit, which
requires that the building's use will not be detrimental to public
health and safety or negatively affect property values in the
neighborhood. During an Aug. 27 hearing, the Historic Conservation Board found no direct evidence connecting residents of the Anna Louise Inn to
criminal activity in the neighborhood.
Barrett also emphasized Western & Southern's stance that continuing on the current path set by the Historic Conservation Board is a waste of taxpayer money because the Inn is receiving public funds. Barrett labeled the funds "excessive expenditures." However, that argument has little bearing on whether the Inn deserves a conditional use permit, because it's not relevant to zoning laws and rules.
Tim Burke, Cincinnati Union Bethel's attorney, began his defense of the Anna Louise Inn by calling the ongoing case one of the most "frustrating" of his career. He suggested Western & Southern is just continuing its attempts to delay the Inn's renovations as much as possible.
Regarding the charge that the Anna Louise Inn has adverse effects on public health and safety, Burke told the Zoning Board of Appeals that the only adverse effect is on Western & Southern because "they want the property and can't get it." He claimed there is no proof that the Anna Louise Inn perpetuates crime in the area, and testimony and evidence presented in the case has proven as much.
The case is only one of many in the ongoing conflict between Cincinnati Union Bethel and Western & Southern, which CityBeat previously covered in-depth ("Surrounded by Skyscrapers," issue of Aug. 15). Cincinnati Union Bethel wants to renovate the Anna Louise Inn in part with $10 million in tax credit financing from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency and a $2.6 million loan funded by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that was awarded by the city. Western & Southern says it wants to use the Lytle Park area, where the Inn is located, for private economic development.
The series of cases began when Judge Norbert Nadel ruled on May 27 that the Anna Louise Inn classifies as a "special assistance shelter," which requires a different kind of zoning permit than the previous classification of "transitional housing." That ruling was appealed by Cincinnati Union Bethel to the Ohio First District Court of Appeals, which held hearings on Oct. 30 and is expected to give a ruling soon.
A Cincinnati outdoor advertising company announced Tuesday that it will take down controversial billboards that opponents claim are aimed at intimidating voters.
Norton Outdoor Advertising had been contracted to put up about 30 billboards that read "Voter Fraud is a Felony!" The billboards also listed the maximum penalty for voter fraud — up to 3 and a half years and a $10,000 fine.
Opponents of the billboards claim they were strategically placed in predominantly low-income and black neighborhoods in Cincinnati as a means to discourage those largely Democratic voters from going to the polls.
The billboards were funded by an anonymous "private family foundation."
In a statement posted online, Norton Executive Vice President Mike Norton said the displays would be taken down as soon as possible. He wrote that the foundation and Norton agreed after hearing criticism that the sentiment surrounding the displays was contrary to their intended purpose.
The family foundation didn't intend to make a political statement, but rather make the public aware of voting regulations, he wrote.
"We look forward to helping to heal the divisiveness that has been an unfortunate result of this election year," Norton wrote.
Norton had previously told CityBeat that the billboards were not targeted but distributed randomly throughout the city.
Several Cincinnati officials wrote to the company requesting the billboards be taken down.
ClearChannel Outdoor Advertising announced on Monday that it was removing similar billboards in Cleveland and Columbus.
The billboards throughout Ohio had garnered national criticism and media attention.
A rival outdoor advertising company is putting up 10 new billboards to rebut the voter fraud ones.
The new red, white and blue billboards will read "Hey Cincinnati, voting is a right not a crime!"
Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld said in an emailed news release that he reached out to Lamar Advertising Company to ask if they would donate the billboards throughout Cincinnati.
"We should be encouraging folks to participate in our democratic process, not trying to scare them," Sittenfeld wrote. "I salute Lamar's generosity and their support in encouraging citizens to raise their voice and not be scared away."

One month ago, I scanned the blogs to see what was being talked about around the web when the line-up for the 66th Venice Film Festival was announced. The film's opening and closing ceremonies will be hosted by Italian actress Maria Grazia Cucinotta, star of "Il Postino." On Wednesday, the Venice Film Festival opens today with "Baarìa" by Giuseppe Tornatore ("Cinema Paradiso"). On the selection, festival director Marco Mueller said, ''The first time I saw Tornatore's film, I cried and laughed as if I was 14 years old."
Message board trolls are sure to come out in full force with the arrival of Michael Moore's new film "Capitalism: A Love Story." Moore debuted a new trailer to the film at his Traverse City Film Festival, and it has since hit the Interwebs. A push to see the film may be made all the more strong, as Moore has stated that this will be his last documentary for some time, returning to the fiction world he left with the John Candy-starrer "Canadian Bacon."
Gucci designer Tom Ford will premiere his new film, based on the 1964 Christopher Isherwood novel, "A Single Man." The film, Ford's debut, stars Colin Firth and Julianne Moore and is widely predicted to win the festival's third ever Queer Lion award. "Survival of the Dead," from the godfather of horror George A. Romero, has horror fans seething. The fan magazine Fangoria has reports from the film set posted and more to come. There's also the much talked about "Bad Lieutenant" remake, about which original director Abel Ferrara is famously pissed.
One of the festival's "surprise" selections, announced a week ago, "Green Days," is a docudrama based on the Iranian protests, featuring documentary footage and scripted scenes. The film, with a hot-button issue at the center of its plot, has been picked up for sale by Wild Bunch.
Also at the film festival is a retrospective panel of the works of Akira Kurosawa. According to an Associated Press report, Mueller said the festival is in talks with The Auteurs website to provide an outlet for films not picked up for regular distribution.

Model Bar Refaeli really wants to make a sex tape, but there's one problem: She doesn't think anyone would want to watch it. And that's where you could come in. (Insert sex joke here.) (Insert "insert" joke here.)

Forensic Scientist Job Description
The work of a forensic scientist is exciting, ever-changing, and incredibly unpredictable, but it can make a big difference in determining the outcome of a criminal case. As a forensic scientist, your job will be to analyze evidence collected from a crime scene. A team of criminal investigators will bring fibers, clothing samples, drugs, photos, and other forms of evidence for you to pick art, test, and analyze in a crime lab. There are many other components to a forensic scientist job description though, based on the sector of forensic science that you choose to work in. Review some of the options below to learn what the job duties are for different forensic scientists in the criminal justice system.
Forensic Science Job Description for Biology
Many forensic scientists specialize in biology when the want to work heavily with DNA samples. A biological forensic scientist will extract DNA strands from body fluids and tissue samples to determine if a certain person was present at a crime scene, or if a weapon was used to commit a crime. In some cases, a forensic scientist will compare DNA samples to connect relatives with one another, or he or she may test a DNA sample against a database of other DNA information to identify a suspect in a crime. If you purely have a passion for DNA testing, this is the sector of forensic science for you.
Forensic Science Job Description for Chemistry
Forensic chemists conduct all of the chemical testing for evidence analysis. In most cases, they will examine trace evidence like blood splatters or soil to reconstruct the way a crime occurred. They have special tools that can pinpoint the chemical makeup of evidence samples, and they use that information to detect the presence of chemicals in a crime scene. Their work helps criminal investigators piece together the steps that happened before a crime was committed so they can put together a compelling case against a suspect.
Forensic Science Job Description for Document Examination
Document examination is a very specialized form of forensic science. Most people associate document examiners with signature authentication, where they analyze a signature on a document to determine if it came from a certain individual. These forensic scientists go way beyond that in their work though. A forensic scientist job description for a document examiner may include document dating, forgery detection, handwriting analysis, typewriting examination, and printing analysis. To work in this job, you will need an extensive knowledge of writing and printed documents, including the materials used to create them.
Forensic Science Job Description for Fingerprinting
Every human has a unique set of fingerprints, even identical twins. That is why fingerprint analysis has become such a significant part of forensic science over the years. If a scientist can review a person's fingerprints and determine that he or she touched a weapon used for a crime, that scientist may be able to prove that person is guilty of a criminal act. Fingerprint analysis is not easy, even though there are computers that help with the process. You will have to be very thorough in your work in order to properly analyze a set of fingerprints that come before you.
Forensic Science Job Description for Toxicology
Toxicologists must look over evidence samples to detect the presence of drugs, alcohol, or poisonous chemicals. These individuals have a similar forensic scientist job description to chemists, but they focus more on the detection of narcotics and hazardous materials. They will usually analyze body fluids during an autopsy, but they may also review physical evidence from a crime. It just depends on the kind of case they are trying to solve at the time. Their evidence is mostly used in murder cases to determine how a victim may have been killed.
Forensic Science Job Description for Weaponry
Weaponry experts are responsible for pinpointing the tools and deadly devices that may have been used in a crime scene. Some of these forensic technicians will look over marks on a door or wall to determine how a criminal may have gotten into a building, and others will review bullet shells left at a crime to figure out what gun might have been used to shoot someone. Forensic scientists in this field have to have a clear understanding of physics as they detect the path of a projectile in the air. If you feel that you have a decent grasp of physics and other sciences related to weaponry, this forensic scientist job description may be perfect for you.

Car Rentals
Most car rental agencies have offices around nearby L.A. International Airport. If you prefer to rent a car once you have arrived in Marina del Rey, several locations are available in the immediate Marina del Rey/Venice Beach area. Your hotel may also offer assistance in referring you to local car rental agencies.
Taxis are best utilized when traveling short distances in one area, particularly at night, when other public transportation may be less frequent. Los Angeles's large size makes taking a cab across the city very expensive.
There are nine franchise taxi operators in L.A. who operate more than 2,300 taxis. Look for the official Los Angeles Taxicab Seal before entering any cab. Taxicabs bearing the seal are insured, have trained drivers and are regularly inspected by the City of Los Angeles. Any cab without the seal is a bandit cab with no legal authorization to operate in the City.
You can't hail a taxi from the street in most parts of Los Angeles, but you can telephone for a taxi, or ask that your hotel or restaurant arrange a taxi for you.
To contact Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) Customer Service regarding taxi complaints or compliments, call 1 800 501 0999.
Public City Bus

323 466 3876
Santa Monica Blue Bus
310 451 5444
Culver CityBus
310 253 6510
Santa Monica Blue Bus is a great way to see the Westside. It can take you to Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, shopping at Third Street Promenade and Will Rogers State Beach just for starters. If you are feeling even more adventurous, then take the Big Blue to downtown Los Angeles for stops at the Music Center, Olvera Street, Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Geffen Contemporary at the MOCA and innumerable other destinations of interest. Big Blue also connects you to LAX, Santa Monica Airport, Greyhound Bus Station, Union AMTRAK Metro Station and all Metro Rail Lines.
The Culver City Green Bus Line carries riders on 44 buses across 25 square miles, encompassing the Westside communities of Marina del Rey, Venice, West Los Angeles, Westwood, Century City, Culver City, Palms, Westchester, Rancho Park and Mar Vista. You can connect to the MTA Green Line and Santa Monica Blue Bus.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), or Metro (buses are painted orange, black and white, or red) oversees 200 metro bus lines and three metro rail lines. Consider buying a Metro Day Pass which is valid all day on Metro buses (only).
MTA buses can get you almost anywhere. If your trip requires the use of more than one MTA bus line, you must pay the full fare for each line. Transfers between Metro (MTA) buses are not available.
Tips for riding the bus: There are many route options available to each destination. Research your plans, confirm your exact route, destination address, fare and transfer information before starting out on your journey by calling the bus lines directly.
Rates/schedules change frequently and without advance notice. Exact case fare is required; drivers do not carry change. Coins or bills are accepted as fare. Ask for transfers only when boarding the bus. If you are unsure of your stop, sit in the front of the bus near the driver in case you have questions.

- Finding your blossoms' perfect partner doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. For a small single bud, add a whimsical touch by going through your kitchen cupboards—a pretty china teacup, sugar bowl, egg cup or even the mortar from a mortar and pestle duo will do.
- To highlight the fluidity of a climber or multi-blooming stem, place it in an antique jug. This string of sweet peas (top left) flows like milk from this country style pitcher.
- A vintage perfume bottle (cleaned with bleach and rinsed thoroughly) is a whimsical homage to a sweetly scented bloom.
- Terrines or candy dishes filled with exuberant blooms offer an indulgence for the eyes rather than the palate.
- A classic favourite: antique glass preserve jars are inexpensive and easy to find. They give a fresh, nostalgic feel to floral arrangements.

Yup. The last engine Honda built for F1 was not great. But practically all of the others were, and their lack of success with Brawn had more to do with lack of focus than lack of ability. The new Honda will be competitive because the rules dictate it will. and for those who said it would not happen, well, it did, and let's hope Toyota and another are not far behind.

2013 Local Motors Rally Fighter
The Resident Motors Rally Fighter is still going sturdy 2 years after the very first deliveries of this 2000-unit purpose-built off-road racer's production run. With 50-state compliance on lighting and exhausts, the road-legal Rally Boxer runs a 6.2-liter V-8 to the huge back tires before getting to a tire-limited full throttle of 131 miles per hour.
Available for special orders from anywhere on the globe, the Rally Fighter is among the most special and impressive launch models from a new supplier. Outside the sloppy ruts of the English countryside and the mutant Land Rovers, like the Bowler EXR-S and RallyRaid DW3, many new supercar endeavors are focused on the 6-lane bother strips of central Dubai.
Regional Motors takes a totally different course, with its unique engineering and model procedure leveraging the interest and abilities of the net to attract R&D ability from around the globe.
The result is a steel space framework and collision cage that looks Armageddon-proof, and suspension trip and off-road prowess to quit a 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Scandal sheet in its tracks. The last piece of the Rally Fighter puzzle is this: styling so otherworldly that it causes additional of a stir in web traffic compared to taking the Gravedigger monster truck to the supermarket.
Regional Motors Rally Fighter.
The coupe-like profile of the Rally Boxer goes to once both quite striking as well as fairly perplexing if you are not clear regarding this design's back tale. The most up to date Rally Boxer has its very own customized taillights, switching out the previous OEM saves borrowed from Honda Civic coupe.
The Civic taillights informed the mind that this may be some sort of body swap, like placing a Lincoln Continental layer atop a Chevy Silverado?
Then the large dissonance arrived: this is no Civic coupe of any kind. The extremely raked back glass and torso decklid has looters and fender lumps never seen from any sort of Honda, while even the sculpted lesser bumper can not conceal what is plainly an auto racing prototype framework and suspension. Not a body swap, then but exactly what it is?
The mind keeps questioning this incredible creature while noticing its very high ride elevation, open wheel wells and apparent suspension parts. Moving to the profile, the fenders and deeply styled door panels are clearly unique and not shared with any sort of road or race car. A fuselage-like curve for the largest part of the physical body emphasizes the enormous stats of this device: at 80 inches vast and with a wheelbase of 115 inches, the mind is still attempting to understand what it sees.
The glasshouse is marked by virtually comically superficial window wells and twin silver lateral slashes over the A and B-pillars. Joined the giant front fenders and the front door reduce, finally a badge shows up: Rally Boxer.
In advance, a long supercar nose finishes with a cut front facet and open mesh grille areas for air induction. Solitary round lights are placed in the much edges of the front face, giving some of the trouble from the 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28. The purling Chevy V-8 exhaust face aligns with this look, finally permitting the mind to loosen up with 2 realities that match up.
The Rally Boxer is wonderful and interesting. Anticipate to lead a parade of baffled car men behind you, with at the very least 10 mins spent taking concerns from the crowd at every Layer station.
The new configurator finally lets Neighborhood Motors aggravate its model with all the wild carbon wraps, bullet hole graphics and untamed shades that this low-volume model enables. Just Morgan's Three-Wheeler looks as amazing with customized graphics and colors.

The Rally Fighter's interior is really remarkable thinking about the startup business's absence of major producer support. MasterCraft Baja RS seats in advance keep you in position when doing donuts in the dune, while the level red control panel of this example looks rather great compared to some rally vehicles.

The 6.2-liter GM LS3 Gen IV crate motor and transmission arrangement is just excellent for the Rally Boxer. Substantial and powerful with a distinct blat at complete throttle, this engine also provides remarkable performance and road-legal smoke abilities.
The Rally Fighter can also put on The golden state license plates – a testimony to the massive investment GM took on to modernize 1 of its most preferred engines.
The LS3 option additionally delivers a bullet-proof automatic transmission efficient in dealing with far more compared to stock torque outputs, but likewise providing a sluggish overdrive for relaxed road travelling.

No. With monster power, reduced gearing and gigantic wheels/tires/suspension travel, the Rally Fighter is greater than equipped to go across hills, rivers and dunes. Rear-drive likewise supplies some 'baja 2000 pre-punner' design happies and lots of contrary lock mechanics on loosened terrain.
Enjoyable is the label of the game, and the Rally Fighter wins whenever. A 6-second sprint to 60 miles per hour is possible on tarmac, sand or the Moon.

text: Man accused of schoolgirl abuse 27 Feb 2013 A Co Antrim man sexually abused and raped his schoolgirl neighbour for nine years, a jury has heard. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The Belfast Crown Court was told that although the alleged victim's ordeal at the hands of Gerard Auld, 28, ended in September 2007, the woman, now 23, did not feel able to come forward to report the allegations until 2009.Auld, with an address at Landgarve Manor in Crumlin, denies a total of eight offences including indecent assault, gross indecency and rape, allegedly committed on dates unknown between 5 September 1998 and 2 September 2007. Opening the Crown case again Auld, prosecution QC Jackie Orr warned the jury, of eight men and four women, that despite the nature of the sexual allegations, they would have to set aside any feelings of sympathy or prejudice and instead, decide the case on a common sense and calculated approach.She outlined how Auld and his alleged victim, who has waived her right to anonymity, had known each other for years and had lived across the street from each other, but that he began to sexually abuse the girl when she was around the age of nine.The lawyer said the woman would give evidence of how Auld "indecently touched her, exposed himself to her and twice had sex with her without her consent".The first alleged incident happened in the girl's bedroom when Auld allegedly bounced her up and down on his legs with the girl straddling him while allegedly touching himself, an act he committed "more than once" the jury heard.Although Ms Orr said there was then a gap of around two and a half years when the alleged victim was not abused or touched, it began again when she was aged around 11 and a half and allegedly received a phonecall from Auld.."He asked her to look out her bedroom window," claimed the lawyer.The girl looked out and as she did, she could see the defendant lying on a sofa in his house, completely naked, facing the window and with his hand on his genitals, the lawyer explained.The first alleged rape happened in the woman's own bedroom when she was around 17 and still in her school uniform, the jury heard.They were in her room as Auld had asked her to use her computer to look up cheap flights - but instead put his hand down her blouse and begged: "Let me, let me."When she threatened to call her mother, he allegedly "grabbed her by the hair and took off her tights" and raped her.Despite her protestations Auld carried on and when he was finished, Ms Orr said he went downstairs "said 'cheerio' to her mother and then left."Another alleged rape happened in his Manchester United decorated bedroom when he had sex with her on his bed despite her trying to push him away, but this time the alleged attack stopped when someone knocked the door and she managed to escape.Ms Orr told the jury that while the issue of consent may be raised during the trial, she suggested to them to "look again at the allegation and anything that was said or done in deciding whether there was consent in this case".When arrested and interviewed, Auld accepted he knew his alleged victim but regarding her allegations, he said: "It's right to say that from the start to the finish, he denied each and every one of the allegations."Ms Orr declared to the jury, however, that by the end of the case when they have heard all of the evidence "you will be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of each and every one of the charges".The trial continues.
