The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with veteran kicker Jeff Reed.

Carroll says Miller, Carlson will 'absolutely' play in tandem
RENTON – The signing of tight end Zach Miller doesn't have Pete Carroll scrambling to figure out what he's going to do with tight end John Carlson. The Seahawks coach already knows. And if Carroll's exuberance on Tuesday is any indication, there's no need for Carlson to worry about being shipped out. It doesn't appear […]

Confirmed: Seahawks agree to terms with TE Zach Miller
RENTON — The Seahawks confirmed on Tuesday that they have agreed to terms with Pro Bowl tight end Zach Miller, who was long expected to re-sign with the Oakland Raiders. Miller gives the Seahawks a big-time receiving threat at tight end. It's unclear yet how the move will impact John Carlson, the team's second-round pick […]

Confirmed: Seahawks will sign DE Jimmy Wilkerson
UPDATE: The Seahawks have confirmed they have agreed to terms with defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson. Aaron Wilson of Scout.com reported Tuesday morning that the Seahawks have agreed to terms with Wilkerson on a one-year, $1.5 million deal.

Report: Seahawks 'bent' on wooing Zach Miller to Seattle
Lots of reports out there about Pro Bowl tight end Zach Miller's visit to Seattle on Monday. But the most interesting language I've seen in regards to the reported visit comes from Bill Williamson of ESPN.com, who wrote that Miller is in Seattle visiting the Seahawks, who are "bent on keeping him there."

Robert Gallery will bring toughness, but he's no 'bad boy'
RENTON — Robert Gallery is a hulking man, standing 6-foot-7 and 325 pounds, and with his long hair in a pony tail and a large beard enveloping his chin, the veteran offensive lineman is capable of intimidating most other humans over which he stands. This image creates an illusion of the Seahawks new left guard […]

Jameson Konz, utility man
RENTON — Jameson Konz wears No. 46, and he's a tight end. So there was some confusion during Monday's practice when a player in a white, defense jersey — the offense wears blue — was donning the same number. Did the Seahawks sign another undrafted rookie? Nope. It was still Konz, only lined up at […]

I Wish My Son Was a Dog
Last year when the Manchester dog's home went up in flames I was watching the television and my first thought was how proud I felt that the UK was such a generous nation of animal lovers. However this was swiftly followed by my second, which was, how can we possibly justify raising of £2million for animals when there are children like my eight-year-old son, Harrison, dying every day from fatal illnesses. Harrison has Duchenne, a disease that means he probably won't live to see his 20th birthday. In 2011 I founded Harrison's Fund to raise money to fund research to develop a cure.

Patriotism is one thing, loyalty another
David Stern really believes in the Olympic Ideal, which is why he wears his Doctor Octopus suit when the topic of the NBA getting out of the Games comes up. He has too much time, energy and market share invested to fold 'em now.
Still, the NBA has so many more important fish to fry these days that the players' performance in Athens is purely Page Eight stuff. They either win and everyone yawns, or they lose and everyone yawns because the best and the brightest decided to chill back home.
In fact, most teams' management hates the idea as well. Even the Charlotte Bobcats, the NBA's newest team and therefore by definition the one with the least amount of corporate/marketing/league office leverage, wish out loud they could convince Emeka Okafor to skip Greece to get that master's degree in blocking out.
But the biggest reason this is a bad year for the league to Olympicize is that there is way juicier stuff going on here for anyone to spend much time sweating out the Slovenes.
The Lakers, you know about. Kobe wins the franchise but might leave. Phil loses Kobe and does leave. Shaq loses interest in the circus and insists upon leaving. Oh, and the trial starts in August. Somehow that Olympic update at 28/58 after the hour doesn't seem so vital.
Tracy McGrady still has two cities, Orlando and Houston, gripped by the news of his future. So does Steve Francis. Nearer New York, the Nets are trying to decide whether they can whack Kerry Kittles so they can have enough money to decide whether they can sign Kenyon Martin or Jason Kidd. Across the league, big-name players are in play as never before, and that means the teams not losing players are interested in the players they might get.
The freshest rumor has Kidd potentially going to -- Wait for this! -- the Warriors, on the theory that he wants to be closer to his boyhood home as well as the big fish in a tumbler of distilled water. How Golden State is supposed to fit him under its cap even after Erick Dampier opts out remains more trickery than strategy, but hey, it's the Warriors, and man does not live by 18-year-old Latvian draft choices alone.
Now it doesn't matter how it shakes out, either for Kidd or anyone else. They'll all end up playing somewhere, or somewhere else, and the speculation that fuels those stories beats The Dream Team Everyone Dreamt Of Leaving.
Now this is not some sort of anti-patriotic screed about the Olympics being unimportant in and of themselves. If you like to fly the flag and flex your various 'ceps (bi-, tri-, quadra-, etc.) over dope-clubbing Andorra in some sport they don't even play in Andorra, good for you. You get to vote your stock your way.
And this is not some cheap attempt to make Larry Brown feel like the guy with gum on the seat of his suit pants. He has struggled to persuade players to come with him to Athens, to the point where players such as Okafor are hugely important to avoid that sixth-place finish that will put the team on Page 1.
But facts are facts. Whatever the power of the Olympics, they don't stand a chance against the more telling weight of Bryant's rape trial -- Let's see here, the opening ceremonies or jury selection ... jury selection or the opening ceremonies ... ohh, the agony of choice -- let alone O'Neal's wanderlust, McGrady's whereabouts or Kidd's homing instincts. There has never been an offseason this weird, ever, and that includes the Yankees-Red Sox spitfest last winter.
Now next to that, what possible hope do the Olympics have of making you care?
Let me answer that for you. None. Watching them is strictly an eat-your-vegetables kind of exercise, so much so that Bobcats general manager Ed Tapscott wants his first draft choice ever to lay off the fiber and get busy with the comparative junk food of summer camps.
Thus, while you're hailing Okafor for his principled stand on behalf of Ol' Glory, make sure you also admit to yourselves that you won't be watching him make that stand.
Not unless he gets traded, cut or in trouble with the law. That's the NBA we know now.
So go team. Just keep the noise down, or we'll call the cops.

Santy's gone far with FFA, now wants to explore 4-H
A couple of years is as far as Kaleb Santy got with 4-H.
Family circumstances interrupted Santy's participation in the Maple Grove 4-H Club near his hometown of Pulaski, he said Friday. Besides, much of his life as a youth was focused more on agriculture and the FFA.
"I did show some baked goods and my gerbil," he said with a laugh, remembering an experience at the Shawano County Fair during that brief stint as a 4-Her.

Can you suggest a Food Processor?
Santa Baby brought me a beautiful, Meyer Lemon Yellow KitchenAid "Artisan" stand mixer. It's a tecnicolor dream come true.
Now I want a Food Processor. I'd like it to be bright yellow also, but I suppose I should consider such mundane choices as bowl size, attachments, power, capacity, etc.
I normally cook for two people. Sometimes I cook for 6-8 people. I don't want to skimp on power.
Can you suggest a good brand and model? I've never used a food processor.
Both Kitchenaid and Cuisinart are excellent. They have slightly different pluses and minuses but generally you can't go wrong with either.
Don't consider anything smaller than 11 cups.
I love my Cuisinart but others swear by KA.
Don't overthink it -- you can't go wrong either way.
I've had the Kitchen aid 11cup with the smaller insert bowl for about 15 years used it heavily, even for kneading bread/pasta dough. The engine has never bogged down.... The design is also very easy to clean... Ive even bought many of the accessories over the years, like the juicer, with good results.
I like Kitchenaid for the extra bowls and Cuisinart for the little pinhole in the pusher cup that drizzles oil at the perfect rate for making mayonnaise. When (if) my 19-yr-old Cuisinart dies, I'd be tempted to switch to Kitchenaid for the extra bowls - but I'd sure miss the mayo-friendly feature of the Cuisinart as I do make all of my own mayo.
Akonaut -- That is exactly the analysis that Cooks Illustrated had -- They liked the pinhole on the Cuisie but the multi bowls on the KA.
I have a little Cuisie which sits on the counter for small jobs so I love my larger Cuisie which doesn't sit on the counter and I take out for those times when I need a large food processor.
I wouldn't want the large food processor on my counter all the time so I wouldn't get the KA since the small bowl wouldn't help me.
From a quality point of view, both the KA and Cuisinart are great -- you can't go wrong with either one. If you have a lot of kitchen space and don't contemplate making sauces, then you would probably be fine with the KA out on the counter. Otherwise, you might be happier with a large Cuisie and a small Cuisie (the small Cuisie is only about $30).
Don't spend a lot of time worrying about your decision - they are both great makes.
I'm not a mayo maker (very rarely use it), but what's wrong with the hole in the KA feed tube? Or is that one of the advantages of having the top of the line Pro model, in addition to a little extra power and the gorgeous copper color of mine? I just looked at mine and the smaller black part of the feed tube has a pinprick hole that looks to me as if it would work for dribbling oil.
Jan -- Per CU, the KA Pro model is the only one more highly ranked than the Cuisinarts. The Cuisinarts are ranked more highly than the other KA models. -- Could be the pin prick and other factors. I'm not familiar with the difference between the various KA models.
I make mayo in my Cuisinart all the time. The little hole in the bottom of the feed tube insert allows oil to dribble in by drops, just for such a purpose. I use the same process to make Hollandaise sauce...because there's no place like home for the Hollandaise.
Does anyone have anything to say about the new Viking food processor? I'm considering one as a gift. It's pretty new, so I'm guessing there is not much of a track record out there. It appears to have the same accessories as the KA 11 cup (mini bowl, main blade, dough blade, 3 discs & storage), but is 12 cups. It also has a split feeder tube to allow lquids to be poured in while running. I think the knob to operate it is a nice touch and, of course, it has a striking look. It is more expensive ($300) and probably not worth the extra $$, but I am curious to see if anyone has one and how they like it.

Publisher Synopsis
" Building Successful Online Communities is the book we've all been waiting for. Students, faculty, and professional developers will learn how online communities function. There's something for everyone--empirical findings framed in theory, and gems of advice. The authors are remarkable researchers, teachers, and leaders in the field."--Jennifer J. Preece, Professor and Dean, College of Information Studies, University of Maryland's iSchool "While many books have described the patterns and building blocks of successful social spaces from an architectural perspective, Building Successful Online Communities moves beyond the tangible and derives critical features and design claims for thriving communities in the more malleable online world. The authors provide real world examples and observations to help practitioners design an online community. In the process, they create a vocabulary and environment that engages the reader to want to design an online social space."--Kyratso George Karahalios, Associate Professor, University of Illinois "This work provides the science behind the observations we made in Building Web Reputation Systems. Its format of design claims, thoroughly supported by research and examples, is a must-have resource for anyone thinking of deploying successful online communities."--F. Randall Farmer, online communities pioneer, and coauthor of Building Web Reputation Systems Read more...

In preparation for our 2012 Legislative Session, I have been looking at what other states consider to be their top issues. Here are a few that seem to emerge as most important: Energy, jobs, Medicaid, state budgets and college affordability.
Americans are spending more than ever to put gas in their cars, heat their homes and pay their utility bills. Rising energy costs have increased the costs for everyday goods. Energy costs trickle down into everything we buy and every service we use.

Nobody likes to hear bad news forecasts. That is why almost no one ever reads the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament.

A battery question for the $50 robot
August 11, 2011, 07:26:54 PM »
Hi, I previously posted this in another thread, but became skeptical when I saw that it was from 2009, and so I'm posting again, sorry for that.
I'm currently building the $50 robot and I have some questions regarding the battery.
I couldn't get hold of a battery pack, so would it be fine if I connected 5 AA batteries in series and pretended it was a battery pack? Also, could I treat it as a normal battery pack in terms of charging and following the rest of Admin's tutorial? And finally, how can I measure the amperage (mAh) after 'putting together' this battery pack? I have a multimeter but the max current is 200 mA..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vignesh R.

A battery pack is simply that, a bunch of batteries in series with a nice connector on the end.
So yes, you could connect 5 batteries in series to make a "battery pack".
Could you charge it? It depends, what type of batteries will you be using? If you use rechargeable ones, and they are all the same size and have the same mAh rating, then yes, you can charge them. If they are normal non-rechargeable batteries, no, you can't recharge them.
The mAh rating of batteries in series is simply the mAh rating of a single battery in that series. So if you have 5 2500mAh double A size batteries in series to make a battery pack that provides 6V, it will have a rating of 2500mAh. If you had two of those battery packs, and you connected them in parallel, it'd provide 6V with 5000mAh.
I'm pretty sure all batteries have their rating on the packaging SOMEWHERE, you just have to look for it.

Thank you, I really appreciate the quick reply.
I can buy either 5 1.2V NiCD batteries or NiMH batteries. Based on experience, which would you recommend for longer life (as in number of times they can be recharged)?

Oh, and one more question (sorry, but this is my first robot haha)
I have a standard power adapter black box thingy which outputs 6V at 300mA. I could use this to charge my makeshift "battery pack" yes? Or do I have to buy a real charger? Also how long would it take to charge assuming I buy 5 1.2V NiMH batteries of 2100 mAh each?
Thank you so much!

I've never used NiCd batteries, so I do not have any first hand experience however...
The differences between NiMH and NiCd are quite easy to find online.
NiCds are generally used in high drain applications where you need a lot of amperage out of your battery pack. I'm paraphrasing from a quick google search I just did now...
NiCds generally hold less power than a similarly sized NiMH. However, NiMHs self discharge quickly. They'll drain themselves if you don't use them. Generally you'd want to charge them right before you use them, or the night before. They DO have new NiMH batteries out that improve on this.
NiCds sometimes have a problem called the Memory Effect, which improper charging can cause. So, you have to be aware of that. Google it to find out more.
From what I'm reading online, NiCds can be charged and recharged more (but you have to worry about the memory affect). With that said, I bought NiMH batteries... probably close to 4 or 5 years ago and they're still going strong (although my charger doesn't seem to like to know when they are charged anymore, so I have to watch them closely).
In the end, I'd go with a NiMH unless you NEED a ton of current, which you probably don't unless you're planning on hooking up a ton of servos and they'll all be moving at the same time.
I can't help you with your battery charging black box power adapter. I'd suggest buying a real charger if you want the best life out of your batteries. Good chargers are relatively expensive though. Considering the voltage of a NiMH 6V battery pack would be closer to 7V when fully charged, I'm not sure how well that one you mentioned would work charging it. (Remember, a battery's voltage drops as it gets used. So it'll start out at 7V or so, then drop to... oh I dunno 4.5V or so when discharged. This is why we have voltage regulators). Then again, like I said before, I have no idea if it would work or not.

Is the Kiwi accent a blight on TV news broadcasts?
Related Links
Relevant offers
Stuff Nation
I wonder how many television viewers there are like me for whom watching the six o'clock news on TVNZ or TV3 was until recently a staple of their daily routine, but who now repair to online sources for their news because the network bulletins have become unwatchable - or more precisely, unlistenable?
An army of airheads has been let loose on the airwaves who have no business being anywhere near a microphone sounding the way they do. They don't speak, they quack.
Many newsreaders and most reporters on flagship news bulletins now sound like panicked ducks at the start of the shooting season.
Their employers, far from being alarmed by the situation and sending their uneducated charges off for remedial speech training, embrace the barbarian triumph as a victory for the authentic Kiwi accent. It is nothing of the sort.
The quacking epidemic spawned by TVNZ and TV3 is now a national plague and an international joke, an unseemly blight on a nation claiming to be civilised.
In recent times, high-profile commentators Karl du Fresne, Sir Robert Jones, Deborah Coddington and Janet Wilson (herself a former television reporter) have rung alarm bells about it.
The newsreaders' quacking, droning, grunting and mumbling are our worst form of noise pollution.
Their "yeah-no," "you-know," "like, like," "awesome," "cool," "wodevva," and so on are the bane of coherent conversation. Their mangled vowels and muddied consonants make swine sound educated.
They are clueless about the distinction between "children" and "choowdren," "Wellington" and "Wawwington," "vulnerable" and "vunrable," "the six o'clock news" and "the sucks o'clock news," "showers" and "showwwwwwaz," "known" and "knowen," "well" and "wow," "health" and "howth," "New Zealand" and "New Zilland".
The locus of their emissions is not the mouth, but the nose. Their assault on the English language is a [N]ational scandal. Theirs is not an accent; it is a disease.
In their childlike glottal stops ("thuh office"), their selective emphasis that is 100 per cent wrong (hitting conjunctions and prepositions —"Woow arroyv UN Wawwington ET sucks o'clock"), their spluttering nasality, their dim-witted droning and silly sing-song, their inability to scan ahead and phrase intelligently, our reporters are stuck at the level of an infant.
It may be that they are not truly "airheads", but they certainly seem like airheads with such retarded speech patterns.
No, one is not demanding they speak like the Queen, but is it too much to ask that they sound like educated adults?
All that attention to how they look, and none whatsoever to how they sound! (Except when articulating Maori words. If it's good enough for Maori, why not English?)
One of my pupils, a budding TV actor barely in his 20s, confessed that he was in deathly fear of being made to sound "posh."
Sounding "posh," he believed, would activate Tall Poppy Syndrome, be "uncool" and jeopardise his career.
By "posh" he evidently meant "plummy, like Sam Neill," whose career doesn't seem to have suffered for it.
I pointed to the impeccably Kiwi rugby commentary duo of Grant Nisbett and Tony Johnson both of whom speak clearly and well without sounding remotely "plummy."
And what about the beautifully-spoken Sir Paul Holmes? Or Eric Young and Alistair Wilkinson on Sky?
What does it matter, the barbarians' cheerleaders will ask, as long as we get the gist of what they're saying? Dominion Post columnist Karl du Fresne answered this as follows:
''I have heard it argued that none of this matters as long as we can understand what people are saying, to which my response is twofold. First, it's physically painful to listen to some of these awful voices torturing the language; and second, it's getting to the point where we can't understand them. It's only a matter of time before we'll need subtitles on the TV news bulletins to explain what some female journalists and newsreaders are saying.''
A New Zealand in which quacking is as universal as it's threatening to become will intellectually bankrupt us. Its democracy will be a travesty of freedom as vapid voters who routinely quack inanities such as "Yeah, no, I'm like, oh my god, that's so totally awesome" will thus mindlessly endorse the most unconscionable bribes offered by the most unscrupulous politicians.
Not only being able to watch the news again, but also freedom and civilisation themselves, are at stake.

I was in need of reading data from an .msi file and after reading a nice article in the form of a pdf file, I made a simple console application that takse 2 command line arguments (first is full path to .msi file second one is the table name). I prefered doing a console application because it will be useful to all even having MFC or windows knowledge.
Last week I installed InstallShield for Windows Installer 1.5 on my system and some how I learned how to create an .msi setup file. I was in need of it as we planned to port the tool on which I'm working to the newer version of InstallShield. I searched for help but finally helped myself to learn how to create msi files with InstallShield. I wouldn't say I mastered InstallShield but I can say I know little bit of InstallShield.
Actually the tool for which I have been working on needs the details of .msi files to create MOF files, so I was trying to read the .msi database (.msi is a setup file implemented as a database by Microsoft and it is run by Windows Installer, a service which runs in Windows 2000 and Windows XP).
First location I refered is MSDN. It says what are the functions we have to manipulate a .msi database. But as my attempt to work myself with the MSDN help to read .msi databse didn't work. So I searched on net. and I got nic pdf file regarding this pdf file http://www.wise.com/filelib/MSIwhitepaper.pdf. Please read the article for a full description on "how to". I used the code help from this article only. The flow goes like this. First we have to start with MsiOpenDatabase(..) which gives a MSIHANDLE after successful opening of the msi database. Then I called MsiDatabaseOpenView(hDatabase,szSelect,&hView) where hDatabase is the handle got from MsiOpenDatabase(). szSelect is a normal SQL query, then hView is the MSIHANDLE returned by this function on success. This function when called creates a view with the given query. To get the actual records we have to call MsiViewExecute(), which gives the perfectness to the view(means practically this function executes the query and stores the result in the view) Then remaining part of the code is parsing the data and printing on the screen. I once again repeat the pdf I read is the source for my application. I thank "Gary Chirhart" for writing such a nice article on Installer. my application takes 2 command line arguments( other than application name)
For better understanding of the database structure one can use "ORCA" tool.
The interesting thing I learned is actually we don't need any third party tools like Installshield or wise Installer to create .msi setup files. Everything can be done by us The only thing the third party vendors are doing is making things simple so that we can concentrate on development of our software so that we need not worry much about creating installers to our software.

MINI's Superleggera Concept Car to Make UK Debut at the Salon Privé
Salon Privé will mark the second appearance for the Superleggera Concept this year and signals that MINI is serious about the car. According to sources the concept previews a new interpretation of MINI's classic design language that will be a part of future products. Those same sources have indicated to us that MINI executives are keen on making sure a roadster (perhaps one with a folding hardtop) will be remain part of those plans.
Official Release: MINI and Touring Superleggera, the tradition-steeped design and coach building house based in Milan, have brought the MINI Superleggera™ Vision to the UK for the first time at the highly exclusive Salon Privé.
The MINI Superleggera Vision is on the one hand a classic roadster – a compact and agile two-seater – expressing the most minimalist and emotional style of motoring; and on the other hand its electric drivetrain gives the car distinctly modern driving dynamics.
In collaboration with MINI, Touring SuperleggeraTM has designed and built an elaborately crafted, unique model which blends the tradition of classic coachwork construction with the MINI's authentic British styling to create timeless aesthetic appeal.
British design with an Italian accent – the exterior design.
"The MINI Superleggera™ Vision elegantly perpetuates what the Classic Mini started 55 years ago: reduction to the essentials. Its energetic, minimalistic design embodies the dynamic essence of an automobile. At the same time it creates unique emotional beauty in combining the past and future of the automotive industry, i.e. traditional coachwork craftsmanship and modern design styling. It was a pleasure for me to design a concept like this," says Anders Warming, Head of MINI Design.
The perfectly balanced proportions indicate at first glance what the electrically powered MINI Superleggera™ Vision has to offer in terms of a driving experience: the stretched bonnet, long wheelbase and cool, short overhangs convey pure driving fun. As in every MINI, the wheels are set widely on the body, promising a high degree of agility. The passenger cell is slightly set back, further underscoring the car's dynamic impression.
The front of the MINI SuperleggeraTM Vision features the traditional MINI design icons: two circular headlights and a hexagonal grille define the unmistakable front section, providing a contemporary interpretation of features which have become firmly established over decades. There are also striking classic sports car elements such as a wide track and distinctively curved wheel arches that give the front a dynamic presence. The classic MINI bonnet stripes are three-dimensionally embossed and run on into high-quality polished aluminum accents.
Meanwhile the horizontal rib look of the radiator grille adds a classic sporty touch. The fact that it is closed is a discreet indication of the car's electric motor. The two fog lights echo the circular contours of the headlamps, providing a smaller interpretation of them in the radiator grille. The air inlets are also circular, giving the front section a distinctive touch. A flat front splitter made of carbon fibre closes off the front to the road, thereby underscoring the car's sporty statement down to the last detail.
Classic coachwork construction in a cutting-edge interpretation.
The striking element of the side view is the characteristic "Touring" line. It embodies both the high art of coachwork building and classic aesthetics. Surrounded by tight, seamless surfaces, it traces a precise, vibrant movement from the front wheels through to the rear. This reflects the great craftsmanship and longstanding experience of Touring Superleggera in area of body construction: ever since it was founded the company has stood for fine, light sports car bodies. To this day, Touring Superleggera™ shapes large aluminium sheets by hand using the most performing frame structures.
There are very few gaps in the body since it is constructed from large sheets of metal. The result is a closed look that conveys high-quality elegance. The specially developed exterior paint finish Como Blue, almost liquid in effect, stands for both classic and modern style. It particularly underlines the refined Italian touch of the MINI SuperleggeraTM Vision. The elaborate rims and the elegant exterior mirrors in long-hole look complete with a mirror base in polished aluminium add exclusive accentuations at the side.
Meanwhile the striking fin defines the look of the rear, adding a touch of extravagance. It gives the MINI SuperleggeraTM Vision a particular longitudinal dynamics while at the same time embodying the unconventional air of both MINI and Touring Superleggera. Like the "Touring" line at the side, it is modeled with enormous precision. The highlight of the flat, wide rear is the unusual lights: designed in the form of a Union Jack divided in two, they combine functionality and symbolism in a way never seen before.
Echoing the exterior – the interior design.
The exterior and interior design of the MINI Superleggera™ Vision merge seamlessly. Only a surrounding shoulder line in polished aluminium visually separates the exterior and interior from each other. The border creates an encircling, sporty gesture that consistently perpetuates the clear elegance and generous surfaces of the exterior.
In its styling and in the look and feel of its materials, the interior design celebrates the tradition and the essence of classic coachwork construction. It reflects how the automobile was created: the essential features are quoted – the untreated aluminium sheeting and the tube-shaped structural elements – and they are made visible in the interior by means of a high-quality interpretation. This is most striking in the dashboard. The latter is created from a single aluminium sheet and has been left in the state the automobile body would look like without a paint finish. The generously sized unpainted surfaces and the clearly visible hand craftsmanship of the dashboard go together to reflect the skilled artistry of the coachbuilders.
The Center Instrument in the middle of the instrument panel draws on MINI design styling and has been extended for the MINI SuperleggeraTM Vision to include a touch-sensitive control element and two circular instruments with metal surrounds on the right.

In the March 25 issue of Soap Opera Digest, the actress shared how good, on set galpals—and the CBS primetime soap The Good Wife—helped her get through Frisco and Felicia reconnecting in Port Charles. Said Wagner: "I don't think it would have happened had it not been for the love and support I've gotten from fellow castmates, especially women," she declares. "I have learned through this whole life here in Hollywood and on General Hospital, how to ask for help. If you need help, ask for it! And you gotta make sure you ask the right people. And in my case, on the set, just with regards to stuff at General Hospital, I ask the women who are my age. These women who have come back have been very loving and supportive and I think they mean the best. So I'm feeling grateful for all of these women who talk to me when I need to talk about it, Lynn [Herring, Lucy] and Finola [Hughes, Anna], all of them. Anybody who is my age [laughs]. Nothing against the younger generation; I love them dearly!"
