NEW YORK (AP) — Mike D'Antoni saw the way LeBron James tore apart the Cavaliers when faced with a hostile crowd in Cleveland and figures hate is wrong.
"I'm going to be nice, don't worry," the New York Knicks coach said Thursday.
The fans at Madison Square Garden probably won't let that stop them from telling James how they feel about the star bypassing the Knicks for the Miami Heat.
The Heat are coming to New York on Friday, another huge game for the Knicks and their chance to show they have recovered just fine from a painful free agency snub.
They wanted James and Dwyane Wade, who wanted to play together, but just not in New York. They talked to Chris Bosh, too, but are certain they emerged with the best power forward available when they landed Amare Stoudemire. He has a franchise-record streak of nine straight 30-point games entering the game against the Heat.
The Garden will be buzzing, just as it always is when James comes to town. Only this time, it's because the Knicks no longer have a team that will bow to the King.
"I figure as long we keep winning and keep having success, that's what the fans want to see. That's what is most important in New York," Stoudemire said. "So LeBron right now is in Miami and we're in New York. It's going to be a battle tomorrow night."
The Knicks' 118-116 loss to Boston on Wednesday was perhaps the game of the season in the NBA so far, and it's probably not even the most anticipated one of the week in New York.
The Heat and Knicks developed a bitter rivalry in the late 1990s. Miami scored perhaps the biggest victory when it signed the player New York spent two years positioning itself to sign.
A pair of trades early in the 2008-09 season cleared enough salary cap space to sign James when he became a free agent in July. The Cavaliers played in New York the following week after those trades and James was showered with huge ovations. He received them in every other Cleveland visit, along with some "MVP!" chants.
He won't hear anything so kind on Friday night. Not that he cares.
"No one's actually going to come up to me and try to hurt me," James said. "I mean, I've been in Cleveland after I signed. No one's actually come up to me and say anything to me. They may wait until I walk down the street and yell it after they've just walked past me. I'm not worried."
James has always loved playing at Madison Square Garden, where he is the only visiting player besides Michael Jordan with multiple 50-point games. And he'd love to disappoint a raucous crowd the way he did this month by scoring 38 points in a rout of the Cavaliers.
"One of the best players in the world and he always rises up to the occasion," D'Antoni said. "Whether we're nice to him or not, it's not going to matter. Playing in New York is special and he, Wade, Bosh, they'll all be ready and it's a big game again. We don't have our streak going, but they have theirs going."
Miami has won 10 in a row, just as Boston had going into Wednesday's matchup. The Knicks, who had an eight-game winning streak snapped, are the first NBA team to play consecutive games against teams with double-digit winning streaks since the Clippers had a home-and-home against the Lakers on Jan. 4-5, 2000, according to STATS, LLC.
James and Wade have been sensational during Miami's surge, and Bosh has been playing much better. He was widely considered No. 3 behind his new teammates on the list of available free agents, even though Stoudemire had better numbers playing for a Phoenix team that went to the Western Conference finals.
"I was a surprised by that. I've been in a winning situation my whole career and it's been somewhat the opposite for Chris," Stoudemire said. "So he's playing well this year. He's been playing well his whole career, we go back since high school and I don't really compare myself to Chris at all."
Few thought Wade would leave Miami for New York, but missing out on James seemed a huge blow for the Knicks. They weren't interested in talking about it after "The Decision" or on Thursday. Some critics thought not getting James made the whole free agency plan a two-year waste.
Instead, they are 16-10, just 2½ games behind the Heat for second place in the Eastern Conference. James said Stoudemire is probably the leading candidate to replace him as the league's MVP.
"It's always great to play in the Garden, especially with them being as good of a team as they are now," Wade said. "A lot of props go to Amare for leading that team the way that he has and to the rest of the players for coming in and proving everyone wrong."
Wade also has been a fan favorite at the Garden, but those days are gone. This won't be quite like James' return to Cleveland, but it's not like trips to New York used to be, either.
"Hopefully that's the way it's always going to be now," D'Antoni said. "Whoever comes in is going to be the guys that we hate and it doesn't matter who it is."
Notes: The Knicks said Wednesday's game earned a 3.6 rating on MSG Network, the network's highest since a 4.8 on Oct. 31, 2001, which was Michael Jordan's first game as a player with the Washington Wizards.

Over a year ago, I reviewed a little game called Korg DS-10 Synthesizer. I'd been on a streak of software toys posing as games and wondered how to rate them as games. Here we are again, and it's time to ask the same question, only with Korg DS-10 Synthesizer Plus. It's the same as the original but has improved in various small and large ways, the biggest of which is specific to the DSi. It's also one of the best uses of the biggest DSi feature that Nintendo hasn't advertised. Not to put too big of a point on it, but the results are pretty awesome for those who want the ability to synth things on the go, and it's a worthy enhancement for a specific portion of the interested audience.
The Korg DS-10 software is a fairly precise emulation of the Korg MS-10 Synthesizer, providing you two synths, four drum pads, and enough sliders and knobs to produce many different sound effects. Put together with recording, piano-roll editing, and a full patch-cable board, and you get all the synthesizing power you'd ever need out of the DS, given the limits of the speakers and headphones.
Developer AQ Interactive saw the DSi, with its shinier and less tinny speakers, and decided to redo the program to take advantage of the upgrade. With the software's existing power and potential, they would have a hard time topping the original ... until they noticed that the DSi has twice the processing power of the original DS. They threw in DSi-exclusive support for running two linked MS-10s, with a distinct and complete set of knobs, drums, patch boards, and editors. Additionally, a few editors are recoded to operate both at once, when it's convenient and doesn't get in the way. They also threw in some other feature upgrades that are really useful for working two synths at once, such as being able to edit things during playback in the song mode, per-track mute and solo functionality, and some expansion of the synthesizer's sequencer modes. Ultimately, these features are likely to be overlooked; it took me a fair bit of online searching to realize what was new, aside from the second-synth mode.
Just like before, Korg DS-10 Plus is summed up as "unbridled potential." There's so much to do and absolutely no game-like structures to get in the way. Unfortunately, this extends to the lack of an in-game tutorial, and the manual's pretty technical. It's an incredible 59 pages (longer and slightly denser than before). The tools for creating pretty thorough techno works are fully there, and one could easily see the game being used, as-is, as a real instrument — especially since its interface is a lot quicker to work with than PC simulations, taking fullest advantage of the DS' touch-screen. However, figuring out how to really make it sing remains an immense challenge that will be beyond most people. It's easy to use the default settings to create a few good sounds, but getting at the synth's power is a mess, especially with options that only significantly shift the sound when other effects are in place.
This time around, I managed to get a lot further than before and had some decent basic songs thrown together, entirely within the synthesizer, in a couple of hours. Once again, what startled me most about the software was its potential — and how easy it is to get lost within it. I found myself trying to figure out how I created a particular sound effect, and I'd often end up just going back to the KAOSS Pad and screwing around. It's safe to say that most users are likely to get lost, and the new features don't make the software much easier to use.
Just like before, the graphics are nothing special. Simple 2-D representations of the real synth boards form the exact same clean, dark-colored interface as before, free of visualizations of any sort. The only game-like mode is the ability to connect with other Korg DS-10 Plus users (sorry, no backward compatibility) to jam in a group. This seems like a game that could easily support single-card play, but sadly, no dice. It doesn't really matter much, though, as graphics and multiplayer aren't the point of the title.
Start with nothing, and make everything: You've been handed it again with Korg DS-10 Plus, with a slightly wider definition of "everything." The game could still use a decent tutorial, expansions to the link modes (an official computer-link mode would be especially nice), and some use of the microphone (sampling keyboard mode, anyone?). For those who are looking for something that isn't a game and either know how to work a synth or are willing to spend some serious time learning it, Korg DS-10 Synthesizer remains one of the most interesting programs on the DS system, and Plus is improved enough that first-time buyers should go directly for it. If you're already getting most of the power out of the original and own a DSi, then you should upgrade to Plus.
Score: 8.5/10

KLRU chooses three programs each month for your family to enjoy together. In January 2014, we will have incredible family viewing opportunities beginning with a special night on New Year's Eve with LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER "New York Philharmonic Gala with Yo-Yo Ma." Next up on our list is NOVA "Zeppelins" which is the untold story of the biggest flying machines ever made: Germany's war zeppelins and ends with the premiere of NATURE "Meet the Coywolf" about a beautiful mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf.
LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER "New York Philharmonic Gala with Yo-Yo Ma"
Tuesday, December 31st at 7 pm.
Special guest cello soloist Yo-Yo Ma joins maestro Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic for a festive celebration of dance-inspired orchestral music. Highlights include a performance of a work expressly written for Ma by Osvaldo Golijov, one of the world's most celebrated living composers, and a stunning interpretation of Ravel's beloved Bolero.
NOVA "Zeppelins"
Wednesday, January 15 at 8 pm.
This is the untold story of the biggest flying machines ever made: Germany's war zeppelins, which rained down death on British towns for two and a half terrifying years during World War I. In hands-on experiments, NOVA uncovers how the zeppelins were built and flown, and goes inside the desperate scramble to take down the zeppelins and make the streets of Britain safe again.
NATURE "Meet the Coywolf"
Wednesday, January 22 at 7 pm.
The coywolf, a mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf, is a hauntingly beautiful carnivore found increasingly on the streets of North American cities. Its appearance is very recent — within the last 90 years — in evolutionary terms, a blip in time. The story of how it came to be begins in Canada but by no means ends there. It is an extraordinary tale of how quickly adaptation and evolution can occur, especially when humans interfere. New York wildlife biologist Roland Kay is fascinated by this new hybrid, the product of a shifting gene pool that is now stabilizing. Kays tracks and photographs coywolves with remote motion sensor cameras, collects road kill and scat and obtains tissue and bone samples from fur trappers, hunters and others to unravel the mysteries that define this new species.

It's a week before election day and the proposed half-cent sales tax has opposition.
Business owner Charlie Hilton says he wants people to know where their money is going if they vote to reinstate the half-cent sales tax, and he's making a heard with several commercials opposing the tax that just began running this week.
"It's not going to help to give them this other tax money, they've already proven, the county government's proven that they won't spend sales tax money for what they say they will."
Bay County Commissioner John Newberry agrees with Hilton. This is the reason he suggested there be an oversight committee to effectively manage the tax dollars if indeed it does pass.
"The oversight committee is a safeguard to have and ensure that citizens input and oversight watches over the expenditure of the half-cent sales tax."
All of the mayors in Bay County, except for Mayor Lee Sullivan of Panama City Beach, expressed their support along with the Bay County Chamber of Commerce Monday afternoon in support of the tax.
Scott Clemons, the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, says the tax will help the entire community.
"We create economic opportunity, that's what we want to do. This sales tax does this by putting money into economic development activity. We really like that, that's part of our mission, but also by strengthening our infrastructure we do the same thing as well."
The last half-cent sales tax expired in Bay County in May 2003. County commissioners waited until this year to as voters to reinstate the tax.

ROME, Oct 4 (Reuters) - World food prices rose in September and are seen remaining close to levels reached during the 2008 food crisis, the United Nations' food agency said on Thursday, while cutting its forecast for global cereal output.
The worst drought in more than 50 years in the United States sent corn and soybean prices to record highs over the summer, and, coupled with drought in Russia and other Black Sea exporting countries, raised fears of a renewed crisis.
Grains prices have retreated in recent weeks due to rapid harvest progress and concerns about weak demand in a slowing global economy.
But the FAO Food Price Index, which measures monthly price changes for a food basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy, meat and sugar, rose to an average of 216 points in September after remaining stable at 213 points in August, the FAO said in its monthly update.

I have a fireplace I am not using, the damper is closed unless I'm letting out a bird. In 35 years I have never had a fire in it.
Birds yes, fire no. Bird fit thru the top--so much for a spark arrester.
I ran the HVAC-calc program and 20% of my heating bill is used to send hot air up the flue.
Is there an easy way to seal this off so that it can easily be unsealed later, like when I hear a bird in it? It is wood and stucco with a tin can inside. I have thought of putting a balloon up there.

PALM HARBOR — Steve Fiske asked a question about Florida's education system and how to improve it. Marg Baker, one of four candidates challenging state Rep. Peter Nehr, answered. The federal government is the problem, she said.
"Wake up people!" the 71-year-old retiree shouted during Monday night's candidate forum at the Palm Harbor Library. "That's why old people know how to do math on their feet, and people who have just graduated can't add one and one or give you a dollar's change."
The federal government needs to get out of Florida education, Baker said, without explaining specifics.
"Except the Legislature is so d--- weak they won't do anything about it!" Baker said, and then turned and glared at Nehr. He looked back at Baker, who also ran against him in 2010.
Fiske, the moderator, took the microphone from Baker and politely asked her not to curse anymore.
Nehr, 60, is seeking a fourth and final term representing District 65 (formerly District 48), which covers much of northern Pinellas County, including Tarpon Springs, Dunedin and Palm Harbor. He lobbied the audience of about 40 people Monday for votes, while taking attacks from his three challengers in the Aug. 14 Republican primary and from Carl Zimmermann, the Democrat who will face the primary winner in the Nov. 6 general election.
The forum was sponsored by Tampa Bay Woman Newspaper. Fiske, the paper's publisher and a Palm Harbor resident, had his work cut out for him keeping candidates, particularly Baker, on topic and under time limits
Nehr touted his experience as a Tarpon Springs city commissioner and in the state House. He said he would sponsor a bill barring schools from selling anything with high fructose corn syrup. "They're selling foods through our schools that are literally destroying our children," he said.
Candidate Philip Tropea, 74, a Palm Harbor retiree, touted his work as a conservative activist in New York in the 1960s. He said he would speak up against lobbyists, particularly those for Florida-only homeowner's insurance companies. "We need representatives who are going to stand by the people and not work for the lobbyists," said Tropea, who has never previously run for elected office.
Another first-time candidate, Oldsmar's Tory Perfetti, said he'd focus on getting rid of illegal immigrants and building Florida's manufacturing base through tax breaks. Perfetti, 30, a second lieutenant in the Army National Guard, wants to require businesses to use the federal E-Verify system to check the immigration status of their workers. "All you have to do is cut off the jobs magnet," Perfetti said, and illegal immigrants would leave.
Zimmermann, 61, a journalism teacher at Countryside High School, is running again after losing to Nehr in 2006 and 2008. The Democrat said he has several ideas that would draw bipartisan support, like an unemployment program that would provide internships for the jobless.
"In the six years since Mr. Nehr's been elected, there haven't been many problems solved," Zimmermann said. "It's not Mr. Nehr's fault, he's just part of the system. … I come up with solutions."
None of the candidates generated as much reaction from the crowd as Baker, though, who won 20 percent of the primary vote in 2010.
Baker criticized Nehr for his two previous bankruptcies. She also berated the audience for laughing when she talked about Agenda 21, which she said is a United Nations-led conspiracy that leads doctors to overprescribe medication to senior citizens, and when she questioned President Barack Obama's citizenship.
Baker is running as a Republican, but said the party is not conservative enough for her. She told the crowd she nearly switched to no party affiliation this week. She decided not to, though.
"It would have completely upset my electability," she said.

While the nostalgia drag racers of the southwest enjoy a several week break in their schedules to avoid the most intense heat of the summer, the points battles developing on paper are anything but chilled. After a busy spring and early summer run, the respective points leaders in the Painless Performance Outlaw Fuel Altered Series, MalloryPrint.com Southwest Heritage Racing Association and Smiley's Racing Products Southwest Junior Fuel Association will have their work cut out to keep their names atop the charts as we enter the second half of the season.
With four events remaining, Jimmy Jones will have to keep doing what he does best, qualifying well and winning rounds, if he hopes to hold off the hard charging Kinsley. Mary Reep is currently third in points after notching her first OFAA series win earlier this season and with a strong fall effort, she could give the boys plenty of grief in the mix for the Championship battle. Terry Brian and Bobby Marriott round out the top five as the next stop for the OFAA tour will be on August 31st & September 1st at Mo-Kan Dragway in Asbury, Missouri. The OFAA series would like to recognize title sponsor Painless Performance Products, as well as Good Vibrations, Wizard's Warehouse, North Texas Diesel, Competition Sales of Dallas and 3rd Coast Commissioning Services for their support of the 2013 bonus programs. Find out more at www.ofaa.net.
The SHRA series also hosts two bracket classes for 79 and earlier bodied machines. Sharon Godwin in her 1958 Corvette and James Armstrong, wheeling an injected 1923 T altered, find themselves tied for the lead in the "Nostalgia Bracket" electronics class, a Championship that will be decided at North Star Dragway on October 5th. Bill Cogswell, currently undefeated in competition, has a strong grasp on the points lead in the no electronics "Hot Rod" class in his 1971 Ford Pinto and will likely find himself wearing the Championship jacket at the conclusion of the season October 5th. The SHRA series would like to recognize sponsors Mallory Screenprint & Embroidery, Robinson Restoration & Service and Meyer Enterprises as well as bonus supporters Good Vibrations, Harry's Hot Rod & Truck Accessories, Triple C Agency, North Texas Diesel, Competition Sales of Dallas and AlkyDiggers.com for their support this season.

A dominant idea in gender-based discussion is that there are masculine and feminine corporate cultures....All this stereotyping rubs me the wrong way. Much as I want women to advance, I hate to think this kind of talk about human beings is the key. Researchers seem to believe it's just fine to stereotype as long as they put negative spin on everything associated with men -- "[h]ierarchies, orders, supplication, obedience, puppy dogs tails" -- and sugar-coat the presentation of the supposedly feminine characteristics -- "communication and collaboration" -- which are perfectly susceptible to restatement as negatives and which have traditionally been used to obstruct the advancement of women.
Two women from the University of East London asserted last summer in a paper, Implementation of Large Scale Software Applications, that a blinkered, hierarchical approach to the implementation of IT systems has also been linked to the failure of IT projects. Hierarchies, orders, supplication, obedience, puppy dogs tails - these are the things little boys are made of, as the authors pointed out.
A good way to sum up IT failures would be a lack of communication and collaboration, and that, if you have any truck with stereotypes, is what little girls are supposed to be made of.
Janice Kinory, who ushers women into SET ... industries, spent 25 years working in the automotive industry and lived through its transition from Fordism to the Kaizen system of manufacturing.
It changed, she says, from a culture in which decisions were determined by "will of the loudest, most macho male in the room" and "overlooked better ideas put forward by less forceful individuals", to a culture in which the careers of women like Ms Kinory improved along with the fortunes of the manufacturers who embraced more collaborative working practices.
A study of organisational politics published last year by Linda Holbeche, a consultant with Roffey Park, found that men were more likely to engage in divisive politics, while women were more constructive.
Yet, Holbeche says men are more able to use politics to their own advantage because they can be more goal driven and competitive - they have no glass ceilings, social stereotyping and fewer difficulties in hierarchical work environments to hamper their ambition....
Improving your bottom line is clearly not as simple as employing more women. Bismuth says he's still trying to remove glass ceilings, but there's a masculine, corporate establishment that is "resistant" to having its workplaces feminised.
ADDED: And just look at the headline:
If you become like them
Notice anything? Oh really? Women improve my performance? If I become like them?
IN THE COMMENTS: An IT guy strikes back:
I've been in IT for a bit over 20 years and I'm scratching my head over this one. Hierarchies and orders are unfortunately common in IT, but supplication and obedience? From what alternate universe IT department did they drag those? Anyone marginally worth their salt in an IT department has more than a bit of a primadonna complex. We don't supplicate to or obey because we don't have to.

The A's top pick in last year's draft finally is on the stat sheet at Single-A Stockton. Jemile Weeks made his debut for the Ports in Stockton's 10-5 over Bakersfield. It wasn't a great night for the second baseman, as he collected just one hit in six at-bats. But his lone hit did drive in two runs to give the Ports a nice start to a seven-game road trip, their longest of the season.
More encouraging news out of Stockton. Tyson Ross, the Cal product who followed Weeks on the A's draft list last season, retired the final 11 of the final 12 he faced. His overall line needs to be better, but he continues to work on being more effecient and getting his pitch-count up. The A's are being careful with him.
Last for Stockton: A very good night for Frank Martinez. The shortstop doubled twice and had three RBI.
— "Vin Mazzaro, white courtesy telephone. Vin Mazzaro, white courtesy telephone." You half expect a public address announcement to go out, given how this kid is pitching lately. Mazzaro lowered his ERA to 2.38 in his third straight outstanding outing. By the way, talked with A's assistant general manager Davd Forst this week, and Mazzaro would have to be called up right around the June 15-20 period to avoid becoming a Super2 guy and becoming eligible for arbitration an extra year earlier.
— Another promising pitching prospect did his thing in the second game of a doubleheader. Nice to see that James Simmons is gaining some consistency.
— Highlight of the night was Graham Godfrey. Dynamite stuff while fanning 11 in a 9-4 win over Northwest Arkansas. Godfrey has 28 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings during May.
— Adrian Cardenas, who recently was sent back to down from Triple-A Sacramento, continues to smoke Double-A pitching. He'll get another opportunity in Triple-A at some point.

No. 2: Every team reports to training camp with no less than clinching a postseason berth as goal No. 1. But in the case of the 2007-08 Boston Bruins, the situation might've been more dire than for most teams.
Out of the lockout, the club has missed the playoffs two straight years. With Claude Julien taking the reins, the Bruins were onto their third coach since the labor stoppage. And in a city used to championship bubbly from two of its major sports teams (and anticipating it from a third), another postseason no-go would've been a disaster.
Behind goals from Zdeno Chara and Phil Kessel, the Bruins pulled off a 2-1 win over Ottawa April 4 to secure their first trip to the Stanley Cup playoffs since 2004. For an encore they pushed the top-seeded Montreal Canadiens to seven games in the first round of the playoffs. Both achievements are most worthy of the Top 10 Bruins Stories of the calendar year '08.
There were times during the roller-coaster season that it seemed there would be no chance for the Bruins to keep skating into mid-April. The Bruins suffered through a six-game winless stretch (0-5-1) near the end of '07 before bouncing back with a three-game winning streak. Then they made believers of many with a six-game winning streak in Februray.
Entering their next-to-last regular season game at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, the Bruins needed a win over the Senators and a Carolina loss to Florida to secure the postseason berth with one game left. With two goals in support of him, Tim Thomas made 17 saves so the Bruins could hold up their end of the bargain. Then Florida helped out with a 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.
"There was no party at all. I'm a firm believer that there's more to come. I don't want to get satisfied too easily here," Julien said the next morning as his team prepared to face Buffalo in the regular season finale.
A lackluster performance that night at TD Banknorth Garden resulted in a loss to the Sabres, and when the regular season ended the next day the Bruins were relegated to the eighth seed in the East — meaning a first-round dance with their hated rivals from Montreal. Few gave the Bruins a chance to win the series, and after four games those experts looked dead-on. But then with the series shifted to Montreal for Game 5 and the Bruins facing elimination, Boston — sparked by the return of Kessel to lift the offense — sent the series back to the Hub for Game 6.
In a game that became an instant classic, the Bruins somehow managed to stave off elimination one more time. The Bruins trailed by one goal three times before goals by Milan Lucic and Kessel put them ahead for the first time on the night. Then Chris Higgins evened the score 4:04 before the final horn.
Overtime seemed inevitable — that is until Marco Sturm scored the biggest goal of his NHL career with 2:37 to go.
The Bruins hung on and hit the road for Quebec.
Although the Canadiens dominated Game 7, the Bruins had achieved their preseason goal and then some. Just making the playoffs would've been enough. But to come one game from advancing beyond the first round the Bruins proved that they'd made enormous strides as an organization and really set the tone for their fast start to the 2008-09 season.
"For sure it's something we need to build on," Chara said on the club's break-up day. "We made some positive first steps in the right direction and we just need to make sure we have an even better season next year."

Bisi Leyton was born in East London in 1978. She grew up in London, Nigeria and the States, listening to the stories life and love from aunts, cousins and big sisters.She lives in London, but has worked around Europe including France, Germany, Ireland, Belgium and the Czech Republic. She has a fondness for reading graphic novels. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Wisteriabooks Current Blog; Old Blog; Twitter; Goodreads
Eighteen year old Bach, from a race known as The Family, has no interest in human affairs. He was sent here to complete his Great Walk and return home as a man—as a Sen Son. The Family regard humans as Dirt People, but Bach is drawn to this Terran girl, whom he has never seen before, but somehow knows.
Hunted by flesh eaters, cannibals, and the mysterious blood thirsty group called Red Phoenix, Wisteria and Bach make their way back to the Isle of Smythe, a community built on secrets and lies.
I can go either way with a YA book. Some are fantastic and I devour the entire series in a week. Some have the stereotypical teenager I hated in myself and despise in books I wish to read for pleasure. Wisteria fell into the former category. She didn't make me want to scream and beg for it to end, she was a very well-visualized teen. I liked her a lot and felt really awful for her over the abuse and treatment she endured from everyone throughout.
Seriously, I'm amazed she didn't go zombie-psycho on the town. Maybe in book 2...
The zombies were simply the world, the Nero virus how it all started. The story really centered on the characters, however, not the zombies so much.
The rest of the book, however, I had some difficulty with. For instance Bach. As in most all of Bach--his back story, his Family, his speech. Didn't like him at all. Nope. I could have done without his storyline and equally bad treatment of Wisteria. In fact, he's not worthy of being her love interest OR of having a distinct storyline.
Other little things that bothered me were the slang and the lack of description for the Isle of Symthe (Is this a real island? Or one of those places where it's made up like in Hunger Games and Panem?) I had no real physical layout of the place and found myself confused over distances and locations. As for the slang, I'm all for that, don't get me wrong but a little description on what it means would probably have helped. Are these English words? Or the post-apocalyptic world's words?
I'm all for Indie writing, definitely, but I'm also all for editing. I think Ms. Layton needed another pass with a really great editor. There were continuity errors, weird sentence structuring, repetitiveness, and lack of character development until the very very end. Hey, don't get me wrong, there's that in a 'publisher' published book, but again I recommend a great editor to weed some of that out.
Overall I'd give this book 3 stars for the interesting plot, the execution of said plot, and Wisteria. Give it a chance and see for yourself.
Thirteen months after the first official case of Nero Disease
"Wisteria, run!" Rebecca O'Leary screamed over the radio.
Wisteria Kuti whipped around and came face-to-face with the blood-red eyes of a hungry flesh-eating biter. The biter was a man, infected by Nero Disease, who had long lost his mind. He looked more animal than human and he wanted one thing—to feed on the flesh of uninfected people. The biter growled and staggered toward Wisteria.
She fled down the deserted road to the nearest house. The front door was locked. She kicked at the door, but it didn't open. Taking out her handgun, she smashed through the window of the door.
She spun around, fired once, and hit one in the head. She unlocked the door by reaching in and turning the lock. Once inside, she chained and bolted the door.
Crash—a biter smashed through another window into the house.
"Get out of the house, Wisteria!" Rebecca radioed.
Three more biters appeared below and started coming up the stairs. Leaping up, she sprinted to the top floor and dashed into the first open doorway that led to the master bedroom. Locking the door, she headed straight for the window.
The infected clawed at the door, tearing it apart and snarling as they entered.

Hi Lance
I've just clicked on the link and looked at York Jazz Scene. An excellent publication! A few copies for distribution on Tyneside wouldn't go amiss - after all York is but an hour away by (the jazz)train.

The Jazz Train? Could this be a new Brian Bennett venture for the Vieux Carré Jazzmen?
I have passed on your suggestion re magazine to the York Jazz Scene Editor.

About this blog - contact details.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: How can I explain to a coworker that he writes bad code? (google.com)
An anonymous reader writes: I have a coworker who, despite being very smart, and even very knowledgeable about software, writes the most horrible code imaginable. Entire programs are stuffed into single functions, artificially stretched thanks to relentless repetition; variable and class names so uninformative as to make grown men weep; basic language features ignored, when they could make everything shorter and more readable; and OOP abuse so sick and twisted that it may be considered a war crime. Of course, being a very smart person who has been programming since before I was born makes him fairly impervious to criticism, so even a simple "Do you see how much better this function is when written this way?" is hopeless. How can I make him see the light, realize the truth, and be able to tell good code from bad?

However, we were talking about setting up an endure session for sometime this weekend. Either Friday night or sometime Saturday. Get back to me with a good time to do this, especially since this achievement can take a few hours to do.

Andre Villas-Boas delighted to see Tottenham climb back into the top four
Andre Villas-Boas is looking for Tottenham to build on a productive week which has taken them back into the top four.
Last Updated: 02/12/12 9:40am
Spurs have taken maximum points from three fixtures in the space of seven days, with a 3-0 derby victory over Fulham on Saturday coming on the back of home successes against West Ham United and Liverpool.
Villas-Boas, who has had his critics since returning to Premier League football at White Hart Lane, is delighted to see his side generating the results their performances have deserved.
He told Sky Sports: "We have had quite a jump. It was an important run of results, particularly in a week where there is a fixture in the middle.
"We have played well against the top teams and not got the results we have wanted, but now this run puts us back on track with where we want to be.
"Next week we have Everton away, one of the most difficult trips in the Premier League, and they have just come off the back of another great result against Manchester City. We know we have to continue with this form, but it's pleasant to see the boys at this level and having such a good week."
On a weekend victory over Fulham, which saw Sandro break the deadlock and the in-form Jermain Defoe net twice in the space of five second-half minutes, Villas-Boas added: "The first half of the game was a little bit tied up tactically, I think. There were a couple of chances at both ends but the game wasn't really opening a lot and I think both sides felt tired.
"Second half, I thought a goal would unlock a bit more space and it happened. We managed to score quickly two and three, which put us in a very comfortable position.
"It's good to have kept a clean sheet and good to see Aaron Lennon putting in a level of display which was amazing too."

I'm thinking about trying it for 12 weeks at 1 gram a week with 500 mg test e
Hey guys. I have the opportunity to pick up some injectable promo at half price for a limited time. I am super tempted to pick some up and throw it into a cut cycle.
Does anybody think it would be worth picking some up? I hear results are similar to mast and a lot of guys just prefer mast mainly because of the longer cycle and higher side to get all the benefits. On the other hand I hear some guys swear by it and love it. I even heard it's like eq/mast promoting endurance and physique without a large about of mass (would be perfect to me)
Would it be a good addition to a test p, tren a or even test tren mast cycle? I am going for a bit more of a lean athletic look then with a few veins than a massive guy with 4% body fat and it sounds like primo could help with proper diet. Any input on experiences, dose, thoughts, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.
I'm thinking about trying it for 12 weeks at 1 gram a week with 500 mg test e
I don't always punch babies, but when I do they had it coming
I've always wanted to run a primo cycle but the price is what is always holds me back. That and Primo is one of those that you need to run for a long cycle like 20 weeks. Its slow quality gains. Like a stronger anavar. A lot of poeple have said they have tried it and were not happy with the gains vs the price ratio. Many say that most of the reason they saw little gains was due to them not running a high enough dosage again due to the price. But if you can get 1/2 price and you trust the source I would buy as much as you can. You might not want to use it because based on what you said your goals are it would not really be good for that. You can always sell it. Hell I'd buy it from you.
If I had similar goals as you I would add winstrol to your current cycle. That will cut you up like nothing else. The downside to winny is it really dries you out which is why you look so cut but for an older guy like me I can't take it even at low doses I get to creaky and sore in the joints. But if I could tolerate it I would run it the last 5 weeks of my cut cycles.
As far as stacking the primo with tren I don't think you would see much improvement Tren is a beast and a receptor hog not much else gets in while on tren. Which is why mast is a good choice because mast can unbind the floating test and tren in your blood and make it more available to more receptors kind of like an amplifier. When I run the combination I feel the tren while on mast with tren at 500 feels like tren alone at 700.
I got some winny for my next cut. I wonder how well I can keep the gains (or losses really) from it compared to anavar. The toxicity and effect on cholesterol turned me off from it initially. I'm not competing so I am okay with slow quality gains that are very maintainable even if they are expensive. $$$ is not a huge issue for me currently.
Primo is for refining. It does not have that bang that other aas does. If you got some beef already and are fairly lean you'll love it
I am pretty much as big as I want to get. I'm 5'9" and about 215 at 10% I too like to skate on the edge of extremely athletic/almost freaky size. Just enough to get peoples attention but not immediately get them pointing at me screaming roids. Leo hit me up. Lets discuss. If I find the source to be reputable I'll go in with you on a bulk order.
This ^^^^
Pick it up, you could always use to later. but then again im a hoarder.
Well the forum you moderate for is sponsored by this company so id hope it's not too good to be true lol

Britain may have to call up yet more soldiers to police the Olympic Games, the government said on Wednesday, after a failed private sector recruitment drive left an embarrassing hole in security and dashed London's dreams of a spotless showcase.
The security fiasco and doubts over the ability of London's strained transport system to handle a swarm of visitors have overshadowed an event which the government still hopes will give recession-hit Britain something to celebrate.
The omens did not look good as athletes from across the world poured into London this week, some tweeting frustration with transport delays amidst a media storm over security fears.
And, after months of rain and flood, the Games have already earned the nickname of the Soggy Olympics in the British press.
"There are challenges and the military have stepped up to the plate and I salute them for it," Prime Minister David Cameron told reporters during a visit to Afghanistan. "Let's not call it a soggy Olympics, let's call it a great Olympics."
The glitch came after security firm G4S said it could not deliver a promised 10,400 security guards to watch over the venues, exposing the government to accusations of poor planning.
To fill the gap, the defence ministry called up an extra 3,500 troops - many just back from serving in Afghanistan where Cameron was on a visit on Wednesday - to take the armed forces contribution to 17,000 personnel.
"Let's be clear, if G4S don't fulfil their contract we will go after them for the money to make sure that they help pay for the military personnel that have been brought in," Cameron said.
The latest victim of London's roads and rail network was the Olympic opening ceremony, which has been trimmed to avoid a possible late-night stampede for trains and buses home, officials and media reports said.
A daredevil stunt bike performance was cancelled following rehearsals, with some reports suggesting the event was removed over fears that security checkpoints would be unable to cope with a rush of more than 60,000 spectators.
Due to be watched by a global television audience of a billion people, the July 27 extravaganza will attempt to recreate scenes from Britain's idyllic countryside and includes a cast of 10,000 performers, 12 horses, three cows, two goats and 10 chickens.
"We need to make sure the show comes in on time, to make sure spectators can get home on public transport," a spokesman for London 2012 said.
But officials at the stadium itself denied any link to security and transport fears.
"This is like any other piece of film that you would make," said Jackie Brock-Doyle, director of communications for Games organisers LOCOG.
"Things end up on the cutting room floor. Also, a huge amount of the rehearsals have been done in the pouring rain so it is a matter of tightening. It's not cutting big chunks.
Britain is keen to soothe security fears in a city where suicide bombers killed 52 people in bombings on the public transport system the day after London was awarded the Games, in July 2005.
More troops could be deployed to control crowds at the Games if G4S struggles to find a minimum requirement of 7,000 staff. An extra 2,000 troops may be needed.
On Tuesday, G4S Chief Executive Nick Buckles suffered an excruciating grilling by irate lawmakers, agreeing with one during a parliamentary hearing that the failure to recruit enough guards had left the firm's reputation "in tatters".
Hugh Robertson, the minister responsible for the Olympics, said contingency plans were being drawn up for the extra troops, saying the government would "not spend a penny more" for the extra security to make up for G4S's failings.
London's network of underground routes and narrow, cluttered roads is under strain from commuters, tourists and shoppers at the best of times, but now it must cope with an unprecedented burden in the coming weeks.
In a piece of positive news for organisers, Britain's official statisticians said on Wednesday the Olympics had given a much-needed jobs boost to the economy. They did not specify if that increase came from the security sector.
However, the Olympics feel-good factor has yet to be felt by many in Britain, according to an Adecco poll which showed excitement had fallen one point to three out of 10 this week.
Some events have failed to attract expected interest. Half a million tickets for Olympic soccer matches were withdrawn and stadium capacities reduced this week due to a lack of demand.
The transport teething problems have also contributed to a difficult last week before the Games.
Taxi drivers, renowned for their territorial attitude towards the streets of London, brought traffic outside parliament to a standstill on Tuesday in protest at their exclusion from the Olympic traffic lanes.
Some relief for the organisers came after London bus workers accepted an offer of an Olympic bonus, ending the threat of a strike that could have paralysed London next week.

As the A's and Tigers prepare for a climactic Game 5 at the Oakland Coliseum on Thursday night, it's worth watching what the team and Major League Baseball apparently didn't want you to see.
That would be: magical Oakland A's moments in Oakland. (See video)
Legendary PA announcer Roy Steele, better known as "The Voice of God" for how he brought thunder with his vocal chords, was apparently enlisted to stroll down memory lane to get fans pumped for the team's second straight trip to the playoffs. It appeared on the web briefly last week, but then disappeared.
It reappeared this week on YouTube with the poster claiming it was intended to be shown in-stadium at A's playoff games, but was yanked by Commissioner Bud Selig.

Johnson, Bumgarner play in 49ers first Spring game
It had been a long time since Matt Johnson and Zach Bumgarner had touched a football field for live game competition — that was until Saturday.
Both former Catawba County prep football standouts made their much-awaited college football debuts during the Charlotte 49ers first-ever spring football game this past weekend.
Johnson, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound quarterback, completed 13-of-14 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown, leading the 49ers Green team to a 26-3 victory against the White team in the intrasquad scrimmage.
A total of 13,950 people attending the highly anticipated first action in the spring for the new UNCC football program.
Johnson, a former Maiden signal-caller said the environment at McColl-Richardson Stadium on Saturday was overwhelming, but he was focused on the task at hand.
"Normally, I'd be thinking about coming out and seeing all those people, but I was more worried about completing that first pass than anything," Johnson said. "I wasn't nervous. I didn't notice the people in the stands or anything. I just kept thinking I needed to hit him right between the eyes with this ball because if not, it's going to look bad. That's pretty much all I was thinking about until the second half, and I saw the people in the stands. That's when it hit me that we were playing a game."
Proving he was a man on a mission, Johnson connected on a 47-yard strike to H-back C.J. Crawford on the Green team's first play from scrimmage.
"The nerves turned down after that first completion," Johnson said. "I normally do good after getting hit one time. That's how it was in high school for me, but this is a lot different from high school. Like I said, I didn't really notice the crowd until we came out for the second half when it hit me we were doing this. 'It was just a regular practice' is what I tried to keep telling myself and that we needed to come out here and execute like we do every day."
Two plays later, Johnson completed an 11-yard pass to slot receiver Austin Duke for the program's first-ever Spring game touchdown.
49ers head coach Brad Lambert was extremely pleased with Johnson's precision passing.
"Matt did a nice job throwing the ball, and we moved the ball early, which is what we wanted," Lambert said. "... I think Matt was 13-of-14. That's really good execution."
Johnson's touchdown, as well as a three-yard scamper by Alan Barnwell, were part of 13 points by the Green team in the first quarter.
Those two touchdowns were only points scored in the first half of Saturday's game.
Bumgarner, a former tight end and defensive end for St. Stephens High School, played in all, but two offensive series for the White squad.
He also handled all of the long-snapping duties.
"It was a unbelievable experience," Bumgarner said. "Being out there today was a huge dream come true for me. I've been blessed to be in this situation, and it was awesome to see the hard work pay off."
The Green team extended its lead in the second half with a four-yard touchdown run by halfback Damarrell Alexander and a pair of 27-yard field goals by kickers Stephen Muscarello and Hayden Pezzoni.
Muscarello tallied the only points for the White squad on a 32-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
The 49ers now look to toward this summer and their next major milestone on Aug. 31.
That's when UNC-Charlotte kicks off its inaugural football season at home against Campbell starting at noon.
"We get 29 practices before the first game," Lambert said. "These guys will finish up their academics, get through finals and then come back July 1 to start summer school and conditioning. I've said it several times, but since the calendar turned to 2013, it's been a regular schedule for us just like everybody else. That's the way we'll go through August."

So just finished the Mastebolin. Absolutely loved the Mast. So now I am on to running the Winstrol EOD.
Along with the Rexogin I dosing 35 mcg T3 morning then 35 mcg around 3pm.
Stomach is finally starting to flatten out and firm up. Diet is on point. I actually feel hungry as opposed to just eating to eat. Typically I eat every 3 hours.
As of yesterday I am down 3 pounds.
If I can drop 3 pounds a week for the next 6 weeks I should be as lean as I was when I was 22!
I may need more Rexogin amps not sure yet. I might try the orals and throw some Pharma Mix into my cycle after the Rexogin. I really would like to try this stuff it has Tren, mast and prop. Only issue is that prop usually flares up existing gyno. I am currently taking Letro EOD but I am at the point where I don't think it is shrinking the tissue any more just keeping it from getting worse.

Land Protection Policy for the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
acquires lands and waters consistent
with legislation, other Congressional
guidelines, and Executive Orders for
the conservation, management, and
where appropriate, restoration of
ecosystems, fish, wildlife, plants, and
related habitat, and to provide for
compatible, wildlife oriented public
use for educational and recreational
These lands include national wildlife
refuges, national fish hatcheries,
waterfowl production areas, and other
We acquire lands and waters when
other means (such as zoning or
regulation) are not appropriate,
available, or effective. When lands are
to be acquired, the minimum interest
necessary to reach management
objectives is to be acquired or
If fee title is required, full
consideration is given to extended use
reservations, exchanges, or other
alternatives that will lessen impact on
the owner or the community. We
encourage donations of desired lands
or interests.
Funding for acquisitions comes from
receipts, such as Federal Duck Stamp
sales, entrance fees to certain
National Wildlife Refuges, import
taxes on arms and ammunition, and
appropriations under the Land and
Water Conservation Fund Act.
Togiak NWR, AK
Eminent Domain Policy
The Service, like all Federal agencies,
has the authority to use Eminent
Domain to acquire lands and interest
in lands for the public good through
litigation. The Service, however,
seldom uses this authority. It is our
practice to acquire lands from willing
Service policy is to acquire land
through Eminent Domain as a last
recourse and only to:
n determine the legal owner (clear
n settle a difference of opinion of
value (when the owner is agreeable
to court action), or
n prevent uses which would cause
irreparable damage to the resources
that the unit was established to
In all cases, whether or not Eminent
Domain is necessary, the Service
offers not less than market value as
determined by an approved appraisal,
using professional standards and
Federal requirements, i.e., Uniform

Frequency of U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service Eminent Domain Actions
The Service has used Eminent
Domain sparingly throughout its land
acquisition history. The Service
recognizes the possible social and
economic impacts of acquiring private
property by exercising the right of
Eminent Domain and does its utmost
to avoid using this approach.
In recent years this has become
increasingly true as greater emphasis
is placed on acquisition from willing
sellers. Over the past ten years (1995-
2004) the Service has not acquired any
acres through court action (except,
with the concurrence of the seller,
actions used merely to clear title or
settle values).

Lands Under Control of the Service as
of September 30, 2004
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
acquired fee title or other interests in
97,168 acres (net total) in Fiscal Year
2004, for a total of over 96,034,663
acres under our control. Over
82,036,551 of those acres are reserved
from the Public Domain (Public
Domain lands are those lands that
have never left Federal ownership);
4,879,032 acres were purchased in fee
title; 737,321 acres represent
donations or gifts; 3,779,619 acres are
protected through agreements,
easements or leases; and 4,602,140
acres were acquired by other Federal
agencies. Primary authority can be
transferred to the Service or we can
manage the lands pursuant to an
agreement as an overlay refuge.
The number of National Wildlife
Refuges increased from 542 in
FY 2003 to 544 in FY 2004. The

I know there are Hobbits among us right now and I don't want to be insensitive, but is there a link between the launch of Peter Jackson's world-dominating Hobbit movie and TV One's launch of Seven Dwarves, an entertainment similarly based around little people?
There was a time when the likes of a documentary reality TV series called Seven Dwarves would have been well out of bounds. There was a period when we weren't supposed to use the "D" word at all.
But we now live in slippery times when being politically incorrect is increasingly the thing to be and the sky, in that regard, is the limit. Or should that be the gutter?
In television, we can increasingly expect the latter, but in the case of Seven Dwarves (9.30pm, Tuesdays, TV One) the tacky exploitation suggested by the title isn't matched by the show itself - not in the least, oddly enough.
Seven Dwarves might actually win my award for best foreign show on a local channel. It's a seven-part, seven-dwarf series from Britain, following a troupe of dwarf actors as they rehearse and take part in a pantomime production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the wilds of Woking.
Adding a hint of Big Brother to proceedings, the seven dwarves are sharing a house. Two of them - Grumpy and Blusher (a lady dwarf) - are in a relationship. At least one dwarf is gay, at least one is upper middle class. It's a bit like a pint-sized modernised Canterbury Tales, with each episode concentrating on a character at a time.
Last week's first episode told Max's Tale - Max being Max Laird, golf-playing Surrey-born son of a full-sized businessman and twin of a full-sized sister.
Max is a 31-year-old who happens to stand 1.27m. He's a punchy, forthright type - several sizes larger than life. He wants to be a proper actor and not have to "do the old hi-ho shit" of playing Grumpy in a panto every year.
"We're typecast," he says ruefully. I felt for him. At one point he tells his father he'd recently landed a job for a TV advert, dressing up as a gum protecting the teeth from the germs.
Though things were looking up. He'd been given a role in a proper movie called My Big Fat Gypsy Gangster, playing a compact gangster. His producer was very enthusiastic and a huge and shameless dwarf fan. "I like little people, always have" he said with a big smile. "I used to chase after them and stroke them for luck."
Seven Dwarves is an odd and loveable series, with the personal stuff told against the backdrop of the panto and the living together.
In tonight's episode, we meet Josh, who plays Sniffly in the panto and who comes from a whole family of show business dwarves.
And then there's bespectacled Craig, who plays Prof and is keen on the karaoke. He ended the first episode with a spirited crack at Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me in a pub full of enchanted drunks.
Television, really, doesn't get much better than this.

The only reason I have a new container is that part of the deal for birthday parties is that the birthday child gets to pick the flavor(s) (I have twins as well as singletons, it's one flavor per birthday child). Ice cream otherwise doesn't last long enough around here to get freezer burn, and I don't think there's anything wrong with using a partial ice cream container for a party if I have one--it's just highly unlikely that I would have one.
How big are the containers you're talking about? I've commonly seen 8litre containers - you wouldn't want to open a new one of those for a party if yours was only slightly eaten.

Or, Forgiveness Part IV
"When I was in school in England, did you ever wonder about me? Whether I liked my school, which subjects I liked, whether I was sick or well, if sick did I know what to do, when my school holidays were, whether I had a place to stay?"
"It never occurred to me," my mother replied. She was visiting me for the first (and last) time in California.

There are many things in this world that I am personally annoyed and inconvenienced by. That doesn't make them rude.If you hate VM and leave an outgoing message that states you don't want the caller to leave a VM, then I would agree it would be pretty dumb to leave you a VM thinking it's going to result in a call back. At the same time, it's a little bit much to expect that every caller must automatically conform to your preferred method of message-leaving. While I can probably cut someone some slack in a personal setting (I may not leave a VM, but if it's too hard to get a message to you, I'll probably stop trying), in a business setting I would go as far as saying that it's unprofessional to insist that no one leave you a VM and try another method of contact instead. VM is a pretty standard form of leaving a message...similar to the discussion we had about those that don't want to read text messages and preferred to have friends email. Everyone is definitely entitled to their preferences, but the negative consequences of insisting that your friends/business contacts conform to your preference are your fault...not theirs. Not to mention it seems almost like elevating oneself to some sort of special status "I hate VM, so everyone, please make note and don't bother me with your messages."
I prefer when people leave a reason on vm so I don't play a return call game of phone.

The coils on the downstairs unit have failed, once again. (I have attempted to quote the original post with this message.) If it does not work, search on my messages posted by Williamsburg from last year.
My husband and the current HVAC company want to yank out both geothermal systems and send them to the dump, even though they are about 6 years old. Talk about a waste of money and anguish...
Has anyone had any experience with Climatemaster residential systems?
My vote is to forget geothermal and install high-efficiency conventional systems. They seem to go forever.

Hyundai readies Volt-style hybrid
Whale Will in-bound
Posted in Science, 26th March 2009 00:02 GMT
'Leccy Tech Due to be unveiled at next month's Seoul Motor Show, the Hyundai Blue-Will is the Korean take on the plug-in parallel hybrid.
Hyundai's Blue-Will... must resist the temptation to add a 'y'
Odd name – what's the likelihood someone will scrawl a 'y' at the end of it? – and challenging styling aside, the basic underpinnings suggest Hyundai is working on a direct competitor to General Motor's Volt - aka the Ampera.
Motive power is supplied by a 152bhp 1.6l direct injection petrol engine and a 100kW (134bhp) electric motor both of which are connected to the drive wheels via a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) gearbox.
GM Volt-like spec
Unlike the Chevy Volt, which is always driven by its electric motor, the Blue-Will can be propelled by either the petrol engine, the electric motor or both.
Hyundai reckons a full charge of the car's lithium-ion polymer battery pack will be good for 64km (40 miles) of pure 'leccy motoring. That's exactly the same distance General Motors says a Volt will manage on a full charge. How's that for a coincidence?
As is common is today's eco-conscious concept cars, the panoramic glass roof has solar cells built in, and widespread use has been made of recycled materials. The headlamp bezels are in fact made from discarded drinks bottles while the interior is made from organically derived polylactide (PLA) materials.
Propelled by petrol, electricity or both
For more details, we'll just have to be patient and wait until the Seoul Motor Show opens its doors on 2 April. ®
