Highlights @ SMT Nuremberg: Higher performance, more efficiency
Press release, April 2, 2009
Essemtec, the leading manufacturer of flexible production systems for electronics, is a reliable innovator. At this year's SMT 2009 in Nuremberg, the Swiss company will present exciting new developments with higher performances and more efficiency. At Essemtec's stand, three complete SMT production lines for various production-scales will be presented. SMT 2009 will take place from May 5-7 in Nuremberg, Germany.
Essemtec delivers everything for SMT manufacturing from one source: printers, dispensers, placers and reflow ovens. This concept is advantageous because customers need only one contact person for the machines and processes. At SMT Nuremberg 2009, this overall concept with three complete production lines will be visualized: one fully automatic inline-production (SP900, PANFLEX2, RO-VARIO) and two stand-alone production lines for various requirements for capacity (SP200AV2, FLX2011, RO400FC and SP150, CSM7200-V and RO300FC).
A special highlight at this show will be the new highly flexible pick-and-place machine PANFLEX2, which focuses on the special requirements of electronic manufacturing with plenty of variations. Using the further developed X-vision system, the PANFLEX2 offers more functionality for less money. PANFLEX2 picks and places the smallest 01005 chips as precisely as the large-surfaced fine-pitch 50 x 50 mm QFPs. Additionally, the system can accommodate components up to 15 mm tall. This universal machine picks and places 400 x 300 mm sized printing boards with a speed of up to 12.000 components per hour.
The recently introduced RO-VARIO takes a special position within reflow soldering systems. This oven can solder or dry with circulating air, infrared or UV radiation. Customers may choose the number and types of the process modules. To make the many possibilities and features more understandable for the user, Essemtec will provide personal presentations this year during SMT Nuremberg. Reservations can be directly arranged at the stand.
In the field of stencil printers, two products stand out: the fully automatic SP900 and the semiautomatic SP150. The first one is distinguished by its excellent repeating accuracy and simplicity of use. At the EPP printer benchmark during SMT 2008, this printer caused several surprises among the current branch leaders.
The semiautomatic stencil printer SP150 is an exceptional option for island manufacturing. The machine is space saving, very exact and only prints if the built-in vision system has checked the positioning. The machine is even equipped with a built-in stencil cleaning system.
A reliable and precise dosing system, the CDS6200 is extraordinarily modular and can be configured for a large number of applications. The subject "Cappilar-Underfiller" at SMT 2009 in Nuremberg is going to be a hot topic and an appropriately equipped system for presentations will be available.
The fully automatic inlne printer SP900
For manufacturers of SMT-prototypes and small-lots, a visit to Paggen Werkzeugtechnik (hall 7, stand 301), Essemtec's partner company, will be worthwhile. Its manual and semiautomatic assembly equipment are top quality in numerous fields because they increase quality and speed in contrast to the tweezers technique, but investments still remain in small frame.
A visit to Essemtec's stand is also worthwhile in every case for those who already know or own Essemtec products. As in the previous year, a support desk will be set up and the Essemtec product specialists gladly will inform about new features and further developments, such as the new software release placer 9.0.

Fall 2012 Fashion: Everything You Need to Own
September's a bad time for me, shopping-wise. Huffing fumes from all of fashion month's gorgeous street style photos, I hallucinate. Logically I know my own wardrobe doesn't really meld with the paparazzi ploys that girls wear in the pictures, but I forget: metallic flatforms, neon varsity jackets—whatever the head-turning piece is at the moment—I get suckered into buying it.
Then, of course, I enter October with a whole bunch of statement pieces and no easy staples, and suddenly I'm running late to work whining to my dog that I have nothing to wear with my black dress but a tropical print vest and a porcupine quill necklace (that happened this morning). Like clockwork, that's when I do my best shopping, searching for the versatile things I'll actually wear (so often they'll be in 80 percent of my upcoming Facebook photos, I bet), like the leather jackets, printed dresses and trouser jeans in the slideshow below.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 25YearsOfBlissTrip A wonderful San Francisco hotel!
After much research and reading of reviews on many sites, my husband and I decided on Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf for our 25th Anniversary trip to San Francisco. I read a few negative comments from some travelers before booking my trip, but decided to go with the positive majority. Let me start by saying those that commented negatively are probably the type of people who could find fault at the White House. Some complained of bed comfort....but I love a soft, cozy bed and duvet, so we slept like babies each night! There was absolutely NO hidden fees or mislead information. The travel sites and the hotel direct site ALL stated there is a charge for in-room internet service and parking. We only rented a car for 1-day, from the Dollar on-site, and returned to the hotel well after closing time that night with no problems. From what I have read, a majority of the hotels in SF charge for parking anyway. For those that NEED internet service in their room, I would just suggest staying at another hotel or purchasing the daily internet service. There is AMPLE seating area available down at the wi-fi bar area if you need internet access. We were there for pleasure and saw no need to be in our rooms surfing the net. If you are there on business, there are plenty of options for you in the biz district. The location was most perfect for accessing Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, shopping and eating! We purchased a CityPass and there was a street car stop right out our door. Ghiradhelli Sq is just a short 5 quick blocks down the road where you can easily view the GG Bridge and famous cable car turn around. The concierge staff was second-to-none and was always more than willing to offer advice, directions or just a friendly hello. You will NOT regret your decision to stay here.

There were 2 staff members who stood out above the rest -- Prince, from the consiergne desk and Jane, the cleaning lady on the 3rd floor. Please convey my commendation to them for jobs well done. A gentleman in valet parking, unfortunately do not remember his name, was also outstanding.

Hollywood producer and writer, Holly Harold, a native of Portsmouth came to town to sign her star on the Portsmouth flood wall yesterday.
Harold is a writer and Co-Executive Producer of the SyFy Channel's, "Warehouse 13", the series that she is currently working on in Canada. Harold's resume also consists of writing and producing for the hit TV series, "Criminal Minds," and "Smallville."
"Everything that I have done has lead me up to this point. I graduated from Portsmouth High School, went to The Ohio State University, where I received an undergraduate degree in television and film and got my Masters at Ohio University because I wanted to be a Screenwriter, then I went out to L.A to be a Screenwriter," Harold said.
Harold presently resides in Los Angeles with her boyfriend, Bruce Grimshaw, and his two daughters, Tyler and Carly.
"Determination, knocking on a lot of doors, and a lot of hard work is what it entailed for me," Harold said.
Harold said that she was really grateful to have people from her hometown acknowledge her work.
"I don't even know how to express my gratitude it is a very nice honor from the city of Portsmouth," Harold said.
During her studies at The Ohio State University she received an internship at Lorimar Studios in Los Angeles. Harold went on to enter Warner Brothers writing program, where she produced her first episode of "Smallville" in 2002.
Additional work to Harold's credit, include "The Forgotten," starring actor, Christian Slater.
Harold said that in the writing industry, one's job is never done.
"This is an industry that is constantly evolving, there is always some new terrain to conquer," Harold said.
Harold said that her ultimate goal is to create her own television show.
While she is currently enjoying success, Harold said that the road to success has not been easy. Harold said her greatest accomplishment was mustering up the courage to pursue her dream of being a screenwriter.
"My greatest accomplishment was knocking on the first door and saying, I want to do this, and standing up to everybody who said you're never going make it.
According to Harold, the key to unlocking one's dreams and goals is hard work.
"Work really, really hard, and keep working really, really hard. Call every friend, call everybody that you know if you want to accomplish something, and just don't stop until you make it happen," Harold said.
Family members of Hoad Copas, Gordon M. Freeman, and Hezekiah Leroy Gordon "Stuff" Smith were also present and were recognized as additions to the floodwall.
The event was concluded with a reception at the Holiday Inn in downtown Portsmouth.

Best Uses
I was excited to find this jacket! I wanted a down belay jacket with some water resistance that still packed small. This jacket has been amazing. I wear it regularly and it is proving to be a great jacket! I stay remarkably warm. In fact, I have to take this jacket off at times if it is not cold enough. It's not a jacket that I leave in for long when I enter a building. The blue is a great color. (Be aware that the fabric is slightly sheer. If you don't like seeing feathers, go for the black.) The jacket has plenty of room for layers. I usually get XSs, but wanted this a little roomier for wearing over other jackets. It seems to have paid off. And per usual, my Jacket-thieving Partners have been stuffing their guy-selves into my jacket at belays..."wow, this is a Nice'un." Get your OWN! (:

A little light reading in bed
Carter says, "This hack uses a $7.99 Minde Mirror, and two $3.99 Morker table lamps from Ikea to make a beautiful framed mirror with reading lamps, perfect for over the bed.
In addition to the items from Ikea I used 1x4 wood tongue and groove boards to make the frame, angle irons to hold the frame together, 7/16' bolts for the lights, tape for the cords, wood stain, polyurethane finish, and various screws and hanging hardware.
Simply cut the boards with 45 degree angles to size to make the frame around the mirror. Make sure the groove side is on the inside of the frame. Connect 3 sides together using the angle irons. Slide the mirror into the groove then attach the fourth side. Next, I stained and finished the wood. Be sure to cover the mirror while doing this. Once dry, drill holes where you want the lights to go and screw the lights on with the bolts. Tape the cords to the back of the mirror and frame so they hang down closer to the center. Finally, attach hanging hardware and hang on the wall.
Ikea has framed mirrors similar to this without lights that they sell for between $50 and $150. This was done with lights for less than $30."

nice idea, but all I can see is those wires hanging down! You have wires hanging down where a headboard should be.
I would either bring the mirror down closer to the bed (where a headboard should be) or get a headboard. The current placement looks awkward. - AnonymousNovember 18, 2008 1:15 PM
Agreed, the current placement is odd. Cover the wires with a headboard. And use better looking lamps. That plastic cheapens the whole affect.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 19, 2008 6:38 AM
Yes, the wires are a bit noticeable but overall it's a great idea and looks fine -- the addition of some type of headboard to cover most of the cables and complete the overall picture would make it fabulous. How about a padded or button-tufted type of headboard so it's comfie for leaning against whilst reading? Nice hack, it's given me some ideas for later!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 21, 2008 3:48 PM
Not bad... but what shocks the h*** out of me is that the minde mirror is $7.99 in the US and $29.99 in Canada. Seriously, what's up there?

The return of THE CHALLENGE - with a twist
Last year witnessed the introduction of the most thrilling contest the sports world has ever known:
Unfortunately THE CHALLENGE did not complete its entire course due to the highly irregular discontinuity in the spatio-temporal continuum of this universe, as THE KNOWLEDGE pointed out in one of his posts last year
this year, THE CHALLENGE has made its appearance again, and will through the course of the football season, notwithstanding any unexpected discontinuities
once the season starts, THE CHALLENGE will assume its usual form wherein the competitors will pick the score of the Michigan game, and the one(s) to predict the correct or closest score will be anointed as THE KNOWLEDGE's PROTEGE OF THE WEEK
as usual, THE KNOWLEDGE will only provide pointers to each game in order to aid in appropriate score selection (except, of course, for the first game where THE KNOWLEDGE will reveal the score himself, thus eliminating THE CHALLENGE for Week 1
at the end of the season, the person that has earned the POTW honors the highest number of times, or who has predicted the best overall will earn the greatest honor on this very blog:
as everyone knows, these honors are extraordinary in nature and the attainment of the ultimate honor of TOP FRIEND will instantly lend credibility and celebrity to the winner
as an addition for the year, THE CHALLENGE debuts RIGHT NOW (with this very post) in a different form
in this version of THE CHALLENGE, the reader is asked to predict the participants in the BSC title game in Jan 2012, and the winner of that game (the mythical national champion)
there is no need to predict the score of that game, as that is beyond the scope of other individuals on this board. any attempt to predict the score will automatically disqualify that person
the winner of this edition of THE CHALLENGE will be honored at the end of the season along with the TOP FRIEND as CO-SOARER OF THE KNOWLEDGE
as a pointer to significantly increase everyone's chances of winning, THE KNOWLEDGE would like to reveal that the title game participants will come from the following pool:
Baylor, LSU, Wisconsin, Oregon, Michigan, Oklahoma, Boise State, Western Michigan and TCU
since the results of this will not be known until the end of the year, THE KNOWLEDGE is also posting a smaller CHALLENGE, titled THE QUESTION
THE QUESTION is how many bowl games will OSU, Columbus be banned from playing in (other than the ones for which they don't qualify)
competitors are encouraged to predict the answers to both THE QUESTION and THE CHALLENGE
We must be approaching football season. The Knowledge is revving things up.
"the Spirit of Michigan...is based on a deathless loyalty to Michigan and all her ways....and a conviction that nowhere is there a better university, in any way, than this Michigan of ours" - Fielding Yost
(In Craig's voice) If I could be top friend of THE KNOWLEDGE, I'd be soooo happy.
For shits and giggles, Michigan over LSU, and 2
THE QUESTION: = two bowl bans
THE CHALLENGE = Oklahoma and Oregon (and these would have been my picks regardless of your list) - Champion = Oklahoma
"I promise you we would have walked to the University of Michigan." - Brady Hoke
THE CHALLENGE: Oklahoma over Boise St.
THE QUESTION: 2 bowls
University of Dayton Class of '13 // The Twitterz
2 bowls, Oklahoma vs LSU Ok wins
"Ohhh, rough, just the way your mother likes it, Trebek!"
I'm going outside the list (!) and saying Alabama vs. Oklahoma, and a 1 year bowl ban for OSU.
I predict Alabama vs. Oklahoma with OU as the winner.
But, I'd say (and hope) 2 year bowl ban by the time everything is said and done. It might not happen with the August meeting, but after Ohio is hit with more crap, it will have to be that long.
but they wont be #1 at the end. Losing the Big 12 championship game, and Nebraska, practically makes the conference a mid-major. It increases their chances of going undefeated, but they don't have strength of schedule anymore, and they don't have the marquee Prime Time matchup against a top 10 ranked opponent at seasons end. TCU has a better shot of running the table in the Big East than OU does, even after losing their qb. If the Big12 were smart they would've added TCU and maybe Air Force or Nevada or Tulsa to offset Colorado and Nebraska leaving. They need to score 50 pts every game to offset what the conference has lost and playing 1 fewer than everybody else now, but they lost their OC too so it could be a bumpy year for them.
How many times have you been on the freeway and had someone fly by you at 100 mph then end up 2 cars ahead of you at the off ramp? What's the point? -Mark Harmon
Still, as long as OU doesn't lose, and I don't think they will, the should retain the #1 spot. Maybe a close win could see someone leap-frog them, but I doubt it. That close win would have to be to a lousy team.
The only real tough games they have (and are tough enough to keep them at the top if they win) are FSU away and Ok State in Stillwater. If they can make it through those two they should be in the championship game. The OSU game is their last game of the season and hopefully is a fun watch.
Oklahoma still has Oklahoma State, Texas, and Texas A&M in its conference, and even though Texas was mediocre last year, they'll be above-average at worst this year. They have a great strength of schedule, playing a preseason top-10 FSU team in Tallahassee, nine conference games including a marquee season-ending matchup with their little brother (and fellow top-ten team) Oklahoma State. That would be their marquee primetime matchup at the season's end. TCU will not be moving to the Big East until 2012. IMHO, The Big Twelve is still way better than the Big East, and it may be better than the ACC as well. If Oklahoma doesn't run the table (which is a definite possibility), they'll probably be out, but if they go undefeated they'll be in.
Michigan over Oklahoma and 3 year bowl ban.
WMU over Baylor, and 0.
Just give me the title now.
Special Teams means special times!
Oklahoma vs. LSU.
OSU will not be banned from a bowl game.
Lived the Dream. 2008-2012
2 and LSU over Oklahoma
"What the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve and those who stay will be champions." - Bo
The Challenge: Oklahoma and Wisconsin, Oklahoma winning
The Question: 2
OSU will be banned from 2 bowl games
Boise St. vs. Florida St. in the national championship game
'Cats comin' for y'all
and Oklahoma will beat TCU.
"I have three kids and no money. Why can't I have no kids and three money?"
2 bowls
oklahoma and florida state oklahoma wins
"Wasn't that Michigan drive just great. That's like Patton riding into Berlin." ~Bob Ufer
Oklahoma over TCU.
1-year bowl ban.
"The Artes, The Scientia, The Veritas."
The QUESTION: 2
The CHALLENGE: Florida State over Alabama
and they will not be banned from any bowls unfortunately. I have a feeling they will walk on this.
"Obviously you're not a golfer."
THE CHALLENGE- Michigan defeats Oregon. Michgan will play in, and win the first ever B1G Championship, and play in the BCS Championship game. Oregon will be the only other team to escape their conference unscathed and win a conference championship game.
How many times have you been on the freeway and had someone fly by you at 100 mph then end up 2 cars ahead of you at the off ramp? What's the point? -Mark Harmon
Oklahoma over Alabama. 0
I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?
Oklahama over Alabama.
tsio banned for 3 years which will be 2 games b/c they won't qualify their 3rd year (2014).
Those who stay will be champions
1 bowl game. Also, Wisconsin over Alabama.
Coach Hoke once told me that a moral victory is still a (expletive deleted) loss.
Alabama over TCU (yah its not on the list, what of it?), and 2 years.
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!
Bowl Ban=0
Oklahoma over Wisconsin.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
LSU over Oklahoma. My wishful thinking comes through with a 3 year bowl ban. Let's go repeat offender!
we (unfortunately), TCU, Boise, Baylor and Western have no chance to win the MNC, apparently The Knowledge knows that either OK, LSU, Wisconsin or Oregon will win. That is news in itself.
As to the challenge: LSU over OK. Question: 1 bowl
"Everyone gets dumped Gabe. Let me give you some advice: a little coverup on your Adams Apple will make it appear smaller. Which will make you appear less like a transvestite."
The Challenge: Wisconsin over Oklahoma
The Question: 2 year bowl ban
'M-Burns', I'll never have better facial hair than this...
The Challenge: Texas-Florida State
The Question: 3 year bowl ban
"After all was said and done, there was nothing left to do."
Florida State over Boise State in the National Championship game.
TSIO's FOIA delay tactics prove effective, and TSIO gets off lightly with a mere 2 year bowl ban. Fer what they done?! Fer what they done?!
Alabama over Oregon.
As always, the answer is...42.
Alabama over Oklahoma [BONUS: score will be Bama 27 OK 21]
1 year bowl ban for OSU
We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!
Oklahoma and Boise State
OSU gets a 2 year bowl ban

Smooth 8-speed gives Chrysler 300 V-6 an automatic boost
As Kelsey Mays detailed in an earlier review, Chrysler redesigned its 300 full-size sedan for the 2011 model year, bringing the car up to date in all ways except one: Its automatic transmission continued as a five-speed.

If you haven't driven one in a decade or so, forget what you thought you knew about Rudolf Diesel's 1883 invention: that diesel engines are noisy, smoky, heavy, substantially more expensive to build and slow. Though light-duty diesels haven't caught on in the U.S., there's a reason why they dominate European markets where fuel costs are about double what we pay.

2011 Lexus CT200h: Lexus for less
Americans love hybrid hatchbacks, but mostly for the hybrid part; overall, we're still lukewarm on traditional hatchbacks. Lexus added a third ingredient -- budget luxury -- to create the CT 200h. With a starting price just over $29,000, it's the least expensive Lexus in nearly two decades, and it shows.

2012 BMW 650i convertible: Muscular yet flexible
Flex. To you and me, it's just a harmless word. To the engineering team charged with producing a convertible, the very mention of flex, flexible or flexibility can cause apoplectic fits and an enraged lawn-toss of their CAD monitors.

Infiniti combines fuel economy and luxury in M Hybrid
Shuddering in anticipation of increasing federal fuel economy standards, luxury car manufacturers that traditionally paid little attention to gas consumption are finally paying heed. Take Nissan's up-market marque, Infiniti, which for 2012 introduced its first-ever hybrid, the M.
Car review: 2012 Hyundai Genesis
When it made its 2009 debut, Hyundai's flagship sedan, the Genesis, was a marvel. It offered rear-wheel drive, a potent V-8 option and an interior nearly on par with those of Lexus and Acura. It was so good, Cars.com bestowed upon it our highest annual award, "Best of 2009." For 2012, the Genesis gets some mild tweaks to its looks, undercarriage and, most importantly, to the engines, including an all-new 429-horsepower, 5.0 liter V-8.

2012 Acura TL improves with makeover
In its prior incarnation, the grille was hideously toy-like. And the car, as a whole, lacked the sort of styling panache buyers of luxury sport sedans demand when they lay down $40,000-plus.

More refined Chrysler 300 is still a knockout
Five years ago, Chrysler's then-new 300 sedan walked into the ring and delivered a knockout blow to the rest of the full-size car market. Like any boxer with a chip on his shoulder, this nascent Chrysler carried itself with an air of brash cockiness that consumers flocked to in droves and critics lauded for its design.

2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist: First Drive
The 2012 Buick LaCrosse will be the first model to receive GM's eAssist mild-hybrid system, a new take on a design used in past cars like the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid and Green Line versions of the Saturn Aura and Vue. Regrettably, those cars delivered maximum public-relations pain for their mileage gain: They failed to provide the efficiency of the day's full hybrids, and critics thought GM was disingenuous to use the hybrid term. The newly named eAssist boasts up to 25% better mileage than the current four-cylinder LaCrosse, and it drives well, too.

Hyundai enters luxury-car category with 2011 Equus
There's something wrong about a pair of 7-year-olds lounging like sultans in the back of a $60,000 luxury vehicle, downing Go-Gurt from an armrest mini fridge, watching Godzilla on a private screen enhanced with 17-speaker surround sound, and bicker-battling over a remote control that commands a rear-seat massage feature.

Cadillac CTS-V coupe: What planet is this car from?
We're cruising down Florida's Turnpike in the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V coupe when a teenager in a thoroughly hot-rodded, custom-painted Honda pulls alongside, gives the CTS-V coupe a long, hard look, then speeds away, a "thumb's up" emerging from the Honda's sunroof.

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe: Unmistakably American
It appears Cadillac's design studio has finally found a remedy to U.S. automakers' inferiority complex. For decades, the neurosis has afflicted the studios of Detroit, causing them to turn out bland, awkward or copycat designs, while their German and Japanese counterparts created strong visual identities unique to their brands.

BMW 750Li xDrive: Money does buy happiness
For a driving enthusiast the classic problem with luxury cars has been that while the passengers may be delighted with their coddling the driver risks death by ennui, a lingering and horrible way to go. But luxury cars are becoming more entertaining to drive and one of the best examples is the 2010 BMW 750Li xDrive.

Car review: 2011 Porsche Cayenne
In its first full redesign since the model's 2003 debut, the 2011 Porsche Cayenne is quicker, larger, roomier, more efficient and richer than the previous version -- and it is still very much a Porsche, on both road and track. Along with new exterior and interior styling, the Cayenne comes with a sliding back seat, increased power and, according to Porsche, better mileage in all versions.
Car review: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E Class Cabriolet
A common bit of advice when weighing a big-ticket purchase is to separate the things you need from the things you want. Hard as it may be to distinguish sometimes -- a Rolex is better at keeping time, right? -- there's almost always a difference.
Car review: 2011 BMW M3 Coupe
The highest praise I can give a sports car is to say it performs well both on a track and while driving slowly around town. Why? Because anybody can make a no-compromises car that's fast on the track but beats you to death on the streets. Likewise, anybody can make a comfy boulevard cruiser that wallows around the track. What's tricky is hitting that balance.

Buick Regal: A looker you'll want to handle
More than a few surprises have accompanied the rebirth of General Motors. Chief among them is the resurgence of Buick, which was chosen as one of just four brands GM kept alive, even as it euthanized better-selling brands. After piloting the latest offering from the premium American brand, I can see why those in GM's ivory tower picked Buick to survive.

More than $60,000 for a Ford Mustang?
Let's address this and get past it quickly. There have been more expensive Mustangs, but they were all race track-ready cars. Truthfully, this one is pretty close to being a racer. And since it's the best Mustang I've ever driven, and that includes all those race track-only models, the price seems -- well, still expensive. But justifiable.

Buick Enclave: Where luxury meets the minivan
A lot of car shoppers link minivans with a terminal case of parental frumpiness, but when it comes to outright utility those vehicles have long beaten more socially acceptable crossovers, hands down. General Motors' three-row crossovers -- the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave -- narrow that divide.

Mercedes E350: Last large wagon standing
It is not often one gets to drive a species that — at least in the U.S. — is endangered. But I am. It is a station wagon, a segment that is being virtually wiped out by sport-utility vehicles and crossover car-like SUVs.

BMW makes driver feel like one hot mama
At first glance, I was the most impractical choice for test driving the 2010 BMW 335i coupe. The four-seater is sporty, small and only has two doors with a small back seat. I'm slow and large (I'm nine months pregnant as I write this) with two small children in large convertible child-safety seats. But having me test drive this car was a genius move on the MotherProof.com's Chief Mama Kristin Varela's part. I got to have one last sports-car "hurrah" before my third child comes and I can no longer fit my family into a car this small, and if I can make this car work for me, you know it would be a dream for someone without all of my accoutrements.

HS250h a little less Lexus, a lot less Prius
It's revealing that for a few days in early May, the top item on Lexus' media Web site was a report touting the progress Lexus and Toyota have made in handling product recalls. "Remedies," as Toyota calls them, have been performed on more than 3 million vehicles for sticking accelerators and floor mats that can trap accelerator pedals, plus some modifications to anti-lock brake systems.

Cadillac's chances of deposing the king of luxury crossovers is a lot better now that consumers, the media and even the government have taken to labeling Toyota as a villain, the role those same consumers, media and government bestowed on General Motors the last few years.

Piloting a machine powered by a supercharged 5-liter, 510-horsepower V-8 able to burst from a standing stop to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph, won't win over many, if any, environmentalists.

You'd think it would be easy for other manufacturers to copy – just buy a BMW, dismantle the suspension and duplicate it, and you could match the ride and handling.

WONDERFUL frozen yogurt! Better than anywhere else I've been, and the people there are so nice! I can't wait to go back!
Pay no attention to this 'real NAVAJO'. I'm part Native myself (I know this guy would not consider me real; Guess what? I don't care) and I am not offended by the name in any way. The Navajo Hogan ROCKS! Why don't you go pick on the KC Chiefs or Cleveland Indians or are you too wasted on Mad Dog 2020?
A gallery filled with the unique visions of talented local artists in a variety of media and the recommended Edge framing business; the boutique has beautiful one-of-a-kind jewely and gift items. The owner, Patrice, is a watercolor artist and instructor.
Probably the best place in Colorado Springs for tea and lunch. The food was incredible with the flaky warm puff pastry shells filled with various types of sandwich spreads. I've had the crab, shrimp and chicken and they were all wonderful. The scones are to die for, always fresh and always wonderful. The choice of teas was fabulous! I recommend the melange du chamonix or any of the breakfast teas. The service was exceptional from both the lovely waitress and the owner who came out to say hi while she was baking fresh scones in the back. The house is charming both upstairs and downstairs full of unique gifts and lots of beautiful vintage items. I highly recommend this place and I have already booked my holiday high tea party for me and some cousins and I have no doubt that it will be fabulous!
Best selection ive ever seen, Great clones (too bad order only but nice and healty) best quality around. I havn't seen meds this good since i lived in Cali!
Never had anything but a good time there. Great food, service and atmosphere.
Food and margs were excellent
Ambiance great
Waitstaff very attentive with great recommendations
Can't wait to go back
Love my Caregivers ! Best meds in the Springs....
The chef is a genius. We enjoyed our dinner very much.
Best cheesy garlic biscuits in the world!
ZANE'S STEAKHOUSE SUCKED- ZANE'S GAVE ME FOOD POISONING (I have the credit card receipt and the Emergency Room documents) AND IS NOW CLOSED. I GUESS THAT SAYS IT ALL. THE FAMOUS HAS EXCELLENT FOOD, ATMOSPHERE AND WAIT STAFF. I think "SmartestMonkey" needs to rethink his/her name because you are truly an effing moron. The meal was "expensive" at Zane's because of the ER co-pay, Einstein.
The real deal neighborhood Italian place to eat...simply, delicious, at the right price!
My review of Canna Meds Wellness Center gets five stars, and that's no B.S.
I'm always treated exceptionally well when I visit. The strains are always changing
and are always great. The earwax hash a personal favorite of mine is out of this world. I choose to use Canna Meds because the medicine is always potent and fresh,the prices are very reasonable, did I mention the hash, oh and the lotions,balms,creams really work, the glass they carry is super strong and reasonably priced, I could go on and on. If your looking for a place where you are treated like a person and not a dollar sign look no further. Chris keep up the great work and great meds and I'll keep coming in to buy it.
2011 marks the 3rd year of operation for Pens & Needles! In those years we have been blessed with the opportunity to be voted Best of Colorado in 2010, and 2011 by our customers! As a owner I WANT to show the community and public who we are as a business, and as artist. We aren't a business that is afraid to let past, and present customers know how people feel about us! But we are a business that can truly say "hey we will try harder and work harder to fix it" because it may sound cheesy but we really do care about what you think! Every review good and bad is a gift for us to acknowlegde and learn from! We want to be more efficient, ensure satisfaction and quality for every customer! As I always mention that we are human I will never use that as an excuse to say that we made a mistake, simply I will just promise you to correct them! Pens & Needles is taking the steps to educate ourselves on what you need as customers, as well as what the community needs as a leader in this industry! We are going above to educate our artist as well as staff! Whiether its continued education in body art, or business practices; we appreciate the feedback. Thank you! For taking your time to express, and more importantly thinking enough of us to tell us the good and bad that you experienced! We listen, I listen and my day depends on the good and bad expressed as it gives me direction!
Fantastic meds and the consistancy I have had trouble finding out on west side. The only place ill go and the Chernobyl is the BEST!
Regarding the posts from snephtar, this is slander and obviously fake. Zane's Steak House serves Sterling Silver Beef, one of the finest producers in the country. You posted twice, three minutes apart. Most expensive dinner you've ever had? You obviously did not eat at Zane's. Disappointed that the Indy would even let you post this.
Always good food at a good price every time we go there. It's small, get there right at 5PM when they open to get a seat. Their house wine is sold by the full Liter, in a carafe, not the overpriced 750ML bottles found in other eateries.
I have eaten many times at Zane's Steakhouse (and their predecessor -- Mason Jar -- still same owners, just a new name) and I have NEVER gotten sick. They have great steaks and they are the best in the state at fried chicken. You will not be disappointed.
