This looks great. Wanted to use this on a site and was going to go down the road of director. Will be great to only have one backend for the whole site now.
Thanks again for all of your modules.

Looks great. The file manager module has really nice usability for maintaining renaming/reordering/removing/adding files. I was working on a module that would intergate into director rather than the SSP flash file. So the user maintains everything from with in director then creates a new SSP page from silver stipe where the availible albums gallerys would be displayed. I'm not too sure which way would be more efficent for user friendlness? It's pretty hard to compete with director's multiple image uploads.

The ImageGallery supports bulk uploading.
I love Director. I think it's a real triumph of web application development. But I can always sense a little bit of dismay in a client's voice when he finds out he has two different places to manage his site. Photos in one, and content in the other. The idea was to bring a lot of the Director functionality (including batch uploads) to SS for a more coherent content management.

@ ntessore -- I like the idea. My only objection to it is that you've now created static files to feed your gallery, when the intent of CMS is to make them dynamic. That's why I chose to have them as a dynamic URL, like an RSS feed almost.
@ David -- That's totally weird. You got a link? Have you tried refreshing? Maybe the URLs failed because the images weren't generated properly?

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne says he's pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor hit & run charge filed after FBI agents apparently trailing him in a campaign finance case saw him back into a parked SUV while driving a borrowed car.
Horne issued a statement Wednesday saying he paid a $300 fine. He also said if he had known he had damaged the Range Rover he would have left a note for the vehicle's owner.
Horne's case in Phoenix City Court had been repeatedly delayed as his lawyers took depositions from the FBI agents and asked a judge to thrown the case out for selective prosecution.
The FBI agents who were following Horne in March 2012 refused to say exactly why they were following him when questioned by Horne's attorney.

SPRING HILL, KS- A nine-year-old girl in Kansas is dead from a brain-eating amoeba.
Health officials say Hally Nicole Yust, passed after she contracted the amoeba from swimming in several different bodies of water over the last two weeks.
The vibrant and loving young girl died on Wednesday from a rare infection.
"You are more likely to die from drowning than you are from ever dying from this organism, it's like a one in a billion, this girl's one in a billion," said Hally's father Shon.
"One in a billion" is how people who knew nine-year-old Hally, describe her.
It must have been a little boring in heaven the last few weeks so God looked around the earth and he found the most interesting, dynamic, fantastic person he could and he said Hally you've gotta come be with me," mother Jenny Yust remarked.
Hally loved playing basketball, water skiing, and fishing, and she never settled for 50% effort.
"Anything she did, she was going to be the best at it. She came home from school one day and said Parker I beat every single kid in the class, and I said that's great- but what about all the boys- she said, yeah, the boys as well," said her older brother Parker.
Just as Hally was fearless in so many ways, her family asks others not to fear the amoeba that killed their angel.
"Our family is very active in the water, and we will continue to be," her father said.
And they are determined her young, but full life will not be in vain.
A celebration of life will be held for Hally on Monday.

At first glance, it may appear Bradenton homeowner Brent Greer is filled with patriotism, but there is much more behind the red, white and blue paint job on his home.
"[I] decided to paint the American flag in order to show this is still America" Greer explained.
He added that he did to show he won't just lie down in the face of what he feels is unfair treatment by his local government.
"They're threatening me and my family," he said.
It started with a dead Christmas tree outside of his house. Someone reported it to code enforcement, prompting officers to investigate his property.
They ended up reporting other violations, like issues with the paint, missing window screens and loose railings. Trash was also reportedly on the property.
"'There was a debris pile,' he said....show it to me," Greer said.
Facing a $250-a-day fine, Greer became fed up and started painting the flag, which is not a violation.
"Code compliance is all we're looking for," said Code Compliance Manager Volker Reiss.
A code enforcement hearing has been scheduled for later this month but officials hope it doesn't come to that.
"We have 3000 cases a year and less than a 100 go to a hearing," Reiss said.
Still, Greer says he won't back down.
"I'm not going to pay them," he said.

The last time the University of Massachusetts men's basketball team reached the NCAA tournament, more than 25 percent of the squad was barely out of diapers.
Now, those youngsters hope to follow their upper-classmen on a long postseason run.
The Minutemen and their fans reacted with shouting and jumping to the news Sunday night that they will be part of this year's NCAA tournament.
During the selection show, it was announced that UMass will be the six-seed in the Midwest bracket and face the winner of a first-round game between Iowa and Tennessee.
The Minutemen's game will take place Friday in Raleigh, NC.
Once the emotions calmed down, coach Derek Kellogg told CBS 3 how much it means to him, as a former UMass player, to lead his team back to the big dance.
"Well 15 years has been a long time and this is something that we've worked long and hard for," said Kellogg. "Not only our staff, but our families and giving our time and effort to the community and the basketball program. So to see it come to fruition and to have your name called on Selection Sunday is a testament for a lot of hard work from a lot of people from the basketball program and throughout the university."
It was not just the team celebrating Sunday evening at the Amherst Brewing Company, as plenty of UMass fans were in attendance.
They told CBS 3 that this is a day they have been waiting for for some time.
"This is the first time we've made the tournament in 16 years," said Will Shen, a UMass student. "It's a huge, exciting moment, and the fact that we're getting matched against an opponent I think we can beat easily when the time comes is very exciting. We're definitely going to go very far in the tournament."
Should UMass win their first game on Friday, they will likely face Duke in the next round.
The third-seeded Blue Devils will take on 14-seed Mercer in their opener.

Asian Budget Carrier Wars Intensify
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Rumors abound that one of Asia's biggest low cost carriers, the Indonesia based privately held PT Lion Mentari Airlines (Lion Air), a traditional Boeing (NYSE: BA) customer, is planning to place another massive order of more than 200 jets, this time however, with Airbus. In late November, Lion Air's Commercial Director Edward Sirait said, "We are studying every possibility to fulfill our target for the planes from every manufacturer, including with Airbus." The order, according to the French newspaper Dépêche du Midi, is now expected to be for 220 Airbus A320 Neos and will be officially announced on Jan. 17 when Airbus releases its annual sales figure.
About a year ago, Lion Air placed the biggest order in Boeing's history for 201 737 Maxs and 29 737-900 ERs for $21.7 billion. This could be a huge blow for Boeing but an extraordinary achievement for EADS's Airbus, which is looking to bag Boeing's biggest customer. The current problems with the 787 Dreamliner are not helping anyone in Boeing's corner right now. Airbus is already a primary supplier of aircrafts to Lion Air's rival Air Asia. With the new order, the company will significantly enhance its foothold in Asia Pacific. Boeing recorded a total of 1,200 orders in 2012 while Airbus is expected to touch 900 orders in the same period. You can expect a number of those orders to get canceled in the coming months. This misstep by Boeing will be Airbus's gain.
The Kuala Lumpur-based AirAsia Bhd is the largest low cost airliner of Asia operating in the booming budget carrier industry of the continent. Like Lion Air, AirAsia had also placed a massive order for 200 Airbus A320 Neos last year for $18 billion, which was the biggest commercial order ever received by Airbus. More recently, in December, AirAsia placed another order for 100 single-aisle Airbus A320 jets at undisclosed terms, but industry experts have given an estimate order size of around $9.37 billion. As has always been the tradition, large aircraft orders almost always involve leading political figures from the U.S. (for Boeing) or from Europe (for Airbus). When Tony Fernandes , AirAsia's boss, was signing the new order at Airbus's facility in the UK, he was flanked by none other than the British Prime Minister himself, Mr. David Cameron. AirAsia has become Airbus's biggest customer and has so far ordered 475 aircrafts.
Airbus and Boeing have a long history of rivalry, but a new battle for the Asia Pacific market is now brewing up between AirAsia and Lion Air. Indonesia's Lion Air has already taken the battle to AirAsia by establishing 'Malindo Airways' for Malaysia, to compete directly in AirAsia's backyard. Of course, AirAsia already operates through its associate company 'Indonesia AirAsia' in Lion Air's territory.
Indonesia AirAsia is 49% owned by AirAsia Bhd. The unit reported spectacular performance in the previous quarter with its revenues increasing by 12% as the company swung from a loss of $2.66 million (IDR 25.7 billion) in Q3-2011 to a profit of $7.71 million (IDR 74.5 billion). Overall, AirAsia's revenues in the first nine months of 2012 went up by 11.53% from last year to $1.18 billion. This translated into a 7.1% increase in net operating income from $155.27 million in the first nine months of 2011 to $166.30 million in 2012. For the third quarter, the company reported a 9% increase in the number of passengers carried and a 10% increase in capacity from the same quarter last year.
AirAsia has significant representation in iShares MSCI Malaysia Index ETF (NYSEMKT: EWM) while the aircraft industry of the developed world, from U.S and Europe to Singapore and South Korea, is represented in the Guggenheim Airline ETF (UNKNOWN: FAA.DL). In the last six months, FAA has been up by 20% whereas EWM is up by 8.4%. FAA is primarily concerned with the U.S and European airline industry, which is already struggling, therefore investors are advised to avoid this ETF. The issues Boeing will have over the 787 will put a big drag on FAA. Malaysia's economy is tied closely to both China and Singapore. Both countries look to have turned the corner on GDP growth in the medium term. Political uncertainty in Malaysia is a risk for the first time in 60 years, however.
The rivalry between AirAsia and Lion Air will continue to capture headlines from the Asian airline industry. The competition will be on price, which is good news for the customers but terrible for investors. This is evident in AirAsia's stock on the Kuala Lumpur exchange – AirAsia Bhd – which is down by 23.5% in the past six months. Both firms will be willing to compromise on profits for greater market share now. Currently, AirAsia is growing at a pace of 25 new aircraft per year. With the new order of 100 jets, it will have a total of 350 new A320/320Neos delivered in the next fourteen years. The market of Asia Pacific is rapidly growing, and these two companies will continue to fight for it. It is the only regional market where air travel is projected to grow significantly in the next seven years.
However, there are some positives for AirAsia's investors. The company is looking to fix an annual dividend that will be paid regularly. Following the listing of its Thai business unit at the domestic stock exchange, Thai AirAsia has become self-sufficient and no longer requires the support of its parent. The management is making similar plans for the Indonesian unit as well. Although investors are worried about the increasing competition, in the long term larger market share is going to pay off and a more diversified structure should pay off in the long run.

It's officially spring and time to freshen up the house. Welcome the new season by making rooms feel lighter and brighter, said Sally Morse, Hunter Douglas creative services director.
Morse and Hunter Douglas, makers of fine window coverings, offered these tips for spring refreshers:
Take another stab at clearing clutter. OK, this may have been an ongoing project all winter, but spring cleaning starts with clutter control.
"Try setting the kitchen timer for 15 minutes per area, like the bedroom closet, pantry or foyer," Morse said. "Telling yourself you're going to de- clutter the home in one weekend sounds draining. Rather, split up the tasks into smaller ones, so you stay focused and don't get lost in the process."
Her suggestion: Make a list of all the areas you have to organize, then space it out over a few days. To each space, take three bags. Use one for trash, one for give-aways and perhaps one for a garage sale. Once sorted, remove those bags of stuff, then return items being kept to their proper place.
If something needs fixing, either repair or replace it right away or discard it, Morse said. Otherwise, that item will just linger in disrepair.
Bring sunlight and nature indoors. Open the blinds and clean the windows. Consider new window treatment for brighter light in rooms; they'll look cleaner and feel larger. Bouquets of fresh flowers bring spring inside, too.
Brighten rooms with lighter linens. Swap out heavier, darker fabrics and textiles such as rugs, pillow covers and towels for lighter ones, both in texture and color, Morse said. Top beds with a lightweight blanket. Fold the comforter and place it at the foot of the bed for chilly nights.
For more ideas, click on www.hunterdouglas.com.
Happy first weekend of spring! It's officially time to get to work. Prepare garden beds by digging in compost, aged manure and soil amendments. Let it mellow for at least two weeks before planting those beds.
Got ground ready for growing? In the vegetable garden, plant seeds for beets, carrots, celery, Swiss chard, endive, fennel, jicama, leaf lettuce, mustard, radishes and turnips.
In the flower garden, plant aster, celosia, cosmos, larkspur, nasturtium, nicotiana, portulaca, salvia, snapdragon, verbena and zinnia.
March 23 also represents the average last day of frost in much of the greater Sacramento area. That doesn't mean it's not cold at night. Protect early, warm-weather transplants with plastic 2-liter soda bottles or gallon jugs. Cut off the bottom and leave the top open for air circulation.
Weed, weed, weed. Get them out before they go to seed. According to master gardeners, the most common weeds in Sacramento County right now: Filaree, wild geranium, bedstraw and such annual grasses as foxtail, barley, wild oats and bluegrass.
Instead of pulling weeds, use a sharp hoe. Cut the weeds off just under the root crown; aim for about a half-inch below soil level. That method disturbs soil less than pulling weeds, and keeps new seeds from migrating to the surface where they can sprout.

Awesome! Count me in with a few friends!
BBQ Time!14/5/2012 - Update! Due to crappy weather on Sunday, we'll do a drive, and find somewhere for food while in the area. I changed the time to 0900 also, so no need to get up so early. We'll head up to the Grampians general area, but if we find roads that lead somewhere else, then so be it.
Our next cruise on the 20th May, will be a BYO BBQ cruise. Well, not your own BBQ, but the food. We'll be heading towards the Grampians (or similar, I'm mapping it out now) and finding a BBQ spot, where we can sit for a while, talk shit, drive some great roads.
Date: 20th May 2012
Meet Point: Twin Mobil Service Station, Outbound - Google Link
Time: 0900 for 0915 departure
What to bring: Yourself, your car, a UHF radio (optional, but Dick Smith sells them in pairs, cheap), a tank full of fuel, BBQ food and drinks.
BBQ utensils will be provided, you just need to bring what you're going to eat. So I'll bring BBQ tools, plates and cutlery.
Who: Anyone and everyone. If you have any friends who want to come along, then by all means bring them along
I'm in the process of mapping it out now, if not Grampians, its going to be in that general area, and definitely will be a BBQ.
Our last day up in the Grampians was 2005!
Awesome! Count me in with a few friends!

AMBEV: Beer profits flow in Brazil
Long-term growth is on tap for this leading Latin American beer and beverage distributor.
Companies with good leadership, attractive product lines and growing customer bases just naturally tend to maintain their leadership, and investors notice. One company that continues to prove itself as a leader is Companhia de Bebidas das Américas (ABV).
The firm sells beer, soda and other beverages in its home country of Brazil, 12 other Latin American companies and Canada. Its name is Portuguese for Beverage Co. of the Americas, but is usually shortened to AMBEV.
Selling beer in Brazil (which is the third-largest beer consumer in the world, after China and the U.S.) is AMBEV's biggest business, producing more than half of revenues. The company's 70% market share in Brazil is led by its Skol, Brahma and Boa brands.
AMBEV's Canadian business unit sells Bud and Bud Light, Labatt's Blue and Stella Artois. The company also has a toehold in international sales, with distribution of Brahma products in Europe, Asia and Africa.
While a majority of its money comes from beer sales, AMBEV also has a substantial lineup of non-alcoholic drinks, including Pepsi-Cola, Guarana Antarctica, Gatorade and Lipton teas.
Beer is often described as a recession-proof product, and while AMBEV's revenue growth slowed (to 6%) in 2008, it inched back (to 10%) in 2009 and sprang back (to 20%) in 2010.
Money needed for the expansion of production facilities in northern South America is expected to put some pressure on earnings per share in the short run, but will pay off relatively quickly. AMBEV will report fourth quarter and 2011 results on March 8, before the market opens.
ABV has been a very steady performer since early 2009, when it was trading at $7. The stock experienced four significant pullbacks in 2011, but each correction was shorter than the last (six weeks in January, five weeks in July, four weeks in September and four weeks again in November).
Near term, AMBEV is one of the corporate sponsors for Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Longer term, with Brazil in line for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, the country will use its experience in keeping the events running smoothly to take the world stage in sports. And AMBEV will be waiting to offer every visitor a nice, cold beer. Boasting a 2.8% dividend yield, ABV is nicely positioned. We rate the stock a "buy."

ECE Graduate Seminar Lecture
Science / Technology - Lecture/Discussion - WPI Only
Thursday, April 17, 2014
Atwater Kent Laboratories
Cognitive Radio: Beyond Dynamic Spectrum Access
Electromagnetic spectrum is a very valuable resource. Thus the current focus of work on cognitive radio technologies on Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) is clearly well justified. However, as envisioned in the original conceptualization of cognitive radio, other communication objectives can be achieved by making radios smarter and more flexible.
In this talk various ways of achieving the flexibility of radios will be discussed, with emphasis on approaches based on declarative representations of radio knowledge in formal languages and (logical) inference-¬based processing. In particular, cognitive radio will be presented as an intelligent agent whose performance depends on other communication nodes and thus its performance optimization must be done collaboratively. This in turn requires flexible signaling that goes beyond the fixed communication protocols.

Lauren Powell Jobs listens to President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech January 24, 2012. Bloomberg
Immigrant entrepreneurs founded roughly a quarter of all U.S. businesses last year, but that number is falling. Enter Lauren Powell Jobs, widow of the late Steve Jobs, and the founder of TheDreamIsNow.org. She launched an online petition yesterday in support of the Dream Act and its aim to grant immigration papers to undocumented youth enrolled in school or the U.S. Military.
According to a report by Inc.:
The site features hundreds of young, American-educated undocumented immigrants explaining how citizenship would improve their lives. Eventually, Powell Jobs and Davis Guggenheim—a filmmaker who's also working on the project—plan to use these self-shot videos to compose a documentary about the need for immigration reform.
Nearly half of all Silicon Valley startups in 2012 and a quarter of U.S. businesses across the nation were founded by at least one immigrant entrepreneur, according to a report from the Kauffman Foundation last October, though in both cases the number is falling. At the time of the report Dane Stangler, director of Research and Policy at the Kauffman Foundation said, "For several years, anecdotal evidence has suggested that an unwelcoming immigration system and environment in the U.S. has created a 'reverse brain drain.' To maintain a dynamic economy, the U.S. needs to embrace immigrant entrepreneurs."
With President Obama recommitting to making it easier for immigrant innovators to thrive in the United State during his inauguration speech Monday, Powell Jobs has high-level support.

Building reuseable interfaces with Backbone.js
For the last few months I've been working on Projector, my first large scale Backbone project. I have to admit: I'm in love with Backbone.View. I'm able to create a view class, add in some business logic, effortlessly attach event handlers to elements within that view, and attach an instance of that view to an element on the page.
I wanted something like an iPad popover for the "Add Story" interface. After failing to find what I was looking for as a jQuery plugin, I figured I'd just write my own. But then I thought about what I was about to do: Define a new function that would take an element, setup some click handlers, position the popover where I need it, and show or hide the popover. The same foundational work I'm doing all the time in my Backbone views! I also knew that this wouldn't be the only place in the app that I'd want a popover.
Going the Backbone.View route would make manually managing my popovers after they were created a lot easier. jQuery plugins typically have you call the function you need modified again against your elements, and supply a string argument signifying what you want changed. For instance, if I wanted to disable a jQuery Draggable element after creating it, I'd need to call: $( ".selector" ).draggable( "option", "disabled", true ). I'd much prefer just calling disable() on a draggable's view instance.
Defining the base class
The base class had to do the following:
- Initialize with a reference element (where to position the popover)
- Render a wrapping element that creates the floating element and the arrow pointing to the reference element
- Render the template of inherited view inside the wrapping element
- Respond to toggle(), show() and hide()
- Directly position the popover and the arrow under the reference element
Backbone views are initialized with a JSON object that usually contains an element to attach to (el) and a model instance. The popover doesn't care about either of these. It creates an element for you and doesn't depend on any model. Your inherited classes, however, might want a model reference.
The popover's initialize function remembers the reference element that was supplied and calls an internal _render() function, which renders the wrapping element and then calls render(), which the subclass should define. The internal render method sets this.content to be the content area of the view's element - I don't want subclasses to touch the wrapping elements.
Using it
To use the popover, a parent view instantiates the popover during its initialization, and then calls toggle() whenever the click event on the reference element is fired.

Bromley Workshop
Project work in development. Gianna takes a trip back to see her family with some disposable cameras.
"From the periphery of the world to that of the town. Coming from a small town on a small island that smells like Mediterranean scrub and always looks full coloured in bright summerish yellow and clear blue , London struck me for its harshness. Streets are grey, houses are brownish of bricks and bricks, millions of thousands, all the same. One shade of grey, like a fog, makes everything look alike. The buildings on stormy sky. There is no smell, most of the time, just the solid coldness of the air. The feeling of being small into something immense rises both from the enormity and fullness of the city buildings and from the emptiness of the countryside. There comes the sensation of being unable to live in a place where there is no middle ground. Two are the places where I can find the welcoming London I learnt to love. One is by the water, the river and the canal, their natural unmissable flow. The other favorite place are Marshes. That is the place to go to smell, hear and watch. From time to time a train cuts the fields: there is the rustle of the leaves, the unmistakable roar of the engine, and then the leaves again, but still the nature preserves its rhythm." Gianna Mula.

Website claimed VA governor Bob McDonnell was stepping down

Will he or won't he?
It was a question many asked about Governor Bob McDonnell Saturday night after the website: bearingdrift.com claimed the Republican would be stepping down as part of a plea agreement.
McDonnell's spokesperson tells WDBJ7 it's not true, and the rumors are just that -rumors.
In recent months, the governor has come underfire for reports he and his wife took gifts from wealthy donors without reporting them- leading to questions of bribery.

A west suburban man was ordered held on a $250,000 bond for allegedly sexually assaulting a female acquaintance last year.
Wilfredo Freddy Caban, 48, of Montgomery, was charged Feb. 21 with two felony counts of criminal sexual assault, a statement from Kendall County Sheriff's office said.
On Aug. 18, 2013, a 36-year-old Montgomery woman reported to police that she was sexually assaulted overnight in the 50 block of Amesbury Road in unincorporated Montgomery, the sheriff's office said.
An arrest warrant carrying a $250,000 bond was issued Feb. 21 for Caban, sheriff's deputy Bryan Harl said.
Police arrested Caban on Friday without incident while he was at work in the 2700 block of U.S. 34 in west suburban Oswego, the statement said.
Caban remained in the Kendall County Corrections Center as of Monday afternoon.

Tattoo Goo X-Pressions Medicated Swabs Extra Strength Piercing Aftercare - 24 Pack
Just snap, let flow and apply! The easy way, with no touch no mess and no over application with new Xpressions Swabs. Now available from Tattoo Goo Brands X-pressions Extra Strength Piercing Aftercare is now available in a new ready to use format. The same dermatologist tested formula can be applied directly to any area needing medication by simply snapping the lined end of the swab and allowing the product to flow gently down the reservoir tube. The product is now ready for gentle application to the skin surface. This new format along with the familiar ready to use spray will give consumers as well as studios more choices when it comes to after care.
Piercing AftercareA piercing, much like a tattoo, is one of the most dynamic symbols of self expression. It's important to follow the directions of your professional piercer closely to ensure the safest possible healing process. After all, a safe and efficient heal will ensure the long life of your piercing. You were pierced in a modern studio with new and sterilized equipment. After the process, the piercer may have given you a small packet with piercing after care directions. Quality parlor operators worldwide have helped us compile these simple instructions for safe healing. However, we urge you to consult your own professional body piercer for any special instructions related to your specific piercing.
Bleeding may be present in the first few hours after getting the piercing. This is normal. If bleeding continues up to 48 hours after, be sure to consult your piercing professional.
New piercings should be cleaned 2-3 times per day. You are exposed to many germs and bacteria throughout the day that may cause infections. Be sure to wash your hands each time before handling your piercing. Healing time varies depending on the piercing. Ask your piercer how long you will need to continue the cleaning regiment.
X-pression Piercing spray has a high level of antibacterial and antimicrobial abilities. The product should be used sparingly since it only takes a small amount to kill germs. Spray ONCE to pierced area two times per day. While showering, using Tattoo Goo Tattoo & Piercing Soap, allow soap suds to run over piercing.
During the first few weeks of healing, you may see a small build up around the jewelry. This is normal, and your body excretes a small amount of puss during the healing process. To remove it, use a moist q-tip, with Tattoo Goo Soap, to work of any build up on your jewelry.
If you decide to use a salt water rinse also during the healing process, consult your piercing professional for proper instructions. Wait approximately 3 hours after salt water rinse before applying X-pression piercing spray.
If in the event you experience a reaction to X-pression Piercing spray, discontinue use and consult your piercer for further instruction and healing options.

It looks like someone is finally threatening Toyota's hybrid mileage supremacy. Well, that is, unless you count the Honda Insight...which no one seems to.
VW has gone ahead and buy chinese herbal viagra approved its Jetta diesel hybrid concept, hoping to turn the car into a legitimate Prius competitor. The car will likely be roomier and zippier than the Prius, both advantages coming from its use of viagra without priscription diesel instead of gasoline.
Diesel, which contains more energy per gallon and also produces less CO2, can improve mileage significantly on its own. Adding a hybrid component to the find cheap viagra online car really moves up mileage numbers. Unfortunately, diesels require advanced and expensive engines to levitra cheap canada keep pollutant emissions low. VW already charges $2,000 extra for its diesel models. Add onto that the cost of regenerative braking and a hybrid drive train and suddenly this car is looking out of range.
While the Prius manages to come in at a reasonable $25,000, it's likely that the Golf TDI is going to break $30k while being the sort of car people are used to paying a lot less for. Of course, there are no real numbers on price yet, but AutoBlogGreen has speculated that this high price is going to keep the cars confined to Europe, where emissions standards are higher and people are used to paying for diesels, at least for the www.roli-guggers.de first few years of the TDI hybrid's life.

Diesel, which contains more energy per gallon and also produces less CO2,
Diesel contains more Carbon atoms per gallon and therefore puts more CO2 into the buying viagra without prescription atmosphere per gallon than gasoline.

VW diesel-hybrid:
(15000 miles/year)/(69 mpg)= 220 gal of cananda viagra diesel/year
(220 gal.year)x(3.25/gal.) = $715.00 /year
Toyota Prius:
(15000 miles/year)/(45 mpg)= 340 gal of gas/year
(340 gal.year)x(3.25/gal.) = $1105.00 /year
The above assumes gas and diesel to be roughly the same price. There will clearly be a savings improvement over the already good numbers of the Prius, therefore softening the added hit to the checkbook you will take when you sign on the dotted line. VW will also have bragging rights as the new green kid on the block with the highest fuel economy. I would encourage VW to bring this vehicle to the U.S. and just give it a try...What would it hurt? What's the worst that could happen? Yes, it could fail, (remember the Phaeton?), but I doubt it. I think this car best fits people who are willing to keep their "investment" for the long term--essentially until the wheels fall off. For the 3 year and 5 year traders out there, a car like this probably isn't so much for you.
Just some thoughts.

Another note on these VW diesels they have a catalytic converter like thing on them now that, along with the ultra-low sulfur diesel in all US pumps will make these baby's a lot cleaner than your 83 diesel Rabbit.

Wrong in assuming diesel and gas cost the same. Regular gas was $3.31 in upstate NY this morning, and diesel was $4.13. That just about wipes out any MPG advantage.
Of course, part of that price premium is buy ultram online cheap because the no prescription saturday delivered tramadol refining capacity for diesel is cialis online sales lower here than in Europe. If the refiners kicked it up a notch, things might even out a bit. Still though, I don't see this VW as a viable option, except for those who have a pathological aversion to driving a pruis.

I read that VW was coming out with a 3 cylinder "POLO" ( I think that was its name) which was like a Golf but just more efficient.
the VW polo is a much smaller car than the golf. not as small as a Smart ForTwo, but quite small. Hence the better mileage
written by chris, March 17, 2008
Also, with a diesel engine you have the option of using waste oil which is free if you can connect with local food retailers.
It is time for toyota to take it to the next level, because they will be challenged, and i'm tired of looking at the prius.
written by Mike, July 11, 2008
Even old-school VW diesels get better mileage hands-down than a Prius: that is not debatable. But the VWs do not have hundreds of canadian viagra costs pounds of batteries that have criss-crossed the globe going from China to Germany to order cialis cialis the US in the process of being made.
I'll take a bio-diesel fueled TDI any day, and the environment will thank me for it.

Cheaper than a TDI hybrid and as good of MPG without the complex emissions controls for diesels.

A warning for parents. There are dangerous baby products that can cause injuries... Even death and some of them are still on store shelves. Bring home a new baby and you bring home a house full of new equipment, products parents presume are safe to use."One of the most serious challenges there are products that may appear to give parents a false sense of security."David Butler is Deputy Director for Consumers Union in Washington D.C. The Consumers Union says products are designed and sold, and only after being used by children do some safety problems surface. "That's always the challenge is making sure that those products are the very safest that they can be and when necessary trying to get these dangerous products off the store shelves but it is a very complex process that can take a while," Butler explains. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, is in charge of tracking injuries and working with manufacturers to redesign products and sometimes issue a recall. At the CPSC's lab, products are tested for safety and dangerous designs discovered.
1. Drop side cribs: More than 11 million have been recalled & 32 babies have died"It was specifically the drop side detached hazard and what happens the baby can get caught, feet first... get caught at the head and neck area and strangle," explains CPSC spokesperson Nikki Fleming.2. Beware of soft bedding: There have been at least 12 deaths
The CPSC says nearly half of all crib deaths are from suffocation. It warns never put pillows, quilts, cushions or even bumpers in the baby's crib. Sleep positioners can also be problematic and the CPSC says don't use them. "Never want to use a sleep positioner, baby can turn to their side, get caught at the head area on the bolster and suffocate," Fleming explains.3. Baby sling carriers: At least 14 deaths have been reported"The commission is concerned about babies suffocating with the fabric against the nose and mouth or when the baby is in a curved position and gets caught chin to chest and can no longer breathe." You can use slings safely, though. "Consumers should always make sure baby's head is exposed when using the sling carrier."
4. Bumbo seats were recalled & 21 skull fractures were reported
The seats were recalled for a fix after babies fell out of seats placed on elevated surfaces. CPSC Spokeswoman Nikki Fleming, "You want to get the restraint strap and add it to your bumbo seat. A safer place is to always use the bumbo seat on the floor."5. Baby bath seats
The seats seem like they would make bath time easier, but they are another problem. The seat can tip over and the baby can slip through the leg opening and drown.
6. Baby walkers
Walkers have been dangerous because of stairs. Fleming says, "Stairs and falls are the number one injury there, they fall off. Extremely dangerous and can be deadly."
The newer style of baby walkers have an anti-skid device that it stops at the top of stairs."When you're setting up a house for a baby it's overwhelming the number of products being marketed to you and the essential things that you really do need.' David Butler says. "That's why it's so important to do your homework to find out what you really need and what is considered safe."Find out what consumers are complaining about when it comes to all kinds of products before you go shopping. Check the government website Saferproducts.gov, it includes potentially dangerous products and products that have already been recalled.

Maryse Conde
Adult Fiction CONDE
Summary: The critically acclaimed, award-winning author of the classic historical novel Segu, Maryse Condé has pieced together the life of her maternal grandmother to create a moving and profound novel. Maryse Condé's personal journey of discovery and revelation becomes ours as we learn of Victoire, her white-skinned mestiza grandmother who worked as a cook for the Walbergs, a family of white Creoles, in the French Antilles. Using her formidable skills as a storyteller, Condé describes her grandmother as having "Australian whiteness for the color of her skin...She jarred with my world of women in Italian straw bonnets and men necktied in three-piece linen suits, all of them a very black shade of black. She appeared to me doubly strange." Victoire was spurred by Condé's desire to learn of her family history, resolving to begin her quest by researching the life of her grandmother. While uncovering the circumstances of Victoire's unique life story, Condé also comes to grips with a haunting question: How could her own mother, a black militant, have been raised in the Walberg's home, a household of whites? Creating a work that takes readers into a time and place populated with unforgettable characters that inspire and amaze, Condé's blending of memoir and imagination, detective work and storytelling artistry, is a literary gem that readers won't soon forget.

Birmingham, Alabama
Built 1947 • Operational • Tribute livery
This car's exterior commemorates Birmingham, Alabama, which operated PCC streetcars from 1947 to 1953.
Rick Laubscher photo.
When streetcars were a new technology, around the turn of the 20th Century, it was common for systems to be owned by the local electric utility. Electric utilities usually had the financial capacity to handle the capital outlay involved with building streetcar lines and, of course, could supply electricity to run the car at its cost, increasing the profit of the transit lines.
So it was in Birmingham, one of only two southern cities (with Dallas) to operate the streamlined PCC car. Birmingham Electric Company (BEC) was a member of the industry group that created the PCC in the 1930s, but chose to rebuild some of its existing cars rather than buy PCCs right away. At the end of World War II BEC's streetcar fleet was made up of 27 different types of streetcars, some dating back to 1901, and almost all worn out by heavy wartime ridership.
The company ordered 48 new Pullman-Standard PCCs, which arrived in 1947. They were used on the lines that served steel mills, which generated heavy loads at shift change times especially. Streetcar lines with lighter patronage were slated for conversion to trolley buses or motor coaches. To take advantage of the PCCs' higher speeds, BEC ran them as expresses during rush hours on the inner end of some routes, complementing them with buses for local service on that part of the route.
Like other transit properties in the South of that era, Birmingham's PCCs were segregated. Signs separating blacks and whites were mounted on seat backs. In December 1955, just 90 miles from Birmingham in the state capital of Montgomery, Rosa Parks famously initiated the beginning of the end of transit segregation by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. By then, however, Birmingham's PCCs were in Toronto. A new owner, who didn't have the incentive an electric company did to operate electric-powered transit, junked the streetcar system in 1953 and sold all the PCCs.

Stump for Santo
Like many others, this blog has a tremendous appreciation for Ron Santo. Rob, for example, believes he should be the only guy to sing the 7th inning stretch, as he is the ultimate Cub fan and perhaps the most beloved living member of of the Cub family. I think we're still trying to figure out the best way to make clear to WGN that Santo should be the man, but in the meantime something a little more urgent has come up.
In the near future, the Veteran's Committee will be voting again to theoretically induct new - and overlooked - members into the Hall of Fame. So far, since the V.C. changed after Ted Williams went ice, they haven't voted in anybody as it turns out that many of the living Hall of Famers feel that their society loses value whenever a new member is added to their ranks. In other words, those epic douchebags don't want to vote for Ron Santo because like your redneck cousin at the high society wedding, having him at the party will apparently bring things to a screeching halt.
However, Ronnie is deserving. He came within 5 votes 2 years ago, and maybe this year he will finally cross the threshold. Or, maybe he'll be hosed again. I wish there was a way to actively stump for him, but short of stalking the card conventions and harranging the Hall of Famers, there's little we can do but hope.
This Old Cub
I'm debating whether or not to watch This Old Cub tonight to give some superstituous moral support to Ron's candidacy. That said, I'm not sure that it wouldn't jinx it in the wrong direction, considering how the election came out in the movie...
