In association with
Michael Rutter scored two fifths at Thruxton
By Michael Rutter -
British Superbikes

The Worx Suzuki I rode at Thruxton was brilliant. Two fifth places was okay but I just wish I could have done better.
Everyone in the team was happy with the results but I should have exploited the traction control system more early in the races and pushed a little harder when the tyres were good.
Once the initial grip went and the traction was working, the bike was fantastic. So much feel. But early on I just wasn't quite sure how hard to push. The one thing I didn't want to do was sling it up the road.
Thruxton was a one-race deal with the Worx Suzuki team and I've no idea if I've done enough to secure the ride long-term.
I'd love to ride it more but I didn't have a chance to discuss anything with Jack (Valentine – team boss) although I understand they are making a decision this Friday.
I had a quick debrief with the team and then had to make a dash in my motorhome to Heysham for the ferry to the Island.
My TT bike was to have been delivered to Thruxton on raceday but there were some last minute jobs to do so Jason Jones, my mechanic went down to Verwood to pick it up.
We're hoping he'll catch a ferry from Liverpool in time for me to do Monday night practice. If not, I'm not going to stress about it. There's always Tuesday.
The TT plan is going well. Jason's been picking up all the last minutes bits, we've even been to Halfords to buy bits and pieces. I've had to borrow a tool box and now I'm trying to borrow an awning.
I've got the Bathams Brewery van to get all the bike stuff over to the Island. My dad (Tony) will be around – I'm putting him in charge of testing, testing the beer that is!
I'm still enjoy it all. I've been around the racing paddocks since I was born and how we've been this week is how it has always been, like when I was helping my dad. It's how it should be.
Stuart Easton has agreed to help me with the spanners. I've got someone to change my visors and have still to sort out someone with the fuelling, but I'll worry about that when I get over there.

Frank has to deliver some life altering news to Gerard....
Franks POV
"It's ok." He croaks quietly.
"It's not okay Gerard! You're not Okay! I'm not okay! Nothing is Okay!"I rage, standing from my seat and throwing ym arms in air as the words spill out. He begins to tremble and his eyes well up. I compose myself and instantly feel like pure dirt, i'm still yelling at him. I'm still making him sad. I'm still messing with him even after what i've just done to him. I return to my seat and stare at him softly, until theres a shrill knock on the door. Interrupting any comfort between us.
"Hello Mr. Way, we need to run a few tests right now." The doctor pressured on, shoving me out of the way. "I'm sorry, but for now it's family only." The doctor gave me a stern glare as Donna and Mikey walked through the door. "Okay." I said, trying to avoid stressing Gerard out again and left him with a soft kiss, in a dark room, his fate ready to be delivered.
Donnas POV
"Can you feel this?" The Doctor asked my son again as she tightly squeezed his toes in between her thumb and forefinger. I hold my breath. Hoping it will be different from before. Gerard simply shakes his head. All of my hope sinking into the ground. "Mrs Way, can i talk to you in my office please?" The doctor says frowning at Gerards response. She smiles reassuringly at Gerard and i follow her into the hallways.
"Mrs Way, It seems that Gerard's body has sustained alot of damage internally. The tests we've just conducted leave us with one last option to help him, it's very complex but it could improve his quality of life considerably." She says softly.
"What is the last option? Anything we can do to help him is good." I say frantically. What does she mean? What's actually wrong with him?
"Surgery. We have to fit metal bars to support his spine, they will be aligned as though it is bone." She explains cautiously.
"If we don't take this option?"
"Mrs Way." She says taking my shaking hand. "Your Son is paralysed from the neck down, without this he will definitely never walk again."
My child. Paralysed. In a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He'll never be able to touch his boyfriend again. Comfort his little brother. Hug me or his father. What if this operation doesn't even work? And he goes through all this for nothing? His life quality is fading, along with everyone else known to him and God too. That family in there, with their new baby, smiling and laughing. How can they be doing that? When my world has just shattered in my hands.
Franks POV
"I'm proud of you. You're here for him and that's the best you can do right now." Dayle says patting my shoulder. He hasn't left me by myself since Gerard came in here. He is here every day without fail. It's nice really, knowing i have someone to believe in me and tell me they're proud. Something my Dad never did, anyways. "Frank?" Donna appears at the door, her face swollen and blotchy with red raw skin and still flowing tears leaving trails of week old mascara.
"Donna, what's wrong?" I feel my heart beat wildly in my chest, he's gone and she's about to tell me isn't she? He's left us forever and nothing will get better.
"Can i talk to you outside for a minute?" She continues, her breathing shaky. I simply stand and follow her, bracing myself for the worst. " He needs surgery and now." She announces. I breath a sickening sigh of relief, he needs surgery but he's alive still. He's still around and so am i. " He's paralysed Frank." She begins to sob. " And they're going to put metal rods in his spine, they say it might work and make him better." She falls to the floor, her sobs growing louder by the millisecond. I crouch beside her and she puts her arms around my waist, both of us intent on crying ourselves blind.
The Next Day
Franks POV
"Hey Gee." I say as i stand beside him.
"Hey Frankie, so surgery tomorrow." He drops in casually. One of the things i love the most. It could be mass news and he'll drop it in as though he's just popping outside for a cigarette.
"Yeah, you nervous?" I ask him.
"Yeah, but i'll be tap dancing in no time." He laughs. " And i know i'll be okay if you're here when i wake up." He smiles up at me taking my hand and playing with my fingers.
"And right here is where i will be." I say kissing him softly and sitting down in my usual place. Forever.I silently add.

I've smoked out of a few hookahs in my time and I can tell you their precarious at best. Why so? Burning hot charcoal sits perched on a tall and some what top heavy apparatus. One tug of the tub and it will all come toppling down, water spillage probably included.
So that's what makes the Hookah computer case mod both practical and cool. Everything, including the water is securely encased and the charcoal tray slides in and out for easy storage.
Interested? You can build one yourself. Just follow the read link to the instructions.

This Monday the team that won the 2011 World MotoGP Championship was presented to the international press in Sepang. After the winter break the Repsol Honda Team riders, Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner, have recharged their batteries and are eager to get back to business before the new season starts.
Sepang was the setting for the first presentation of the Repsol team in 2012. Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner were accompanied on the stage by Shuhei Nakamoto (Deputy CEO of HRC), Hideki Iwano (Director and Assistant to HRC`s CEO), Shinichi Kokubu (Technical Director) y Livio Suppo (Director of Communication and Marketing). The other star at the act was the new Honda RC213V, with the Number 1 emblazoned on its fairing, something that identifies Casey Stoner as the reigning World Champion.
The Repsol Honda Team arrived in Malaysia on Saturday and was back at the circuit of Sepang for the first time since the death of Marco Simoncelli on 23rd October in a tragic accident. As a measure of respect the whole team visited the place where the Italian rider lost his life to leave some flowers and hold a minute`s silence.
MotoGP returns to bikes with a displacement of 1 000cc this season and the Repsol Honda Team will go all out to retain the world title. Moreover, this season the two riders will tell us all the details of their battles to win the title on their blogs at repsol.com.
Dani Pedrosa
"It is nice to get back together with the team for this first test in Sepang. I can`t wait to get back on the bike after the tests we had in Valencia in November. Sepang is a good circuit for testing and we still have a lot of things to discover on the new bike. We have not ridden for a long time and the first test is always important to pick up the pace again, to regain the sensations of riding fast. We have three long days of testing ahead of us with the team and HRC, and we will have to really concentrate if we are to get valuable information that will let us make progress in this the second test session. Our main objective will be to get to know the bike and the new Bridgestone tyres better".
Casey Stoner
"The winter break was really good for us. I went back to Australia to be with my family and friends over Christmas and me and my wife had a great time. Then we went to Switzerland to get everything ready for the birth of our first child. Adriana will give birth in a couple of week´s time, so now we have everything ready. After our great season in 2011 I am still concentrated but I do not expect to be in tip-top form right from the off. I am sure that Honda has done some good work on the new 1 000cc bike this winter and I am dying to ride it to see what we can do; I hope to start strongly once again. We know that there will be a lot of competition; Ducati has made a big effort, the same goes for Yamaha, so it will be very interesting to go out on the track to see where we are in relation to each other. But it is very early and we will have to wait until the first race in Qatar to find out the real level of our rivals in 2012, but we are ready for them".
Shuhei Nakamoto
"We will start the new 2012 season with a clear objective: to work harder than ever to defend the MotoGP titles in the new 1 000cc class. We have ended the era of the 800cc winning the Triple Crown and we want to do the same in 2012. We are very confident that our riders Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa can meet this ambitious challenge and we will once again put all our support, both technical and human, in their hands. The RC213V is an evolution of the RC212V, based on the same concept. The bikes we have brought to Sepang are basically the same as those we tested in Valencia, but with some small differences. Both Casey and Dani will have a bike similar to the ones they had in Valencia and another with a chassis that is a little different, which have been modified according to their wishes. Our engineers have done some great work to improve the bike this winter and together with our riders we will carry on making it better right up to the start of the season in Qatar. We are back at Sepang for the first time since we lost Marco Simoncelli in October and yesterday we visited the place where the accident happened to leave a bunch of flowers and say "farewell" to Marco. I think that the best tribute we can make is to start the season as strongly as possible".

My opinion about the Big Brother Canada Cast.
Just seven days before the Big Brother Canada premiere the cast of 15 was revealed and I'm very excited about this upcoming season! I'd like to tell you all aboot the houseguests. Yes I made that mistake on purpose. Let's start with Talla.
Talla is 26 years old, from Edmonton. My first impression of her, based off her picture, is she looks alot like Holly from The Glass House. I think she could be someone very disliked by the fans. She seems very outspoken and I'm sure she will be involved in a few fights. If I had to guess, I would say she would play a game somewhat like April from Big Brother 10, I think she'll start off with a couple girl friends, then possibly start a showmance and turn her back on her friends. In her bio she says she hates when people burp without saying excuse me, I can only imagine what that would be like if she was angry when it happened. I see her going out half way through jury.
Next up is Thomas. Thomas is from Edmonton also and is 24. When I think about the cast now, he is someone I have a hard time remembering. Based off of his bio and picture, nothing about him excites me. He says he has no strategy and is "just going to wing it" which should be interesting to see. He is a firefighter, which may help out in the endurance competitions. I think Thomas will either be in an alliance of 3-4 people or else in a showmance, possibly with Talla.
On to one of my favorites Jillian. Jillian is 27 and is from Nova Scotia. In my opinion, she is the most attractive houseguest of them all, which may hurt her. She could be very good at endurance competitions that have to do with hanging on to something due to her size. I see her in an alliance with a couple guys and her winning a lot of vetoes. Watch out for her, because she might just take it all.
Now onto Gary. He is 21 and from Toronto. Judging by his picture, I would say he is the token gay on this season. Gary will be very flamboyant and outgoing, which will probably end up hurting him. I think he will be like a Lawon and sink his own ship. I know for sure, I will not be rooting for Gary. I picture him going out pre-jury maybe week 3.
Then to Andrew. He is 38 years old and from Halifax. In his bio he says that he plans on telling the girls he is younger so they will flirt with him. To me, this guy is crazy. I will not be rooting for him, I think he will play like Joe and be very loud, but also make it pretty far, maybe 4th or 5th juror.
Another houseguest who I am a little weary about is Kat. She is 27 and also from Toronto. I don't get much off of her from her bio. All I can tell is that she likes to talk. If I had to guess, I would say she'll play like JoJo, but also be evicted very early.
Someone who I think will play a very quite game is Emmett. He is 24 and from Nova Scotia. I think he will try to be in a showmance, but the ladies won't go for him. Again, I don't get much of a read of him, and he may be an early boot.
This cast is very young, but one of the older houseguests is AJ. He's 32 and from Ontario. I think that he could be one of the core members of the male alliance, and maybe even start it, he seems like he has a plan. I think he will make it to Jury, but won't win. He could become someone I root for.
Perhaps the most outspoken houseguest is Liza. She is 29 and also from Toronto. She says her strategy is to shut up and listen, but I think that'll be something very hard for her to do, I can't picture it. Her bio says that her father recently passed away, and I wouldn't be surprised if she used that to her advantage. I don't think she will be well liked by the public, I usually root for underdogs, and she may be one.
Next up is Emerald, or Topaz. I'll call her Emerald I like that name better. She is 27 and from Ontario. She says she doesn't know her strategy but she will either be super kind to everybody or be a complete bi*@h. (Her words, not mine) I really hope she brings our her feisty side, and starts a few wars, I don't think she will disappoint.
Then there is Aneal, this cast has very odd names, I haven't heard half of them before. Anyway, Aneal is 21 and from Ontario. He is one of the younger ones of the cast, I think he will be very quiet and stay out of fights. I think he's someone I will root for, but I want to see him come out of his shell!
And we have another Danielle on Big Brother, shocker! I don't think this girl has seen the show before being approached by Robyn Kass, she says she is an aspiring actress and hopes that the show helps her career blossom. Oh joy another actress! I think I could root for Danielle, she seems very sweet, but I don't think it will last. She may clash with Emerald or one of the other girls. I predict she is out before Jury, possibly the first out.
Suzette is another wild card. She is a mom of 3 from Vancouver. I don't know what type of kind of houseguest she will be, so it's very hard for me to asses her. If I has to guess, I would say she will be the first juror.
Another one of my favorites is Peter. He is 26 and from British Colombia. At first I though Peter would play like Ian, but then after watching some of his YouTube videos I changed my mind. Peter is hilarious, I love him, I can't wait to see what he will be like inside the house, I am sure he has it all planned out. On the flip side, as he says, he is a mean person. I expect to see him start some drama between the girls. I think we will see him in the final 3.
Last, but not least is Alec. Alec is also 26 and from BC. He says his favorite player is Dr. Will. I will be very surprised if we do not see a Dr. Will or Dan – esque game from him. Alec knows what he is doing and knows what he needs to do to win. I predict Alec is the winner of Big Brother Canada.
So, with all that being said, I'm positive we will have a GREAT season of Big Brother with Big Brother Canada, and I cannot wait to watch!! Make sure to comment or tweet me @jeremywoodsbb your comments!

SANTA CRUZ -- Two experts in the controversial practice of buying credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions will address seawater desalination skeptics in Santa Cruz, where two water agencies have pledged to design their water supply project as net-carbon neutral.
Barbara Haya, a research fellow specializing in climate change at Stanford Environmental Law Clinic, will join Kathleen McAfee, associate professor of international relations at San Francisco State in an Aug. 15 presentation to Santa Cruz Desal Alternatives. The pair will discuss concerns about whether offset credits actually lead to a reduction in emissions.
"What it does is shifts damage from one place to another," McAfee said.
In a critical environmental report released in May, the city of Santa Cruz and Soquel Creek Water District reported the energy required to operate the proposed desal plant will be seven to 12 times higher than what's required to produce drinking water from surface and groundwater sources.
The agencies have proposed maximizing energy efficiency within the facility's operations and will consider other improvements within the system, including additional conservation and fixes at the wastewater treatment plant.
But the agencies have also suggested buying certified offsets elsewhere as a way to further reduce the impact of the facility's energy consumption. It is one of the more controversial aspects of the plant, which would be capable of producing up to 2.5 million gallons of drinking water each day to safeguard the city against drought and restore the district's groundwater basin.
The public has until Aug. 12 to submit comments on the environmental report.
McAfee said she has no position on the plant but is alarmed when projects rely on offset credits -- such as investing in wind farms, solar power or waste-to-energy measures -- amid a state mandate for municipalities to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020.
"It's a big distraction from the only thing that will work, and that is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the source," McAfee said.
The City Council and district board will ultimately decide what menu of offsets to pursue, but district engineer Melanie Schumacher, public outreach coordinator for the project, said any offset credits will be well tracked.
"The mitigation and monitoring plan will have to count and annually true-up the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the purchased power from PG&E to make sure that the result is net-carbon neutral," she wrote in an email. "As PG&E becomes more green, the greenhouse gas reductions for the city and district will be less."

A new year brings opportunities and challenges. For many parents, getting their children to eat healthier will be a top priority, but getting kids to eat more asparagus and broccoli can be a bit daunting.
When my boys were little, I became trapped in the routine of preparing the same basic meals week after week. It was boring for me and not very good for my sons. I knew that they needed to be open-minded to try new things and certainly needed to expand their menus from green beans and potatoes.
Somewhere along the way, I read in an article that many people develop a taste for a particular food if they eat it 7-10 times in a row. I am sorry that I cannot remember where I read this or if it was truly scientific; however, I devised a little plan that proved to be successful in my home, and I hope that it works for you.
When my sons were in kindergarten, they learned the alphabet through a program called "letter of the week." Each week the letter was a "celebrity": Everything in the classroom, from crafts to food, was centered on the chosen letter. This gave me the idea of "vegetable of the week," and I began with the letter "A."
It was so much fun. Our first "A" vegetable was asparagus. I roasted it very simply with olive oil and kosher salt. Each night, everyone at the table had to take one bite. Regardless of the entree, asparagus was a regular for one week. I did not make a huge deal out of it; instead, it was a game. I added a cream sauce one night and Parmesan cheese another night. One son was more hesitant than the other, but eventually they seemed to like asparagus. After that, I was off to brussel sprouts.
I tried the same procedure, and it worked!!
There were definitely some vegetables that were bigger hits than others, but the concept of a small bite each night worked for me. Of course, I was very proud of them. Each night I encouraged them to expand their horizons and eat like an adult. When their friends made comments like "yuck," my youngest son smiled with pride about his new and sophisticated palate.
I have a very healthy friend who purees vegetables and adds them to almost every dish that she prepares for her toddler. This is a very good idea for incorporating vegetables and definitely helps if your child does not like certain textures.
My most important advice is to introduce a varied diet to your children when they are young, whether you use my "vegetable of the week" game or create one of your own. Practicing and encouraging healthy activities at an early age is a vital part of child rearing.
Roasted Asparagus
1 Bunch of fresh asparagus
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash asparagus and trim off the ends. Place on a baking sheet and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt. Roast in oven for about 10 minutes. If using cheese, remove from oven and sprinkle the cheese. Return to oven and melt cheese.
This is also the perfect way to roast most vegetables.
Wishing you and yours a very happy and healthy 2013.
As always, thanks for reading.
Properly yours,
@ Melanie. Hello Melanie!! I do check these comments and was so pleased to see yours. I am glad that you enjoyed the Mac and Cheese hints. I hope that your recipe wins. Fingers crossed!!!! Thanks for your comment. Cindy
By Cindy Edwards on January 25, 2013
Hi Cindy, I just wanted to take a moment and comment on the Mac and Cheese hint you gave me. I even used Parmesan cheese! It was amazing! I am making it this weekend and it should beat my sisters recipe this time! I also love this asparagus recipe I am going to try it tonight! Thanks again! I am not sure if you read all these comments but I loved speaking with you! And will be following your blog from now on!
By Melanie on January 24, 2013
Great article. I look forward to your blogs. Keep them coming L. Lanier
By L. Lanier on January 19, 2013
What a great idea Cindy! My son is 22 months and a VERY picky eater. We can't wait to give the veggie game a try. And it's not only healthy for my son - my husband and I can improve on our veggie eating as well!
By Winslet on January 15, 2013
Great idea! Too many parents do not offer any healthy eating habits or food to their children. It's way to easy to go through the drive-through. What a shame! Thank you for offering simple ideas to help children become healthier.
By Sandra on January 11, 2013
What a great idea! I have a 4-month-old grandson, and I will surely suggest this game to his mother. When I was growing up, I had NO say about whether or not I liked a food. I simply ate whatever Mama served! I know that times have changed, but that discipline worked for me because I like all foods. My best childhood friend says that she eats liver ONLY because we had that for Saturday lunch often and she was usually there:)

Very creative way to introduce children to vegetables.
By Linda Parton on January 09, 2013
Getting children to eat healthy foods can be fun!!! A discussion of the benefits of eating nutritiously motivates children to eat a variety of foods. Eating healthy does begin at a young age. I will definitely forward this post to my children.
By Ann on January 08, 2013
What a great idea. Wish I had known this when my sons were growing up, but I am sharing with my daughters-in-law.
By Glenda D Edwards on January 08, 2013
Loved your blog and you are so right as always. Although it can be challenging at times, introducing children to a variety of healthy foods is a critical step in their growth. Great ideas on making dinner time fun! I was not as creative as you when my girls were young but we made nutrition a priority and they are wonderful teenage eaters today. Keep up the great posts!!!
By Anonymous on January 07, 2013
Brilliant! I wish we have had this conversation 20 years ago. Love this idea and will pass this post on to my sister-in-law. She will find it very helpful with her 9 year old and 7 year old. Love this post!
By Donna on January 07, 2013
Brilliant! I wish we had this conversation 20 years ago. Many young families will truly benefit from this idea. I'm passing this post on to my sister-in-law. Love this post!
By Donna on January 07, 2013
Fantastic!!!! A most needed topic. Children today need to be introduced to foods that are healthy and delicious. Most foods that children do not like have never been tried. Your suggestions are so good. Thank you for your insights and experience shared. Carolyn
By Carolyn Nowell on January 07, 2013
Well done! What a creative way to introduce hesitant children to vegetables! I will definitely try this at my house! Once again, you have outdone yourself with your blog! Keep up the excellent work. I always look forward to reading your wonderfully helpful articles! Kudos!!!
By Marci on January 07, 2013
Paula, I love watching you and your family. I miss seeing your show, I watched you everyday. My son lives in Charleston S.C. He took me to the Lady & Sons to eat. Oh my goodness! People are always telling me that I look just like the cooking lady Paula Deen. I always tell them that you are my hero. May God Bless You

Add a few spoonfuls of parmesan cheese to the flour and cornmeal breading and it kicks the tomatoes up another notch. Bev

I just bought Paula's Peach Salad Dressing and wondered if anyone has a good recipe that they use it in?

2013 Chevrolet Spark review
A stripper by any other name — this is the most basic of basic transports.
- Low price
- Good room for size
- Well equipped for price
- Loud
- Slow
- Too basic in almost every way
Chevrolet's small-car history isn't one the automaker would like you to remember, nor should you. It includes a laundry list of vehicles only a mother could love: the Chevette, Aveo, Metro and Cavalier, all poorly built and ill-conceived models best forgotten.
However, Chevrolet has turned over a new leaf in the small-car arena over the past few years. Its Cruze is refined and efficient, and the Sonic is sharply styled and nimble, with generous interior space and ample feature content. Bottom line: The Sonic feels more substantial than its modest price and dimensions would suggest.
For 2013, Chevy is adding a third small car to its lineup, the entry-level Spark. Starting at just over $12,000, the Spark is certainly affordable, and like the Sonic it offers some unexpected features for the price. Unfortunately, the Spark looks and drives like a rolling compromise, something you buy because you can't afford anything better. It's a truly basic vehicle at a bargain price that nobody will remember fondly.
Model lineup
The 2013 Chevrolet Spark is offered in LS, 1LT and 2LT trims, each with either manual or automatic transmission. The LS, which starts at $12,245, is fairly well equipped for such a cheap car. It comes standard with air conditioning, power windows, cloth upholstery, AM/FM radio, 10 airbags and 15-inch alloy wheels. The $13,745 1LT adds power locks, remote keyless entry, cruise control, satellite radio, a USB port, Bluetooth cellphone connectivity and the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system. The $15,045 2LT gets vinyl upholstery, heated front seats and fog lights. No options are offered, but the automatic transmission costs an additional $925.
Under the hood
The 2013 Chevrolet Spark comes with only one engine: a tiny 1.25-liter 4-cylinder that ekes out 84 horsepower and 83 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. Environmental Protection Agency fuel-economy ratings are 32 mpg city/38 mpg highway with the manual and 28 mpg city/37 mpg highway with the automatic.
Inner space
The Spark is basic. Really basic. Things like sound-deadening material, sculpted seats with numerous adjustments, a telescoping steering wheel, and soft-touch surfaces aren't found here. Hop inside and the first thing you notice is the tinny clanging sound the door makes when it closes. Next you note the hard-plastic dash. Neither attribute screams quality. However, Chevy embraces the use of plastic by giving it a molded design flourish and body color accents. Both add visual interest to an otherwise Spartan cabin.
The control layout on the base trim is quite simple, with the radio controls set high and three climate control dials placed low. That's it. Opt for an LT trim, though, and you get Chevy's innovative MyLink touch-screen radio. Developed with LG, this system offers the connectivity young buyers want but usually can't get in such an affordable car. A 7-inch touch screen on the dash links with your smartphone to provide access to apps, pictures and even movies. It also includes a USB port for music streaming. The available apps include Pandora and Stitcher Internet radio, and a new navigation app called BringGo. This app costs $50 and works with iPhones and Droids to provide full navigation functionality, including point-of-interest search.
In our limited exposure, the system was easy to use and responded quickly. Quite honestly, the MyLink radio is one of the best reasons to buy this car and is certainly a good reason to choose the LT trim.
The Spark makes good use of its limited space. It is small in every direction, so it's only wide enough to fit two passengers in the rear seat. A pair of big guys front or rear will feel like they are sitting in bleacher seats at a crowded baseball game. The flat seats offer about the same amount of support, too. While the car will fit four adults, rear legroom is tight if anyone front or rear is over six feet tall. On a more positive note, headroom is plentiful front and rear, and despite the limited rear-seat area the Spark is roomier than its competitors, some of which don't even offer a rear seat.
The Spark's upright styling gives it some useful cargo space, too, especially for the class. It has 11.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear seat, which is the size of a small trunk. The rear-seat bottoms fold forward and the backs fold down to create a flat load floor and 31.2 cubic feet of space. That's about half the room of a typical compact SUV, but it it's plenty of room for a trip to the grocery store, and considerably more room than the Fiat 500, smart fortwo, or Scion iQ.
On the road
The Spark is a simple car with a tiny engine and basic suspension components. The car's size makes it easy to park and weave in and out of traffic. But the suspension and engine aren't doing it any favors. It doesn't flop over through corners, but it also doesn't carve through turns with the impressive verve of the Sonic. The steering is light at low speeds, but it firms up nicely at highway speeds. The brakes, discs up front and old-school drums in the rear, worked well in our limited exposure, but they probably aren't robust enough for extended bouts of spirited driving.
The ride is generally good, but the Spark doesn't react to well to bumps and bruises in the road. With so little sound deadener, the driver can also hear the tires slapping the pavement and a drumming sound from the underbody on rough roads.
The engine will get the car from zero to 60 mph in about 10.5 seconds with the manual transmission and 11.5 with the automatic. That makes the Spark one of the slower cars on the street, but it has enough pep for city driving and it will get you up to speed quickly enough for highway merging. Just don't think passing will be easy.
Right for you?
For bargain hunters looking for the most basic of transportation, the Chevy Spark is a better value than the Scion iQ or smart fortwo. It also offers more useful room for four than those competitors. While the Fiat 500 costs more, it boasts a more engaging driving experience. Same goes for Chevy's own Sonic, which is a much better value for not much more money. Most buyers will be better off by choosing the Sonic, the 500 or opting for a used car than buying this rolling tin can.

Must-See on MSN
The writer is speaking of the Cavalier with limited knowledge and wrong conclusions. My family has owned 3 Cavaliers including a '94 Z24 that went 300,000 problem free miles with only brakes, tires, and two sets of spark plugs needed. I currently have a '92 RS wagon, and a '94 RS wagon. The 92 has 240,000 miles, and the 94 has 140,000 miles. Both have the original engines and transmissions. They have the 3.1 V6 and average an all-around 25 mpg. They also have very quick steering and great handling and can carry a large load. The 92 just had new shocks and struts at 225,000 miles. Would buy a new one in a heartbeat.
I own a 2012 Sonic 1LT Turbo sedan with auto. I really can relate to what they say in this article about the Sonic. I have not driven the Spark, but I also like it for looks. Love that yellow color they offer. For the price, I think the more basic Spark is good and much better than buying most used cars! Heck, you would pay the same price for a 3 year old Honda Fit with 50K! Why?
With that said, if you go with the higher priced Spark you might just as well go with the Sonic. Both are good, but the Sonic is much more car for the $15K to $19K.
My daughter bought a Cruz because of the milage. Liked the looks, sporty, but was disappointed with the 22 mpg she got. Took it back to the dealer several times and there remedy was let it go through the "break in" period. Never did top the 22 mpg. Traded it this year for a Malibue! Dealer said that she would get better then 22 mpg with the malibue. She is getting 18 now. Only thing is she NOW has more room,bigger car! I advised her not to Buy GM cause of the lies I went through. Its been 26 years since I bought a GM and am very happy with the Fords and Toyotas I have bought since! They last longer and the companies stand behind there products! My 2012 F-350 Diesel 4x4 gets 23 mpg and my 06 Tacoma has 230k and gets 26 mpg. Why cant GM make a product that gets what they promise?

Lawsuit filed over assaultTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | March 25,2013ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont propane delivery man who was nearly bludgeoned to death by a mentally ill man with a wrench has filed a lawsuit against his attacker and the mans family.
Mike Kuligoski, 52, was attacked in 2011 by 23-year-old Evan Rapoza while working on a furnace in a St. Johnsbury apartment building. Rapoza was initially charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault for clubbing Kuligoski with a wrench, choking him with a belt and plunging his head into a bucket of water in an unprovoked attack.
Charges were dropped after Rapoza was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and sent to a state mental health hospital.
Kuligoski filed a lawsuit late last month against Rapoza and his parents seeking money for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of consortium.
The suit alleges Rapozas parents, John and Christine Rapoza, knew their son was dangerous and failed to warn or protect Kuligoski when he arrived to work on the furnace at the apartment house owned by John Rapoza.
As the parents of Evan Rapoza, and knowing his character and propensities, John A. Rapoza and Christine M. Rapoza had a duty to take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals around Evan Rapoza were not thereby exposed to an unreasonable risk of harm, the complaint says.
The Rapozas attorney could not be reached for comment.
Kuligoski spent 15 months in rehabilitation after the attack before returning to his Danville home last May. His injuries are so extreme that hell never be able to work again and will require constant medical attention for the rest of his life, according to the lawsuit.MORE IN Vermont NewsFather speaks out Full StoryCharges added to Full StoryMan bitten by Full Story

INDIANAPOLIS | The Indiana Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether a civil lawsuit can proceed against a Lakes of the Four Seasons man accused in the fatal hit-and-run of a Lake County corrections officer while his criminal trial is pending.
Jason R. Cozmanoff faces a criminal trial in December on multiple felony charges relating to a March 6, 2012, incident on 93rd Avenue in Crown Point where he allegedly struck and killed Britney Meux, 25, and seriously injured three other corrections officers as they jogged along the side of the road.
A Lake County judge last July agreed to postpone discovery in a civil lawsuit filed against Cozmanoff by Meux's estate in order to preserve Cozmanoff's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
The Indiana Court of Appeals, in a 3-0 decision, overruled the lower court in May and declared that in the interest of justice the civil depositions, discovery and trial can move forward, even if Conzmanoff's criminal trial is unresolved.
The decision by the state's high court to review the appeals court's ruling may make the entire issue moot.
Barring an unexpected delay, Cozmanoff's criminal trial likely will be concluded before the Supreme Court hears arguments in the dispute over the timing of the civil lawsuit and issues its ruling, which regularly takes up to six months or more.

I previously wrote a review for this item. I'm sticknig with my statisfaction review of the product, but when I looked at the rug again on the site, the rug I was sent was totally different, The pattern is nothing like it appears online. I still love the rug anyway, just be aware it is not as shown. It has more of the typical inexpensive "oriental rug " pattern. I still love it though. This rug for the size would be at least $200-300 easy. Best of all it's super soft. You won't be dissappointed.
PURCHASED THIS FOR A DEN, OFF THE KITCHEN AREA, WHERE THE OLD DOG COMES IN FROM THE YARD AND SLEEPS HER DAY AWAY. i HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SPOT CLEAN A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS AND TRACKED IN MUD EASILY AND WITHOUT HAVING ANY BLEEDING OF THE COLOR. THIS WILL BE VERY SERVICEABLE IF IT CONTINUES TO PERFORM LIKE THE FIRST 3 MONTHS.
I have ordered a number of rugs from overstock, and am usually very pleased with the quality / value (we have pets, so I plan accordingly with rug purchases). I should have hesitated more when I saw the price of this product, notwithstanding the many 5 star reviews. Design weaving very poor, fiber density low quality, color tones leave something to be desired as well.
this was a great buy! might not be hand crafted, natural fber, but the price can't be beat. got 2 rugs for less than the price of 1 at lowes. shipping was also quick.
This rug is gorgeous! The colors are much richer than in the picture. It is very soft (my kids have been rolling around on it all night) and laid flat immediately after unrolling it. My husband came home and likes it so much he wants me to order a matching smaller size for our entry. I had looked around for rugs and couldn't find anything I liked at this size for under $300. This is a fantastic deal for a great looking rug!
Need a rug for my bedroom, and this one fit the spot and filled the bill.
This rug is cheap compared to other priced rugs on O, I didn't know what to expect. I liked the size for the money and when it arrived was I ever surprised! Love it! I put it in the guest room on dark hardwood floors and it looks great. Now my guest has something warm to put their feet on this winter. I am about to order my fourth rug from O. Have been very happy with them.
This rug, is just what I have been looking for the size is wonderful., lays out flat., I put it on wall to wall carpet., perfect.!!! I am using it with another oriental design rug., and that is working really well. Will hold up well., and keep the area cleaner., and brighter., actually makes the room look huge. Thanks, again Overstock., you always come through!! price, style., and selection. But., let me say again, I have the rug on wall to wall carpet., so a natural pad for it., so no problems., with slipping., or sliding., when rolled out., it smoothed right out. If used on hardwood., you might need to get a pad., for a better looking product., check it out!!!! Enjoy!!!!
I would recommend this particular rug to anyone. My daughters thought it was beautiful. It feels good to bare feet and looks good in our T.V. Room. I couldn't have bought this rug any place else,for the price I paid at Overstock.com.
I wanted a large, reddish colored rug for my living room. I didn't want burgandy as my curtains and a few other accents are more of a true red. I saw this rug online and took a chance. Lucky for me it ended up being much lighter than what is shown in the picture. I LOVE it! It's nice and big and feels very plush under my feet.

Early in the spring the variable winds and rains fall heavy on grass meadows,
Adding a spring in the turf, waking the mosses on stone walls and stone paths
Purple stems of woodspurge hang in the wet winds with its pale green flowers,
Ancient orchards left unattended have gnarled twisted trees with sour apples,
These grounds are bestrewed with the whitest of violets, a carpet of beauty.
But there are other flowers that have been out in colder, hard bitter weather
The humble daffodil has been plucked and strewed by children for generations,
A beautiful old English flower which belongs in village gardens and commons,
The old daffodil is one the hardiest flowers it grows anywhere and everywhere,
In box hedges, neglected arbours of alleys, hard rugged moorlands and glades.
Daffodils in desolation grow long after the planters hand has turned to dust,
Buried deep in disused graveyards, overgrown with nettles and thorny bushes
And dwellings around it have fallen to decay with passing of many hard years,
Even the other flowers that have grown nearby have been cleaned, swept away,
Outlasting memories that have perished along with families of old homesteads,

This graph illustrates the dates by which you see an average Xth named storm in the Atlantic Basin in an average year. For instance, by August 1, we've typically seen the season's second named storm.
We've had four named storms so far in the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. None of them managed to become hurricanes, all succumbing either to land, dry air or wind shear.
Last week, we had a significant intrusion of African dust, embedded in a so-called Saharan Air Layer (SAL), push westward into the Caribbean, helping to squelch any chances for tropical cyclone development in the Atlantic Basin.
(MORE: Tropical Update | Interactive Satellite)
Does this mean the hurricane season is underachieving?
Dorian Birth Point vs. Late July Average
Dorian Birth Point vs. Late July Average
The Heart of the Season is Ahead
As you can see in the graph at the top of this article, in an average Atlantic hurricane season, we typically see two named storms by early August. Simply going by numbers of named storms, we've roughly doubled the pace, so far.
Two of the four named storms so far, Chantal and Dorian, formed in the central and eastern "main development region" (MDR). The MDR is an east-west strip of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea from Africa to the Central American coast in which the majority of Atlantic hurricanes are born.
While not strengthening to hurricanes, the fact Chantal and Dorian managed to form at all well east of the Lesser Antilles in July is impressive.Typically in July, the aforementioned SAL intrusions, coupled with increased wind shear, render much of the eastern Atlantic Basin off-limits for tropical cyclone development.
According to Dr. Jeff Masters, Weather Underground director of meteorology (blog), Dorian was the second most easterly Atlantic Basin tropical storm so early in the season, in satellite-era records dating to 1966. The map above, at right, shows Dorian's formation point (as a depression) compared to the other July 21-31 origin points of named storms.
No Hurricane ...Yet
Again, none of the four named storms have managed to attain hurricane status. We're in early August now. How unusual is this wait to the season's first Atlantic hurricane?
Answer: It's typical.
|Named Storms / Hurricanes After July
|15 of 19 / 9 of 10
|15 of 19 / All 7
|17 of 19 / 11 of 12
The average date we see the first Atlantic hurricane is not until Aug. 10, according to the 1966-2009 average calculated by the National Hurricane Center.
Looking at the past three hurricane seasons (2010-2012), 27 of the 29 Atlantic hurricanes formed after July 31.
Only 2010's Hurricane Alex and 2012's strange Hurricane Chris jumped the climatological early August starting line.
The larger point here, is the lion's share of the Atlantic hurricane season lies ahead!
From 1981-2010, roughly 80 percent of all Atlantic Basin named storms formed in the three-month period from August through October.

Schnuck Markets Opens Its 93rd Store and 28th in Illinois
ST. LOUIS, MO - Schnuck Markets Inc. opened its 93rd food and drug store when it opened the Rockford Plaza Logli in Rockford, Ill., today. It is the 28th supermarket owned and operated by Schnucks in Illinois. The 82,000-square-foot food and drug store is located at 2642 Charles St. in the Rockford Plaza shopping center, at the northwest corner of Charles Street and Hunter Avenue. It is the fourth Logli Supermarket in the Rockford area.
Rockford Plaza Logli offers an extensive variety of high quality products at low prices and features a new European market store decor. Customers will find an extensive variety of products in all departments, including produce, meat, seafood, deli, bakery, dairy, frozen food, grocery, liquor, health and beauty, cosmetics, housewares, video and general merchandise. The store is open 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. About 300 full- and part-time associates staff the store.
Unique Store Format Highlights Fresh, High Quality Products
The store is the first new store design since Schnuck Markets acquired Logli supermarkets in March 1998. The decor features a European market decor in the fresh produce, meat, seafood, deli, deli/carryout, bakery and floral departments. These departments are arranged in an open area beneath a high exposed, painted structural ceiling that creates the open-market atmosphere. Produce will be displayed on attractive wooden tables and market carts. The large glass arch opening lets outside light into the market area for a pleasant shopping experience.
"The new design combines the best size, format and features of Logli and Schnucks stores so that we can offer Rockford-area customers the best shopping experience," said Craig D. Schnuck, chairman and chief executive officer of Schnuck Markets, Inc.
The store is smaller than the 143,000-square-foot Loves Park Logli and the 130,000-square-foot Logli on East State Street, but remains the third largest supermarket in the Rockford area. The Logli Supermarket at 3150 N. Rockton is 65,000 square feet.
The developer is Erickson & Associates of Rockford, Ill. The general contractor is Westra Construction of Waupon, Wis. The architect is Kuhlmann Design Group of St. Louis, Mo.
Logli Supermarkets is a division of Schnuck Markets. Schnuck Markets, Inc. currently operates 93 stores in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The family-owned company was founded in St. Louis in 1939.

Cars to Arrive In
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
Arguably there is no other car on earth that allows you to make this much of a statement. Built with an abundance of chrome, leather and wood, this car has more presence and opulence than anything else on the road, especially with the top down. The 453-horsepower V12 6.7-liter engine gives the Roller a lot more pace than you would expect from a car of this size and weight. If making a presence is worth the price tag in the region of $400,000, you may as well go for the optional brushed steel hood—you know you're worth it.
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster
This car is a muscle machine that also oozes European style. The Murcielago LP640 in yellow with the roof down will get you noticed—that much we guarantee. And if you don't get seen, you will certainly be heard as the 640-horsepower 6.5-liter V12 engine comes complete with banshee howl. Once you want to escape your admirers, simply find a long section of winding road where the permanent all-wheel drive, based on Lamborghini's VT (Viscous Traction) System, will ensure they won't be seeing you for a while.
Mercedes-Benz Concept Ocean Drive
The Ocean Drive Concept harks back to a bygone era of the grand tourer convertible. The four-seat convertible is classically styled with clearly defined lines accentuated by two-tone paint but balanced by large, smooth surfaces. Power comes from the 517-horsepower 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine delivering the power through a 5-speed automatic transmission. As the chairman of the Board of Management DaimlerChrysler and head of Mercedes Car Group, Dr. Dieter Zetsche said, this is a car to "dream of—a car that could make the Mercedes star dance with the stars."
Holden EFIJY
You can't beat this GM concept for pure front. This wild modern-day hot rod is a 21st Century rendition of Australia's most famous car, the FJ Holden, and was originally unveiled at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. EFIJY is a radical pillarless custom coupe built on a Chevrolet Corvette chassis and powered 6.0-liter V8. The Soprano Purple paintwork highlights its curvaceous body, reinterpreting the classic design cues of the iconic 1953 FJ Holden.
Not only will you be seen arriving in Ford's Airstream crossover concept, but you could hang out for a few days or hold a small party in it. The concept comes from a joint venture with the iconic trailer company that explores the way people might take road trips in the future. Its distinctive, sleek, silver bullet shape is pure Airstream, while the asymmetrical orange-bordered windows are typical of the current generation of Ford concepts. Behind the full-length and top-hinged door is a trailer-like, wraparound low-backed seat, and a floor-mounted cylindrical LCD screen showing a looping movie of flames, landscapes and abstract images.
This hunk of honest American muscle car puts a modern twist on a proud heritage. After the enthusiastic reception the hardtop Camaro Concept got last year, it was a real no-brainer for Chevy to create a convertible. With its tri-coat paint and gray sport stripes paying homage to one of the best remembered parts of Camaro's illustrious history (the 1969 Hugger model), and a torquey V8 under the hood, this just has to be fun to roar up in. Proof that there are still times when only genuine Detroit metal will do.
Okay, this may not be the kind of entrance everyone could pull off. But you would get noticed as you arrive in this concept that is the most ludicrous rendition of a car that we have ever witnessed. It has four wheels, but they're not quite where you'd expect them to be. Two are located in the middle of the car and then there's one each at the front and rear. The front and rear wheels are for steering and the central ones are for traction. The cabin is made entirely of organic material, and looks like it was crafted out of bamboo by amateur basket weavers who've never actually seen a car.
This stunningly styled concept is a massive head-turner. Although first shown two years ago at NAIAS to demonstrate a new styling direction for Lexus, the styling of this new version has been refined with the use of more curved surfaces and additional detailing. The LF-A is still powered by a 500-plus horsepower V10 engine with a front mid-engine placement and a rear transaxle for balance. According to Lexus, the superior aerodynamics, revised styling and horsepower make a top speed of 200 mph possible for a very quick arrival.
Audi R10
You'd most likely to be turning up on your own in this car unless you could shoehorn a passenger into the carbon fiber pod next to you. Having a race circuit as your destination would be helpful, too. The Audi R10 racecar is powered by a completely new 650-horsepower 5.5-liter 12-cylinder bi-turbo turbodiesel engine, which is extremely economical and quiet. This car is famous for a blistering win in the European 24 Hours of Le Mans last year.
