The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
It's wedding season, and after tying the knot, many couples will want to get a fresh start in a new city. But deciding where to settle down as newlyweds can be extremely challenging.
To help them determine the best areas to live and work, Rent.com compiled a list of the top 10 cities for newlyweds.
"Although newlyweds often have strong ties to the areas in which they [grew up], live, or met, marriage is an opportunity for couples to set out on their own and forge a new life together," says Kari Taylor, director of rental insights at Rent.com. "We know that quality of life is important as newlyweds look at where they can build the life they want and build a future for their family. This list gives newlyweds insight into many of the key factors that will dictate their decision."
To compose the list, Rent.com looked at the number of married couples, the percentage of families with children under the age of six, average annual income, cost of living, and rental availability in 25 of the largest U.S. metro areas, using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau.
In Pictures: The 10 Best Cities For Newlyweds
"Stress always accompanies starting any new chapter in your life," Taylor says. "This list arms newly married couples with data to help them navigate one of life's big decisions: where to plant roots and start their lives together."
As it turns out, 38% of surveyed renters say that when they are (or were) newlyweds, job opportunities will dictate the city that they end up settling down in with their new partner.
"As newlyweds focus on putting down roots and building a nest egg for their future family, they'll want to consider cities where the job opportunities provide a good income and the cost of living is manageable," she says.
Here are the top 10 cities for newlyweds, according to Rent.com:
- Houston, Texas – Rent.com says: "The fourth largest U.S. city offers a plethora of neighborhood options for newlyweds to make their own niche and find a community that works for their growing family. Couples can take advantage of the thriving bar and brunch scenes downtown to socialize and meet other young married couples."
- Seattle, Wash. – Rent.com says: "With an above average mean income, the highest percentage of any city on our list with children under six years old, and also having recently legalized same-sex marriage, Seattle is definitely a place for all newlyweds to check out. Newly married couples and young parents alike may enjoy browsing the Museum of Flight or checking out the Ballard Locks."
- Dallas, Texas – Rent.com says: "The heartland of Texas pulls at the heartstrings of many newlyweds looking for a friendly town with lots of opportunity to both play and settle down. With everything from amusement parks to pro sports teams, the town offers something for excitable young families--and with a fairly low cost of living, they will actually have the means to be able to get out and have some fun."
- Raleigh, N.C. – Rent.com says: "Come down South if you want to enjoy the sweet, seductive life that only this unhurried region can offer. More than 25% of children are under the age of six in Raleigh, for lots of options when it comes to finding friends for play dates and get-togethers. Get to know new families at the Marbles Kids Museum or try out the historic carousel and train at Pullen Park."
- Washington, D.C. – Rent.com says: "The nation's capital city offers a wide breadth of romantic opportunities for newlyweds to enjoy depending on what strikes their fancy – everything from cultural excursions (the Smithsonian), to political events, to walking through slices of history at every street corner. With a high mean annual income, newlyweds are more likely to be able to enjoy all that the city offers."
- San Jose, Calif. – Rent.com says: "San Jose reigns supreme in the percentage of married households with almost 55% percent of households led by married couples and the highest annual mean income available across our list at $69,000 a year. As the largest city within Silicon Valley, it is no wonder the young and flexible set up shop for both business and a prospective family."
- Minneapolis, Minn. – Rent.com says: "The City of Lakes is a great spot for newlyweds to settle down. With an above average mean income rate, newlyweds can take advantage of all that the city has to offer, including the romantic views off Lake Harriet or the Minnesota Fringe Festival."
- San Diego, Calif. – Rent.com says: "The second largest city in California offers newlyweds a myriad of options for entertainment to enjoy together – everything from a bustling downtown scene to a gorgeous beach life to iconic landmarks such as the San Diego Zoo is sure to keep couples hopping. Not to mention, San Diego is close enough to many other landmarks in California for loads of mini-romantic, weekend getaways."
- Charlotte, N.C. – Rent.com says: "Don't let its Southern charm fool you, Charlotte is a hot-bed of activity as the second largest financial center in the U.S. after New York City in terms of assets due to the headquarters of and the East coast operations of . Despite these titans of industry making Charlotte their own, the cost of living is fairly low and newlyweds can enjoy all that the city has to offer."
- Tulsa, Okla. – Rent.com says: "With the lowest cost of living on our list, Tulsa offers newlyweds a great foothold when it comes to stepping out on their own. As the cultural capital of the state, newlyweds can experience the ballet, the opera, several major museums and even be immersed in nature via the Tulsa Garden Center or the nearby Ozark Mountains."
Taylor says, though this list isn't ranked in any particular order, there are a few that stand out in terms of "earning potential alone," including San Jose, Washington D.C. and Seattle.
San Jose, which recently topped our "10 Happiest Cities For Young Professionals" list, offers an ever growing high-tech employment base and has the highest annual mean income on the Rent.com list (over $69,000 per year), she says. "That's important when it comes to thinking about where a family can really settle down and create a future."
Washington D.C. is not only rich in culture and history, she says, but it also boasts the second highest annual income on the list at $63,750.
"Seattle, with the third highest income on our list, is a very renaissance city, offering a diverse set of employment opportunities and a mean annual income of $56,000, well above the national average," Taylor adds.
What do all these cities have in common? "They all have rich cultural attractions, as well as lively nightlife and great restaurant scenes; most of them boast residents who earn above average median incomes, signaling that these areas possess strong job and financial opportunities; and some also have a lower cost of living relative to the national average, which means it could be easier to build that nest egg," Taylor concludes.

The overarching goals ofthe Outreach Program are twofold: 1) to provide core support to the U54 for training on community-based participatory research (CBPR), direct community outreach and education, and capacity building for implementation and sustainment of evidence-based cancer control programs, and;2) to conduct an outreach research project to reduce the burden of colorectal cancer among Puerto Ricans. This proposal describes both outreach core activities (under Aim 1) and the required outreach research project (Aim 2) as follows:
AIM 1 : Expand the existing CCCOP to provide core support to the U54 infrastructure, clinical research projects, and trainees with respect to direct community outreach, researcher and community capacity building, CBPR training, and participant recruitment and retention.
AIM 2 : Develop and evaluate the effectiveness, cost effectiveness, and budget impact of a tailored intervention to increase CRCS in PR among patients of FQHCs. Reducing morbidity and mortality associated with cancer in PR requires continuous efforts to address cancer-related behaviors and environmental conditions such as health care access. For example, although colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women and the third in men,^ and is largely preventable through screening and treatment of precancerous polyps, colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) is significantly underutilized in PR among age-eligible patients compared to their U.S. counterparts. The proposed Outreach Program represents a continuation and extension of the Puerto Rico Cancer Control Community Outreach Program (CCCOP) which began as a pilot project in 2006 and expanded to a full U54 Outreach Core in the current funding cycle. The CCCOP will use existing community partnerships, infrastructure, data, and programs to 1) provide training on community-based participatory research (CBPR) to researcher, trainees and community partners, 2) conduct direct community outreach and education, 3) build capacity for implementation and sustainment of evidence-based cancer control programs in communities and primary care settings, 4) leverage existing data, partnerships and progress to expand research and intervention activities in the identified priority areas, and;5) conduct an outreach research project to reduce the burden of colorectal cancer among Puerto Ricans. Through collaboration with community partners, the U54 Outreach Core will continue to identify innovative outreach strategies to reach the most vulnerable and underserved populations. These strategies include the use of community health educators, interactive and mobile technologies, and collaboration with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). We will provide training and technical assistance to community partners, trainees and researchers on issues such as identifying cancer control needs, developing or adapting evidence based interventions, implementation, and evaluation. We will also focus on increasing community participation in clinical trials and biobanking in PR in order to promote effective prevention, diagnostic, and treatment methods for cancer. The cancer burden in PR is well documented by the CCCOP, and there is a significant need for continued community outreach efforts and research to reduce it. The CCCOP is committed to continue work in multiple cancer control topics as part of its Outreach Core, and to strengthen these outreach activities by prioritizing research. As a result, interventions developed through outreach efforts and community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches can be rigorously evaluated, adopted, implemented and maintained to have the greatest possible impact on the health of Puerto Ricans.

As noted with the P50VT20, Panasonic's latest NeoPDP technology - which introduces improvements in the plasma panel design right down to the cell structure level - produces easily the most convincing colours we've seen from Panasonic's plasma TVs. Reds now avoid the orange look seen at times in the past, skin tones look totally realistic (especially using the Digital Cinema Colour option) with natural tones and practically zero patchiness or colour striping, and greens look much more 'in balance' with the rest of the colour palette.
Just occasionally, a dark scene will adopt a very slightly greener overall tone than we'd like. But these moments are rare, and in any case are largely lost amid all the stuff the P42V20's pictures get right.
This 'right stuff' further includes an exceptional ability at reproducing the detail and clarity of HD sources, and some solid-to-good standard definition pictures that look sharper and more naturally coloured than we see with models in the lower regions of Panasonic's plasma range. As part of this, it's worth stressing that Panasonic currently remains the only brand to deliver Full HD resolutions on 42in plasma TVs.
The sharpness just discussed is seldom if ever besmirched by motion judder or blur meanwhile, thanks to a combination of plasma technology's innate response time benefit over LCD, Panasonic's 600Hz Sub-Field Drive, and Panasonic's potent Intelligent Frame Creation/24p Smooth Film processing.
As a side note here, though, we would strongly urge you not to engage any of the motion processing when gaming, as the slight delay it creates can lead to your face getting shot off on Modern Warfare 2 with even more depressing regularity than usual. Fortunately Panasonic has included a Game picture preset that largely fixes this delay issue, so we suggest you use it.
More good news comes from the fact that you don't have to spend hours tweaking the P42V20's new, extensive picture setting options to get the sort of video excellence we've been describing. Sure, there are benefits to some time spent calibrating things, but the provided THX preset is a vast improvement over the one seen with last year's Panasonic premium plasmas - presumably because the new panel design's enhanced abilities, especially with colour and black level response, have allowed THX to get much closer to its ideal picture settings.
The P42V20's sound isn't as accomplished as its stellar pictures. First impressions are promising, as the soundstage appears larger and more dynamic than most. However, over time the soundstage becomes tiring, as it filters through to your ears that the initially imposing bass lines are actually rather muddy and forced, while trebles sound peaky and sometimes even harsh. This is especially true of the Music audio preset; we thus much-preferred the Speech mode.
If you want the vast majority of the picture quality of Panasonic's latest 3D models but don't need 3D, then the P42V20 is the answer to your prayers. It's an outstanding 42in TV in almost every way, and as such manages to make its £1,160 price look better value than we'd expected.
looks like i will be placing an order for one of these tomorrow.. for delivery next week.. i want a plasma and can only fit 42" in my setup.. so it ticks all the boxes.. it doesnt have 3d but i think its about the only drawback.. i dont think 3d will have enough content to justify a tv for a couple of years, at which point i'll probably want to buy a new tv again anyway.. just like to say - the review is good, but a little light on detail compared to some other reviews i have seen of the tv.. most suggest to leave off the intelligent frame creation as it leaves everything look like video.. and introduces unwanted artifects on hd material
Hi John - i know its a while ago but you also reviews my current tv
Sony Bravia KDL-40W4000 Full HD 40in LCD TV
My question to you is - is the pansonic a major upgrade in terms of picture quality over the Sony? I had the Sony ISF calibrated so its pretty good, but i feel the black level could be a lot better.
@Michael McG: while I haven't seen either TV in person, a move to a V20 brings with it two main benefits on paper. 1) It's plasma, so blacks will be much richer than your current LCD TV, and 2) it's plasma, so it should handle motion better.
Beyond that, I can't really comment myself with any degree of authority.
@Michael: "...i feel the black level could be a lot better"
I know how you feel, that's generally my response to most LCD sets, including my Samsung Series 6 which is a similar vintage. I think it's safe to assume that any high-end plasma will be far superior to your current set in this regard.
My problem is that I have yet another TV to choose from.
I want a TV to go upstairs in the Snug. It will probably be used a couple of times a week and run a mixture of Freeview HD (I live 3 miles from Crystal Palace), video from the PC, iPlayer and DVD's.
I'm just not sure whether I should put something cheap up there, or go for the G20 or now this. I prefer plasma to LCD though and have a habit of err'ing towards the high end stuff :)
Too much choice is not always a good thing - lol...
Nice review although I have to say I am slightly disappointed that this screen did not fair better (design and sound.....come on Panasonic). I guess 9 out of 10 is still a good score....but should we have expected better? This has left me with a couple of questions:
1) Do you know if you will be reviewing the bigger brother of this set....namely the TX-P50V20B? Or should I just refer to the 3D version TX-P50VT20B as the differences with standard 2D version will be insignificant?
2) Concentrating on purely image quality, is this set on par or dare I say it better than the final 9th generation Pioneer displays? If not....can Panasonic ever achieve such a goal?
3) Do you think plasma technology has reached its pinnacle or can Panasonic, etc do any more with this technology to keep it ahead of the upcoming LCD / OMLED technology screen advancements?
So can I just plug my satellite dish in the back and get HD (the free stuff?)
@Al: this model (indeed, most Panasonic's these days) has built-in Freeview HD and Freesat HD. Since you have a dish, please refer to the Freesat HD site for details: http://www.freesat.co.uk/index...
Again no word on the flickering that many of us (I'm one of them) see in brighter areas of a plasma TV image.
On a Swedish site selling televisions I found this for the Panasonic G20 plasmas:
HZ is misleading – I know they say it has that on paper, but that is NOT the update frequency that is 600 Hz but the Sub Field frequency. Two totally different things (12 layers of Sub Fields that are show behind each pixel in standard frequency (50 Hz)). They've just multiplied the two and say it's 600 HZ!!! But again, it is NOT the update frequency that is 600 Hz, it's still 50 Hz."
(translated from Swedish)
50 Hz is the same update frequency many of the old CRT TVs had!
Some of the later CRT TVs had 100 Hz update frequency – why can't the plasmas of today also have that? Is it a technology limitation for plasmas or what's the reason behind just using 50 Hz?
I love the look of this. I think the grey looks understated and classy. I'd happily have this hanging on my living room wall!
@ star-affinity - I'm quite surprised to hear what you're saying. I always thought I was very sensitive to image flicker, but apparently I'm obviously not that bad! Back in Uni all the CRT monitors were left at the 60Hz Windows XP default and locked down by IT. I seemed to be the only one constantly bothered by this and would get headaches. At home I had my Mitsubishi DiamondPro screen set to 85Hz. I could still see flicker at 75Hz.
With my 20" Dell IPS TFT monitor I see flicker/strobing on a completely grey screen (not white, just grey). I rarely spend time looking at grey screens though so it doesn't bother me too much, just on very few website backgrounds.
My Panasonic Panasonic TH42PX80 plasma though I've never had a problems witht. Maybe slightly on a completely white static image but I only see them when channels end their programming. My old Sony Trinitorn (50Hz) I hated for its unstable image because of flicker. Do you connect your PC to your TV by any chance?
@Simon J - Design is quite subjective, of course. As for sound, I'd expect that most spending this much on a 42" TV clearly appreciates quality and would likely be investing similarly in a sound system. I'd prefer TVs like this had no speakers at all adding to bulk and cost. Having cheap, discrete speakers is a decent compromise in my opinion. I'd hate to be paying more and adding to the size to accommodate speakers I'd never use personally.
Agree with star-affinity. No TV in 2010 should flicker, yet the Panasonic plasmas do. This, along with the colour banding, would eliminate them from my short list. I've lost count of the number of forum posts I've read where people have returned these sets because of flicker and banding. Great TVs otherwise!
My question would be, i am in a position to order this TV but i am now concerned that the VT20 will be a better set for 2D Picture Quality. If so, is it worth the 500-600 pounds excess? Or are both these sets the same in 2D performance. I am not at all concerned with 3D, i just wan't the best 2D PQ i can buy.
>>And finally, so far the only brand of USB HDD confirmed to work by Panasonic is Buffalo's JustStore Desktop HD-EU2-UK series. >>
As I keep pointing out in the latest Panasonic TV reviews, any USB external hard drive should work, providing you scroll down from the Timer Recording screen's first column through Ext Rec>Reminder>USB external hard drive....:-)
I've had the TX-P42G20B since it came out a few weeks ago (the first 2010 Panny to be released and the model I'd already decided on) and apparently the difference between this and the reviewed V20 model is difficult to tell in real life.
Please review TX-L42V20
well i'm ordering mine tomorrow.. should have it wednesday/thursday... going to have to be my tv for next 5 years.. then hopefully 3d will have settled down.. i was tempted to wait until a 42" vt20 comes out.. but there isnt enough 3d content to justify it at the moment..
got my v20 yesterday, early days but loving it so far.. most obviously difference from previous LCD ? black level.. its streets ahead on the plasma..
I have ordered one of these. Living where we do, it's taking over a month to get here.
Living in the UK, you get all the advantages, Freeview, Freesat and good shops who get the product quickly.
Here in Europe we don't. Be grateful, it's organised.
My profession is camera control, and telecine line-up. I hope that this TV lives up to its expectations. Having seen many revolting 'flat displays', I have waited until the right product was available.
I don't want smearing, I want good pictures, good flesh-tones and I don't want motion-judder.
May I ask a question of those lucky enough to already posses one of these prestigious bits of kit?
You will gather that my future TX-P42V20 still hasn't arrived........
Are the inputs all different? By this I mean is HDMI 1 different to SCART 1?
This might be basic, but I have heard that (on certain manufacturer's products) if (for example) SCART 1 was being used for (say) a DVD Player, HDMI 1 couldn't be used for (say) a DSAT HD RX.
I presume that all inputs are individual.
Many thanks for your time.
I have just been told that my TX P-42V20 is due to be delivered on the 13th.... that's four days!
It arrived on time.
Initially? I'm very impressed.
SD (from a Humax DSAT box) looks better than I was expecting.
DSAT from Astra 1 and Hotbird is OK. Editing (and deleting all the dross) is a bit of a chore.
Initial set-up went well, with an internet-delivered update which was performed very well via the USB WiFi.
Now I am getting used to it, and letting it settle down.
After nearly a week, I am still learning. It is excellent.
I am having to instal a LAN cable as the WiFi isn't strong enough to connect quickly. Sometimes I need to re-plug the WiFi unit into the TV to persuade it to connect. Sometimes it is OK and connects immediately. When I do get reception it is only two bars out of five(?).
I am about to instal a Home Plug connection. When Viera Cast connects, the picture quality depends on the source material (of course!). But on good material, it is very good considering the signal path and route. Entirely satisfactory for a long film.
By the way, those in the UK should be aware that this model excludes the UK software (Freesat, Freeview) and is several hundred pounds Sterling more expensive in Europe.
The competition in the UK ensures good deals.
This Panasonic is still a good 'telly'.
And that, when all is said and done, is what really matters.
Bells, whistles, plugs, sockets, all pale into insignificance when what you want to do is 'watch a programme', not examine every pixel of every frame.
Don't get me wrong, but remember what you are trying to do.
I have now installed a HomePlug and that's much faster to connect, and more reliable (there is a lot of concrete and metal-work between the router and the TV). I think there's an IP conflict somewhere, but I'm working on it!
All I would like now is more Viera Cast material....
A little late reply, but here goes.
The flicker isn't super obvious, especially not if it's a scene with a lot of action and camera movement. Also in darker scenes I'm not bothered, but as soon as there's brighter areas being displayed the flicker is quite noticeable. I looked at this TV in a store and asked the personnel to put on a Blu-ray movie. I think it was Iron Man and there was a scene when the camera panned out from a news paper and the white areas clearly flickered to me.
It seems not all are bothered/seeing this though, but I think it a bit sad. I'd really like the "stillness" of a LED, then this TV (the 50-inch version) would be something I'd consider buying. Now I'm not sure...

Green Council OKs 2014 projects budget
GREEN — Green City Council approved its 2014 capital improvements budget, appropriating funding for 16 projects.
The budget, approved at Council's Feb. 25 meeting, includes $500,000 for planning the proposed Central Park, the most heavily debated project in the $7.45 million budget. Council members called for more public input on the project before any contracts for planning are approved.
Mayor Dick Norton said the administration will set up two meetings for citizen input before Council is asked to vote on a proposed contract with OHM Advisors for design services.
According to city officials, the $7.45 million budgeted for 2014 is nearly a $10 million decrease from 2013. Director of Engineering Paul Pickett said the 2013 budget was much larger than normal, with the city tackling a large number of projects.
According to city officials, projects for 2014 include $4.76 million in street construction and maintenance; $1 million for the Lauby Road/Greensburg Road improvement project, a federal grant project; nearly $1.1 million for parks and $550,000 for tax increment financing (TIF) projects.
Notable among the 2014 projects are planning for Central Park and restroom renovations for Greensburg Park.
Council also approved $207,659 for repair and replacement of catch basins and inlets on Boettler Road. Steel plates currently cover damaged portions of the road, which was termed a hazard to drivers. The repairs will be performed by Spano Brothers, which submitted the lowest and best bid of $188,781. Work will commence as soon as the weather breaks, city officials said.
Following public hearings with no comments on either proposal, Council accepted applications of David Jacobs to place about 101 acres in an agricultural district and of Jerry and Mary Lou Williams to place about 102 acres in an agricultural district. Acceptance of the applications will allow the properties to be taxed at their current agricultural use value (CAUV) instead of full market value. To qualify for CAUV, a property must contain at least 10 acres used exclusively for agricultural purposes or generate $2,500 annually in sale of agricultural products produced on the property.
In other action, Council:
- adopted on first reading an ordinance changing the name of a street known as Greenfield Farms to Greenfield Farms Drive. The change was made to reduce confusion with a similarly named street in the city, officials said;
- adopted on second reading a resolution appropriating $30,899 for the purchase of three Stryker power ambulance cots for use by the fire department. The purchase will use $19,957 from a previously awarded Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation SafetyGRANT$ grant. The appropriated amount will come from ambulance fees, said Fire Chief Jeff Funai;
- adopted on second reading a resolution for a $2,500 grant to the Green Historical Society;
- approved an ordinance adopting the most recent editions of the basic building code, the international one- and two-family dwelling code, the Ohio plumbing code and the national electric code;
- adopted a resolution amending the Green city charter to correct typographical errors, rearrange sections, remove inconsistent language and remove language that violates Ohio law. Law Director Stephen Pruneski said voters earlier authorized Council to make such changes without placing them on the ballot;
- adopted a resolution allowing the city to contract with various engineering, construction management and testing companies for a three-year period. Each company whose services are used must submit an annual billing report to the city; and
- adopted a resolution to contract with Environmental Design Group to provide municipal engineering services through 2016. The resolution was adopted on a 6-0 vote, with Council President Gerard Neugebauer (at large) abstaining.
Green City Council will meet March 11 for a regular meeting, starting with committee meetings at 5 p.m. and the Council meeting at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Central Administration Building, located at 1755 Town Park Blvd.

The executive who launched Harpers & Queen, Cosmopolitan and Company, has just compiled a sex count of women's mags - what proportion of the content of the latest issues is given over to it. The highest scorer was New Woman at 13 per cent, while most of the others hit a chaste 3 per cent, except for trend setter Marie Claire, which scored nil. He thinks there may be a bit of a backlash going on against the sex-obsessed coverage of the past couple of years.
In conclusion, Braithwaite writes: "Sex in magazines, as in all the media, is here to stay, but as the novelty of being explicit wears off it will probably get less attention from the editors." And he warns that the teenage mags will be next to feel the pressure to tone down, as parents protest at gimmicks such as More magazine's Position of the Month. Where do we go from here? Well, new magazines devoted to cats and dogs are selling extremely well.Reuse content

Does anyone have any experience with this heater? I have a 75g so it should do that job but I cannot find out if it is a submersible or just an immersible heater. Anyone know for sure and or have a review on it? THANK YOU!
"SmartHeaters 300 Watt by Rena. Rena SmartHeaters: Durable, fully-submersible aquarium heater with LED warning alert system"
Looks like it's submersible to me :)
Thanks I guess I should have just googled it since Marine Depot did not have "fully submersible" in its title or description of the heater.

3.7L Mustang Beats 5.0L Mustang at the Drag Strip
Supercharged 2011 3.7L V6 Mustang versus 2011 5.0 CS Mustang. Before you start the flame wars know that the 3.7L Mustang has about 80-90 more RWHP than the 5.0. The 5.0 Had some Exhaust mods. Also please stop with the 5.0 needs a driver mod. Until you post your stock 5.0 drag video keep it to yourself. Troll Comments will be deleted! The 3.7L Motor is a true marvel. Performing similar to the 4.6 Motor. Some people want to test its potential versus buying a 5.0. This also marks the first 3.7L Mustang to hit 12's. This world title makes it worth not having the v8 sound. More info at http://v6Mustangperformance.com for pics and timeslips. I have to thank Nitto for the NT05R tires and Weld Wheels for the black RTS wheels (I got a lot of compliments on the wheels), Darryl Bassani for the full Exhaust system. Check out my other video for more Exhaust sounds. BMR suspension for a upper rear control arm, Barton short throw shifter, Shaftmasters for a 1 piece aluminum drive shaft, and of course ProCharger for the Supercharger kit.

Fifty Shades Of Grey: Ryan Gosling IS Christian Grey
Officially the most popular book in the United Kingdom, it's unsurprising that record-breaking erotic novel Fifty Shades Of Grey is being turned into a movie. But which actor could ever match women's fevered imaginings of sexually dominant billionaire Christian Grey? We'll give you a hint... hey girl!
"I don't know whether to worship at your feet or spank the living sh*t out of you."
There's no denying that girls love a bad boy and they don't get much badder than Christian Grey, the "romantic" lead of EL James' Fifty Shades Of Grey trilogy. Overwhelmingly handsome, filthy rich and, let's face it, just plain filthy, the troubled billionaire has definitely got girls all over the UK feeling a little hot under the collar.
Not to mention a little hot everywhere else… swoon!
And now, with producers busy working on the movie adaptation of the best-selling series, all eyes have turned to Hollywood's hunkiest in a bid to find the PERFECT man to step into Christian Grey's Italian leather shoes.
And it's official – we know your number one favourite for the role!
Results are in and Ryan Gosling, oh he who holds the title of World's Sexiest Man, is your favourite for the role of sadomasochist Christian Grey in the upcoming movie, Fifty Shades Of Grey.
The swoon-tastic hunk received nearly 40% of votes from Cosmo girls in our Fifty Shades Of Grey poll, beating the likes of Ian Somerhaulder and Robert Pattinson to the much coveted role.
Can you imagine Ryan, shirtless, uttering the words "every time you move tomorrow, I want you to be reminded that I've been here. Only me. You are mine…" - because we certainly can!
Ryan Gosling received 39.75% of votes, followed closely by Ian Somerhaulder's 28.28%. Robert Pattinson scraped third place, with just over 11% of you backing the Twilight star, while Mark Wahlberg struggled into last place with 6.56%.
But now, thanks to boffins at the University of Central Lancashire, we know EXACTLY what Christian Grey should look like. That should make casting a little simpler, we suppose…
Using the same e-fit technology employed in police investigations, the clever students have managed to put a face to the mysterious character and – looking at those high cheekbones and tousled hair – we're starting to think that Ryan Reynolds might be a better Ryan for the role!
Does the picture match the Christian Grey of your imagination?
We're backing Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling for the role – what can we say, we love a Ryan! - but we want to know who YOU think is the perfect man for the job.
Is it Channing Tatum or Matthew McConaughey, fresh outta their stripper roles in Magic Mike? Or maybe you're still hot for Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson? Or, just, maybe you're backing Simon Cowell (hey, we've heard it suggested!)...
Whoever you have pegged as your main man, let us know! Comment below or send us your suggestions to our Twitter account @CosmopolitanUK now.

From what I know of black women, it's likely you actually ARE attracted to white guys, as you do latin and especially Asian guys, you are just frustrated they don't love you back (for what is to me obvious reasons, physically, mentally, culturally - associating the word with a black person, morally). I am gay Asian male, and I'd rather hug a baboon. Black women, who don't like black men (and vise versa), try all "creative ways" to get connected with Asian and other men. You don't acknowledge this fact? Do you search on black women Asian men thing (the idea! Yuk!), they are so disgustingly numerous, and ALL are promoted by blacks! I am not surprised that for this, Al Sharpton, Jessy Jackson is NOT crying fowl. Oh, what is black culture? except sex crazed shrieks that poisons the society and reeks in billions, have you benefitting from any black science? black inventions? food? technonology? billions pour from Amerias, Europe, Asia into Africa that still can't feed itself, but have you heard of any gratitude?I'm a Black girl and I grew up in the OC around lots of White people everywhere - Still, I've never had any desire to date a White guy. I've been asked out by many and just never really wanted to. Growing up I liked Latino & Asian guys with the tanner skin and darker hair and stuff, even though those guys were few and far between. However, now that I'm older I see people say that non white women want White guys and it seems strange to me because I don't think Black women do. Asian women & Latina girls seem to like White guys and I can't figure it out at all. Are Black women the only ones who don't see White guys as special in any way?
I don't mean to offend anyone though, its just from what I've seen and noticed.
Why don't Black women like White men like other girls do

I know (it has been told to me several times) that black men surely not like to be called as a "boy" and i understand this slavery&Jim Crow background pretty well. Let's take a look at lyrics of this old song and it's your turn to say are these words degrading "white man":
White boys are so pretty
Skin as smooth as milk
White boys are so pretty
Hair like Chinese silk
White boys give me goose bumps
White boys give me chills
When they touch my shoulder
That's the touch that kills
My mother calls 'em lilies
I call 'em Piccadillies
My daddy warns me to stay away
But I say, "Come on out an' play"
White boys are so groovy
White boys are so tough
Every time they're near me
Just can't get enough
White boys are so pretty
White boys are so sweet
White boys drive me crazy
Drive me indiscreet
White boys are so sexy
Legs so long an' lean
Love those sprayed on trousers
I love the love machine
My brother calls 'em rubble
That my kind of trouble
My daddy warns me, "No, no, no"
But I say, "White boys go, go, go, go, go"
White boys are so lovely
Beautiful as girls
Love to run my fingers
An' toes, through all their curls
Give me a tall
A lean, a sexy
A pretty, a groovy
A juicy white boy
Oh, yeah, give me a white boy
White boy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
White boy
Come on an' lie down inside me
Hey, white boy
Ooh, yeah, give me a white boy
White boy, ooh, white boy, ooh
White boy, ooh, white boy
My opinion: heck it's not insulting at all. It might be teasing but there is very warm message behind it. Once upon a time i get angry easily when some one called me a boy. Now when i'm older it sounds almost great.

most white men are homosexuals.
#140 Feb 22, 2013
You're so wrong. Don't fool yourself. Black women & white men don't mix like Oil & water.
I've never been attracted to white men my entire life.
#141 Feb 22, 2013
I don't believe for one moment that God intended for a black woman & a white man to be together. Also White guys are too racist, all over the internet calling black women sheboons,gorillas, apes, ugly etc. who can be attracted to that?
#142 Feb 22, 2013
as a black woman who has dated some white men, I don't date white men anymore, because most of them seem to be pedophiles, or into some really wack sex act. plus most of them are into dork crap like star trek or star wars, ACT LIKE A MAN NOT A CHILD.
asian chicks are into white guys cuz they greedy as hell and because they'll do anything for money, they love you long time for that monaaaaaaaay!
i don't know about latinos though.
#143 Feb 22, 2013
oh yeah, forgot to add, they're smaller than asian dudes too, yet they keep doggin on them for having small penises! lol, seems to me that white guys are projecting their, excuse the pun, shortcomings on asian dudes. and it all makes sense, they like child crap like star trek, have small penises, and like to have sex with kids.
#144 Feb 22, 2013
yeah, whatever you say white boy, have fun molesting the children of your neighborhood. asian people don't talk like you do. there are a lot of white supremacist codes in your text.

All this nonsense talk is from Blacks in America, probably the most backward and ignorant people in the USA. All you have to do is step out if the States and Black women jump in line to marry a white. I've lived and roamed around West Africa for the better part if 3 years. No problem getting any of these women including Muslim ones in Senegal and Mali.
Apart from the insecure and white racism against whites in America, it's a rarity elsewhere in the world.
I wouldn't date an african American because they have issues with everything. I guess that's also a reason why Tina Turner took off to Europe and is fucking a German dude full time?
She had enough if Black culture with Ike Turner.

Hey sweetheart I know this is random, but is that a picture of you?
#152 Mar 18, 2013
I don't know if the above statement is really true.
But, for the few black women that it does apply to I say more power to you, stick to your own.
#153 Mar 18, 2013
I have to agree with you. You are so right on that one. We can't stand you.
#154 Mar 19, 2013
We are just simply not attracted to them.
#155 Mar 19, 2013
Not speaking in a general sense but we are much too discrete. In addition to the history between the disputes of blacks and whites.

You wish. I am a black woman. Pink men are just too feminine for me. I prefer black men but maybe I would date a dark Latino though.

Michelle, women do not bother to go onto forums to talk about men they do not like. You are clearly a black boy who has lost his girl to a white guy and now you want some kind of online retribution. Ain't gonna happen. Black women are flocking to white men in droves now. I'm in London - every day here, you see more black women dating white men, more Asian women dating white men. It's like an epidemic. No wonder black guys have to go for pudgy white chicks now - their women are turning on them! lol
#158 Jun 4, 2013
White guys are generally unattractive and I just have a hard time finding them masculine and they lack that male energy. Anyone else know what I mean? I just don't see them as a potential sex partner. I just look past them....almost like looking at a wall.

Believe what you want.
I have a right to defend my race & gender while you inbreds are all over the internet obsessing with & bashing black women,but you feel I can't discuss a person unless I'm attracted to them??? Give me a break!!
"epidemic"?? black woman & a white man??
All you people do is call black women UGLY ridicule bash & degrade black women. Then when we attempt to defend ourselves we are accused of not really being black women..
I only desire BLACK men. I will go on any forum I choose when I'm being judged. These forum titles don't have to be searched for. They just pop up when searching for other subjects. So I click on them..
I'm leaving comments about black women & my experience as a black woman. I'm all over this African forum leaving comments.
I'm defending myself as a black woman. A lot of you people seem to think you UNDERSTAND black women, & you believe every woman desires the white man. Well it ain't true.
I love your analyzed therioes of BW though.
Bottom line is BW desire STRONG men. The white man is an imposter. Hes physically weaker than any other race of man on this planet.
I participate in all types of discussions. I'm gonna defend myself.

Aston Villa's desire to seal a Champions League spot for next season with a top-four finish this has taken on even greater urgency after Stiliyan Petrov said yesterday that his future at the club depended largely on whether Gareth Barry stays at Villa Park. Barry has already suggested that he will leave should Martin O'Neill's side fail to qualify for Europe's leading club competition.
O'Neill recognises that persuading Petrov to sign a new contract is his "top priority" now the January transfer window has closed. The Bulgarian has been a key performer for Villa this season and has only 17 months remaining of his four-year deal following his £6m move from Celtic in the summer of 2006. Petrov says his own contract negotiations are on hold while Villa fight on two fronts – the league and the Uefa Cup, in which they host CSKA Moscow tonight in the first leg of a last-32 tie.
Petrov admits, though, that Barry's plans – he came close to moving to Liverpool last summer – will have a bearing on what lies ahead for him in the long term. The England player's contract also expires in the summer of 2010.
"The manager will try to show everybody that he wants to build something big here and one of the things is to keep Gareth Barry because he is maybe the most important player at the club," Petrov said.
"If we keep Gareth it will also send out a message to all of the players, a big message that we are in for something big here next year. We all hope he is going to stay because he is one of the best midfielders in the country and you try your best to keep him if you want to achieve something."
On the subject of his contract, he added: "There have been no talks – not at all. My job now is to play football. If the club is interested to offer me a new contract, they will contact my agent and speak about that.
"It is not a priority. There are other priorities at the moment – for the club to finish in the top four of the Premier League and go as far as we can in the Uefa Cup. That is the most important thing."
Petrov rejects the theory that Villa have an advantage as CSKA have not played a competitive game since 4 December because of the winter break in Russia. But he acknowledges that it is a crucial 72 hours for the club, with Villa hosting Chelsea in a meeting of third versus fourth in the Premier League on Saturday which will help define their season and therefore Barry's future.
Villa will be looking to bounce back after going out of the FA Cup 3-1 at Everton on Sunday. "We were really disappointed with the way we played against Everton," Petrov said. "We were on the back foot and not as sharp as we normally are. They deserved to win. It is a very big week for us with two more very important games coming up. People might think it is easy against CSKA because their season hasn't started. But we already know about them from looking at DVDs and they look a very strong team, with pace and players who can hurt you.
"They will have been aware when the draw was made of how good we are and we also have players who can hurt them. They will want to stay in this competition and will be ready."
Barry will return after being ruled out of the defeat at Goodison Park through suspension, but fellow midfielder Steve Sidwell is banned after a red card against Hamburg.

A California elementary teacher recently taught her students from inside the belly of a whale made of plastic sheeting as part of a hands-on activity that complemented classroom instruction and the use of media. "The science program here is very hands-on," Tricia Lamb said. "What we try to do is make sure that at least they'll remember that whale. Hopefully, from that, they'll remember the lesson too."

Peak bloom: Huge crowds flock to Washington to see the cherry blossoms
WASHINGTON – Every year, more than 1.5 million visitors flock here to see the nation's capital in its best light, under the quaint, but awe-inspiring, cherry trees that come to full blossom in April.
More than 3,000 trees bloom around the city over the course of two to three weeks. But the biggest concentration of the precious flowers is around the Tidal Basin, a small water alcove surrounded by cherry trees and memorials including the Jefferson Memorial and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
This year's "peak bloom," the annual period when at least 70 percent of the Yoshino Cherry blossoms are open, arrived right on target within the National Park Service's anticipated time frame of April 9-13. To be exact, it was April 10, most on the lookout agree.
The delicate blossoms may last about a week, but when they turn white, any breeze or rain will blow away the petals, leaving the trees bare with green sprouts to usher in leaves.
Allison Paliska, 22, a Lake Forest native, did what a lot of visitors do – she sat on the edge of the Tidal Basin, swinging her legs above the water, just looking at the trees during "peak weekend."
Paliska said she visits the iconic trees every year now that she lives in the Washington, D.C., area for college and work. "It gets crowded a lot," said the 2009 Mission Viejo High School graduate, "but it's nice to come and see. ... We don't have this in Orange County."
Visitors come from all over the world, particularly Japan, at this time of year to see not the monuments nor the prestige of federal Washington, but rather the once-a-year, living symbol of Japan's relationship with the United States.
In 1910, 2,000 cherry trees were given to the U.S. from Japan upon the request of first lady Helen Taft, according to National Park Service historical records. The trees were found to be diseased and were ordered to be burned by President William Howard Taft.
Two years later, another 3,020 trees were delivered to Washington from Japan. While some trees have been lost and others added, many of the original trees are still alive today.
The blossoms are celebrated annually with a National Cherry Blossom Festival (nationalcherry
blossomfestival.org), which includes a parade and a variety of cultural events. This year, the Beckman High School Patriot Marching Band from Irvine represented California. The musicians played "The Stars and Stripes Forever" as they marched, while the cherry trees swayed in the sunlight on a warm spring day.

Predicting the SEC Men's Tournament Champion
About The Tournament
Teams will be seeded No. 1 through No. 14 in the SEC Basketball Tournament bracket based upon the final regular season Conference standings. Teams that finished No. 1 through No. 4 in the final regular season standings shall receive first- and second-round byes and teams that finish No. 5 through No. 10 will receive first-round byes in the SEC Basketball Tournament.
Game links and more can be found on our Men's Basketball Championship page

A. Won-lost results of head-to-head competition between the two teams.
B. Won-lost record of the two teams versus the No. 1 seed (and proceeding through the No. 14 seed, if necessary).
C. Coin Flip By Commissioner
Three-Team Tie (or more)
A. Best winning percentage of games played among the tied teams (Example: Team A is 3-1, Team B is 2-2 and Team C is 1-3 â Team A would be seeded highest, Team B second-highest and Team C lowest of the three).

England effectively ended their Four Nations challenge with an error-strewn performance in an undistinguished game here yesterday. Australia did not even have to play particularly well to win by 20 clear points and book their place in the final in two weeks; they simply had to accept most of the invitations offered.
England, admittedly, played with more energy than they had done in that insipid first half against New Zealand last week. Their forwards were at least the match of the Kangaroos, with Sam Burgess and the captain, James Graham, particularly strong at prop. When they enjoyed some possession they often looked capable of breaking down an Australian defence that was a long way from its best.
But glaring individual errors undid them and again underlined the deficiencies in the British game – notably, that there are just not enough players whose skills stand up to examination under pressure at the highest level.
Two early penalties, the second for Ryan Atkins saving his line by tackling his man without the ball, set the scene for Australia's opening try, scored by Luke Lewis running off the shoulder of Cooper Cronk. It was encouraging, though, that England hit straight back.
Sam Thaiday was penalised for holding down Darrell Goulding and the field position was exploited by James Roby's excellent crisp pass from dummy-half to send Burgess, the NRL's favourite Pom, through a gap to touch down. "I thought we started off pretty strongly, but we made too many mistakes after that," Burgess said.
England even led for a short while, after Ben Westwood slotted over a penalty to go with his conversion, but it was all downhill from there.
Goulding lost the ball returning a kick and Australia got the first of the debatable decisions that went in their favour. Darren Lockyer's kick seemed to have shaved Cronk's hand and gone forward before Lewis touched down, but the Australian video referee, Steven Clark, ruled a try. "We could all see it on the field, so I don't know how he couldn't," was Burgess's assessment.
Roby was the next to surrender possession, an error compounded when Tom Briscoe misjudged Lockyer's kick to the wing and Billy Slater pounced.
The game was galloping away from England now, all the more so when Atkins lost the ball and Brent Tate was ruled to have scored in the corner, despite a dubious-looking grounding. "We got some tough calls, but I don't think they changed the result," Burgess said. "You have to rise above them."
Lewis could have had his hat-trick, but unselfishly passed to Willie Tonga for the fifth Australian try, to emphasise the ease with which they were scoring and their half-time superiority.
With the rain lashing down on the half-empty AAMI Park stadium, the game deteriorated badly in a technical sense in the second half, with both coaches blaming the Australian referee for allowing the play-the-ball to be slowed down by lying-on in the tackle.
England were at least first on the scoreboard after the break, thanks to Luke Robinson's electric burst from dummy-half. "It was nice to score my first try for my country, but I wish the circumstances could have been a bit different, so I could have celebrated it a bit more," said Robinson, who like his half-back partner, Sean O'Loughlin, and Sam Tomkins, switched to full-back, struggled to get into the match as an attacking force.
The whole of the threequarter line simply looked not good enough to compete at this level, although the England coach, Steve McNamara, pointed to the average age of the squad at 24 and insisted: "We were very dominant physically and our forwards battered them at various stages of the game."
There was a question mark about the final Aussie try, Lewis's pass to Slater looking clearly forward before Lote Tuqiri got the touchdown. For some unenterprising reason, Australia chose to kick for goal when they got a penalty after that, giving Cameron Smith his fifth success.
Australia, without greatly impressing their coach, Tim Sheens, won with plenty to spare. "It's difficult for England out here with nothing like their best side," he said. "They need to have their best squad available."
Sheens warned that there would be changes for next week's dress rehearsal for the final against New Zealand, because too many of his players had underperformed for his liking.
"England made a couple of fundamentals and gave us field position," he said. "And when you do that, we generally hurt you.
"But I'm concerned by the way they walked through us in the middle. New Zealand would be licking their lips at that.
"There will be some changes, because some players didn't play well enough," Sheens added.
That puts England's limitations into unflattering perspective. They must now find the enthusiasm to prepare for the Battle of the Also-Rans, against Papua New Guinea in Auckland on Saturday.
Australia Slater; Morris, Tate, Tonga, Tuqiri; Lockyer, Cronk; Miles, Smith, Civoniceva, Lewis, Thaiday, Gallen. Substitutes used Shillington, Learoyd-Lahrs, Watmough, Gidley.

* New Zealand made sure of a place in the Four Nations final with a 76-12 victory over Papua New Guinea in Rotorua on Saturday. Junior Sa'u and Sam Perrett, the replacement for the injured Manu Vatuvei, both scored hat-tricks, while Sheffield's Menzie Yere scored one of PNG's two tries.
