Moving this over here in case anyone has missed it. Needing this gone within next 2 weeks due to losing parking space. Couple of faults but nothing major. Its mot'd til jan and in good running order. Price drop to £300 as is for quick sale, otherwise i fix the faults and stick it on bumtree for twice that amount! Would make a good winter beater for someone

Going to try this on here before the fun that is eBay or similar.
My mum has recently replaced her trusty old SportKa with a newer 500 and currently it's just sat in the garage.
It's only done 38k with I think mum being the third owner plus a very large file of bills. As you can see from the MOT history 'a lot' of miles have been done in the last few years....! Has the leather interior, an aftermarket Bluetooth kit, Air Con that works and four good tyres plus working remote key.
It has had some attention by a welder in the past but the filler area is solid and other than a few obvious bits on the sills and corners of the rear bumpers is in nice condition.
If anyone is interested please let me know. I'm back there later this week so can look at the paperwork or anything else on the car in more detail.
She's looking for about £750-800.
Car is currently SORN and located in deepest Lincolnshire (near Spilsby).

Hot on the heels of last week's collectioneering of a Xantia, another collection starts here and now. Well it is probably a collection as long as the car is as described, but I am optimistic.
Clues. It's enormous yet quite cramped. Never had one before and it could be considered blessed, saintly even!

It's the green one.
If you're proper horny for it then PM me, but anyone with cash can buy a car any time. Meh.
Would roffle, but CBA with the admin.
Therefore, funtime!
Another KruJoe-spec 99p start AUCTION...
(GBP (Pounds Sterling) bids only, no licked Twixes (John_F, I'm talking to you), bid increments 50 pence or more, that's up to you. Auction ends 24 hours after the last bid. Other T&C's may apply if I haven't thought of them yet.)
It's a risk, but I'll take it.
I've thought of a number as a reserve, roughly bridge price plus today's £50 MOT fee, so above that, I'm happy. If it doesn't work, we'll re-think, but his is will be a cheap car for one of you lot.
Central, so close to everyone on mainland UK.
Collection: most days/times are possible, evenings are good. Relaxed timescale, storage is not a problem here. I can bring you to it from Skipton bus or rail station.
The Car.
My dependable daily for two FTP-free years. Ex-JohnK and Bramz.
1.4 Rti run-out model, lots of toys.
Cheap tax and cla$$ic policy friendly (£140pa, Carole Nash. A.Flux quoted similar).
Tested until 31 May 2020, advised on two back tyres.
Not yet 62,000 on the dial. Likely to be SORN'd before June. V5 here, with loads of history.
New oil and filter last week.
Good batt, exhaust, brakes etc. There are a few minor niggles, I've just lived with it. Character, innit.
Squishy-comfort velour in fine fettle. (Almost) everything works.
The bodywork scrubs up well but there's some bits of rust if you really go looking. It doesn't stop it being a respectable motor… until… last week one of my favourite brothers rubbed a tractor down the side, damaging two doors and the mirror.
All still work fine, and I still have the (undamaged) plastic strip from the door. I don't have the arsedness to try improving it cosmetically and I'm ready for a change of daily anyway. The worst would likely push out from inside. As would the small bit on the arch – it's single skinned there. Until that happened, nobody has ever turned their nose up at it, and it has attracted a lot of positive conversation.
99p anyone?

I have acquired a vehicle. This is when I was trying to fix it so I could drive home.
The car was offered FOC to the Rover 800 Owners' Club. They weren't really in a position to take it on directly, so it ended up being pointed my way. It's an 820 base model - SU carburettor-fed 2-litre O-Series! BAe was the first owner, for eight weeks, then it was sold to the father of the chap I bought it off, who sadly passed away last year.
It has covered 105k, has a fair bit of rust in a few places, but is pretty tidy and looks bloody fantastic. It has a few weeks of MOT, delicious dealer plates, unexpected lumbar adjustment and electric front windows. One piece of wood on the dash, none on the doors, manual tilt/slide sunroof, spoiler!
It had barely moved since July last year, but sadly, I got a whiff of hot brakes on the M55. I pulled onto the hard shoulder and the nearside rear wheel was smoking. I limped at 30mph down the hard shoulder to the next junction, which was not fun. I then limped gently back to the vendor, where I stripped the brake, used entirely the wrong grease (as it was all he had) to try and improve things, considered this a success and drove 180 miles home.
I seem to have mostly taken photos of the rear.
There is a petrol station shot, but you'll have to wait. I developed a horrible migraine on the way back and had to stop for a while. Most unlike me.
Eventually made it back.
It's all a bit complicated, but the idea is I have it for a bit and at some point, it'll end up back with the club. I think the plan is to sell it to raise some funds for charity longer term, but sadly, it could also do with a set of calipers and tyres, so finances need to be reconsidered I think. The brakes are SHITE. It could be air from boiling brake fluid, so I'll see if a bleed helps, but I reckon all the calipers are buggered.

It's the AL East, son
If you want games that "matter", then take heed: These are the games that matter.
Last year, the Jays' schedule against the Only Division That Matters was almost entirely backloaded, with their first meeting against the Unholy Trinity coming on May 19 in Boston. And it was pretty much on that evening in Boston that the then unstoppable Blue Jay machine was pretty much stopped in their tracks.
(And to be honest with you, we're not sure that we've recovered yet from that Tim Wakefield junk-ball-palooza, after which the Jays hitters went into such a prolonged slumber that some of them may have had their organs harvested without waking up. Which would go a long way towards explaining Lyle Overbay.)
Make no mistake: These are the games that matter, and this is where the fortunes of this team are determined. The Jays were 20 games under .500 against those three teams (and an even .500 with the Orioles, if that matters), so effectively it was that significant chunk of the schedule that sunk any hopes of respectability. Conversely, the Jays were 49-41 outside of their division. Which is kinda respectable, even for a team that people wrote off as a disaster.
(Go ahead. Sing it with us, because you know the words: "My Kingdom for a Balanced Schedule!")
Let's get this party started right
So if this wholly inequitable portion of the schedule has to get started somehow, we can't think of a much better pitching matchup than tonight's. The Dreamboat himself, Brett Cecil, will take the mound in the air-conditioned tomb of Tampa versus the dastardly Matt Garza, who owns the Jays (6-3, 1.70 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 10 career starts against the Jays.) And still, we'd rather face him than Wakefield.
(If only we weren't going to be blind drunk by the time the first pitch is tossed.)

As far as I'm concerned the Jays just finished the season 9-7. It was a great effort which is even sometimes worthy of a wild card in football.
The rest of the year is just a try-out to see who this team should build around next year, their record over this portion is irrelevant.

And no Friday rock out? You, sir, are a c***!
OK, you shouted out to your college years last week, so here is my suggestion -- since we are about to entrust the first start against the AL competition to the "genius" of Brett Cecil.
- April 23, 2010 at 4:46 PM
I still love the cawk.
- April 23, 2010 at 5:22 PM
Chez Lucien's was a baseball bar? No way? Excellent beer collection.
I'm going to have to find a good ball bar in the next few months.
Didn't the Jays destroy Garza with his first start with the Twins and he's owned them since?
Until tonight of course.

Red Sox fans are having the opposite problem to open up the season - They started with the Yankees, then had games with Tampa Bay, Minnesota and Texas, with only three games against the Royals. Now that Baltimore and (sorry) Toronto are coming to town, that should give the Sox a shot to put up a gaudier record, and the team will magically get a lot better.

For nearly a decade, rising investment demand for silver — from coins to futures to exchange-traded funds — has been the primary driver behind a bull run that has taken silver prices from a meager average of $4.85/oz to highs not seen in 30 years. Since the 2008 crash, investors have counted on continued central bank quantitative easing measures to devalue global currencies and push gold and silver prices higher. Now, many analysts are once again looking to massive liquidity expansion and the resulting currency devaluation to drive safe-haven investment in precious metals. Silver guru David Morgan said he expects investment demand growth to continue in 2013 for two reasons:Ongoing economic uncertainty will push big-money investors and financial institutions toward hard assets like precious metals, driving up the cost of gold.In the face of rising gold prices, retail investors will be drawn to silver's relative affordability. Morgan is confident that silver will hit $50 an ounce in 2013. Industrial demand a factor for silver in 2013 The silver market's historical proclivity for wide upswings and even wider downward spirals has earned it the moniker "the Devil's metal." At the start of 2012, silver investors were warned to expect more of the same. Silver is a much smaller market compared to gold; that and its dual nature as both a precious and industrial metal are responsible for most of the white metal's volatile and unpredictable price performance. Silver's stellar performance in the first quarter of 2012 gave hope to many a silver bug that the precious metal was on track to reach its record high of $50 an ounce for a second year in a row.
But industrial demand fell by about 6 percent for the year and the decline took some support out of spot prices. Silver barely broke the $35-an-ounce range during a short seasonal rally in the fall. In the last quarter of 2012, silver has lived up to its reputation, with 100-day historical volatility nearly twice as high as that of gold, as Silver Investing News reported Friday. That has left silver fighting to stay above $30 an ounce.In 2013, silver's industrial demand side, which accounts for well over half of all silver demand, may continue to be the wild card in price performance for the white metal. Given that global economic uncertainty is expected to carry over from last year, Barclays (LSE:BARC) has said that in 2013 silver will most likely retain its position as the "most volatile" amongst metals in terms of "price action." If the financial crisis in Europe worsens and Washington fails to prevent the US from falling off the proverbial fiscal cliff, economic growth could slow, meaning that industrial demand for silver will suffer. Such a reality could have a far greater impact on spot prices given that the market is already oversupplied. However, analysts are banking on improved economic growth in China and continued strength in emerging economies to support the global economic recovery going forward. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) analysts have forecast an average of 3.2 percent in global economic growth in 2013. The new year brings the possibility of modest growth in silver industrial demand if the global economic recovery continues. A recent Thomson Reuters GFMS report shows that industrial demand for silver will gain 6.7 percent in 2013 and 6 percent in 2014; a much-needed turnaround from last year's losses and a boon to silver prices if the other side of the coin, investment demand, proves strong in 2013.
2013 average silver price forecastsAnalyst outlooks for the average silver price in 2012 — ranging from $30/oz to $52/oz — revealed just how tricky it can be to predict the metal's performance, and 2013 is no different. Below are a selection of forecasts for silver's average price performance in the new year. CPM Group $28.70/oz Barclays $32.50/oz Societe Generale (EPA:GLE) $34/oz Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) $35/oz UBS (NYSE:UBS) $36.80/oz BNP Paribas (EPA:BNP) $39.05/oz Commerzbank (ETR:CBK) $40/oz TD Securities $40.52/oz Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) $44/oz Securities Disclosure: I, Melissa Pistilli, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.

On a depressingly grey London day I came to the very impressive (in a good way) Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge. Foliage, the Hotel's restaurant was designed by Adam Tihany and is now the realm of Chris Staines. Staines worked with Marco Pierre White and with Nico Ladenis before coming to Foliage in the early 2000's.
During the last few months one didn't hear a lot from this restaurant and Food Snob and I decided to see what they had on offer. At 12h we enter the room, are the first to be there and directly greeted by the excellent manager, Arno Liebscher. After having been seated, we decide to let the chef decide, as we wouldn't have been able to decide on what to have anyway.
To accompany our champagne we were served some salmon with ponzu jelly. Very good quality salmon, cut from the heart of the fillet slipped into a sheet of Ponzu jelly. A most pleasant little bouchee, which lets you see the philosophy behind Staines' cooking: Very good products, faultless technical execution, clear, often strong flavours and very clean presentation.
Bread is delivered by Poilane, butter by Jean Yves Bordier from Saint-Malo, who also counts Passard, Ducasse and countless others as his clients. Both were very good, except for a walnut bread, sliced extremely thinly and a mediocre baguette.
The amuse bouche consisted of a lentil ragout, with shredded Peking duck, a cream of potatoes and croutons. Here again you had very clean, strong flavours, precise seasoning and a nice interaction between the individual elements.
The first course of our menu was Scallops/Orzo / Squid ink / Thai Curry. Hand dived scallops, perfectly cooked, with lovely firm texture sat on some delicious orzo pasta, cooked in squid ink in which some small squid pieces swam. It was accompanied by some almonds, who didn't necessarily add much to the dish and a Thai curry foam. This was one of the best dishes of the day, the only point that isn't quite to my liking is the fact that the scallops are cut in half. I only find this in England and don't see the point of it. An excellent, comforting dish, that is just very pleasant to eat.
At the same time Food Snob was served Haddock Raviolo / Leeks / Herring Roe / Lobster Sauce. Notice that this is one of the few restaurants that knows that a single raviolo is called raviolo and not ravioli. That alone deserves to be mentioned. The raviolo was filled with Haddock and egg yolk. It was crowned with some Avruga caviar and lobster sauce. All in all a very nice dish, were the only problem was the egg yolk, which was too present. Because of the richness of the Haddock, the egg yolk and the Caviar, a slightly acidic element could have been a nice addition. But on the other hand it was just a very indulgent dish, that made you forgot the depressing British weather.
The next set of starters began with Calves Head / Piccalilli / Watercress / Speck. Here calves cheeks were braised and pressed into a terrine, covered with Speck (a kind of bacon/ham from South Tirol) and accompanied by some quintessentially British Piccalilli and pickled vegetables. This was another dish bursting with very strong flavours. The slightly sour vegetables were a great counterpoint to the rich cheek. If this dish couldn't live up the the (extremely) high standard of the scallop dish, it was still most enjoyable.
The highlight of the meal was one of the dishes, none of us would have ordered. Gnocchi / Mushrooms / Sage and Onion / Butternut Squash offered gnocchi of exceptional quality: Unbelievably light, fluffy gnocchi, which were nearly on par with some I've had at the Louis XV a few years back. To accompany them some fried onions and sage gave a crunchy note, whilst shimeji mushrooms gave a deliciously earthy flavour. To complete, parmesan added some salty touch. This was a real stunner, especially as we never had expected such masterfully executed gnocchi. Also, every element had a distinct role. With the scallops, the second dish that would have felt at home in most 3 star restaurants. Outstanding!
As fish course, we were served Sole / Parsley / Brown Butter / Capers. Here lemon Sole was steamed, which resulted in a very soft, flaky texture. It was then covered with some buttered breadcrumbs, which gave it an amazing richness. The sole package lay on a disc of white balsamic jelly and spinach. Around it were served crispy (excellent) capers, a very good beurre noisette emulsion and confit potatoes with trompettes de la mort. Another very mature dish, which, again, proved to be excellent. The only thing that I personally don't really like is when Sole is slightly soft, but that is a matter of personal taste.
The second fish dish was Lobster / Curry Sauce / Mango Chutney / Pilau Rice. Here, perfect lobster sat on pilau rice, covered with red onion crisps and curry sauce. Mango chutney and sauce gave the whole a lovely, fruity freshness. The magnificent lobster was the star of this dish, the rice didn't impress us particularly, but then, we both don't really like rice that much. As long as it isn't a risotto or paella of some sort. What was very nice, was the interplay between the firm, powerful lobster, the curry sauce and the slightly sweet, refreshing mango chutney.
For mains I started with Pork Belly / Macaroni Cheese / Spiced Pumpkin / Black Pudding. Now this was another highlight. A (unfortunately) small piece of braised piglet, with a divine crunchy crust was served with black pudding, spiced pumpkin puree and an interesting play on macaroni and cheese. Certainly very different from Heston Blumenthal's macaroni and cheese, which he serves with his pork dish, this version was cold, with a very good jus and some buffalo mozzarella. All in all this was another stunning dish. As I'm a big fan of crunchy things, this pork was just heaven on earth, or very close to it.
At the same time Food Snob had a most interesting dish, of which he generously let me try some bits. It was Lamb Neck / Olive Mash / Sweetbreads / Pepper. Here again, one saw the interest Staines has in offal or not so common products. It was one of those very satisfying dishes, which surely don't attract everyone, but do reward those who know the good things in life. Braised lamb neck, sweetbreads were the main protagonists in this play, in which the sweet/sour peppers and olive mash gave a feeling that you are somewhere closer to the sun. (No photo for that, sorry)
As third main, we had Chicken / Mushroom Puree / Broccoli / Gewürztraminer, which was another great dish. In this case I really enjoyed the very full flavour of the (British!) chicken and the remarkable mushroom puree. The chicken was served in two preparations, once the breast and the rolled leg, both with rich flavour and amazingly tender. Another outstanding dish.
To begin with the sweet world, as Ferran calls it, we had a Hazelnut Daquoise / Chocolate Mousse / Blood Orange and Cardamom.
The idea behind this was a deconstructed trifle. An excellent orange and cardamom sorbet and the hazelnut emulsion were the elements that stood out. It was a nice dessert, but not on the same level as the savoury courses we had enjoyed so far. Maybe there was just too much going on on the plate.
Finally, to conclude our meal, Food Snob had asked for Rhubarb Souffle / Pannacotta / Ginger / Streusel. Now, coming from « Europe » as the British call it, I find it strange to have rhubarb in January. Food Snob however, told me that in England one has found a way to grow winter rhubarb. The souffle was lovely, with a thin layer of Streusel and some interesting bits of rhubarb (?) in it. The sorbet, also rhubarb, wasn't that successful. All in all I did enjoy this dish, even though it still didn't fascinate me.
As petit-fours we were given some of the best madeleines I have coma across. The chocolate and lemon, vanilla and honey ones were so delicious that we asked for a second round.
All in all, I went to Foliage without very high expectations, wrongly so as I remarked after this remarkable lunch. This meal was definitely one of the best I've had in London so far. On the same level as ADAD, Pied a Terre and Darroze, maybe even more interesting in some points. Throughout the meal, the service was excellent, which certainly helps you appreciate the whole lunch. The only « weakness » would be the desserts, which didn't seem to fit in with the clear, very well thought out savoury dishes.
This is definitely a place to visit when in London, even if not as popular as some other places. One will certainly hear a lot of Staines in the future, as this was a most promising meal.

In Nebraska, Republican Gov. Dave Heineman enacted the biggest tax cut in state history, and the state's unemployment rate of 4.2 percent is now the second lowest in the nation.
In Connecticut, Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy enacted the largest tax increase in state history this year, and the state's unemployment rate of 9.1 percent ranks in the bottom half in the nation.
Despite their different approaches on taxes, the two governors stood side by side at a Hartford hotel Tuesday at a news conference regarding the best ways for states to grow jobs.
Heineman, who chairs the National Governors Association, came to Hartford after Malloy agreed to host one of four regional economic summits that will stretch from Nashville to Omaha to Seattle.
The tax cuts, he said, allowed Nebraska to be ranked by the CNBC cable channel in the top 10 as a business-friendly state.
"It made a real difference in our tax-competitive climate, our business-friendly climate,'' Heineman said. "We know we need to do more. It's all of these things combined. It's not just one. It's taxes. It's regulation. It's workforce development. It's education.''
Since he took office in January, Malloy said, he has spent much of his time "straightening out the state's finances'' and balancing the budget. Part of that included increases in most of the state's taxes, including those on income, sales, and corporate profits.
"I believe we're moving in the right direction,'' Malloy said. "The reason I did what I did with respect to the budget was so that I could look business in the face and say, 'Listen, I believe we've got the bulk of our problem behind us. We've balanced a budget. We've taken the steps necessary to wrestle a structural deficit to the ground and we move forward.' ''
"I think we are a tax haven,'' Malloy told reporters. "Although our personal taxes may be high, primarily driven by our over-reliance on property taxes, if you look at our corporate tax structure, we have one of the lowest effective rates on the corporate level.''
Malloy, Heineman, and Gov. Jack Markell of Delaware were the three main participants in the National Governors Association summit. Heineman, who arranged the summits, said he made his first call to Malloy to schedule a conference in Connecticut. The conference includes about 10 panel discussions over two days at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Hartford with participants from all New England states.
Top economic development officials from Connecticut, including University of Connecticut board of trustees chairman Larry McHugh, MetroHartford Alliance CEO and former gubernatorial candidate Oz Griebel, CBIA chief John Rathgeber, General Assembly commerce committee co-chairman Jeffrey Berger of Waterbury, commerce ranking member L. Scott Frantz of Greenwich, and Malloy's budget chief, Ben Barnes, were in attendance.
Malloy was one of the early speakers in a truncated hotel ballroom to tell the story of the economic strengths of Connecticut.
"We write more life [insurance] policies than any other state in the nation,'' Malloy told the multi-state crowd. "If you're going to build a submarine or a jet engine, you're more likely to do it here than any other state in the nation.''
In an attempt to improve the state, Malloy says Connecticut needs to move more quickly in issuing permits to businesses. It also takes 18 to 24 months to approve a new academic major at the state colleges and universities, and the state needs a "much more rapid'' decision-making process, he said.
As they went around the table, speakers from Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Vermont all briefly talked about their states and how they are trying to reform regulations and cut red tape.
In Nebraska, Heineman said that the college professors at the University of Nebraska should be recruiting students in the same way that the coaches are recruiting athletes.
"That gets them a little excited when they think they might be held accountable,'' Heineman said of the professors.
In Nebraska, the state cut income, property and sales taxes during the seven years that Heineman has been governor. With 1.8 million residents, Nebraska has a population about half the size of Connecticut, but its state budget is far, far lower. Connecticut spends about $20 billion annually, while Nebraska spends about $3.5 billion. In addition, Nebraska has a unicameral legislature - meaning there are 49 state senators and no members of the state House of Representatives.
The two-day conference marked the first time in recent memory that three governors had appeared in Hartford at the same time. Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee was scheduled to attend, but a last-minute schedule change prevented his attendance.
Senate Republican leader John McKinney of Fairfield said he was stunned by the comments.
"So Governor Malloy thinks this is a tax haven? I had no idea,'' McKinney said. "I think the governor's comments that we're a tax haven shows that the governor doesn't get it. Maybe the multi-national large corporations are attracted by a lower corporate tax rate, but our economy is driven by small business owners. ... The way to tell business that you have your house in order is to get spending under control. He doesn't cut spending. He increases spending. I'm almost left speechless at the fact that here's the governor of Nebraska talking about cutting taxes and our governor is believing that increasing taxes improved our business climate. Every small business owner pays the personal taxes that Governor Malloy thinks are too high.''
He added, "To me, he's saying, 'I only care about big business that paid a corporate tax.' I'm very surprised by his comments. ... The governor's comments show a tin ear toward the real needs in our state - to let small businesses grow and get stronger.''
The next step is the special session on October 26 that focuses on jobs and the construction project proposed by the Jackson Laboratory at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington. McKinney attended the celebratory press conference when Malloy announced the deal, but he is still asking for further details.
"I have not taken a position. I was there to thank the governor for getting us to that point,'' McKinney said. "You can't make a commitment until you have all the answers.''

I love, love, Love this car
By David on Thursday, October 13, 2016I purchase the Acura TLX with the technology Package 2.4L at the end of September 2016 and so far I enjoy driving this car. It is so smooth and responsive to the road. I was aware that Acura 2015 version has some issues with the transmission prior to purchase; however, i was told that in the 2016 model those issues where addressed. So far I'm in love with my car and hope that it maintains the Honda/Acura badge of reliability, value, and quality. I test drove other luxury brand of cars and yes they all felt great, especially the BMW3 series; but, the Acura had more features for the price.

Cool car! Most features included in the base model
By DrFrag on Thursday, June 29, 2017Acura TLX 2015 is a major update and completely replaced TSX and TL. Ive owned it since January 2016. I chose this car because its base model included all desirable features like sun roof, back up camera, driver and passenger side power seats, TPMS and maintenance indicators. The 2.4 liter engine generates enough power to drive around on the highway (35 mpg). The ride in the city is extremely comfortable (25 mpg). One thing all my passengers point out is that the cabin is very quiet. The sound system delivers a crisp sound but may lack some bass. Only cons I can think of are that the dual screens are not really needed unless you have a navigation system. Also, the bluetooth takes about 5 seconds to connect to my iPhone. So if I am on a call and get into the car, there will be 5 seconds of downtime. Overall, its the best luxury car for the price in my opinion.

Lots of positives and a few negatives
By santej25 on Wednesday, May 29, 2019Overall this car is great! I absolutely love the styling both inside and out. The A-spec trim level is a head turner, great body lines fantastic rims/wheels. The inside cabin is laid out nice, love the steering wheel and steering wheel controls, the gage cluster is real-real good. I averaged 32 mpg on a 1,400 mile road rip from South Carolina to Minnesota as well, about 28 around town, sp pretty darn good! The bad? Well the paint job is super cheap; my car has paint chips everywhere!! Sucks, I am not the only one either if you do a search on TLX & ILX paint jobs (newer ones, say 2014 and up) you will see there are a lot of complaints about the quality, or lack thereof the paint jobs coming out of the Ohio plant where they are made. I am hoping to bring this to Acura for a warranty claim, TBD for now…but no question they have an issue. Also, the "premium" sound system is a joke, they need a B & O one of even a Bose, their ELS I believe they call it is marginal and what I would expect in a 23K Mazda3. Over all great car, handles great, decent get up and go, fantastic styling…. Just that paint and fake "premium" sound system are my only 2 BIG dingers against it.

6-month old pupbert, has inwardly-bowed rear legs so didn't get to the point of serious training for racing.
2-year-old dogbert, was about to race when they discovered she has a heart murmur. Stunning animal, easily the best muscle definition of all the hounds we've had.
Hector and Saffy
Get an idea of the size difference here. Hector's about the size of a fully-grown kelpie and he's dominated by Saffy. She'll hopefully be about 35Kg of solid muscle when we fatten her up a bit.
They look like such awesome dogs to have, if you have the time, energy and passion to care for them.
The opposite is true in terms of energy I guess from what you described earlier
I don't have time for high-maintenance dogs! Greyhounds are only marginally above cats for the sheer 'effort' required to keep them happy. They're fine apartment dogs too; like I said above, one of ours went to Tokyo, not exactly known for it's rolling hills and wide open spaces and he seems to be doing quite well from the correspondence we occasionally get from Hiro.

I feel you Heef..
Evidence cats are not smarter than dogs; despite it being clear that we have one, sometimes two monstrous cat-hating greyhounds inside, if I open the front door even slightly, both cats are usually waiting at the door ready to sprint past me into the house without any thought whatsoever. Sometimes, they get through and are almost immediately confronted by a muscle-bound grindhouse with eyes roughly 10x its size which spent the first two years of life doing little else other than eat, poop and learning to chase little fluffy things at 80Km/h or, in other words, faster than any other cat not named a cheetah. And yet, every goddamn night.......
Your witness, cat lovers.
seems like you are the idiot for not being able to stop the cats
Had several dogs growing up, mainly Border-Collies and Kelpies as i grew up on a farm. MY first dog was a Border Collie Kelpie Cross, brown with white feet. Best dog ever he was. Had to put him down 4 months before I went off to uni aged 14 due to advanced throat cancer. Put him down on Saturday morning and I played rugby that afternoon, the coach thought I'd been out on the turps all nightmy eyes were that red.

As part of my ongoing Test batsmen ratings, I want to do a study on how many "pressure centuries" the best batsmen in Test history have scored.
Just want to get some ideas on how "pressure" is defined.
Here are my four criteria.
a) Scored in any team innings under 400
b) Scored in the 2nd innings of a match in a team innings over 400, when the team was chasing a first innings score of over 400
b) Scored in a team innings of over 400 but the team went on to lose the match (very rare)
c) Scored in the 3rd innings of a match, except for when a team's first innings lead is over 150, and except for when by that stage a result is out of the question (which would be my own interpretation)
d) Scored in any 4th innings of a match (in some 4th innings' one could argue that a result is out of the question, but I figure that if one batsmen has time to score a century, then the bowling team has time to bowl his side out.)
What do you think?

An auditorium filled with about 500 children, nearly all dressed in red, suddenly grew quiet when the call came. The Rev. Joseph F. Barr was communicating via Skype from a sunny St. Peter's Square in Rome. He smiled broadly from a screen set up in the auditorium of Immaculate Conception School in Towson.
Barr and other Baltimore-area Catholics traveled this week to Italy to witness the elevation ofArchbishop Edwin F. O'Briento the rank of cardinal.
"It is so good to hear your voices," Barr told the children.
Barr described his surroundings, pointing to the dome of St. Peter's Basilica and the windows of the papal apartments from which Pope Benedict XVI frequently appears to bless crowds.
"I have seen pictures of Rome, but this is really great to see our priest there and seeing all of it live," said Emily Moore, an eighth-grader.
Principal Madeline Meaney said school officials learned only Thursday that Barr would be able to contact them. They tested the system early Friday morning and waited with the children for the call.
"We are getting to see our pastor in Rome," she said. "How small the world has become!"
Several children had prepared questions for Barr. Would he get to meet the pope? Barr said he did not expect a private audience but was assured that he and others would see the pope.
Why do cardinals wear red? It has traditionally signified a priest's willingness to shed his blood for his faith, Barr replied. In the elevation ceremony scheduled Saturday, O'Brien and 21 others will receive the red beretta or hat and the ruby ring.
What does a cardinal do? He gives advice to the pope and, as a member of the College of Cardinals, votes for the papal successor, Barr said.
Kindergartener Jack Donahue, the youngest questioner, wanted to know what a cardinal is. The name comes from "cardo," a Latin word for hinge. "The cardinals are the hinges for the church," Barr said.
Fourth-grader Ryan Eby wanted to know whether O'Brien, who has visited Immaculate Conception, will ever return to Baltimore.
"He will travel around the world," Barr said. "But he will visit Baltimore, too."
O'Brien has been splitting his time between Baltimore and Rome since he was named Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in August. The predominantly lay order, which dates to the Crusades, ministers to Christians and those of other faiths in historical Palestine.
O'Brien has said that until his successor is named by the pope, Baltimore-area Catholics will remain his "main preoccupation."
At the end of the call, Barr passed the microphone to Sean Caine, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Caine's trip to Rome meant missing the 7th birthday of his youngest daughter, Lucy. But his three daughters attend Immaculate Conception, so he was able to offer Lucy personal birthday greetings from the Vatican and say hello to his other daughters.

ACA sticker shock could fuel foes
The federal health care law could nearly triple premiums for some young and healthy men, according to a forthcoming survey of insurers that singles out a group that might become a major public opinion battleground in the Obamacare wars.
The survey, fielded by the conservative American Action Forum and made available to POLITICO, found that if the law's insurance rules were in force, the premium for a relatively bare-bones policy for a 27-year-old male nonsmoker on the individual market would be nearly 190 percent higher.
Story Continued Below
That isn't the sticker price many of these individuals would pay, thanks to subsidies offered with the law. But the young men with higher incomes wouldn't get subsidies, and the warning of a premium price shock for them might become a key exhibit in opponents' argument that Obamacare won't save Americans money over the long haul but would rather cost them.
The forecasts in the study are higher than most so far by allies and foes of the Affordable Care Act. But it is likely that some in the group will face increases. That's because the same new insurance market rules that will make coverage more affordable for older and sicker people will make insurance for young and healthier people more expensive.
Most other studies have tried to estimate average premium increases, which have ranged anywhere from negligible to 85 percent and higher. This survey looks at individual examples in specific markets to show the itemized impact of the major Obamacare reforms.
The insurers estimated that a healthy 27-year-old man in Austin, Texas, who pays $54 a month for insurance this year would have a $153 premium if Obamacare's market regulations were in effect.
The pressure would be the opposite but more modest for top-tier plans covering an older, unhealthy woman in Austin. Her premium would drop by 40 percent, they estimated.
But the sharp increase for some is going to make it "hard to declare victory," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum and a persistent critic of the health law.
The Obama administration should "be very, very, very afraid," he said. The country was "told it was going to make health care cheaper."
The survey asked insurers how the market reforms would affect policies for specific individuals and small groups in Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, Austin, Milwaukee and Albany.
Four or more insurers answered the questions in all of the cities except Albany. It's not a scientifically representative sample, but it reflects calculations of companies that provide coverage to most Americans, Holtz-Eakin said.
Supporters of the Affordable Care Act counter: Look at the bigger picture.
The survey looks only at the estimated increase in cost to insurers, not consumers. It does not factor in the subsides that will offset the lion's share of the premium cost for those who make less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level — about $23,400 in 2011.

text: I'm finding this very frustrating, teaching Poco what is junk mail. She just won't listen!!! I'm new to this, used a separate program until just before Christmas and I'm not techy one little bit so all those settings mean nothing to me. I found a post where Eric mentioned his settings so I copied them, he's smart so he should know. I was getting an accuracy only in the low 40's, now it's a bit better at 58 but mail with some obvious words, like 'online casino' and 'Viagra' are still getting into my In Box, and I'm getting loads of casino ones just lately. I have over 23,000 junk words and almost 9,000 good. I know you can't help me, I'm just having a moan.

Islet Cell & Regenerative Biology
Investigators in this Section seek to understand how the emerging field of regenerative biology can be applied to repair or replace tissues that are damaged by diabetes, ranging from the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cell to the various tissues that are subject to complications.
This focus extends to understanding how diabetes influences the development and function of organs and tissues. Several laboratories focus on studying the beta cell: its initial developmental specification, how it can be regenerated in the context of the developed pancreas, and how these cells might be replaced through stem-cell or induced-pluripotent (iPS) cell technologies (Bonner-Weir, Sharma, Weir).
The Blackwell lab studies the aging process, how it affects stem cells and developed tissues, and is influenced by insulin and other metabolic regulatory mechanisms.
The Wagers lab studies the developmental potential of several stem cell lineages, particularly adult stem cell types, and seeks to elucidate general principles whereby stem cells maintain regenerative capacity and developmental plasticity.
The Kulkarni lab studies the functions of differentiated pancreatic islet cells, with a particular focus on understanding mechanisms governing the beta cell proliferation. The Loeken lab investigates how the developing embryo is affected by maternal diabetes.
Recent "highpoints":
- Uncovered the importance of the transcription regulator MafA in pancreatic endocrine cell development, and demonstrated regeneration of pancreatic cells from differentiated precursors. Developmental Biology 2006 and 2009; PNAS 2008, Diabetologia 2011.
- Discovery that insulin and related signals regulate a transcription regulatory pathway that defends against oxidative, proteotoxic, and other stresses. Cell, 2008.
- Prospective isolation of regenerative skeletal muscle stem cells that can repair diseased tissue. Cell 2008.
- Direct evidence was obtained for a role for insulin receptors in the intra-islet control of glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells. Cell Metabolism 2009.
- Improved microcapsular technology for protecting transplanted insulin-producing cells. Diabetologia 2010.

What now for England?

Don't be fooled by the smiles. The Six Nations silverware only provided temporary relief from the dark cloud that descended upon England on Saturday night.
They may have ended an eight-year title drought but Ireland's victory at Lansdowne Road ensured that any celebrations were short-lived. The Grand Slam has become the benchmark in recent years, with seven clean sweeps since the competition was expanded at the turn of the century, and England's failure to complete the job will become the story of this Championship.
It is a feeling that Martin Johnson is all too familiar with, having played in the England side that was denied in such dramatic fashion by Wales at Wembley in 1999. But the England coach will waste little time in dwelling on what might have been, with the emphatic nature of Ireland's victory a more pressing concern.
A city centre billboard featuring a rose shorn of its petals rallied the home support and it proved to be prophetic as England wilted in the heat of battle. Johnson offered no excuses because there were none available to him - his side had been well beaten by an Irish side that may well wonder why they do not have another Slam to their name. They also suddenly appear to be the northern hemisphere side most likely to worry their southern rivals come the Rugby World Cup.
England's apparent fragility when it gets tough could well scupper any hopes they have of making an impression in New Zealand in a few months time. New Zealand and South Africa both outmuscled England in the November internationals and even Samoa fired a warning across their bow. While England weathered the storm offered by the rest of their Six Nations rivals those sides could not muster the intensity that a resurgent Ireland produced. It carried them past England and onto a whole new level.
England quite clearly have the physical attributes to compete with the world's best but that proved not to be enough against a insatiable Ireland side. The back-row battle, although it was not much of a contest, underlined this fact. Tom Wood, James Haskell and Nick Easter had been among England's star performers in this year's Championship, until they ran into Ireland's Sean O'Brien, David Wallace and Jamie Heaslip.
The Irish back-row ran amok, stealing ball and felling attackers at every turn. In the process they denied their English counterparts any kind of foothold in the game. The midfield battle was equally one-sided with the record-equalling partnership of Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy more than a match for Shontayne Hape and Matt Banahan, who toiled but lacked a creative spark. The midfield conundrum continues to stump the England management.
This disparity in performance hints at another potential shortfall in terms of mental toughness. England lacked the ability to break Ireland's stranglehold on the game, to change things up, and the resulting pressure led to an inevitable breaking point. The ability to make the right decisions at the right time is always key and even more so in the high-pressure environment of a Grand Slam decider. It was another area where England showed frailty.
The guilty party on this front was scrum-half Ben Youngs, who by his own honest assessment played like an "idiot". The odd misplaced kick or pass could perhaps be forgiven but the stupidity is not acceptable. He may well have been unlucky to have received a yellow card for throwing the ball away but that does not excuse his costly indiscipline that triggered flashbacks to the 'yellow fever' that plagued the early stages of Johnson's tenure.

Youngs' indiscretion can perhaps be put down to his inexperience with the Tigers' No.9 barely into double figures when it comes to Test caps. The likes of fullback Ben Foden, winger Chris Ashton, centre Matt Banahan, props Alex Corbisiero and Dan Cole and flanker Tom Wood are also noticeably light on Test match miles and it turned out to be too much of a void for the likes of Easter and fly-half Toby Flood to fill.
Johnson has always boasted that has played down the role of the captain, safe in the thought that his squad was not short of leaders, but that did not appear to be the case in the futuristic surrounds of Ireland's new home. Previous captains Lewis Moody and Mike Tindall watched helplessly from the sidelines as their side was mercilessly pulverised into submission.
Easter was unable to galvanise his troops and while their increased efforts brought some reward in the second-half they were unable to change the course of the game. Not even the introduction of the ever-reliable Jonny Wilkinson could swing the momentum England's way. Ireland were not in a generous mood.
The key to success at the World Cup is the ability to deliver under pressure so England would appear to have a significant problem, bearing in mind that Ireland are not expected to be leading the chase for the sport's biggest prize.
But while this defeat will rob them of precious momentum there are many positives from their campaign. Lessons have been taken on board from the autumn internationals and England had the beating of all but one of their northern hemisphere rivals. They played with confidence and variety in all aspects of the game before coming unstuck against the Irish. They also blooded fresh talent in the form of Wood and Corbisiero and excelled without the likes of Moody, Courtney Lawes and Tom Croft, which points to enviable strength in depth.
In truth, they are not as good as we thought and may have benefited from the shortcomings of their opponents, and a Championship lacking in high quality rugby. But they have come a long way in a year and this 'scar', as Johnson labelled it, will serve them well down the line. The much-needed experience will also come in time but perhaps not soon enough propel them to World Cup glory.

Posted January 20, 2012
Judith Haggard of Kennett, Mo., has stepped down as a member of the University of Missouri Board of Curators due to personal reasons that prevent her from fulfilling her term. Her resignation was effective Jan. 17.
"It has been an honor to work on behalf of the four campuses of the University of Missouri System," Haggard said. "I am grateful for the privilege to have served the state in this capacity."
Haggard was appointed to the board of curators in 2007 by Gov. Matt Blunt. She served as chairwoman of the curators in 2010 where she advocated for the growth of a systemwide, coordinated effort to expand learning opportunities to new and existing students. She has served as chairs of the Executive; Academic, Student and External Affairs; and Governance, Resources and Planning committees.
"Judy's passion and enthusiasm for higher education will be greatly missed," said current board chair David Bradley of St. Joseph. "She made it a personal mission to ensure that the University of Missouri remains in the top-tier in both research and education and that our campuses provide an affordable education to the state's citizens so they are equipped with the tools to become contributing members of society. We wish her all the best."
Haggard is a family nurse practitioner at the SEMO Health Network in Kennett and a past examiner for the certification of substance abuse counselors. She received her bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Missouri-Columbia and her master's degree in nursing from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She is the founder of the Dunklin County Caring Community Council, a founding member of the parent organization at MU, a member of the MU Alumni Association and an elder in her church. She has received the Community Service Award in recognition of her community work in Kennett.
The board of curators is the governing body of the University of Missouri and consists of nine members who are appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. Curators serve six-year terms. Haggard's term would have expired Jan. 1, 2013. The governor may appoint a replacement to fill the remaining portion of her term.

They're draining threes everywhere. We've seen that at certain points in the past, but right now, everyone's hitting. The Knicks have hit 30-of-63 three-pointers for a wild 47 percent rate, and seven different guys have hit at least one. (And five have hit at least four.) Obviously, that rate of success can't continue, but it's not a total fluke either: These shots have been open because the Knicks are making the right passes to get them open.
There's been some concern about the sustainability of the Knicks' three-point shooting in the early going, but I tend to agree with Will Leitch in the above. The Knicks' haven't merely been jacking up long-range bombs as we've seen in years past, where at times off-balance heaves seemed to be an actual staple of the offense, but rather the Knicks have been shooting well from outside because they've generally been moving the ball effectively and finding open shooters.
Similarly, they had little trouble adjusting in the second half against Philadelphia on Sunday when the threes weren't dropping. One area of offensive improvement I've particularly enjoyed is the Knicks have been less likely to force the ball to Carmelo Anthony when he's posting up regardless of the circumstances, but rather have used the considerable attention he draws to find other open teammates for easier buckets. Just another little benefit to the improved point guard play we've all been appreciating so far.
But the three-pointers concern strikes me a little like the "Are the Yankees hitting too many home runs?" debate from the baseball season. In the end, the problem for the Yanks had a lot more to do with NOT hitting home runs as opposed to hitting too many, and if the big question you're asking is, "Are we making too many three-pointers?" you know things are going pretty well.

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: The Lamar Cardinals have battered woman syndrome.
Pat Knight joined 790 the Zone in Atlanta with Mayhem in the AM to talk about the turnaround for the team since his postgame blowup, on people being critical of him and saying he bullied his team, if he had the support of opposing coaches after his rant, and if his players initially told him to go stick it after his rant.
On the turnaround for the team since his postgame blowup:
"Thank you I appreciate it but I got lucky. I took a chance and really thought these kids would respond and they did but that is all on them. I haven't scored a bucket or gotten a rebound these last six games. I've really been on cruise control from a coaching standpoint. It's been fun just to sit back and watch these guys play and I've been trying not to screw it up is what I have been trying to do. These guys have been unbelievable and they have been really good pretty much the whole year but we have had a couple slip-ups. I didn't want to slip up the last couple weeks of the season and that's why I did it but these guys have really responded. I have an extension of the coaching staff on the floor with my seniors, they see things on the floor, come up with good ideas, and I couldn't be more proud because I threw them under the bus. I'm not a guy that is going to sit there and sugar-coat it, I did it on purpose and really thought these guys could handle it. Will I ever be able to do it again? Probably never. This is a different group of kids I have, they're all tough kids, finally have a chip on their shoulder, and they're fun to coach. Really proud of the way they have responded the last few weeks."
On people being critical of the way he handled things and saying he bullied his team:
"I don't blame you. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but as a coach you can't worry about that. You have to do what you think is right for your team. I understand everybody's point of view but I know my team, I am there with them every day, and the thing about the drugs, everyone has got to do their investigation. I had a kid get arrested and it's in the Beaumont paper and that's why he was suspended. Now if it was something that was behind closed doors I wouldn't have brought it up. Everything I talked about was in the Beaumont papers. I'm not dumb and I'm not going to bring up more stuff to bring fuel to the fire of stuff that happens in the locker room. Trust me there was more stuff that nobody knows about. That was the drug part. I wasn't just bringing up something that nobody didn't know about."
If he had coaches supporting him:
"I had probably over 50 something coaches but you also have to understand my situation, can you do this at a bigger school? I don't think so. You're talking about kids all the time, cater to, primadonna, it's a different culture at a smaller school, and it's the purest form of…None of my kids have been bought, I have kids that are probably the third or fourth best player on their AAU team so it's a different type of kid. No way I could've done this at (Texas) Tech. A lot of things go behind it and by no way am I saying that every coach should do this. It was perfect for me, it's what I thought my kids needed, but I'm in a different situation. First year on the job, I'm trying to change the culture, a losing culture, we weren't winning, and I have kids that can handle it. I don't want people to think that I'm sitting here trying to get on a platform and say 'hey everybody should do this.' No it's your situation and every team is different. I just felt that my guys could handle it, it's what we needed for the last two weeks, and like I said I doubt if I can ever do this again because this is special group of kids I have."
If his players told him to stick it after the rant:
"Guys came and apologized to me the next day for the way they have been behaving for the last couple of weeks. We had the best practice we had in a month. I knew it could've gone either way. I could've been sitting there with my assistants with nobody to practice but the guys got the message and they knew the stuff that was going on wasn't good and it wasn't going to help us so they totally reacted the way I thought they would. (Host: How great was the celebration after you won?) Best hugs ever. Reminded me of my senior night, my last game with my dad. To see these guys that the community didn't like, calling them losers for the last three years to all of the sudden embracing them and hugging them and these guys broke down and cried. I have guys yelling I'm a champion point guard now and they will have that for the rest of their lives."

This post is dedicated to the residents of the second best state in the continental United States: California. You folks only have a little over a month left until the handsfree type of devices are required by law so we're here to help you get ready for that with some viable options for continued chatter. One option is this Bluetooth handsfree visor car kit. This device clips to the visor and acts as a speakerphone and microphone all rolled into one. What makes it stand out from the usual lot of Bluetooth handsfree speakerphones is the inclusion of an LCD screen to act as a caller ID. That way you can avoid those calls from your boss while driving. For those non-Californians, you can still enjoy this device as well. Hell, there's a chance that a handsfree-law is already in place for your state. This portable handsfree Bluetooth kit is available for $100. Or save the $100 and don't talk on the phone while driving. [Product Page via CG]
