Android P has finally been launched; it's at I/O 2018 that Google released the beta version of the latest OS. And it's full of amazing surprises that you'd be dying to try out on your smartphone. Take a look at 10 exciting Android P beta features as well as the list of compatible devices.
First of all, the list: while the past builds were made available only on Pixel phones, Android P is available on 11 devices which are
Google Pixel/XL
Google Pixel 2/XL
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S
OnePlus 6
Sony Xperia XZ2
Nokia 7 Plus
Oppo R15 Pro
Vivo X21/UD
Essential PH-1
How to Get Android P Beta on your Compatible Phone?
For those having a compatible device, simply enroll your device on Google's official website for the beta program by clicking here. Note: Whenever you wish to go back to your stock OS, you'll have to reset your smartphone, so backup your data before enrollment.
Now, since you've got the OS on your smartphone, you can enjoy these refreshed, amazing Android P beta features that seem to revolutionize Android smartphone's future.
Check Out Best 10 Android P Beta Features
App Actions
These have made a debut with Android P. App Actions a, basically, quick actions that are meant to save your time by allowing you do a task with fewer taps. They predict the actions that the user might want to perform at a specific time and/or different contextual signals. For instance, when it's time for you to leave for the office, you'll be suggested with the map routes. Or, when you want to post something on Instagram, you won't need to pass through your news feed first.
App Actions are generally placed in the app drawer, though can be found in the various parts of the user interface. You can access your specific app actions by swiping up or you can save them to your home screen as well.
Although App Actions are automatically created as per your phone usage practices and habits, you can create custom ones. All you need to do is tap and hold on the app icon of your wish. When the Quick menu shows up, tap and hold on the action you want to create a shortcut for.
Instant App Rotation
It may seem but is, by far, one of the most useful Android P Beta features. No doubt, locking screen's rotation rids you from the annoyance of your screen's frequent rotations with each little tilt of the handset. But sometimes, all you want is a quick rotation for, say, watching a short video you just received from your friend.
That's where Instant App Rotation is handy. It lets you instantly shift from portrait to a landscape (and vice versa) without touching the main orientation setting. It's found to the right of the navigation bar.
Notification Muting
Why do you keep on getting a ping for the notifications you don't need? Finally, it's noticed and with their latest OS launch, Android developers have brought you an ability to mute the notification you just dismiss without a second thought.
This is how it works: Android P keeps noting the notification (from the same app) you brush off without opening them. And after a while asks you for the permission of muting such notifications in future. Isn't that smart and intuitive?
Screen Gestures
Gesture navigation is perhaps the biggest change. The only thing is that you'll have to enable this setting on your phone. To do that, head to Settings > Gestures > Swipe up on Home Screen and toggle the option on.
After you've enabled gestures, your traditional home button will turn into a pill-shaped button located at the notification bar. When you're in an app, the back button reappears. Therefore, basically, the gestures are made for app drawer access and Recents menu.
Adaptive Battery
Among some really useful Android P beta features, this one surely gets you most excited. The Adaptive battery feature will examine your app usage pattern and use its most system resources for these apps. On the other hand, it limits battery for less-used apps, thereby enhancing your battery levels all the time. However, this has a hiccup; you may receive delayed notifications.
New DND Option
It's finally the "Do Not Disturb" it should be! Unlike earlier, the revamped DND option will both mute a notification as well as its visual alert. You can apply different DND options based on when the screen is on or off.
You may also like Google I/O 2018 Highlights: Android P, Google Assistant, and More
Screenshot Editing
The editing options for screenshots on Android P are quite similar to those found on iOS. After you take a screenshot, a notification is generated for the same. What you need to do is tap Edit on this notification and you are free to crop the image, add colored doodles at the top of it, share it, or delete it. The problem that there are no advanced options yet but it's a start…and a good start!
Magnification for Text Selection
This feature is simpler and less noticeable when compared to other Android P beta features. When you try to move the left or right ends of a selected text, you'll see a magnified rectangular bubble above the text. This feature is not available in all apps yet, so you'll have to wait for it.
Logical Volume Control
Android P overhauls volume control. Now when you adjust the volume using the physical volume buttons, it will modify only the media volume without touching the call and alarm volume no matter wherever you are on the screen. When you want to adjust the call and alarm volumes, you'll have to use the popup slider appeared after you press the physical button. You can use the small button above the volume bar to toggle between silent, vibrate, and regular volume modes.
Better Multitasking
Unlike the previous vertical stacks of multiple app previews found in earlier versions, Android P makes multitasking easier for you. It horizontally displays only a single preview of an app which is placed next to the other running app. Simply, use the pill button to move across all running apps.
Additionally, another Android P multitasking feature allows you to easily copy text from one app on the app switch screen and paste in another without fully switching to the new app.

Cancer Supermoon and New Year Musings ...
Namaste, Moon Babies and Happy (almost) New Year!
I know I said I'd see you in the New Year, but I have some sweets for you and wanted to share so you can take advantage of the momentum we have for 2018!
What a year we have coming up! The Celestial energy is powerful! 2017 was a year of 10 (2+0+1+7=10). In Tantric numerology, it represents duality and excavation. We've witnessed it on the global stage and likely to varying degrees in our own lives.
Friends, get ready for 2018, a year of mastery, illumination, and new beginnings. It's an 11 (2+0+1+8=11) year. Eleven is a sacred number and a powerful 11:11 portal is opening. We have a supermoon in Cancer on 1/1 in an 11 year, the moon is eleven degrees Cancer and the Sun is eleven degrees Capricorn. I mean seriously! 😉 ✌🏻
This can be the year we dance with our destiny if we take time to settle into our inner worlds. Yogic tools give us an advantage by shifting old energy patterns/stagnations. I'm doing a special New Year's Day FB live to show you how… deets are at the end of this newsletter.
"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." ~ Carl Sagan
Cancer is the ruler of our emotional body and related the water element. We'll notice, the more we take care of our emotions instead of being fearful, judging, dismissive, or reacting to them, the more momentum we'll have for growth, acceptance, and inspiration.
If we're flowing in calmer waters, we'll be more receptive to sensing ALL the synchronicities and signs around us. They're constantly guiding us, but we're usually too caught up in our minds and emotions to even notice them.
Make no mistake, it takes deep courage to do this, because we'll be tested every day of our lives, sometimes seemingly every hour, to come from a place of deep stillness and wisdom. As Maya Angelou said, "Courage is the greatest of all virtues."
Let this be the year you finally reach a space of deep and genuine love for this Earth walk you are on. None of us are guaranteed how long we'll be here or that it will always be easy, but what we can do is work to shift our energy patterns so we're not doing, reacting, thinking, and saying things in the same old ways we've always been. It's our job to transform and shift our energy on this great dance floor of life. YOU are the one you've been waiting for. No one else will fulfill you, accept you, or save you, it is up to YOU!
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. Maya Angelou

For the lovers of detective series like Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie, they may sometimes want to experience all the mysteries by themselves. Well, it should not be terrible things like theft and murder for sure. If there are cases that need some steps of problem solving, they must be really interesting. To enjoy such a challenge, it seems that the Escape Room Lawrenceville is a good choice. There are some games offered including the famous Paranoia Quest: Zombie & Mystery Escape the Room Games located in Atlanta.
To enjoy the games, the visitors are required to enter in teams. Each of them consists of around 6-8 people. The team is locked in the room and there is only a way to escape. Of course, some clues are given and they need to solve all of them to be out. The games are not only about solving the puzzles and the likes. The gamers must also use all their knowledge, insight, and experience so that what they want can be achieved successfully. The rooms have their own games. The ways to solve the problems are different as well. So, after enjoying one room, it is not bad for the visitors to try the others to enrich their experiences. The game of escape room needs all the members in a team to work together. There is no reason to be selfish since it is for the sake of the "safety".
There are indeed some teams who cannot escape within the time period that has been determined before. It means that they are failed. However, some other teams successfully escape only in few minutes. it saves more time so that they can just be continue to the next rooms with more challenges faster. So, for you who want to solve the real mysteries without being a real detective, Escape Room is the best place for holiday.

How being picture perfect is bad news for brands and celebs alike.
By Tasman Richardson
I've often heard people say, "Is it any wonder we feel insecure when celebrities who are already gorgeous still feel the need to digitally enhance their public image? I'm talking about removing every line on their faces, Photoshopping their bodies, etc.; and let's not forget that's after being done up by professional makeup and hair stylists. Well, celebrities, unlike us mere mortals, exist in a sort of limbo since they are rarely seen in the flesh. Imagine living your life entirely through remote representations, cardboard cut-outs, billboards, television ads, magazines. You'd be on display all the time. Not only that, but most of those displays would be larger than life magnifications of your face, which is something normally used to connect one-on-one, a tool meant to express feeling and reaction intimately and proportionately.
At that scale, both in terms of physical size and geographic coverage, the face is transformed into a symbol; it's more of a logo than a human portrait. To give that logo personal context is another challenge. A big face can't hang out with you and bond over coffee (although I have a few pals who say they'd be willing to try for that Gosling guy), so the only way to get to know these larger than life personalities is through publicity and big screen roles. All of this abstract remote information gets pooled together and forms an identity for us to latch onto. Naturally, steering a ship that big requires careful planning, so public identities need to be crafted and developed with clear direction so that there's as little backtracking and revision as possible a.k.a. damage control. Sometimes this plan goes awry of course… ahem, Lindsey Lohan.
So, taking all that into consideration, it makes perfect sense that brand identities and celebrity public identities would have a lot in common. That's why it's even more impressive when celebs like Cate Blanchett volunteer to show themselves as-is and un-doctored, which she did in a recent issue of Intelligent Life magazine. It allows us to connect to the familiar textures and weathering that we see in our own mirrors; and, because of that common ground, it lifts the curtain a little, uncovering the machinery that is constantly working to preserve the illusion and maintain the gap between us and them. Brands that offer that kind of revealing view will always win with consumers so long as the intimacy is genuine. If Blanchett had followed her au natural magazine cover with an obvious sales tie-in (cosmetics, health food, etc.), the public reaction would have been worse than rejection. It would be a memorable violation of trust, a long-lasting post-it note of skepticism that would stick itself onto the collective consciousness.
One pattern for success can be seen through the Tom Hanks/Will Smith example: start small and work your way up. Both started in television sitcoms, which mean they were in our houses weekly for years. Then they worked up to the big screen, with more comedy, some action and some thrills, winning us over by starting out as ordinary (empathize) and later taking us to extraordinary (fantasize). Both Hanks and Smith have had serious dramatic roles that were totally loved by the public. And now their brands never seem to diminish even when they do take a misstep. (I'm looking at you Larry Crowne and that goes double for you I Am Legend.)
This kind of behaviour works because as they climbed the ladder of stardom, they took the time to connect with people… and then rose above the ordinary while taking us along for the ride. Successful brands that share this story could include Apple, Google, President's Choice, and so on. We've seen this pattern reversed too. Take for example the brands and personalities that start so bold and serious, there's nowhere left to go but down. Stars like Tom Cruise come off as flawless leading men but this uber aloofness invites close scrutiny by a public that feasts on failure. Think IBM, Sony, (and just about any bank you can name).
So, while the majority of brands would like to be seen as picture perfect, it seems people are more likely to relate to companies that openly expose their humble roots. By connecting with consumers early, brands can enjoy growth without alienation.
Is there a celebrity you root for? A rag to riches brand you follow or a company you love to hate? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.

MUMBAI: Homegrown FMCG firm Godrej Consumer ProductsNSE -0.13 % (GCPL) is bullish on the prospects of e-commerce and is expecting 5 per cent of its revenues to come from this channel in the next three to four years, a top company. The company is also planning to create a separate business unit to drive e-commerce sales.
they should be at least looking at 5-odd per cent of our business coming from e-commerce in the next three to four years. they have realised that it cannot happen with e-commerce being part of customer channel. It has to be a separate business in itself. E-commerce is estimated to account for just 1 per cent of the FMCG space at present in the country, but Kataria expects it to pick up in the coming years. The company from September 1 is shifting e-commerce as a separate P&L unit, with its own innovation team, new product development pipeline and own marketing and digital team.they would like to manage it through a green channel where they focus on not only our core products going through e-commerce in a much more faster way but also enabling a lot of agile decision making which happens within the e-commerce team. Meanwhile, the maker of Cinthol, GoodKnight and Hit, among others, is also expecting double-digit growth this financial year led by strong volume growth and new launches. they are targeting a strong double-digit growth primarily driven by volume. For the past seven to eight years, roughly one-third of their growth has been coming from new product developments. they see that again as being a critical driver of the growth in coming years starting from this year. The company is planning to roll out around five innovations across categories in the first half of FY19, followed by another three or four in the second half. they further said that there has been a revival in consumption post-demonetisation and GST implementation, and rural is growing at a faster clip than urban. The rural market accounts for around 30 per cent of the company's revenue at present, which is in three to four years, they would like to take it to 35-36 per cent.they expects premiumisation to pick up across categories in both urban and rural, that had taken a hit due to demonetisation and GST.

Central Magnet Again In THE GREAT RACE
Saturday, June 15, 2019 9:23 am
MTSU junior Jacob Hendrixson wanted to be around cars and work on cars when he started Central Magnet School's Car Club four years ago.
"Now we want to race cars," said Hendrixson.
Hendrixson will compete in his second Great Race June 22-30 from Riverside, California, to Tacoma, Washington. He is the son of Sheriff's Lt. Barry Hendrixson.
Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Culp, who is the school resource officer at Central Magnet, will drive the 1953 Pontiac Chieftan nicknamed "Bonnie" in the 2,300-mile race while students navigate.
The race "is not a speed race but a time/speed/distance rally," stated the 2019 Hemmings Motor News Great Race website. "The vehicles, each with a driver and navigator, are given precise instructions each day that detail every move down to the second. They are scored at secret check points along the way and are penalized one second for each second either early or late."
The lowest score wins. The biggest challenges are staying on time, following instructions and getting an old car to finish each day, the web site stated. The race is presented by Hagerty.
"Bonnie, she's great," Hendrixson said of the car. "She is in the best shape since 1953, maybe better shape. We've done updates."
Culp said Bonnie needed an updated engine. Because of age and size of the 66-year-old car's engine, they had trouble finding parts and a mechanic to repair it. Reed Grant's Racing Engines of Kittrell rebuilt the engine in 1-1/2 years.
They swapped over from 8 volts to 12 volts and added a fan to cool the overheating engine and an electric ignition.
Because of the exact timing for the race, they borrowed a computer from Fredette Racing in Illinois to figure out the most accurate times.
The contestants use a map with directions.
"You have to be there at the exact 10th of a second," Culp said, explaining any time early or later is added to the score. "A perfect score is zero."
Central's team consists of graduates Hendrixson and Chris Johnson, who competed in the 2017 Great Race with a stop in Murfreesboro, and Central Magnet School sophomore Aaron Guthrie in his first race.
"Chris and Jacob are seasoned professionals," Culp said. "They've got to train Aaron when we get there."
Hendrixson said the two others not navigating for Culp will look for road signs, keep up with the speed through stop watches and relay information.
They've talked with other drivers and earned confidence, hoping for a first place win in their X Cup Class of colleges and high schools. They finished in second place in 2017.
Accompanying them will be Culp's wife, Jenny, a Central teacher, and mechanic Dean Holland, his wife, April, and their two daughters, Maggie, a Central 6th grader, and Annie, a 3rd grader. They will drive Bonnie to California and back in an Enterprise-discounted price truck.
Culp thanked sponsors including the Antique Automobile Club of America, the Stones River Antique Automobile Club of America and the Murfreesboro Hot Rod Club Student Group. Mark Guthrie donated the shirts. Central Magnet School supports the race.
The car will be inspected Thursday. The drivers and navigators will receive a basic overview of rule changes and participate in the Trophy Run Friday to determine the winner if there is a tie at the end of the race.
They begin the race Saturday, June 22. People may get updates on the Central Magnet School Car Club Facebook Page or the Rutherford County Sheriff's Facebook page.
Through the race stops, they will tour a museum featuring Steve McQueen's 1968 Bullitt Mustang and the Redwood Forest.
Hendrixson is anticipating a "Great Race" experience.
"We will get to see that side of the country," Hendrixson said. "Going to California and driving the backroads traveling on the West Coast will be an out-of-this-world experience, I feel like."

In our last blog post, Moving Scams and How to Avoid Them, we discussed how you should conduct research on every moving company you are considering. We also mentioned how important it is to obtain estimates from at least three different moving companies. But what exactly is an estimate, how are they done, and what is the point of them? These are the questions that we will answer below. We will also provide tips on receiving an estimate, factors that affect pricing, and how you can save a few bucks during your moving process.
A moving estimate is a best-guess about how much your individual move is going to cost. The point of an estimate is to provide you, the customer, an accurate representation of how much you will spend come moving day. When you receive a quote, this is the total cost of your entire service, not just the moving part (we will discuss what factors affect costs later).
Estimate also give you an idea which moving companies might be trying to scam you, and which ones are legitimate professionals. To learn more about how to look for moving scams, please click here.
There are so many ways to conduct an estimate, and each moving company is different. So with that being said, we are going to discuss how OUR company provides estimates.
Move It With M&S LLC has two options for customers to choose when it comes to estimates and paying: The hourly option and the flat rate option. The hourly option is based on how long the move will take. Costs vary depending on how prepared the customer is. The flat rate means we will do the entire move for an exact price- no surprises added. Special care items (pianos, antiques, grandfather clocks, safes, etc. ) are given flat rates, along with moves that have five items or less.
At Move It With M&S, we provide estimates in multiple ways. We can give phone estimates where we produce a best-guess based upon a few questions. There's also an estimate sheet conveniently listed on our website. The customer fills out their own inventory list, sends it in, and receives an email back with their estimate attached. Lastly, we conduct walk-throughs by appointment. The owners will arrive at your house at a designated time, get a feeling for how easy the move will be, fill out an inventory sheet, and prepare an estimate based upon the details they noticed. This is the most accurate form of our estimates.
When it comes to estimates, customers can have peace of mind that our quotes are coming directly from those accountable for them- the owners. Other moving companies send salesman to conduct their estimates, but not us. It's also important to note that our estimates are built into our price. We never charge for an estimate, no matter if it's a walk-through, or simply a phone estimate. Other companies can't say this either!
Moving is expensive enough, so we want you to be able to save money on your moving process.
Moving is sometimes a stressful and complicated process. It's important to understand different aspects of moving- especially estimates and pricing. Just remember that every moving company is different, so do your research and ask around, and you'll be just fine!
Keep an eye out for our next blog about large deposits, types of extra fees, asking about said fees, the benefits of paying on a card, and getting everything in writing.
[…] continue to educate others about hiring professional, trustworthy companies. Last week we discussed moving estimates, cost considerations, and tips on how to save money during the moving process. This week we are going to explore deposits and what to watch out for, extra fees and how to handle […]
I don't even know the way I finished up right here, however I assumed this publish was great. I don't recognise who you might be but definitely you're going to a well-known blogger when you are not already. Cheers!

It's been over nine months since we've last taken a hard look at what AGEIAs been up to, but we are about to catch up. We are looking into what they've been up to and also what's on slate for the coming year.
2006 was quite the year for those of you following the computer enthusiast world. Throughout last year, we saw the materialization of Conroe from Intel as well as their uber powerful Kentsfield CPU which basically mated a pair of Conroes on one chip. AMD had their answer in the form of 4×4 which places a pair of CPUs on one motherboard and while this isn't exactly original, and certainly not a first, it has its place in the hearts of the enthusiast. Also in 2006, we saw the first DX10 card in NVIDIA's 8800GTX/GTS.
Last March, we were fortunate enough to cover one of the earliest advances of the year at the GDC. It was at the GDC that Ageia debuted their PhysX card to the public. And it was at the GDC that Ageia showcased the card and what it was capable of. Ageia saw the future of PC games progressing towards more interactivity and their concept was simple: to create an atmosphere that gives the user the ability to interact with virtually anything in the game and in turn, to make the experience as realistic as possible.
There had been physics in games for quite a while and one notable company is Havok. Known for their work on the Half Life 2 series, they have a strong showing with their software driven approach to physics. Ageia saw this, but also saw the eventual limitations in the current hardware. How can a CPU and GPU alone, both being taxed by the games of the time, also calculate object interaction needed to give the games a more lifelike feel? Their approach was a simple one. Let the CPU do what it was intended to do and let the GPU do the same. They set out to build a stand alone card that would handle the in-game physics by itself and they would give the software to make it happen away for free.
At the GDC, we saw some very interesting ideas and an impressive game demo: Cell Factor. With nothing else immediately available, Ageia was waiting on the games. This would be a shared experience for Ageia and the end users who were early adopters and jumped aboard the PhysX train from the start.
Now, let's fast forward to today. It's been nearly a year since the PhysX card was unveiled and we are sitting in the exact same spot we have been since the GDC. Because of this, Ageia has taken quite a bit of heat from the press and we at Techgage haven't exactly been proclaiming the virtues of the PhysX hardware. By now, we have all read the reviews. We know of initial performance drop in games when PhysX is enabled but thankfully this was an issue that Ageia corrected quickly. We have also read about how the card is overpriced for the additional "wow" that it adds to games. And keeping that in mind, there really haven't been that many games to add any wow to.
Another concern of Ageia, at least initially, was the news that ATI and NVIDIA both had plans to address the handling of game physics. They claimed that this could be done by existing hardware that power users might have lying around. This would be made possible by the use of a third, less powerful graphics card in the place of the PhysX card. Until recently however, very few motherboards included the three necessary PCI-E slots needed to use three GPUs. This made sense at the time too. How many people upgrade their video cards frequently enough to still have a very capable card just sitting idly? I would be willing to bet that not too many people have such a card lying around.
Since the GDC though, there really hasn't been much mention of this approach by either camp, making Ageia the only true company to address, and carry out, the issue of computer game physics. If you want this editor's honest opinion, the announcement from ATI and NVIDIA was nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to steal some of the spotlight away from Ageia. While what they said can be done, there has not been any really progression of this technology since. Needless to say, at this point and time, I don't see either party endangering Ageia all that much. So with ATI and NVIDIA out of the picture as an immediate threat, I only see two major threats to Ageia and their PhysX approach to PC game physics.
Threat One: Multi-core CPUs
Just a few days ago, Rob took an in depth look at Intel's "budget" quad core Q6600. In his review, the CPU truly shined in multi-threaded apps. When a program was written to take advantage of processors with more than one core, the benefits of owning such a CPU are evident. Intel has released a small little "game" called Ice Storm Fighters that does a good job showing just how well a program can run when coded to use more than one core. In the demo/game, you have the ability to toggle each core on and off individually. If you scale back to only one core being used, you see a significant drop in frame rates and as you turn more on one by one, the performance of the game scales nicely.
It's this multi-core technology that I see being Ageia's largest external threat. Not ATI or NVIDIA but rather, the programmers who could decide to offload the physics onto one core, rather than use the PhysX card.
This can be argued against though by bringing up games such as Alan Wake. This is a game that has an incredible buzz surrounding it. Showcasing DirectX 10, it not only looks great, but does so using as many cores as it can. Developers that take this approach will could use one or two for the primary processing, one solely for enemy AI and still have an extra core to use for physics. At CES, we spoke with Intel for a while about their eight core PC. Using a pair of quad core Xeons on a dual socket server motherboard, the PC proved to be an unrivaled beast. This is what I feel Ageia's biggest threat is.
Threat Two: Ageia and the Game Developers
Without wanting to sound like a broken record, Ageia truly needs games to sell their technology and their cards. Without quality games, Ageia is doomed to roam "hardware with great potential" purgatory in the PC history books. We have all seen Cell Factor, but it's a demo. We have all seen Ghost Recon: Advanced War Fighter. Let's face it, a demo and a game patch won't exactly drive demand for the PhysX card through the roof. However, there is hope for Ageia in the coming year. They were showing off a few new games at CES this year as well as a closer to completion Cell Factor.

Shopping in St Neots...
Are you a Lidl's snob?
If you have got more money than sense then stop reading!
Otherwise let me explain.
I was a Lidl snob until about 3 & half years ago. I would not have stepped foot in the place only because of what I had heard, but never actually checked it out myself.
One day in conversation about the cost of living someone told me about a couple of products they said were far better than other supermarkets and nearly half the price. (like me this person is a bit of a "foodie" so I decided to give it a try)
Since that day I am happy to say I shop at Lidl for over 60% of our weekly food and reckon I save about 20%. We only using Tesco's for out of hours, exceptions and products that they don't stock.
Don't get me wrong not all the stuff they sell is nice, but we will try things once and you will be very surprised. They also have some amazing offers….
Please see below a few examples & comparisons.
250gm chilled stuffed pasta 75p - £1.60 elsewhere
2ltr Milk £1 - £1.18 elsewhere
300gm Chocolate bar (cadbury's equiv) 35p
1 litre Non bio washing liquid £2.65
6 Large wraps 69p – 90p elsewhere
Waffles 55p – 85p elsewhere
Tinned chopped toms (arrabaita, garlic & onion or with herbs 41p – 69p elsewhere
Family Lasagne £2.69 (easily feeds 4) – £3.85 elsewhere
10 Cornettos (their own) £2.29 – Same price but smaller elsewhere
Crushelle Toilet rolls (24) Usually £9.99 but regularly on offer at £6.79
Salsa dip 75p – £1 elsewhere
Bacon 250gm £1.39 – £2.19 elsewhere
10 Med Eggs 99p - Same pricing
Mince 500gm on offer £1.04 or £2.10 – £3 elsewhere
1 kg Frozen Sweetcorn £1.44 - £1.80 elsewhere
Chicken Thighs £2.69 - £3.99 elsewhere
Orange / Apple Juice 1ltr 79p - £1.00 elsewhere
2 litre Pepsi (On offer has been 89p) - £1.50 elsewhere
250gm Coleslaw 59p - 70p elsewhere
Comparisons against other large supermarkets are as a guide and have tried to find nearest equivalent. E & OE.
All the staff are very helpful and friendly and no I don't have links with Lidl's in any way shape or form, I am just writing this to help St Neots residents find a way of possibly saving some money and getting in some cases better quality food and products.
If you use lidl and have other product you think are great value, agree, disagree or have used them because of this please comment, share or RT..

Kelly Ireland is our 2nd in command, the Chief Operations Officer of Drumming up Hope. He hails from Grand Junction, CO but lives in Loveland, CO with his lovely wife and our Chief Financial Officer, Vickie Heaton-Ireland. He has been playing drums professionally for nearly 42 years. He was 4 years old when he pulled his mom's pots and pans out and started beating on them with knives. It was an innate thing for him. Mom bought him a drum kit for his 5th birthday and it was ON! By his 6th birthday a babysitter had given him Sgt. Pepper, so his primary influence was Ringo Starr. Other musical influences have been Buddy Rich, Chick Webb, Vinnie Calaiuta, Neil Peart. He has played in many bands, including the Country Rockers (he was 12), Rein Driver, the Trashhawks, Out-a-lyn, Legacy, the Top Hands, the original bands Yield & Voltage to Violets, Machine Gun Kitty, Snake Alley Driver, Eclectic, and the Santa Fe Band. He is currently playing in 4 bands: the Midnight Growlers Band, the BarHoppers, Buzz Brothers Band, and the Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band, "Street Survyvors."
Kelly is a firm believer in authentic and passionate playing. His band mates can always count on him to play the music as it was written, and with passion... he says that, "everyone makes mistakes but you can't fake passion. Stick twirls and flashy fills serve their purpose, but there is not higher purpose than for the drummer to groove & make the people feel good."
Kelly built a Neil Peart replica kit last year and he currently plays it, and various versions thereof, in the Midnight Growlers Band. Drums consist mainly of 92 Slingerlands and a few others. Hardware and stands are a mish-mosh of Ludwig, Slingerland, and Yamaha. Cymbals are a combination of Sabian and Zildjian. Pedals are DW 5000's. Heads are Evans hydrolic reds, sticks are Vic Firth 7a.
Kelly has a considerable amount of formal education through Jr. High, High School and College. He took lessons extensively from Denver area drummer Gary LaFrancois.
You can find Kelly on his facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/kelly.ireland.503 and www.midnightgrowlersband.com

Little Kids Day Out Working Party Chair
On behalf of the amazing LKDO committee I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our event and wish you an amazing day.
This tears event would not have been possible without the hard work of our committee, hundreds of volunteers and support of our partners, sponsors and supporters who enable us to provide the event FREE to all the children in our region.
We thank all the early learning centres and school in the region for supporting the LKDO.
Grace Grace
Minister for Education
The Palaszczuk Government is proud to support Little Kids Day Out in Gympie again this year. This popular community event is celebrating its 5th year in 2018, with almost 3,000 people expected to flow through the gates.
More than 250 volunteers from 126 local organisations are set to attend.
This event is about more than just face painting and farm animals. Its aimed at showing parents the value of play based learning in the early years and reiterating the important roll they play as a child's first teacher at home.
It's also important that families are given the opportunity to connect with their local early childhood and care providers, to give their children the best start to life.
I commend the organisers for creating such a successful event and I wish you luck in 2018.
Cr Mick Curran BM
Gympie Regional Council
It is well known that the first years of a child's life are crucial for their development into adulthood. As a father myself, I know the importance of giving our children the best possible start, but parenting is not easy, and not always straightforward.
LKDO is a nationally recognised event which allows parents to connect with services that can assist with providing information and tools to give our kids a head start in their education.
Awareness around the importance of events such as LKDO is growing, and I would like to make special mention of the members of the organising committee who, with their dedication, are making sure the educational welfare of our region's children is continuing.
Gympie's LKDO would not be possible without the tireless work of hundreds of volunteers and the support of many local businesses, as well as Gympie Regional Council and the State Government. In 2017, the event was recognised in the Gympie Regional Australia Day Awards for Community Event of the Year, a fitting acknowledgement of a growing community event.
This year's LKDO acts as a precursor to the When We Were Young publication launch later this year. This fascinating book is comprised of one hundred interviews from people who live or lived in the Gympie region as a child. Many of the stories depict life along with the excitement and hardships of growing up in Gympie between 1920 and 1970.

Currently following an schematic for NanoPI NEO4 to make my own RK3399 board. On their schematic for the K4B4G1646D-BCK0,I noticed for pins DQ1-DQ15 on both chips connect to a randomised list of connectors from DDR0_D1 to DDR0_D31 and I was wondering why is that?
And also why are the numbers on the connectors different to the lines that they're connecting to, for example DQ7 I would expect it to connect to DDR0_D7 but instead it connects to DDR0_D3.
Second question in relation to the LDQS(F3)/LDQSN(G3) & UDQS(C7)/UDQSN(B7) connectors I plan to change out the ram chips for a different chip which is more widely available to purchase (AS24C256M16D3LB-BIN); however I've noticed that the LDQS/LDQSN & UDQS/UDQSN pins are completely missing from the datasheet and instead have been replaced with DQSL (F3/G3) & DQSU (C7/B7). So I was wondering how do I exactly go about connecting these up to the previously available connectors on the RK3399?
Finally I noticed on the manifesto for the Nanopi Neo4 that its meant to use 1GB of DDR3 Ram but in the schematic these K4B4G1646D-BCK0 are actually 4GB each so I was curious as to whether the wiring they have in their schematic for the DDR Controller on the RK3399 & DDR3 schematic properly utilises the 2 4GB DDR3 ram and allows the RK3399 to have the 8GB DDR3 ram readily available?
If anyone able to help answer and/or point in the direction of an answer, would be greatly appreciated.
**Neo4 Spec List* Samsung Webpage for the K4B4G164D-BCK0 can be access via the link below: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dram/ddr3/K4B4G1646D-BCK0/
Edit: I was doing some digging about in the schematic and I noticed that the DQLS & DQSU on the AS24C256M16D3LB-BIN is essentially the LDQS & UDQS but the letters have been placed in a different order, so I would assume those are the pins I would be connecting. And as there is no connector with an 'N' on the end I would also assume I would simply be connecting up to DDR0_DQS0P-DQS3P and just ignoring the DDR0_DQ0M-DQ3M connectors on the RK3399?

Drop the Mic
Based on a popular segment on "The Late Late Show With James Corden" and emceed by rapper-actor Method Man and model Hailey Baldwin, "Drop the Mic" invites celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, music, sports and pop culture to compete in rap battles. Episodes feature four players in head-to-head battles, creating moments packed with lyrical creativity and "Did you hear that?" moments. Studio audience votes determine the mic-dropping winner of each battle. The talent lineup includes Anthony Anderson, Nicole Richie, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Tony Hale, Vanessa Hudgens, James Van Der Beek, and members of Rascal Flatts and Boyz II Men.
Deal or No Deal
A contestant must choose from 26 sealed briefcases containing a marker for various amounts of cash from one penny to $1 million. The player then eliminates the remaining 25 cases one by one. The chosen ones are opened and the amount of money inside revealed. After several cases are opened, the player is tempted by the Banker to accept an offer of cash in exchange for not continuing the game and possibly winning a larger sum of money.
Cash Cab
Various networks
In this offbeat game show, players picked up in the Cash Cab have to answer trivia questions with mounting cash values before they reach their destination in order to win. If a player answers incorrectly three times, he is kicked out of the cab without any money. Help options include a Mobile Shout-Out (phone call) and Street Shout-Out (asking a stranger on the street). Once the player reaches his destination, he can leave the cab with his winnings, if any, or risk them on a more difficult question. A correct final answer doubles his winnings; an incorrect answer means he leaves the cab with no money at all. Comic Ben Bailey takes the cab's wheel as host.

Synopsis for "Hush Beyond, Part V: Blood in Black Alleys"Edit
Nora Reid is running through an alley and manages to contact Barbara Gordon only to be cornered by Blaine Emmick, the head of Cadmus Special External Security. Nora runs off. Meanwhile, Dick Grayson a.k.a. Hush stands over Batman and discovers he is still alive but leaves him alive and runs off. Catwoman then discovers Batman unconscious and Bruce contacts her and tells her on how to heal Terry. Bruce then reveals he knows that Catwoman's secret identity is Danton Black's daughter. Bruce continues to tell her how to heal Batman only for his Bat-Wraiths to attack him. Meanwhile, Blaine has captured Nora only to saved by the one-eyed Dick Grayson. Bruce continues to get attacked by his Wraiths only for them to then fly off, revealing that they are under the control of Hush. Catwoman manages to bring Batman back to consciousness. Bruce then needs Terry to come to the cave. Batman leaves but not before giving Catwoman a little peck on the cheek. At Cadmus Labs, Blaine is taken to the emergency wing and one of Amanda's friends suggest they send Killer Croc after Hush but Amanda refuses, saying Killer Croc would just make things worse. Dick then brings Nora to Barbara and Nora reveals her grandfather was Thomas Elliot, the original Hush. She then reveals that Waller had plans to clone Dick Grayson so he could become the new Batman as Waller believes that Gotham needs a Batman and the clone was a success but the clone went mad and escaped, going to claim his rightful place as Batman.

White Car Syndrome.
White Car Syndrome.
I also read before that women tend to select the color white over all colors. I also found this in a link, "White indicates a conservative nature and is a color suggestive of innocence and purity. This description might be a hard one to match with most drivers of white cars!" Which I could link the study that I read about women and cars painted white. Link went as far as to say that if you're single, you have a greater chance of landing a girl if your car is painted white.
I have to admit that my first choice was Pearl White but because of the premium, I will stick with white for my car. Previous colors of my cars were black and midnight blue so I'm changing it up for that reason. I also will not go black leather interior because my Honda Accord V6 was black leather and I drove it for way too long. I'm also sick of the black leather interior but am not sure what to go with yet but I digress... :)
OK, this site is nowhere near politically correct and maybe offensive to some but it was the closest I could find to making my point so... for a lack of a better link, here you go!
I will get the black. I am not too keen on the colors and my wife prefers "Any color other than white". So, that is set for me.
@petero, the reason why white is the most common color in India is because it the de-factor color for almost all cars. Any other color is a premium, and hence, costs more. (This is what I "think" is the reason).
~ Prash.
I don't remember where I read it, but white cars have a slightly higher average resale value.
Perhaps the trend is helped by all those MacBooks and iPhones in white. And I've been told that white is safer as seen by statisticians looking at accident reports. Not sure if the driver who picks white for a car is part of the issue.
Taxis here in Boston are (mostly) white; delivery vans are white; washing machines are white. For me, white doesn't bespeak a high-end car. It helps, of course, that we don't have the same issues with solar heating that sun-belt drivers face.
I'm dithering among black, blue, and green. My wife and I need to see real samples in the sunlight before we'll make that call!
My previous car was a black body and black interior. My current car is a white body with tan interior. I was quite surprised by the difference in summertime solar heat absorption between the two vehicles. I live in the Southwest. My S will be white with the tan interior. The less I have to use the A/C to keep the interior cool, the farther I will be able to drive the car between charges. I guess the same could be said for black on black if you lived in a cold climate and had to heat the car for much of the year. TM says using higher consumption accessories like climate control will reduce range approximately five to ten percent. That could be a significant factor on a long drive between charging opportunities and in the end, increase the operating cost of the S by more frequent charging to replace the energy consumed by the heater or A/C. My point is that the body and interior color you choose does matter beyond esthetics, and if you live in a hot climate, white is a very logical choice in body color.
Interesting -- my wife specifically told me "No white", and "No black." She was pretty direct about it... white gets dirty too easily, black gets too hot in the CA sun.
This also applies to the interior, so it really limits my choices... I've had gray/silver cars for the past 12 years, definitely need a change.
I think the white would look great, and maybe I could still convince her of that, but I think my choices have been made for me by process of elimination: Sig red + tan interior.
I'll definitely have a better idea this weekend, since I'm near the Santana Row store.
Don't forget that white is the color most often chosen for fleet vehicles which skews the results of any "preference" data. Also, I've heard that insurance companies like white but not sure if this is actually true.
I know red is more expensive to insure and is more likely to be pulled over for a speeding ticket statistically speaking.
On sports cars, yes.
I'm not sure if it holds true for burgundy and sedans (though with Perf S you're pretty much stuck I think).
Maybe someone has formal statistics.
Re: red cars
Sometimes I feel that my gray Odyssey is invisible. I'm kind of a stickler for following the speed limits (drives my wife insane) but on more than a few occasions I've had the car in front of me get picked off.
Good observation about the insurance though - I should call my ins co and ask.
Maybe I'm gray + piano + (off)white leather after all...

GEICO never asked me what colors my vehicles are to quote their insurance in Calif. Is it coded in the VIN? (There was a thread on that, and I recall not.)
My wife has typical "white car syndrome": She always only wants to buy: White, White, or White! (she's Taiwanese-American -- don't know the car color preferences over there). She married me, and I'm White, too. We even have white cabinets in our home -- which I think are atrocious and look like they belong in a medical office! She also kept all the walls painted white by the builder. BORING! (Naturally, she has a white iPhone, iPad 2 and netbook, too.)
So far, we've had the following white/gray leather vehicles:
1983 BMW 528e sedan
1984 Mercedes E320 sedan
2000 Mercedes ML320 SUV
The only times we didn't get white it simply wasn't available with the loaded options I wanted, e.g. a couple Jeep Cherokees in the 1990's (Metallic Blue and Black), and a Honda Ody soccer mom minivan (Silver) we only kept for a few years. She went along with my choice of black/black for a 2007 CLK 550 Cabriolet (4 years - my mid-life crisis car) to match its black soft top.
She also got stuck with black/black for our 2011 E350 Bluetec diesel sedan, because white didn't exist in the Western US with all the options we wanted, our CLK lease was expiring so no time to custom order, and the 24 mo. lease was a steal @ $592.43/mo fully-loaded including CA taxes. Now she just can't stand it anymore (BLACK) and so wants to replace it after only 16 months with... "WHITE"! what else?
Today we visited our local Benz store. First, she looked at Benz's "Artic" white and proclaimed: "it's not WHITE enough", so, instead:
"Diamond White Metallic" (+$1,515 like Tesla's "Pearl White") 2012 Mercedes ML350 Bluetec. This is one of the frunkless ICE alternatives to the Model X, except only a 5-seater. Their new GL that comes out this summer is a closer comparable with 7 seats. Anyway, fully-loaded the MLS is $66,340 MSRP, but we can buy it for $2,000 below "invoice" through USAA's program, which is only $59,759 (without sales tax and fees). We're thinking of leasing it for the next 24 months while we wait for Model X deliveries to begin in early 2014. It gets 20/27 MPG - not bad for a heavy ICE SUV, and diesel is now priced between regular and premium. Normally, we buy heavy SUVs to write them off in our business, but my wife smartly pointed out that we don't want to be "stuck" with an ICE long term, so should lease. She thinks there will be a transition to EV's, and ICE vehicle resale values will plummet, especially if gas prices at the pump keep trending upwards.
Anyway, we've delayed any decision on the fate of the black sedan until after I take her to see the "X" prototype and the 4 Signatures on Friday. If you're there early during Friday's session and see an Asian-American lady staring at the Pearl White Signature -- that's probably her! :-)
Thanks to my wife's syndrome, it should be easy to convince her to go along with my Model S Performance upgrade, since it will be either "WHITE" or "PEARL WHITE"!! :-) I'll use the alternate close I learned in a Dale Carnegie course too many years ago. Instead of asking her if we should buy the performance model, I'll simply ask: "Dear, would you prefer we get it in 'WHITE' or 'PEARL WHITE'?" Assume the "sale", and ask a simple question resulting from it.
Today she said we don't need to buy 2 Tesla's, an "S" and an "X", since we normally drive together anyway, and have old ICE back-ups. She thinks we should just wait for the "X", since it is more versatile. I tried to convince her we should get our "S" this year, regardless. Then, if the "S" is popular once normal non-EV-fanatical non-early-adopter people get to test drive it, I predicted that Tesla may end-up pre-reserving all of 2013's "S" production, too. TSLA = $100/share at end of 2013??? If that happens, and we (she) decided to switch to an "X" for 4x4 in early 2014, there will be very high resale value for our "S". Unfortunately, she didn't buy it...
I normally despise white for a car because it normally screams corporate or gov't "fleet vehicle" in the US - plain and lame. However, for vehicles that are not sold for fleet use in the US, such as the high-end brands of Mercedes-Bens and Jaguar, those cars look very classy in white - they are distinctive enough in style that you do not, for even a second, mistake one for a white Chevy Malibu, Toyota Camry or Ford Escape that is owned and operated by the local utility or local gov't.
More importantly for EVs, white significantly reduces the A/C load in the summer. The Mythbusters tested two identical vehicles (model year, trim level, interior colors, configurations, etc., all identical), except that one had black paint and one had white paint (all from the factory, not an after-market job). The vehicles were placed in an open parking lot separate from each other and well away from poles, trees or buildings, facing the same direction, and left to sit in the San Fransisco sun all day. The temperature sensors were identical, calibrated models with digital readouts, the sensors were mounted on the driver's headrest facing forward, where the testers could read the temps every hour without opening the car doors.
The black car peaked at approx. 143F, while the white car peaked at approx. 129F. That means, not only is the air that much warmer in the black car, but the interior surfaces and such are essentially that hot, as well. So, that's a huge difference in cooling load to not only cool down the air but to cool down the surfaces that keep radiating the heat to the air that passes over them.
What difference it makes in actual energy consumption to cool it down, I don't know. Given the fact that A/C operation is estimated to dock as much as 10% of range during use, I'd be willing to wager that a white EV will be able to go farther than a black EV, all else being equal.
Hm, wonder how "Silver" would have done in that test. In the middle? Or cooler?
In winter, btw, I would expect the black car to be colder, as it radiates more, too. Sunlight coming in the windows would be converted to heat at a higher rate, but would be dumped faster, too.
@Brian H: So why does the black car radiate more in winter, yet absorb more in San Francisco sun?
Absorptivity equals emissivity.
In winter, the heat source is internal. In summer, it's external.
So black is worse in summer, but it's also worse in winter. There may be points in the spring and fall when it's just right.
I want the Plano roof. Would that look better with black or white?
You can see for yourself in the design studio. I think they both look very nice.
@Brian H: Tom A quoted a Mythbusters experiment with two cars, one black, one white, both sitting (off) in the sun. The black was hotter. I expect that if the same experiment was done on a sunny day in a cold winter spot, the black car would be warmer then, too.
Those of us who have entered a hot car on a sunny day know that the point of this discussion is to avoid that uncomfortable heat. Using the Model S remote control and with its infrared blocking glass (front, back and panoramic?) this won't be a significant issue. But, yes, a white car would use up less charge in getting cooler than a black one. Depending on how Tesla implements the climate control (e.g., does it flush the hot air out with external air by fan?), the amount of charge used could vary considerably, but for most cases, this is not an important issue: will anyone ever run out of charge before getting home because the car is black?
Your point that a black car would be colder in winter is dependent on the heat source being inside the car, which would occur once the car is "started" or running. I thank you and Leofingal for pointing out the emissivity concept, which I am still digesting. But I'm guessing the amount of heat lost to the winter environment due to your car being black (vs. white) while driving would be almost immeasurable in comparison to everything else happening. (E.g.: does the wiper speed affect the heat loss when it's raining?)
For me, the main difference is how often I would have to wash the car. And black cars need washing much more than white, IMO.
As of now, I've decided to solve this problem by getting the Sig Red, by deciding the amount of emissivity either way is not an issue, and because I'm hoping I like the color!
@engle: (late reply) If you really want the X, tell your wife (truthfully) "Tesla hasn't said if the X will be available in white -- so far, it's only in Titanium and Dark Bay."
I am still curious about the black being colder in winter which Brain suggests. I do not see why black would suddenly start deflecting sunlight because it's cold out at a higher ratio than white. The black car should still be warmer than the white just not as extreme as in summer. The sunlight is still an external source of heat no matter what time of year it is.
Typically it takes more electricity to heat the car up in general than it does to cool it off. If the interior is 120 degrees and you want it at 70 you can dissipate about 20 degrees just by opening the windows. If the car is 20 degrees and you want it at 70 you can't open the windows and gain heat since it is only 20 degrees out.
Problem is, I fell in love with the black nappa leather with the red trim on the Model S Performance on the Design Studio so I guess I'll be taking the performance hit to keep my car cool. I don't mind heat so much however, it's the cold that I can't tolerate!
@Sudre_: "black being colder in winter":
If the interior of the car is warm but the outside is cold, then eventually the body of the car will be warmed by the car's heater. The heat conducted to the inside of that black body (nerd pun intended) will radiate that heat faster to the outside than a white body would.
Given the interior wall of the car and the space between the interior finish and the exterior body acts as a significant insulator, and the slow rate of radiation from the car, I don't see this as important in making a decision on color, especially for cold climates.
And on sunny, cold days (yes, we do have those!), the black paint will absorb extra solar radiation.
@BYT - "I'll be taking the performance hit to keep my car cool"
Nice double meaning there. :P
Thanks brianman, I have my moments... :D
Found this info on Wikipedia regarding car color and safety:
Vehicle colour
A Swedish study found that pink cars are involved in the fewest and black cars are involved in the most crashes (Land transport NZ 2005). In Auckland New Zealand, a study found that there was a significantly lower rate of serious injury in silver cars; with higher rates in, brown, black, and green cars. The Vehicle Colour Study, conducted by Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) and published in 2007, analysed 855,258 accidents occurring between 1987 and 2004 in the Australian states of Victoria and Western Australia that resulted in injury or in a vehicle being towed away.[14] The study analysed risk by light condition. It found that in daylight black cars were 12% more likely than white to be involved in an accident, followed by grey cars at 11%, silver cars at 10%, and red and blue cars at 7%, with no other colours found to be significantly more or less risky than white. At dawn or dusk the risk ratio for black cars jumped to 47% more likely than white, and that for silver cars to 15%. In the hours of darkness only red and silver cars were found to be significantly more risky than white, by 10% and 8% respectively. However, no study on the relation between car color and safety is scientifically conclusive. [15]
We do know that those colors were not randomly assigned to drivers. It is not unreasonable to think that those who pick pink for a car color will drive differently than those who pick black.
"Polling of drivers found that pink cars are involved in fewer accidents* because they are given a wide berth because [a] like 'student driver' vehicles people are wary of them and [b] other drivers don't want pink paint on their vehicles."
All good studies need footnotes:
"* Note that this was direct accidents with the pink vehicle. Some polled reported that there were accidents of nearby vehicles as they were distracted by the pink vehicle."
Saw the pearl white with pano roof last week at the Oak Brook store. The pano roof on a white vehicle almost achieves a convertible car image as the pano can 'disappear' under certain conditions, and other times be a bold contrast. I'm not paying more for the pearl, but white with pano and gray leather with lacewood is now my preference.
Several historic and some unproven reasons.
* white goods (appliances) are cheaper if just painted plain white -- this doesn't necessarily apply to cars which can have special paint processes (eg. tri-color, or pearl white)
* about 20 years ago there was a study that noted white was the most visible color for cars and thus safest -- not sure the validity of this though as I read a couple years ago of another color that was being pushed for safety (yellow), and now it seems to be silver -- how does this change? I suspect originally, it was just a statistic of colors of cars in accidents and either that has changed (naturally), or now we are just seeing opinions.
* dark glossy black is very difficult to stay sharp -- static attracted dust or dried minerals from rain water show up as if they were white -- about 2hours after you just washed and waxed the car
* white and lighter colors do look better for longer after a car wash
* white will reflect more heat when parked in the sun -- likely just something good for the paint as the absorption or reflection isn't enough to impact the cabin temperatures
* black cars look sweet at night (can't see the dust)
* clean black cars look sweet always
* black cars with smoked windows have a classy aire
According to one study, white and silver cars are two percent more 'fuel' efficient than black ones. Translates to six miles :-)
From the description, I can't tell if the 2% would apply to normal use of a car. It might only apply if you live in Arizona and keep your car parked outside and only start driving after the car heats up and you don't go very far.
Anyway, it's clear that in hot, sunny climes a silver or white car would be more efficient regarding AC use, not less.
In sunlight, the interior of the car is more heated by sunlight through the glass than conducted through the body. So even in winter, the primary source of heat is "interior". So I suspect that color of seats etc. has at least as much impact as body color.
I wish I knew where this notion that white cars show dirt comes from. When I was a teenager, both my parents' cars were white (BMW's "Alpine White"). It was my job to wash them. I was always amazed to find how much dirt came off of a car that looked perfectly clean. The white just got... dimmer. It never looked dirty unless you had kicked up a lot of mud or something.
I will be doing white on my Model S, I'm pretty sure. I'm waiting to see the standard and premium white options in person before deciding, but I sure like the fancy one. I really like the silver option as well, but I've been driving a silver-ish car for the last 10 years, so I think it's time for a change.
It's kind of the exterior and interior are opposites. Shiny surface in bright light, dirt on black is light; on white, it's pale grey at worst. On matte flexible interior surface, it's dark. So the most dirt-hiding combo is white exterior, black interior!!
