| 2008 British Motor Show: AC Schnitzer | | 2008-07-12 08:39:00 | | July 10, 2008: The traditional British International Motor Show is almost as old as the car: It took place for the first time back in 1903 in the legendary Crystal Palace, which was once built for the world exhibition in London.Between 23rd July and 3rd August 2008 the automobile industry bestows the honour on the ExCel exhibition and conference centre. Alongside car manufacturers more and more renowned international tuners, such as AC Schnitzer, are using the event to present their products.“In Europe Great Britain is one of the most important markets for our vehicles”, says Susanne Müllejans, marketing manager of the Aachen-based company, AC Schnitzer.“Our local importer promotes us at the trade fair, so that logistics costs for our parent company remain manageable.

| It turns out British Lit is not all that helpful in real life. | | 2008-07-11 21:05:00 | | I only got a B? A B? Okay, a B+, but still...Oh, hi there. How are you? Don't mind me; I'm a little distraught. I just went and checked out my Bills IQ over at Bills.com . The "Bills IQ" is a measure of how smart a person is when it comes to credit, spending, saving, and financial planning. I figured, as a guy with a professional degree who frequently advises other people on what to do with their money, as well as a guy who once got a 108 -- that's 8 points extra credit -- on a test about British Literature, I'd ace this thing.Then I got a B+. So I'm not "excellent" in finances, and that came as a surprise to me. But I guess it should not have, since finances are complex things and even those of us who spend a lot of time thinking about it and a little time reading the business section can be buffaloed by the whole thing.Getting buffaloed in a financial context can mean a lack of savings, or high credit card debt, or even bankruptcy or foreclosure.

I’ve been hearing some…well, disturbing things lately and I just wanted to touch base and see if you were okay.I will admit it’s been too long since we last saw each other. 11 years to be precise, since I made my way to the Pacific and back. It seems lot’s has changed since then.As you know, Alberta’s been riding an economic boom unlike anything we can remember. Times are good (as long as you’re in a business related to oil), and even though we have our…um…difficulties? – rising number of homeless, skyrocketing housing and living costs, fast food restaurants closing at 3:00pm due to staffing shortages – we’ve been able to keep things afloat.We’ve been able to keep it together over the whole American enviroNazi ‘dirty oil’ smear of our oilsands development, and have kept the Treehuggers and their ‘sky is falling’ dogma at bay for the most part.This brings me to the point of the letter:A frea | | By: The Moderate Separatist | | |

'We're in a nasty environment,' Mr Tim Bond, the British bank's chief equity strategist, was quoted as saying in a report by the Telegraph yesterday.'There is an inflation shock under way. This is going to be very negative for financial assets. We are going into tortoise mode and are retreating into our shell. Investors will do well if they can preserve their wealth.'Barclays Capital said in its closely watched Global Outlook that US inflation would hit 5.5 per cent by August, and the Fed would have to raise interest rates six times by the end of next year to prevent a wage spiral, the paper reported.Mr Bond was quoted as | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| Most complex crop circle ever discovered in British fields | | 2008-06-20 09:27:48 | | Hi guys,The most complex, "mind-boggling" crop circle ever to be seen in Britain has been discovered in a barley field in Wiltshire.The circle is a coded representation of pi to the 10th significant figure The formation, measuring 150ft in diameter, is apparently a coded image representing the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, of pi. Michael Reed, an astrophysicist, said: "The tenth digit has even been correctly rounded up. The little dot near the centre is the decimal point."The code is based on 10 angular segments with the radial jumps being the indicator of each segment. "Starting at the centre and counting the number of one-tenth segments in each section contained by the change in radius clearly shows the values of the first 10 digits in the value of pi." Lucy Pringle, a researcher of crop formations, said: "This is an astounding development - it is a seminal event."

For those in search of a perfect slice of Greece and the chance of a bargain, however, it is worth taking the longer ferry ride to Naxos or Amorgos. All the islands can be reached by ferries that run daily from the mainland ports of Piraeus or Rafina; journey times vary between two and seven hours, depending on the distance and the company you use.If you harbour dreams of renovating a traditional ruin, you may well be disappointed.

| [Wikipedia] April 17: Dawson Creek, British Columbia | | 2008-04-17 17:13:22 | | Dawson Creek is a small city in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. It covers an area of 20.66 square kilometres (8 sq mi) with a 2006 population of 11,615 people. Dubbed "The Capital of the Peace", it is a service centre for the rural areas south of the Peace River and the seat of the Peace River Regional District. Dawson Creek turned from a small farming community to a regional centre when the western terminus of the Northern Alberta Railways was extended there in 1932, and the US Army used that terminus as a transshipment point in 1942 during the construction of the Alaska Highway. Most of the city's development occurred between 1942 and 1966 when highways and railways were built connecting the farming area of the Peace River Country to the rest of BC through Dawson Creek. Dawson Creek derived its name from the creek of the same name that runs through the city. The creek was named after George Mercer Dawson by a member of his land sur | | By: Gopal's Blog | | |

| Naomi Campbell Might Get Banned From Flying British Airways! | | 2008-04-07 07:28:42 | | Naomi Campbell risks a lifetime ban from flying with British Airways following her alleged fight with a police officer at an airport on Thursday. The supermodel was released on bail after she was arrested at London’s Heathrow airport following a dispute over her luggage, which was lost in the airport’s recent Terminal 5 luggage fiasco. Campbell allegedly spat at an officer and was handcuffed as she left the British Airways aircraft, which had yet to take off from the Heathrow’s new Terminal 5 building. According to airline bosses, the possibility of banning the 37-year-old from flying on British Airways planes is now under “active review”, with a final decision expected after the company completes an internal investigation and after police decide on whether to prosecute her.

| The Show Cat - British and American Shows | | 2008-04-01 08:31:00 | | BRITISH SHOWSThe first thing that happens at the show is vetting-in. The vet will give each cat a thorough health check, and if for some reason, such as runny eyes, fleas, or sore gums, the cat fails the examination, you will have to take it home and forfeit your entry fee. You may have to show your vaccination certificate to the vet, so have it ready.Judging British Cat ShowPutting your cat in its penAfter vetting-in, you take your cat to its pen – a metal cage displaying the same number as that on the cat’s tally. Although the show organizers will have checked that the cages are clean, it is best to play safe by wiping down the bars with some non-toxic disinfectant.

| Installing British smart meters could get pricey, like £20bn pricey | | 2008-03-28 17:35:51 | | While smart meters will provide a lot of benefits to pretty much everyone who uses electricity - whether they charge an electric car at night or not - the cost of swapping out everyone's current meter with one that communicates with the grid won't be cheap. In the U.S., California is taking the lead on installing smart meters. Over in the UK, energy companies and the government are taking a look at the potential installation costs and have found that this won't be a cheap process. While the energy companies have said they expect it to cost £5bn, the Guardian is reporting that government estimates place the number closer to somewhere between £10bn and £20bn. Yikes (I'm not sure exactly how much that is in U.S. dollars, thanks to the billion/trillion issue, but it's a lot). Who will get to pay this cost? Why, the customers, of course. The installation will likely start in 2010 and be finished by 2020.[Source: Guardian via Smart Electric Newsletter] | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

The 35-year-old sank crucial birdie putts on the 16th and 17th at the Sentosa Golf Club to lead all qualifiers on six-under-par 138, securing a second trip to the sport's oldest major after playing in the 2005 Open at St. Andrews. Chia, who won the Taiwan Open in 2002, will be teeing off at Royal Birkdale on July 17 along with Australia's Adam Blyth, Singapore's Lam Chih Bing and Angelo Que of the Philippines as the four qualifiers from the 64-player field. "I didn't putt well today but I played good," Chia told reporters. "I played within myself and made two birdies coming back when I needed them the most. "It's going to be very exciting to go back to the Open. I was there in 2005 and hopefully I've learned from that and will use it in Royal Birkdale." Blyth, wh | | By: The Golf Blog | | |

| Pedal power brings British real estate specialists to MIPIM | | 2008-03-08 03:31:00 | | Over 28,000 property executives will travel to Cannes next week for the 19th edition of MIPIM, the World's Property Market. But for 140 British real estate specialists, the trip to the Côte d'Azur will be something of a five-day Odyssey. The 140 riders, drawn from nearly 100 UK property companies, have committed themselves to cycling 1,500 kilometres between London and Cannes. Their objective is to raise €663,000 for charities. Berkeley Group Cycle To Cannes (C2C) leaves London on March 6 and rides into Cannes on March 10, the eve of MIPIM. Started in 2006, the C2C 'peleton' has mushroomed from an initial 17 riders and was fully booked weeks before MIPIM 2008.
