| BMW Aims Being US Leading Luxury Stakes, Taking off Lexus | | 2008-08-10 09:06:00 | | BMW, buoyed by a new line of small cars, threatens to end the 8-year reign of Toyota's Lexus as the leading US luxury brand.BMW topped Lexus in July for the third time in 2008. BMW, the world's largest maker of luxury cars, trails Lexus by 3466 sales after 7 months, erasing 90% of the gap from the start of the year.The US debut of the 1-Series car in March bolstered BMW's offerings with a model that gets 28 miles per gallon on the highway, blunting the effect of record gasoline prices that are sapping sales of big four-wheel-drives. Lexus has added only a sports car and a 4WD with 400 horsepower, V8 engines."Looking at BMW's line-up with all the gas issues of the day, they may be in better shape than Lexus,'' said Stephanie Brinley, a product researcher with AutoPacific. She said Munich-based BMW may pass Lexus by the end of the year.A 40% jump in global demand for the 1-Series helped boost last month's worldwide deliveries by 2.2%, BMW said.The 1-Series generated 7400 US sales through | | By: Autos Space | | |
| | The Belmont Stakes | | 2008-06-07 12:47:00 | | I'm not a professional handicapper. And as a handicapper my area of expertise is NFL money lines, not the ponies. But it's the sport of kings and it's amazing what a $1 superfecta can win. Big Brown is the prohibitive favorite (2-5, bet $5 to win $2) but he has issues. Think Curt Shilling's bloody sock type of issues. So I'm gonna take a crack at my top 4. I don't ask for much but if I give out the winners and you rake in the dollars, buy a round for the bar. OK?WINDenis of Cork (12-1)PLACEBig Brown (2-5)SHOW Icabad Crane (20-1)4THAnak Nakal (40-1)There you go. Win, eat, drink at be merry. Remember, Big Brown is sponsored by Hooters. I don't know if they have any specials if he wins, but bug your waitress anyway. Girls love difficult guys. | | By: Get To The Chopper | | |

| | Japanese Camellia 'Alice Stakes' | | 2008-03-30 10:19:15 | | Japanese CamelliaCamellia japonica 'Alice Stakes'(kuh-MEE-lee-a) (juh-PON-ih-kuh)Synonym: Common CamelliaYesterday I had to drive out to Long Island so even though the weather was less than nice decided I would bring my camera and visit Planting Fields and a garden I hadn’t been before, Bailey’s Arboretum. They are only a few miles apart and both were worth visiting. Planting Fields had their Camellia Collection in almost full bloom and it was a magnificent sight. Utterly amazing and breathtaking. Here is a link to the previous post I did on the Camellia House. It is one of the largest collections of Camellia grown ‘under glass’ (greenhouse) in the world.I couldn’t find any references to the ‘Alice Stakes’ cultivar. The flowers were not very large compared to some of the other Camellias but it was perfectly shaped and a very nice soft pink.I had my Nikon Coolpix 8400 in my bag along with the D70s yesterday. I also had my Sigma 17-70mm, Nikon 50mm/1.8, and of course the 60 | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

While the ruling Barisan National Coalition has remained in power since Malaysia's independence half-a-century ago from the British, balancing the relationships among the country's multiple racial, religious...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |

| | New Ford Focus Raises the Stakes | | 2007-12-01 08:36:00 | | The UK’s best-selling car has been totally updated – and we have driven it first. Ford’s new Focus hits showrooms in January with a restyled body and a more upmarket interior, and we’re the only magazine to give you the definitive verdict on the changes.On sale since 2004, Ford has decided now is the time for an overhaul. And following in the footsteps of the latest Mondeo, the Focus has been brought into line with its big brother, receiving a stylish new look.With rivals such as Peugeot’s 308 taking cabin quality forward, the Focus gets better materials and more equipment. Refinement has also been addressed and while the engine line-up is unchanged, a new DSG-style twin-clutch semi-auto gearbox will be available, plus a green Econetic model with emissions of less than 120g/km.But are these changes enough to keep the Focus on top of the sales charts?

| | RUSSIA: Gazprom buys controlling stakes in OGK-2, OGK-6 -1 | | 2007-07-29 10:49:00 | | Russian energy giant Gazprom [GAZP] has acquired controlling stakes in wholesale generating companies OGK-2 and OGK-6, as well as minor stakes in three territorial generating firms, the head of Unified Energy System said Friday. "As a result of a share swap between minority holdings comprised of UES shareholders, Norilsk Nickel, Gazprom and [coal mining company] SUEK, Gazprom's share in OGK-2 and OGK-6 will grow to 55% and 52%, respectively. Gazprom will also receive a 5% stake in [territorial generating company] TGK-11, over 4% in TGK-12, and a little under 5% in TGK-13," Anatoly Chubais said. He said SUEK will see its stake in TGK-12 increase to 5%, while Norilsk Nickel will acquire 14% in OGK-3. "Therefore, neither SUEK nor Norilsk Nickel will gain direct control," Chubais said. He said only Gazprom will have a controlling stake in the two companies, but that the gas monopoly's control could be lost after a new share issue.
