2007 GMC Yukon Denali Test Drive
A Truck for Car Lovers
MSRP: $36,460 — $47,780
General Motors’ latest line of full-size SUVs, including the GMC Yukon Denali, impresses with refinement and comfort. The question remains, how badly do you need a hefty truck that guzzles fuel?
The all-new ’07 Yukon Denali is part of General Motors’ brave new world of full-size, big-engine SUVs, which are stubbornly coming to market while gas prices continue to push past an average of $2.50 a gallon. Critics deride the troubled corporation for being out of step with the times, but GM is convinced that the market for such brutes will continue to flourish.
At 750,000 units a year, full-size SUVs account for about 4.4 percent of U.S. passenger-vehicle sales, and the theory is that there will always be plenty of buyers who feel they absolutely require the capability to carry at least half a dozen people in comfort, plus at least some baggage, while towing a big boat, travel trailer, race car or rolling livestock.
We’ll see whether GM is right, but meanwhile, there’s no denying that the Yukon Denali is an outstanding vehicle. I have no more use for a truck than I do for a walk-in refrigerator, but the Denali is so good it could change my mind.
The Yukon Denali is the best all-around, full-size SUV I’ve ever driven: luxurious, roomy, comfortable, smooth, whisper-quiet, surprisingly car-like, and at 380 hp, ...

The Jetta has traditionally been Volkswagen’s top seller in the U.S. and previous generations were little more than versions of the Golf two- and four-door hatchback sedans. That changed with Jetta’s model-year 2011 redesign – although the SportWagen retained its Golf-heritage with new front sheetmetal to mimic the sedan’s looks. The redesign dropped the Jetta’s price, enlarged cabin space and sparked a sales increase that placed it fifth in the compact class for calendar year 2011, a position it has retained through the first half of 2012.
Volkswagen has a long history of integrating diesel engines into its lineup and is the leader in bringing modern, clean diesel technology to the U.S. The German automaker currently offers four clean diesel models with sales that total more than all of the other diesel offerings combined. The Jetta TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection), sedan and SportWagen, is the leading seller, racking up more than 28,000 units through July.
For 2013, the Jetta TDI SportWagen has only minor changes over 2012 models; a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel and multi-function display on the S Trim.
This video was done on the East Coast with a DSG automatic transmission-equipped version after Larry Hall’s Pacific Northwest review of a manual-transmission model.

What did federal agencies do for travelers in 2013?
Ask travelers what the federal government did for them this year, and you’ll probably get a shrug, at best — or a rant about sequestration, national park closings and the Transportation Security Administration, at worst.
But there’s actually a specific answer: Federal agencies did a lot more than you might think. And, in at least one prominent case, a lot less.
When it comes to consumer protections, two agencies carried much of the water in 2013: the Department of Transportation (DOT), which oversees airlines and motorcoach safety in the United States, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has a broad jurisdiction ranging from time-share sales to hotels. This year, the U.S. Department of Justice also played a central role in protecting travelers with a halfhearted attempt to block the creation of the nation’s largest airline.
The DOT’s office of Aviation Consumer Protection has so far issued a record $6.9 million in fines for 2013, up from $4.1 million in 2012. Its fines have grown at an almost exponential pace in recent years. Consider that as recently as 2008, the agency wrote only $1.1 million worth of tickets to the airline industry.
“Travelers have rights,” says Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “And we will continue to hold the industry accountable.”
The DOT’s crime blotter, which you can find online. makes for fascinating reading. There’s American Airlines, fined $20,000 in November ...

New Car Review
The VW Golf formula is a like Coca Cola in that you don’t alter a successful recipe. However the Golf, which created the “hatch” category and is still the world’s bestselling hatch, has made a successful recipe better in the 7th generation Golf.
Value for money
The seven model Golf range starts at $21,490 for the Golf 90TSI 6 Speed Manual up to the 110TDI Highline 6 Speed DSG at $34,490 and given the level of standard features it is pretty good value for a European brand. We tested the mid-range Comfortline variant.
All models get cruise control, a multi-function steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity and USB interface, daytime running lights, air conditioning, electric windows, electro-mechanical power steering and an electronic parking brake. There is also a multi-function touchscreen dashboard display that shows everything from radio stations to fuel economy graphics. The cool thing about the screen is that it has a proximity sensor which senses when a hand is approaching and automatically switches to operating mode and will recognise wiping movements by the fingers such as the wipe and zoom movements you use on a smart phone.
In addition the Comfortline has a rear view camera, front and rear parking distance sensors, dual zone climate control air conditioning, rain sensing wipers, auto headlights, automatically dimming interior rear-view mirror and ...

2012 Volkswagen Golf Review
Volkswagen expands the Golf hatchback’s trim lineup for 2012, offering a variety of upgraded convenience and tech features, and the Golf continues to offer a functional, upscale cabin with plenty of storage space, as well as good driving dynamics and impressive fuel economy numbers when equipped with the optional diesel engine.
The CarGurus View
Although the 2012 Volkswagen Golf comes with a price premium when compared to similarly equipped competitors, reviewers and owners don’t seem to mind much, since the Golf delivers a lot of German engineering for the money. Thanks to its good performance, agile handling and overall solid build quality, the Golf behaves like a much more expensive vehicle on the road. Owners say it’s not only highly capable but also fun to drive. Add in a high-mileage diesel-powered option and a comfortable interior that meets or beats just about anything else in its class, and it becomes easy to understand the Golf’s wide appeal.
At a Glance
Nearing the end of its sixth generation, the Volkswagen Golf receives only minor updating for 2012, in the form of a revamped trim lineup, which adds new Convenience, Convenience and Sunroof, Tech, and Sunroof and Navigation Packages ...
Roughly half of the proteins recognized as belonging to the ADAM family do not contain the catalytic-site consensus sequence for metalloproteases (HEXXH) in their metalloprotease domain, and are likely not catalytically active. The metalloprotease motif (HELGHNFGAEH) in mouse ADAM17 occurs at amino acids 405-415 ( 9 ; 10 ) . Crystal structure of the ADAM17 metalloprotease domain shows an active site containing zinc and water atoms that are necessary for the hydrolytic processing of protein substrates, and which are coordinated by three conserved histidine residues and the downstream methionine found in the Met turn motif (aa 433-437). The Met turn motif loops around to face the zinc binding site ( Figure 5 ). Central to the metalloprotease domain is a twisted, five-stranded β-pleated sheet (strands sIsV) flanked on its convex side by α-helices hB and hB2 and on its concave side by helices hA and hC ( 18 ) . The ADAM17 metalloprotease domain is structurally similar to other metzincin proteins, although the ADAM17 binding pocket has an unusual tunnel connecting the two sites that accommodate the sidechains of the first and third residues of the substrate following the cleaved peptide bond ( 11 ) . Some inhibitors of ADAM metalloprotease activity do so by binding to the active-site cleft of the catalytic site. The TIMP-3 protein (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases) is able to inhibit ADAM17 activity in this way ( 19 ) ( Figure 5B ).

Hey, you changed one sentence in the article about the observers. I wrote, that they like raw flesh. The Observer wanted a roastbeef sandwich as RAW as possible (The arrival) and the child in the tunnel survived by eating rats (Inner Child) and of course he couldnt cook them.

Top 5 Reasons to NOT Convert Your Car to Propane or LPG
There’s been a lot of talk lately about bi-fuel cars running on LPG and propane. most notably from Chrysler and Lancia in Europe. but in the US as well, with several companies offering propane conversion kits. Propane has a few advantages of gasoline, of course. It tends to burn more cleanly, it’s cheaper, etc.
Still, nothing is perfect. Like any fuel, LPG/propane has some draw-backs that you’ll definitely want to be aware of before you “pull the trigger” and finally convert your car to propane. Here’s a brief rundown:
1. Tuning for Propane
As many of you who’ve looked under a car’s hood lately can tell you, cars in 2013 are rolling computers. There are sensors, processors, wires, connectors – a bunch of electronics, in other words, and they’re all driven, controlled, and calibrated by software. That software, by the way, is often encrypted by the manufacturers to make it difficult (if not impossible) to change stuff. On top of that, all those sensors, processors, etc. were built for gasoline, not LPG/propane.
What that means to you, would-be-propane converter, is that getting it wrong is far, Far, FAR easier than getting it right. When you get it right, the rewards can be huge. which is why companies like Switzer Performance and Syvecs spend tons of hours and dollars developing engine management solutions for flex-fuel cars – and why they charge upwards of $10,000 for a bulletproof conversion ...

Raspberry Pi: Sous-vide cooking with the Wolfram Language
This post was syndicated from: Raspberry Pi and was written by: Liz Upton. Original post: at Raspberry Pi
Here’s another guest post from Allison Taylor at Wolfram Research. We’ve seen sous vide applications before – but we’ve never seen one that uses the Wolfram Language and Mathematica to describe elegant curves while it prepares your dinner. Thanks Allison, and thanks to Diego Zviovich, who came up with this project.
Diego Zviovich, another one of our ambitious power-users of Mathematica and the Wolfram Language on the Raspberry Pi, has managed to (affordably) master the science of sous-vide cooking!
For those who aren’t familiar, sous vide is a modern cooking practice where the food is first put into airtight bags and then cooked in a water bath at a very precise temperature. The result is perfect, evenly cooked meat or fish, with much greater penetration of flavours from any marinade you might be using. Actual sous-vide cookers cost hundreds (or thousands) of dollars to buy, but with a few sensors, a crock pot, and your Raspberry Pi with Mathematica installed, you can create your very own sous vide at a fraction of the price!
What you’ll need (along with your Raspberry Pi + Wolfram):
The 5V 2-relay control module will be used to control the power to the crock pot. We’ll be automating this switch to turn on and off depending on our thermocouple readings, maintaining the appropriate constant ...
