2018's most popular cars in Europe by market segment
Want to know what the best-selling SUV is in Europe? How about the most popular sports car or executive saloon? The answers are here
The car industry expands into new segments frequently, with new bodystyles popping up all over the place.
What's the best-selling in each one, though? We've got the latest data from market analyst JATO Dynamics to bring you the best-selling cars in Europe (EU countries), sorted by bodystyle.
City car: Fiat 500 – 167,708 sales
There's no denying the 500's charms, even if it's not the best car to drive. European customers agree – it's the best-selling city car on the Continent, followed by the Fiat Panda and Volkswagen Up.
Supermini: Renault Clio – 284,241 sales
Seat is on a roll but can the Arona, its new junior SUV, cut it in such an ultra-competitive class?
The Renault Clio is one of the best-selling cars in Europe, the top-selling car in France, Portugal and Slovenia and the top-selling supermini overall. It tops the Volkswagen Polo in second and the Ford Fiesta in third.
Family hatchback: Volkswagen Golf – 378,167 sales
Surprise, surprise: the Volkswagen Golf – best-selling car in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Latvia and Luxembourg, second-best-seller in Norway, Switzerland and the UK and third-best-seller in Denmark, Ireland and Sweden, is Europe's favourite family hatchback. The second-placed Skoda Octavia and third-placed Ford Focus didn't stand a chance.
Mid-size saloon/estate: Volkswagen Passat – 137,794 sales
Volkswagen's hold on Europe continues with the Passat, which is officially the best-selling D-segment car in Europe. The the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is in second, with the Audi A4 in third, helping Mercedes come close to three-segment domination in the sales rankings.
Executive: Mercedes-Benz E-Class – 101,334 sales
The E-Class has helped Mercedes to become the largest premium car maker in the world, overtaking the BMW Group for world domination. The BMW 5 Series takes second and the Audi A6 third.
Luxury: Mercedes-Benz S-Class – 12,723 sales
Few surprises here, too – the S-Class is where Mercedes-Benz feels most at home. There's a (relatively) new challenger in town, though: the Porsche Panamera has overtaken the BMW 7 Series to take silver.
Small SUV: Renault Captur – 186,220 sales
This is the soon-to-be big league: the fastest-growing segment in the industry. And Renault claims another win, here with the Captur. Even today, five years after its launch, it beats the Dacia Duster and Peugeot 2008 for top spot.
Mid-size SUV: Nissan Qashqai – 206,636 sales
A sort-of home hero takes the C-segment SUV market in Europe: the Sunderland-built Nissan Qashqai, followed by the Volkswagen Tiguan and Peugeot 3008. The Qashqai is only the UK's third best-seller, yet the UK accounts for more than a quarter of European Qashqai sales.
Large SUV: Peugeot 5008 – 67,913 sales
Peugeot's segment-leading 5008 is a new entry, as is the second-best-seller, the Skoda Kodiaq. Both lead the Nissan X-Trail. None of the three is in the UK's top ten best-sellers.
Small premium SUV: BMW X1 – 93,164 sales
Another rapidly growing SUV segment, this, with the upcoming Lexus UX, Mercedes-Benz GLB and recently introduced second-generation Range Rover Evoque, BMW X2, Jaguar E-Pace and Volvo XC40. But it's a relative old-timer, the BMW X1, that triumphs, with over over 90,000 sales so far this year. Stalwarts continue to excel in this class, with the not-long-for-this-world Mercedes-Benz GLA in second and the Audi Q3 in third.
Mid-size premium SUV: Mercedes-Benz GLC – 108,323 sales
Two bodystyles help the Mercedes-Benz GLC (and GLC Coupé) top the mid-size premium SUV segment, followed by the Volvo XC60 and Audi Q5. It's another segment that's grown considerably in the last few months, with new entries from multiple premium brands and more on the way.
Large premium SUV: BMW X5 – 26,733 sales
The seriously posh end of the SUV market is presided over by the segment-founding BMW X5, which usurps the former best-selling Volvo XC90 and hugely successful Mercedes-Benz GLE for first place. It's a fairly quiet segment compared with the other SUV realms, with the X5 finding about a quarter as many homes as the GLC.
Small MPV: Fiat 500L – 47,343 sales
The Fiat 500L is more warmly received on the Continent than in the UK, as shown by its best-seller status in the small MPV segment. The Honda Jazz and Dacia Lodgy (which isn't available in the UK) take second and third respectively. Most MPVs are declining in sales numbers, though, as people turn to more fashionable, image-focused SUVs.
Mid-size MPV: Renault Scenic – 82,702 sales
Another win for Renault with the Scenic – the mid-sized MPV was Europe's best-seller so far this year, overtaking the previous top-spot holder, the Volkswagen Touran, while the Citroën C4 Spacetourer remains at third. No MPV made it onto the UK's top ten best-sellers list.
Large MPV: Mercedes-Benz V-Class – 24,432 sales
Europe's large MPV market is led by the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, although sales are down 7% year-on-year over 2017 in a declining market segment. The Ford S-Max takes second place, while the Seat Alhambra completes the podium.
Small sports car: Mazda MX-5 – 12,590 sales
There could only be one, couldn't there? The Mazda MX-5 clinches the win in Europe, although a 15% decrease year-on-year doesn't bode well for the segment. Its cousin, the Fiat 124 Spider, follows, while the Lotus Elise comes in third, showing just how small the segment has become.
Mid-size sports car: Audi TT – 10,273 sales
The Audi TT continues to reign over the mid-size sports car segment, beating the Porsche 718 models. The Ford Mustang overtook the 718 to take second, following Ford's savvy decision to finally bring it to Europe.
Large sports car: Porsche 911 – 16,936 sales
MX-5, TT, 911 – it's a class dominated by icons, and the Porsche 911 is the best-selling of them all. The 911 is Europe's best-selling sports car of any size, let alone in its market segment. The Mercedes-AMG GT and Ferrari 488 follow in second and third.

New York Yankees release their non roster spring training invite list
The New York Yankees announced on Thursday afternoon their non roster spring training invite list. It is headlined by top prospects Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, Greg Bird, Jacob Lindgren and Rob Refsnyder. The Yankees also announced six minor league signings and then the 20 other players that were the invites to go with everyone on the 40 man roster.
The six minor league contract guys with invites to spring training are Scott Baker a right handed pitcher, infielder Cole Figueroa, infielder Jonathan Galvez, catcher Juan Graterol, infielder Nick Noonan and catcher Eddy Rodriguez. Baker is a guy who has had a decent career as a starting pitcher mainly with the Minnesota Twins. He will be insurance in case someone gets hurt in spring training and he has an out clause but we don't know when that is. I am sure if he doesn't make the team he won't want to go to AAA. The infielders are guys who could also potentially make the team but I would list that as very unlikely unless major injuries happen. The Yankees are probably going to have Stephen Drew at second and Didi Gregorius at short with Rob Refsnyder in AAA ready to take over at second sometime this year or next year. The utility guy is probably going to be Jose Pirela.
The bright up and comers that headline the prospects that will be in camp are Severino and Judge. Severino is a dynamite starter who led all Yankees farmhands last season with 127 strikeouts. He should start the year in AA Trenton and is rated as baseballs 23rd best prospect. He will have a chance to make a good first impression and could even reach AAA at some point this year and be knocking on the door to the big leagues. Judge is a power hitting right fielder who should also start out at AA Trenton. He led the prospects in RBI last year with 78 and was rated as 68 prospect in baseball. The Yankees have 14 guys in camp who were originally drafted by the Yankees. Lindgren is included in this list as he was the second round pick in last year draft. He is a left handed reliever and considered the Yankees ninth best prospect. He could appear in the majors this season after advancing to AA last year and posting a 2.16 ERA. Right handed reliever Nick Rumbelow, left handed reliever Tyler Webb and catcher Trent Garrison are also products of the 2014 draft. Infielder Rob Refsnyder who is the Yankees number 6 prospect, right hander Nick Goody, left hander James Pazos were drafted in 2012 and infielder Greg Bird who is the Yankees number 11 prospect and Jack Cave the number 8 prospect were drafted in 2011. The Yankees draft selections are rounded out by Cito Culver and Slade Heathcott who were first round selections. Kyle Roller who is a 1B and catcher Kyle Higashioka. In addition catcher Francisco Arcia, right hander Vincente Campos, right hander Diego Moreno and right hander Wilking Rodriguez have been invited to camp. Andrew Bailey was also included in the list, he is a former big league closer who had been rehabbing with the Yankees last year. He is 30 years old and owns 89 saves over 206 career appearances with the Athletics and Red Sox.
The total number of players expected to report to camp is 66 with pitchers and catchers reporting on Friday February 20, 2015 and position players reporting a few days later with the first full squad workout scheduled for February 26, 2015.

New York Yankees and New York Mets news and rumors
The Super Bowl is over and pitchers and catchers report in about two weeks. It is time to look at what has been going on with the New York Yankees and the New York Mets. There really hasn't been much going on especially with the Mets. They made their big move early in the offseason and that was it. They still haven't gotten a shortstop which would lead you to believe they think Wilmer Flores is the answer at short for now. I don't agree with them but if that is what they believe then so be it. The Yankees are pretty much set in stone, they have made a bunch of minor moves this off-season and they could make a move for the cuban guys now. Yoan Moncada is the most notable to keep an eye on. He is a 19 year old switch hitter who is supposed to be five tool and basically a can't miss guy. If the Yankees sign him he could be their second baseman or 3B of the future. He would fit perfectly with their team. Another young talent that they could have on the team in the next couple of years to go with the Aaron Judge, Greg Bird, Luis Severino crew.
The New York Yankees did sign Scott Baker to a minor league contract. He is a veteran who has battled injuries the last couple of years but pitched pretty decent for the Texas Rangers last year out of the bullpen. He was a long man/spot starter type of pitcher.
The Yankees have stayed away from the big fish this off-season but James Shields is still out there. You have to wonder if he would sign a lesser deal now that it seems he isn't going to get the big money he may have gotten earlier in the off-season. The Yankees haven't been linked to him but you wonder if they would jump in if they could get him for say 75 million instead of over 100 million.
The Mets rumors were early in the off-season when you heard the Troy Tulowitski rumors mainly. He isn't going anywhere right now and definitely not to the Mets. The Mets appear to be going with Ruben Tejada or Flores at SS. I think they should get a SS but it doesn't look like they will. Ian Desmond has been another guy they have been linked to but you haven't heard that in at least a couple of weeks so that may be dead now.
Johan Santana has been working out for teams and you hear the Yankees name in the mix but if anything that would be another minor league contract. He was throwing though and then shut it down for a little bit due to shoulder soreness so I would think they would pass on him but we will see what happens.
Alex Rodriguez is the big name for the Yankees and you have heard a lot about him lately. The main thing is the Yankees trying to avoid his milestone bonuses. This could get ugly but it doesn't appear Joe Girardi has a part in this or wants to have one. He spoke over the weekend about him and said they have been talking and considers their relationship good and he just wants to put him and all of his players in the best position to succeed.
The Mets really haven't had much going on overall and I really don't expect much to happen with them. Dillon Gee is still on their team and could be traded in the next couple of weeks but not even sure that will happen. The best news is that pitchers and catchers will be reporting in about two weeks or so and then we can start discussing this more in depth and no more rumors, it will be talking about the players on the field and what is going on with the teams.

A Vermont native and member of the fundamentalist Christadelphian Church, Schaefer first ran afoul of authority while serving in the Navy. Charged with arson and possession of illegal drugs, he responded with an insanity plea, but the Navy psychiatrists found him competent for trial. On discharge, he succeeded in convincing friends and relatives of his normality, but violent sexual obsessions simmered just below the surface of his quiet personality, the pressure mounting toward a detonation point.
In 1979, Schaefer kidnapped, raped and murdered 13-year-old Sherry Nastasia, whose family lived in a Springfield apartment complex managed by Schaefer's brother. Theresa Fenton suffered an identical fate in 1981, but 17-year-old Deana Buxton survived an attack in Brattleboro, during 1982. Her description focused police attention on Schaefer, but hard evidence was still lacking in early 1983, when the killer struck again.
On April 9 of that year, Schaefer abducted young Catherine Richards in Springfield, driving her to a remote location where she was forced to fellate him before he crushed her skull with a stone. The body was discovered at noon on April 10, and eyewitness descriptions of Catherine's abductor matched those of Deana Buxton's assailant the previous year. Police were working their way up to an arrest in September 1983, when the last victim's mother penned an open letter to Schaefer, accusing him of murder and challenging him to confess his sins, in accordance with the precepts of his church.
It was the final straw, and Schaefer cracked in custody, confessing on two counts of murder (Fenton and Richards), plus the rape of Deana Buxton. In December 1983, he pled guilty to kidnapping, sexual assault, and second-degree murder in the Richards case, with charges dismissed in the Fenton murder as part of a plea bargain. A month later, Schaefer was sentenced to a term of 30 years to life, his time to be served at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas.
This case and hundreds more, plus over 80 minutes of video (including documentaries and interviews with both killers and experts), artwork, hundreds of photographs, an interactive mapping system, and the text of four complete books is included in the award-winning CD-ROM.

Women speak a language all our own.
This is not news to men.
When we say "I'm fine," the smart men among you have figured out that we are anything but, and you circle around us like vultures going in for the kill. Which you are really…if you have any hope of ever getting laid again. Finding out why we are not fine, usually simply by asking us (it's not rocket science, dear), is the best way back into our good graces (yes, I mean beds).
Surely you know of what I speak.
You are a man, after all.
Chicks however, when we are mad or irritated with you, will cross our arms as well as jut out one hip. This conveys that not only are you in the doghouse, but that you are to turn on the groveling channel—clearly you know what channel that is since you control the remote.
Eighteen years of separate sinks.
It's been, in a word, clean-freak heaven.
For some reason, however, our new home—while equipped with a lovely long counter, has only one sink in the master bath.
So I started noticing lately that little white spots have shown up on my previously pristine countertop. A new phenomenon that I hadn't experienced previously in Girlworld.
What are these little white spots? After a bit of investigating (watching husband brush his teeth), I had my answer.
I'm not quite sure what may have caused these icky toothpaste clumps to start popping up all over the counter as of late…is it King of the Castle laziness? Lack of attention to detail? Hurry to get out (to his office down the hall) in the morning?
I really thought we had dodged the toothpaste bullet. He rolls from the bottom. I couldn't be prouder. I thought, with pride, 'WE are not like THOSE other common toothpaste couples!" with a sniff of superiority.
Sigh. I couldn't have been more wrong.
You don't realize that you've become a victim of The Toothpaste Clumping until it first shows up in tiny little smears & droppings. You think NO, that can't be right. Surely, he knows better than that. He's been through Husband Training School. And there are towels right here next to the sink, waiting so considerately to be used just for that purpose, right?

'American Chopper's' Paul Teutel Sr. owes $22G in taxes, report says
By , Chelsea Hirsch
Paul Teutul Sr. is in more financial trouble.
Page Six confirmed with the Orange County clerk's office on Wednesday that the "American Chopper" star owes $22,364.60 in state taxes for his Newburgh, N.Y. based restaurant, Orange County Choppers Cafe.
The restaurant's contact person told Page Six they were not aware of the state tax warrant and Teutul did not list the amount as a separate entity on his bankruptcy filing from February.
Teutul, 68, is also facing foreclosure on his home at 95 Judson Road in Montgomery, New York. The reality star's legal problems don't end there, as he is in the midst a fraud suit for allegedly sabotaging a TV project that cost his business partner millions of dollars.
Teutul rose to fame on the Discovery Channel's "American Chopper" from 2003 to 2010. The show returned earlier this month.
His rep had no comment.

Impact (1) is a word that is a both a noun and a verb, and can be used with or without an object. As a noun, impact is "the force exerted by a new idea, concept, technology, or ideology: the impact of the industrial revolution." As a verb with an object, impact is "to have an impact or effect on; influence; alter: The decision may impact your whole career." Without an object, impact is "to have an impact or effect: Increased demand will impact on sales." Over our first year, At the Ready Magazine has run a regular feature on the impact of first responders on their communities with first person stories, positive and creative agency outreach, social media support pages, and artistic tributes to those who serve. We don't like to toot our own horn often, but here in our first Anniversary Issue, we want to share the story of our publication, the impact we have had on our online community, and the impact all of you have had on us. It is a great story.
At the Ready Magazine was born from a conversation with a small agency that solved a resource issue with a creative idea, but felt the idea, while worthy of sharing, was not accepted by the larger publications that cater to that particular first responder market. In the infamous words of the Little Red Hen, "Then I will do it" was announced by a former FF/Medic without any publication experience, but with a passion to ensure that the smaller rural agency had a platform for the sharing of creative ideas. But that crazy person couldn't do it alone, so a very talented web guy and a brilliant researcher and author (who spent over five years with Law Enforcement) teamed up to bring the first nine articles to market with the At the Ready Magazine name and logo. Our first issue went live on March 31, 2013. We could have never predicted the response and the support we have received.
Over the past twelve months we have been blessed with incredible contributors, an expert advisory board, another great web guy, and an amazing editor. We have shared interviews and stories that are pretty eclectic- from Dispatch to the Public Safety Diver and everything in between. We have articles addressing issues such as Starting a Non-Profit for funding training and equipment, K-9 officers and how to choose a handler in your department, using robots for First Responders, free training opportunities in our At the Resource feature and others. We've featured the training challenges for our neighbors in Rural Canada, and the need to start a national EMS standard in Nepal. We LOVE to highlight atypical specialties such as "Farm medics", Civil Air Patrol, Lifeguards, Public Safety Explorers and Utility Companies as responders.
Thank You. We are looking forward to another great year.

Maybe we should include item information here too?
All of my thumbs up.
This guy needs a better job title than "QA Analyst". "QA Analyst" doesn't describe this level of awesome, and makes me envision a chimpanzee in a tutu bashing an iPad, screaming "VIDEO GAME PLAYERS ARE SUPERFICIAL DORKS; SELL MORE SKINS."
I'd support a job title like "Harbinger of Ranked Dominion". That'd be cool.
Items aren't really "champion balance", so I guess they're not relevant to this thread, but perhaps make another sticky thread specifically about items?
"The 4 horsemen of Ranked Dom"
Suboverlord since he's the witchking of all 3 "submaps"?


The HTC One Remix is available from Verizon Wireless right now, and we're working through our review of the device, and figured we'd do a few tutorials on questions we get asked constantly. Now most of you may think that taking a screenshot is easy, well it is. But not everyone has been using Android for years, or ever. So it's a very popular question in our inbox, and we're here to answer it.
To take a screenshot, simply press power and volume down together. After about a second or two, you'll see the animation show a screenshot, and you'll also get a notification that a screenshot was captured. Now you'll be able to pull it down from the notification bar and share it, edit it, or simply view it. It's just that simple. We've also got a video down below for those that might need a bit more of a visual.


I thought it might be a good idea to not only introduce my new blog but also myself as I'm new to Cheshire. Having spent 10 years in South Wales designing gardens, my wife and I fancied a change of scenery and took it upon ourselves to sell our home and buy a house in Knutsford after falling in love with the area during our quest to find somewhere new to live.
Having done my research I noticed there's a fair few garden designers to choose from in Cheshire so I thought to myself, 'how am I going to stand out'? Which leads me nicely to introducing my blog. Ok, so it's a bit of a gimmick to get me up the rankings on google so don't be surprised if you see me dropping in 'Cheshire garden designer' here and there.
My blog is also an opportunity to explain a little about who I am and what my design philosophy is. When I looked into local landscape designers I felt that my portfolio had something else to offer.
So what's my style? I'll always design a garden that the client requests so if you say Japanese garden, that's what you'll get. As with any creative there's always going to be a slice of the designer within their creation. Over the years my portfolio has slowly been looking more and more like my kind of garden. I'm always drawn to more contemporary gardens with strong formal lines and that is often visible in my designs. I love minimalism but I love bold statements and textures too so contrasts are something I work with a lot.
Ever since I was a young, budding art student I've loved modern architecture. The more I am able to express my style in my designs the more evidential that becomes, as with the natural landscape being a keen hiker and traveller. So if I have free reign over a garden design you'll see wild elements of textured planting with stark architectural contrasts, natural materials next to the more contemporary and even industrial. With that in mind I'm very much a 'less is more' kind of person so I don't over complicate my designs, and on that note I shall not overcomplicate my first blog.
As I develop my blog and as I develop as a garden designer I shall be sharing my thoughts and philosophies as well as anything I might learn along the way, or if there's something useful I might share that with you too.

Bridging the gap between traditional and unique with forgiveness and distance in mind, the Ping G30 will be certain to turn a few heads. With intriguing sound, fresh design elements, and a storied history of quality through the G series, it comes as no surprise the next installment in this line performs admirably. For this review, the 9 degree G30 head with the Tour 65 stiff shaft was utilized.
From Ping: To generate faster clubhead speed and ball velocity for longer drives, turbulators were engineered onto the crown of the 460cc head. Proven in wind-tunnel testing to reduce aerodynamic drag and create efficient airflow, the added speed from the turbulators provides measurable distance gains for all skill levels. At address, they create a captured appearance with the ball and assist with alignment and inspiration.
The first and likely most notable design element of the Ping G30 are the turbulators, which sit on the crown of the driver. Ping notes the added design element reduces the 'drag forces' through the contact area of the swing, which can help to increase club head speed. While the swing speed of the Ping did not out perform a variety of other drivers side by side, the turbulators did a tremendous job aligning to the ball on setup. Not only did the head frame the ball extremely well, it was quite clear where the ball was located at address in relation to the club head.
A fair commentary would suggest the turbulators are 'extreme' or 'non-traditional' in design, and it is not unfair to make that claim, however over the course of testing, not only did they stop being obtrusive to the eye thanks to the matte black finish, they became extremely beneficial for squaring the ball to the target and clubface.
From Ping: A new high-strength, lightweight T9S titanium face is thinner and hotter to optimize face deflection for faster ball speeds and longer drives.
It is very exciting to see companies introduce lighter weight technology, as it adds to the flexibility of moving weight to more beneficial places on the head, not to mention producing greater technology potential in each area of the club head. In this case, while it's nearly impossible to translate face contact and release with the naked eye, the performance of the G30 rivaled a majority, if not all drivers on the market in terms of total carry distance.
While very subjective, the ball did appear to 'jump' off the G30 on well struck drives. Discussion of sound and launch will come shortly, however it is worth acknowledging that what appeared to be 'flush' contact was consistently at or better than expected results.
From Ping: Weight savings from thinning the face are allocated to help position the CG lower and farther back than any PING driver to date, ensuring high launch and optimized spin with a high MOI for extreme forgiveness.
When one considers the elongated profile of the G30 from the face to the back section of the driver head, it comes at little surprise that they were afforded the ability to drive the CG lower and away from the face. It is with this design that very notable forgiveness was provided, especially on shots lower and towards the heel. While extreme scenarios of inaccuracy (nearly to the crown high on the face) produced notable distance losses, a majority of the mediocre swings imparted on the G30 generated more than ideal results. This includes both distance and accuracy off target line.
While this design structure suggests a 'high' launch profile, testing confirmed that launch can be tamed based on the adjustability of the head along with shaft selection. Testing all but proved there are optimal low to low/mid solutions to the G30 stock setup.
From Ping: To optimize the performance of your driver and maximize carry distance and roll out, you can fine-tune launch angle and spin by adding or subtracting up to 1 degree of loft prior to your round. Settings are standard, +0.6°, +1°, -0.6°, or -1°.
The G30 showed markedly different results between the two loft extremes provided by the trajectory tuning+ technology adapter: the 8 degree setting for lower, more penetrating ball flight, all the way up to the high launching 10 degree setting. With five adjustments possible between two degrees of driver face loft, users have the freedom to get exactly what they are looking for in launch characteristics.
While there were many considerations during the G30 testing, a few of the more common questions will be addressed in the following paragraphs. To begin with a very popular question, the sound of the G30 is quite unique. It's not overly obnoxious or traditional in response, but rather something quite its own. The T9S face, along with the depth of the head produce a higher pitched, yet muted sound. It's not to suggest it would take a long time to dial in the sound of the G30, however it does provide itself something unique beyond looks.
Forgiveness is very subjective, however testing would suggest the G30 is extremely easy to hit on the center or near the center of the face, and as such promote consistently straight drives. Contact low and well inside towards the heel did not show a great deal of distance reduction, and a similar result was experienced with contact slightly higher than center and towards the toe. With the CG built back into the head and lower, Ping claims a reduction of the overall gear effect and testing provided that to be quite true. For greater depth on face forgiveness and distance variances on contact, consider this post on the THP Forums.
While forgiveness is incredibly beneficial with a driver, distance plays a major role on relevance and the G30 proved to be exceptional in that regard. Testing confirmed carry distances well within expectations, with some situations actually overachieving. With reasonably firm fairways it's quite likely the G30 will roll out nicely, however in this case a majority of the testing was completed on soft fairways, which did not produce additional rollout. Based on carry and launch conditions, it's realistic to expect some rollout with the G30 on the optimal setting.
Early stages of testing did prove interesting when moving to the G30 from a more traditional driver headshape. Between the turbulators, matte black finish, and longer (from face to back) head design, it did take two or three outings to familiarize with the profile. With that in mind, golfers have the ability to define what they believe to be the 'norm' based on what they game, and it would not take long to get comfortable with this head shape.
With regards to the matte black finish, it is an excellent look. Zero sun glare is a major benefit, although it can be a small source of frustration for anyone attempting to golf in the morning dew, as water changes the finish to a dark black. Anyone carrying a towel with them can quickly wipe down the driver for a return to standard coloration within a handful of seconds.
Experiences can vary with the Ping G30 driver depending on the shaft incorporated with the head, however the Tour 65 stiff shaft came as advertised – low-mid in flight. The launch angle can easily change based on the head adjustability, however in optimal settings the low-mid flight was achieved more often than not. This shaft plays at 45.25 inches in the G30 head, unlike the stock TFC 419D which plays at 45.75 inches.
After a great deal of time spent with the G30, testing confirmed Ping's claims of being a solid performance driver without the loss of forgiveness. With a large sweet spot, alignment aiding top line, and impressive face construction, the Ping G30 rivals most stock options available today. Thanks to a variety of stock shaft options available, it is realistic to believe the G30 can perform for a variety of golfers. For more information on the Ping G30 driver, visit www.Ping.com.
Nice review on this one Dan! The natural high high launch profile does scare me some but it's good to hear that you can find a low or low/mid profile via the stock shaft & adjustability.
Still curious to learn if the turbulators truly do anything or not, but I like what I'm reading regarding the forgiveness.
Great write-up, Dan. Sounds like Ping has a winner here.
Higher launch, and improved toe forgiveness sounds like a winner to me. Great overall review Dan!
Great job Dan. Been looking forward to this review. We obviously have different swings, but I didnt find that I had any higher launch than I usually do but thats more of the product of my swing and struggling to get the ball higher. I didnt tinker with the settings so maybe I just needed to loft it up a little bit. The one thing I did notice is how the ball absolutely explodes off the face. In hand, the club is much much nicer than in pictures. The flat black is really sharp and the turbulators really arent an issue in terms of looks.
Great review! Glad to have a scratch golfer's perspective on this driver. Very nice! "Dan The Man Levitan"!
Very thorough review Dan! Excellent coverage of technology, aesthetics, and feel/sound. I enjoy reading your work.
Great work Dan, sounds like Ping has a great new weapon on their hands!
Extremely well written Mr. Dan. Its an interesting driver for sure and having spent time with it I can see why its generating some buzz, particularly among those who have tried the G-series before, its a definite improvement there.
Great stuff Dan! I'm a fan so I'll share my gushing for the thread but some really solid information here.
Great review Dan!! The high launch profile intrigues me and I was extremely impressed how great this driver looked.
Will need to hit this in the very near future.
Great write up Dan. I have only been to the range once with this, but have to say, I too saw the forgiveness of the G30. The turbulatories are interesting and I agree that they help set up the head to the ball.
Outstanding review ! I still think you are a robot in disguise though. How do you choose where on the face to hit the ball? From my own experience, this is a do it all driver.
Nice review, I've been playing it with the Tour shaft for the past 5 weeks and it's my driver of 2014 by far, great forgiving head and I've found a few yards that had been lost.
Probably the best club review I've ever read.
Heres another review site I found that has some pretty good reviews and great pictures.
Solid review Dan. Lately this driver has been popping up in my head and I can't seem to shake it. I may need to take a few cuts with one of these asap!
Do not, repeat NOT purchase this club if you are a beginning or novice golfer. The misleading reports on how forgiving this club is are simply that misleading. If you are Bubba Watson, or a very good golfer looking for a tweak, then this club would possibly be forgiving. Being a 2 year golfer, I had to work through problems with my Callaway driver which I ultimately did to hit straight. I spent the money on a G30 thinking it would be a logical next step. BOY was I WRONG. This club took my worst problems and timed them by 10!
This club is JUNK for any type of golfer that is less than professional. I am stuck with it now and will find a way to use it just because of the excessive price, but DO NOT make the same mistake with this horrible club that I did!

Botched French drug trial leaves 1 brain dead, 5 in hospital
THOMAS ADAMSON
PARIS — One man is brain dead and three others are facing possible permanent brain damage after volunteering to take part in a drug test that went awry, France, French authorities said Friday.
The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into what French Health Minister Marisol Touraine called "an accident of exceptional gravity" at the private Biotrial clinical lab in the western city of Rennes.
The drug trial, which was testing a new painkiller compound, involved 90 healthy volunteers who were given the experimental drug in varying doses at different times, she told reporters Friday at a news conference in Rennes.
Six male volunteers between 28 and 49 years old have since been hospitalized, including one man now classified as brain dead, Touraine said, adding that all the other 83 volunteers are being contacted.
The drug trial for the six hospitalized men began on Jan. 7 and was halted Monday.
The chief neuroscientist at the hospital in Rennes, Professor Gilles Edan, said in addition to the brain-dead man, three other male medical volunteers could have "irreversible" brain damage. A fifth man is suffering from neurological problems and a sixth man is being kept in the hospital but is in a less critical condition, he said.
Edan said there's no known way to reverse the effects of the experimental drug that Biotrial was testing. The drug is based on a natural brain compound similar to the active ingredient in marijuana.
Touraine said the experimental drug was not based on cannabis, as some media reports had claimed. She urged calm, saying that no drug currently on the market was implicated in the failed trial.
The drug was produced by the Portuguese pharmaceutical company Bial, which said Friday that 108 healthy people had already taken part in the trials and had no moderate or serious reactions to the drug, a new molecule to treat pain. Bial added that initial testing for the drug started in June 2015 following toxicology tests.

How did everyone fare last night? All of Whittier was out of power all night but restored around 6:10 am this morning. We saw some spectacular flashes of light south of town during the night and east of town this morning around 4:30 am. Definitely not lightning – probably power lines or transformers blowing out. We sit up on the hillside in Whittier and the winds up here were very scary and roared all night. Fortunately we have no north facing windows. We'd heard that they would take the worst of the wind and possibly blow out unless they were taped or covered. We have natural gas so, until the power was restored, we were able to use a camp percolator on the gas range to make coffee, had plenty of hot water, used an LED camp lantern for light, and would have manually lit the gas fireplace for at least some heat. Our only concern was the 2 fridge/freezers and all of their contents but now all is well.
I saw those splosions to. Glad my power is back on.
Downtown only had a one-second power outage yesterday afternoon. I heard a transform blow somewhere. Last night, though, that was a windy one! Around 12:30 a.m. there were some incredible gusts that buffeted the house. As I lay in bed I could feel the whole room shake. I was waiting to hear some crashing sounds, but, thank goodness, there were none.
I went with Comprehensive Tree Care, Inc. (http://www.ctcincmd.com/) out of Frederick. Owner Mike Fried not only was the only company that answered their phones on Tuesday (actually, only company that responded at all), he also came to my house that same day and cut the tree off my roof and cleared the path to my door. His team was there first thing the next morning to finish the job, and did a wonderful job of cleaning up the debris!

The effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, however, can often leave unwanted changes to the body, which cannot always be reversed with diet and exercise alone. Many women who strive to attain their pre-pregnancy figure become frustrated when they do not achieve the results they desire.
A mommy makeover is a fully customized, comprehensive body rejuvenation treatment plan that can address a number of common cosmetic concerns simultaneously. Most mommy makeovers combine plastic surgery procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, and/or liposuction. This combination of procedures can effectively counter the bodily changes brought on by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Each mommy makeover procedure is tailored to meet the woman's unique needs.
Our plastic surgeon at Richmond Aesthetic Surgery carefully designs each mommy makeover to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.
The best time to undergo a mommy makeover will vary according to each woman's lifestyle and goals. While some patients seek the combination of procedures soon after having children, others decide to wait several years. Although timing may be different from case to case, Dr. Zemmel informs women that they should wait at least six months after they have completed breastfeeding. Since a mommy makeover is not designed for weight loss—but, rather, body contouring or other forms of enhancement—patients should be near their goal weight, maintaining it for at least six months. Additionally, Dr. Zemmel advises patients to wait until after they have completed their families to undergo a mommy makeover, as future pregnancies may compromise the positive outcome of their procedures. Although this is considered the ideal timing, undergoing a mommy makeover should not affect a woman's ability to become pregnant or breastfeed in the future.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause the breasts to change size, the skin of the breasts to become stretched, and excess tissue to remain. As a result, drooping or sagging often occurs. With a breast lift, your plastic surgeon can restore the breasts to a more youthful position and eliminate any excess skin.
Though a woman's breasts may increase in size during pregnancy, breastfeeding can leave the breasts looking or feeling deflated due to an overall loss of volume. Breast augmentation with implants allows our plastic surgeon to restore lost breast volume with results that both look and feel natural.
Pregnancy and childbirth can cause the abdominal muscles to become stretched or torn, resulting in a laxity that cannot be corrected with diet or exercise. A tummy tuck (also known as an abdominoplasty) can tighten and repair these muscles while eliminating any excess skin and even stretch marks. Afterward, the abdomen can appear flatter, more toned, and provide a more athletic silhouette.
Oftentimes, diet and exercise alone prove ineffective at eliminating areas of stubborn fat that have accumulated during pregnancy. Liposuction is a body sculpting procedure designed for patients who are at or near their ideal weight but who still struggle with troublesome areas of fat.
Body fat grafting can redistribute a woman's natural tissues to sculpt a more proportionate and symmetrical figure. By harvesting excess fat from one area and transplanting it to an area such as the breasts or buttocks, our plastic surgeon can enhance the curves and contours of the body.

With laser skin resurfacing, our plastic surgeon can improve the texture and tone of the skin. This laser treatment can be used to minimize the appearance of brown spots, age spots, sun damage, and facial aging for a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion.
Injectable dermal fillers and neurotoxins offer a non-surgical solution to fine lines, wrinkles, and lost facial volume. These injectable treatments can be used to restore lost volume to the lips and cheeks as well as maintain youthful-looking skin.
Learn more about non-surgical skin treatments.
The details of your recovery from a mommy makeover will depend upon which procedures you choose to combine. In general after a mommy makeover, you can expect mild soreness, swelling, and bruising at the surgical sites. Oral pain medication can be used to alleviate discomfort, which should quickly resolve. Compression garments may be recommended to further facilitate the healing process.
Dr. Zemmel recommends patients arrange for help around the house as well as help with children during the first few weeks of recovery. Most patients are able to move around normally after one week and drive after two weeks. Lifting heavy objects, including small children, should be avoided for about six weeks while the body heals. After six weeks, you should be able to resume all activities, including exercise.
How Will My Mommy Makeover Scars Look?
Since the mommy makeover involves surgery, post-operative scarring cannot be avoided. However, Dr. Zemmel utilizes advanced surgical techniques and careful planning to ensure scarring is minimal and incisions are made in areas that are easy to conceal. While the location and size of the scars from a mommy makeover will ultimately depend on the specific procedures that are performed, patients can typically expect their scars to appear red and raised at first. Over time as the body heals, these scars should gradually flatten and lighten in color, becoming less noticeable. Post-operative care instructions will be provided to help further minimize your scarring after the mommy makeover process.
When Should I See My Mommy Makeover Results?
Results from a mommy makeover can often begin to be seen after the initial recovery period, but they may take several months to finalize. As the body continues to recover, the enhancement results should gradually take shape. While every patient recovers at a different rate, most women can see their final mommy makeover results within one year, after any residual swelling has subsided. During your follow-up appointments with Dr. Zemmel, he will provide you with a better understanding of when you should see your results. Should additional treatments be needed to achieve your desired outcome—such as with cosmetic injectables or body fat grafting—these can be scheduled as needed.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of a mommy makeover can range anywhere from $9,000 to $20,000 or more. The total cost of the combination procedure will take into account which procedures are involved in your plan. After your preliminary consultation with Dr. Zemmel, he can provide you with an estimate based upon your customized treatment plan. When considering your choices for a plastic surgeon, remember that the cost of a procedure typically involves the experience of the surgeon, the geographic location of the practice, and a variety of surgery-related fees. Qualifying patients can take advantage of our plastic surgery financing options, which can provide low monthly installment plans with little to no interest. To learn more about these mommy makeover financing options, please contact a member of our staff.

Top 5 Olympic Resorts and Race Pistes You Can Ski
Visually Impaired Skiing
Nordic skiing features the oldest snowsport to be included in the Winter Olympics - cross country skiing. This traditional Scandinavian sports has been a part of the games since their inception in 1924. The Cross Country events include long distance Mass Starts requiring endurance to cover up to 50km and short and fast sprints showcasing explosive power. Biathlon combines the endurance and power of Cross Country skiing with the skill and precision of rifle shooting.
Individual (Men's 15km, Women's 10km)
Athletes set out in 15-30 second intervals, Men can choose between Skate or Classic technique while Women must Skate. Traditionally courses feature 1/3rd Uphill, 1/3rd Flat and 1/3 Downhill.
Mass Start (Men's 50km, Women's 30km)
As suggested by the name all the athletes start together and can choose which technique to use on this long distance race.
Skiathlon (Men's 15+15km, Women's 7.5+7.5km)
A mass start Nordic race in which the athletes must complete the first half of the course skiing in the Classic technique and second half in Skate technique.
A short and fast race in which athletes can choose between Classic or Skate technique to cover a course of up to 1.8km.
Team Sprint
One of the most exciting XC events, teams of two cover a course between 0.8-1.8km in either classic or skate technique, it's fast and explosive, definitely one not to miss!
Relay (Men's 4x10km, Women's 4x5km)
Four athletes compete in succession with the first two skiing in classic technique and the last two using the skate technique.
Biathlon combines cross country skiing and rifle marksmanship and requires both stamina and skill. The sport has evolved from traditional methods of Scandinavian winter hunting in which a hunter would track and kill their pray using skis. There are six events, Sprint (Men's - 10km, Women's 7.5km) which has 2 rounds of shooting 5 targets in the prone and standing position with a penalty loop of 150m for each missed target, Individual (20km/15km) which has 4 rounds of shooting and a minute penalty for each miss and Pursuit (12.5km/10km) which has a staggered start based on the results from the Individual and Sprint competitions. There is also a Mass Start event (15km/12.5km) which as the name suggests has all the athletes starting together and 2 Relay events (4x7.5km/4x6km) and a mixed relay all of which allow 3 spare bullets which must be hand loaded individually if needed, for each target missed after the bullets are used the skier must complete the 150m penalty loop.


Elizabeth Essex » Romance So Good, It's Scandalous » Christmas Cookie Hop with the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood!
I'm thrilled to participate in the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood's Christmas Cookie Hop. We here at the Essex abode are peppermint fanatics: we mark the start of the holidays as the moment when tins of peppermint bark are stacked in the stores, and seasonal peppermint stick ice cream lines the freezer shelves.
~ Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
~ Combine 3/4 cup sugar, butter, egg, vanilla and peppermint flavoring in bowl; beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.
~ Crush the candy canes by placing in a plastic bag and smashing up with a rolling pin or meat mallet. Stir 1/4 cup crushed candy into dough.
~ In a separate bowl stir remaining 1/4 cup crushed candy into 1/4 cup sugar. For a more sparkling affect, crush the candy canes more finely and mix with coarse grain sugar.
~ Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls; roll in sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
~ Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Do not over bake.
~ Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
Enjoy!!! And if you want to eat these delicious cookies with a scoop of peppermint stick ice cream and a drizzling of hot fudge sauce you'll have my favorite Christmas dessert of all time.
Wishing you and yours a holiday filled with comfort and joy!

Günther Förg
09 Sep – 15 Oct 2022
In the exhibition at Galerie Thomas, works from three decades provide a good insight into Günther Förg's painterly work. Abstract and geometric, but at the same time gestural, expressive and spontaneous, Förg explores the possibilities and conditions of painting through the variation of surfaces, materials and colour contrasts - paintings which not only want to be looked at, but also have a shaping effect on perception.
Günther Förg's oeuvre is marked by a pictorial language that encompasses several materials and media, focussing mainly on the relation to space. Since the late 1970s, he developed this language in the fields of photography, painting, sculpture and installations. With his material-accentuating, abstract style of painting that often manifested itself in black and grey monochrome works, Förg also unlocked the potential of lead and aluminium as new painting substrates. In the 1990s, he created large-format, coloured window and grid pictures as well as works in the tradition of Colour Field Painting, but always in the context of exploring and reinterpreting spaces. In his photographic series, he dealt with buildings that shaped the 20th century history of architecture. Yet here, too, the relation to space remained important and inspired Förg to further explore architectural structures and construction elements, outside of their context, from an artistic viewpoint. Förg's works were exhibited at documenta IX in 1992. He became a professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts in 1999.

"I am a classicist at heart. I want to use a medium in the best possible way."

Just over a year ago, I blogged about a new system that I had developed to help make sure that my students were reaching as many of the outcomes outlined in our provincial curriculum's grade level outcomes document (called the Progressions of Learning here in Quebec) as possible within the school year.
The original idea for Purposeful #PhysEd came from a workshop I attended at the 2012 TAPHE-PHE Canada National Conference. The workshop was titled "Purposeful Assessment in Physical Education" and the two people presenting it (some guys named Doug Gleddie and Lee Schaefer) were showing the value of providing students with meaningful, purposeful feedback during class time.
Their idea of making sure that every thing you do in Physical Education be purposeful stuck with me, and I wanted to apply that concept to my curriculum mapping.
What do you think of Purposeful #PhysEd? How does it compare to your own curriculum mapping process? I'd love to hear some of your own ideas, so feel free to share them in the comments below!

Q: Using JavaScript's setTimeout to (somewhat) emulate smooth scroll I am trying to (somewhat) emulate a smooth scroll using JavaScript. I am very close to what I want, but my logic currently makes the window scroll past the section it's supposed to scroll to and finally jumps back to it. I think it has something to do with the setTimeout I'm using but I can't figure it out.

var linkToAnchor = document.querySelector('a[href="#section-2"]');
var anchor = document.querySelector('#section-2')
linkToAnchor.onclick = function() {
  var i = 0;
  var distance = anchor.offsetTop - document.body.scrollTop;
  console.log("distance to be scrolled: ", distance);
  var pixelJump = 25;
  (function loop() {
    console.log("i: ", i);
    //debugger;
    console.log("current scrollTop: ", document.body.scrollTop)
    if (i + pixelJump > distance) {
      document.body.scrollTop = anchor.offsetTop;
      console.log('its over')
      return;
    }
    if (i > distance) return;
    i += pixelJump;
    scrollBy(0, pixelJump);
    console.log("new scrollTop: ", document.body.scrollTop)
    setTimeout(loop, 50);
  })();
}
[class*="section-"] {
  width: 500px;
  height: 300px;
  background-color: red;
}

.section-2 {
  background-color: orange;
}

  SECTION 1
  link to section 2

  SECTION 2

  SECTION 3

Here's a portion of the debug output from the script:
distance:  308
i:  0
current scrollTop:  0
new height:  25
i:  25
current scrollTop:  308 ##### WHY DOES THE SCROLLTOP JUMP TO 308 FROM 0?? ####
new height:  333
i:  50
current scrollTop:  333
new height:  358
i:  75
current scrollTop:  358
new height:  383

A: Use preventDefault to stop the browser from scrolling to the anchor on its own. Keep the hash in the href. It's a graceful fallback for non-js users.
linkToAnchor.onclick = function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  // ..
};

Is a Bikini Body a Pipe Dream?
As spring is fading more into summer, the anticipation for warmer weather is only growing more intense. Warmer weather brings the opportunity to wear less, show more skin, and enjoy many outdoor activities. However, though summer is one of the most anticipated seasons, it also is a time that can incite stress. For one, many people assume that in the summer you have to be at your peak body condition. For most, the winter and spring are devoted to achieving a great body for the summer. The idea is that through intense workout regimens in the off-seasons, you will be able to enjoy a gorgeous body in the summer.
Though this sounds like a great idea, not many get to achieve it. Why? Working out is not easy. If it was, everyone would look like sun-kissed models. Instead, you get a more realistic mix of people, some thin and others overweight. But what keeps everyone from achieving the perfect summer body?
Motivation is enough to begin a goal. In its definition, motivation is a general desire or a reason to act on something you would like to change. Overweight people won't have the motivation to change if they don't see a problem with their weight. Ultimately, it is their own motivation that will begin their process to workout and gain a new level of health.
Impulses are dangerous pests that could keep a person from achieving their dream body — or anything. Impulses are those small little urges to act on something, whether it is good for you or not. Desire is a complicated construct because it can be both something good, as well as something bad for you. In this case, if you are acting impulsively, you may be reverting back to fast, foul habits. For instance, you may be eating fast-food, gulping sodas, and ingesting surprising amounts of sugar. An impulse would be a desire to drink a soda, but knowing it is not what you need to achieve your weight goals. Giving in to these impulses is one of the many ways most people don't succeed in their weight goals.
Drive is one of the main things that will help someone reach a weight goal. Without enough drive, a goal can be overruled or ignored, which means you will go back to bad habits. Though motivation will give you a reason to do something, drive will keep you working at your goal. If you lose drive, losing weight will become almost impossible, as the need to work hard will diminish. Losing weight is dependent on your ability to work hard, consistently. Without that contant drive, you will lose the will to workout, eat well, and make smart, health-conscious decisions.
It is no secret that Americans struggle with their weight. 51 percent of all adults want to lose weight, but only 25 percent of them take their goals seriously. This lack of drive keeps many from achieving their goals, or even trying to live a healthier life. According to a Gallup survey, adults over 23 years of age report being 15 pounds heavier than they were in 1990. Of course, age does naturally make it harder to burn fat and easier to gain weight, especially when you are injured or busy. However, though you may have obstacles in your way, that doesn't necessarily mean that you should ignore your health. Exercise is still incredibly important to the body.
Roughly 160 million people in the U.S. are overweight. This statistic can be alarming when you find out that over two-thirds of adults are overweight. But why? Though motivation, impulses, and drive are needed to lose weight, ultimately society as a whole needs to change as well. If weight gain is normalized, obesity could become an even bigger problem. Because motivation is when you have a reason to change, if you see no reason to change, you never will. In American society, sugar, fat, and carbohydrates are introduced into almost everything we eat. If you do not exercise regularly, you are allowing your body to hold onto those fat-inducing ingredients.
Weight loss is never easy, that is why having a body you are proud of is such an achievement. Just because you need an extra boost in weight loss, does not necessarily mean that you are not capable to lose the weight yourself through diet and exercise. After any procedure, whether non-invasive laser lipolysis or a surgical tummy tuck, your drive will allow you to keep your new body in the long run.
Non-surgical weight loss methods are a great place to continue your weight loss goals, especially if weight loss is proving harder than you anticipated. For example, if you are severely overweight, your knees might make it difficult to support your weight, as well as workout at the same time. However, with a little help from a laser lipolysis, you can get rid of a few extra pounds, in order to make exercise that much easier.
At Superior Health, we offer laser tummy tuck services to our patients. The point of this type of procedure is to aid your body in reducing fat, while allowing you to live a happier, healthier life. Our procedures are not meant to obtain a summer body, they are reserved for those who want to see an active change in their life and health.
If you believe you could benefit from our practice, contact Superior Health today.
