So it's a shame about the world's other billion cars… Price £39,930 MPG 31 Top speed 155mph Last summer the celebrity chef and motor enthusiast James Martin set out on a week-long tour of these isles in search of our best and worst roads. Packed into his car and funded by Mobil 1 was enough scientific testing equipment to give even Professor Brian Cox something to think about. State-of-the-art technology measured noise and vibration, driveability and congestion. James's heart rate, sweat and stress levels were also recorded. It turns out that the A74 from Lanarkshire to Kirkton is both the bumpiest and noisiest road in Britain, with decibel levels of 80 meaning it's as loud as having a whistle-happy referee sitting in the backseat. Overall, the worst road is the M1 at Sheffield and the best the A82 from Glasgow to Fort William. But what makes a road good to drive is so much more subjective. For me nothing ever......

Goldman's Jim O'Neill On 'The Most Important Thing This Week'

The answer, obviously, was Italy. Okay, then, what was the second more important thing? According to O'Neill, only one person he talked to know the answer: Chinese inflation. He writes: China:  The Latest Data and the BRICs.   This week, we saw the usual monthly release of most of the important data in China, which again showed signs of slowing momentum in the economy.  The data also showed slowing inflation and signs of a continued narrowing in the trade balance.  Also important was the monetary data.  While M2 showed further softening, the data also contains hints of stabilization and more high frequency signs that suggest monetary signals are shifting. While many debate whether China’s “soft landing” will allow monetary easing, at the margin, it looks as though they are already.....

Burning $2,000 On A Gas Fireplace: Worth It
GOOGLE Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:02:00 GMT
For centuries, homeowners have gathered around a fire to keep warm, chat and cook their meals. Today, most American homes have central heating, but the allure of a fire hasn’t diminished — whether it’s a wood-burning fireplace, a free-standing gas stove or, in a pinch, even the image of a burning log on a midnight television screen! While there’s something to be said for the sounds and smell of a wood-burning fireplace, a lot of homeowners are opting for the ease of a gas insert. Today’s gas fireplaces look realistic, need minimal maintenance and can heat an entire room. There are three kinds of gas fireplaces.     Gas inserts: This is gas fireplace that can be fitted into an existing wood burning fireplace.     Built-ins: A fireplace that can be installed into the wall where there wasn’t one previously     Log sets: Gas burners that sit in existing fireplaces and are more for aesthetics than heat Gas Fireplace Cost: $2,000 to $5,000 for the fireplace and installation.
