Fish Custard...

I went to the internet and I found this...

It was some Youtube clip from the folks from Feast of Fiction, showing the famous Doctor Who's Fish Fingers and Custard as seen on the Series 5 opener.

Surely funny but there are some recipes and how to cook your very own fish fingers and custard.

Fish fingers and custard are cool.

Audi S6 (C7)

The S6, a potent hardcore version of the A6, is proven to be a decent choice for those who are bad businessmen. With the latest C7 incarnation, this new S6 is all about being a much tamed alternative to the BMW M5 and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. However, just like those two, the S6 went to a major downsizing. For starters, the 5.2-liter V10 engine from the previous model has now been thrown away and replaced by a 4.0 TFSI engine.

2013 Audi S6 Avant

With downsizing comes with a price because with the 4.0 TFSi engine equipped on the new S6, you could expect a 15PS drop in the power department but this shouldn't be a worry because this 4.0L V8 engine comes with turbochargers so the result is 4,8 s (Limousine) / 4,9 s (Avant), faster than the previous model's 5,2 s (Limousine) / 5,3 s (Avant) time. What's more, the worthless 6-speed ZF 6HP26 tiptronic automatic transmission from the old S6 are gone and replaced by a much potent 7-speed dual clutch S tronic transmission for quicker shifting that led them to an unmeasured gap between them.

Also, the fuel consumption gets even better, 9,7–9,8L/100km Combined to be exact, much efficient than the old S6's 12,6–13,4L/100km, thanks to its stop start technology that stops the engine when stopped and then start again when the foot is on the pedal, to save petrol. There's also this new "cylinder on demand" cylinder management system that allows the V8 to run on fours or sixes, just like the present day Dodge Charger SRT8 or Chrysler 300 SRT8. However, here's a thing, When the V8 deactivates four cylinders under part load, the Active Noise Cancellation system (ANC) is activated.

Both the S6 and the S6 Avant won't be completed without Audi's quattro permanent all-wheel drive system uses the self-locking center differential and torque vectoring. For something else, this system incorporates the available sport differential, which actively distributes the power between the rear wheels.

Available colors are; Eissilber Metallic, Gletscherweiß Metallic, Havannaschwarz Metallic, Mondscheinblau Metallic, Oolonggrau Metallic, Quarzgrau Metallic, Estorilblau Kristalleffekt, and Phantomschwarz Perleffekt. If you want exclusivity and bespoke, there's always the Audi exclusive customization program that caters your special needs such as special paint finishes, special interior, various accessories and gadgets, and much more.

My comment;

The new S5 may have been has heavier than the old one but with a turbocharged V8 that is more quicker than the old one's V10 engine, new double clutch transmission, and everything else, I can say that this model is getting a bit interesting for me but sadly, this new model wasn't compete with the likes of the BMW M5 or the MB E63 AMG even though those three have turbocharged V8 engines and double clutch transmissions.

Let's Do The News! (June 8, 2012)

Anyway, now to do the news and since two of my pals left for important things to do, I have someone else to fill the gap. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, HERBIE!

(applause)

The Love Bug is in our studio!

Here it is! For the first time in our studio. HERBIE the LOVE BUG!

(applause)

So Herbie, welcome to our studio, do you have something to say?

(horn honking)

(audience laughing)

So you said you were having a jet lag ever since Forza 4 brought the Volkswagen Type 1 or 1200 or 1963 Beetle as part of the Meguiar's Car Pack, right?

(horn honking)

(audience laughing)

My gosh. I've seen everyone playing Forza 4 dressing the VW 1200 Beetle to look like you.

(audience laughing)

Anyway, what you got, Herbie? Some news? Okay let me see what you got...Hmmm....Oh....It says here that the second season of Oreimo will retain the title but a period (.) has been added on it. What can you say about that, Herbie?

(horn honking)

(audience laughing)

Excellent and um...says here that Oreimo is calling all fans to create a closing theme for their second season and the winner will be chosen as the second season's closing theme plus 110,000 yen/US$1,400 of cash prize.

Scoop: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-06-07/oreimo-accepting-submissions-for-2nd-season-ending-song

So Herbie, do you got any ideas?

(horn honking twice)

(audience laughing)

What do you mean no? Come on, you could at least give it a chance. Besides, I'm not at music school you know.

(audience laughing)

If you're in Japan and if you want your presence be known on Oreimo's second season, feel free to express ideas of what will the second season's closing theme song will be. You have from June 22 to July 31 to come up so get out there and do some blue sky thinking okay? Now anyway, moving on, oh dear!

(ooohh)

Says here that the Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere Light Novels Get PSP Game...

(horn honking twice)

...as an RPG game developed by TENKY to be released this winter.

Scoop: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-06-06/horizon-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-light-novels-get-psp-game

This is just unbelievable. Japanese video games have gone mental. Even with the arrival of the PSVita, why do most Japanese video game makers, no matter how big or small they are, they still rely on the PSP for creating anime-based video games. When will those make anime-based PSVita video games?

(horn honking five times)

What's that? Oh Herbie, I think you said that "as told earlier, PSP sales in Japan are still strong, that's why more and more Japanese video game makers still making PSP games".

(laughing)

I think you're probably right. Let's forget about this and moving on...Okay Herbie, show me what you got...

(beep beep)

2013 Roush RS Mustang

Uh, Herbie, what you showed to us is the Roush RS Mustang V6, a tuned version of the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 for those who are a little bit tight on the budget for tuned muscle cars.

Scoop: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/07/roush-adds-v6-powered-2013-rs-mustang-to-lineup/

What can you say about that, Herbie?

(horn honking violently three times)

(laughing)

What do you mean "I want him down"? That tuned V6 Mustang by Roush looks good for those who are looking for cheap tuned muscles. It costs 26,000 Dollars and what you get here is the 3.7L V6 engine remained untouched but it comes with the Brembo package, Roush lowering springs, a subtle body kit, embroidered floor mats, billet pedals and the requisite Roush badging.

(engine revving)

Uh, okay, that's what you want it Herbie but do you have something next?

2013 McLaren MP4-12C

It's a McLaren MP4-12C right?

(engine revving slowly)

I know. This is the improved version of the MP4-12C for the 2013 Model Year. As expected, the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 is now producing 616HP of power. Then some improvements include the 7-Speed SSG transmission, top speed is now 333km/h (207mph), updated version of the Intake Sound Generator (ISG) system, Headlights linked to rain sensor when in automatic mode, Easy-Exit electric seat function incorporating Seat Return (if specified), New Meridian audio equaliser settings (if specified) and more.

Scoop: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/mclaren-officially-reveals-2013-mp4-12c.html

I also expected a revised McLaren badge as well. So Herbie, what can you say?

(horn quickly honking three times)

(audience laughing)

You're exactly right Herbie. Pretty soon, this improved version will be round the Top Gear Test Track and have its standings rose but that takes time my dear Herbie. That takes time....Anyway Herbie, what's next?

(horn quickly honking two times)

Oh, the Chevrolet Volt, for the 2013 Model Year, sees an improved range to 38 electric miles, 98 MPGe. There's also a new EV Hold Mode that forces the car to burn gas and "hold" the energy in the battery for later use.

Scoop: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/07/2013-chevy-volt-increases-range-to-38-electric-miles-98-mpge/

Uh, sounds reasonable, right? For this PHV, he he he...

(engine gently revving)

(audience laughing)

Herbie, what's that? What's that? Oh! I get it know. Says here that Anne Curtis is confirmed shooting Hollywood film "Blood Ransom"

(wow)

Scoop: http://www.push.com.ph/features/7980/anne-confirms-shooting-hollywood-film-blood-ransom/

Sounds good news to us. Anne Curtis tweeted us on Twitter, confirming that she'll be on the Blood Ransom movie. The tweet says...

"Blood Ransom. Coming soon. https://www.facebook.com/BloodRansom"

...and this whole Blood Ransom movie will be directed by a Filipino-American named Francis dela Torre. How excited to see that. Even with life after "IT'S SHOWTIME", that Anne Curtis grown up so fast.

(engine gently revving)

(laughing and applause)

Anyway Herbie, bad news. I'd picked up some news that a Mexican boxer, Antonio Margarito, the former world welterweight champion who was suspended for 16 months after plaster was found in his gloves, retired on Thursday after an 18-year pro boxing career.

(awww)

Scoop: http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/controversial-antonio-margarito-hangs-up-his-gloves

“After much thought and extended conversations with my family and team, we have all agreed that the time to hang up my gloves and begin a new chapter in life has arrived,”

I guess that this Mexican boxer has left the ring for other things on his hands or should I say fists, right?

(engine slowly revving two times)

So, Herbie, do you have something to share before we left?

(engine slowly revving, then horn honking five times, and engine revving with excitement)

What? The Stig drove you round the Top Gear Test Track?!

(engine slowly revving, then horn honking five times, and engine revving with excitement)

Really? Do you have the footage?

(engine revved with excitement)

Okay, let's play the tape!

Guess The Stig took you very seriously, right. So, what's your best time?

(engine slowly revving, then horn honking five times, and engine revving with excitement)

1:29.475? You're pretty good, Herbie. You're pretty good. You did well, so when will you come back in our studio, Herbie?

(engine gently revving, and horns honking gently two times)

(audience laughing)

Anytime you want? You can stay with us! At least most Forza 4 players dressed their VW 1200 to look like you, right? It's okay, you can stay with us.

(engine revving with excitement)

(audence laughing and applause)

And that's the news!

Ladies and gents, THE BELTA IS DEAD!

Toyota Belta (2005-2012)

Listen, I went on the internet and I found this....

2012年4月下旬 - 生産終了。以後は在庫のみの販売となる。

You know what this is? I jumped through the Japanese Wikipedia article about the Toyota Belta (which of course a Yaris Sedan) and this is what I found. Do you guess what that is? Anyone speak Japanese?

That's right! THE BELTA IS DEAD! No longer produced on the Higashi Fuji (Kanto Auto Works) plant since April 2012, a month before the unveiling of the eleventh-generation Toyota Corolla (E160)!

To everyone from Tianjin, Chachoengsao, Santa Rosa, Karawang, and Sham Alam, consider this a wake up call because when Toyota stop producing the Belta in their Higashi Fuji plant, you should better do the same!

THE BELTA IS DEAD!

NO MORE BELTA!

BELTA IS DEAD!

Okay, I maybe a bit mental for now. About the Belta, It was launched in November 28, 2005 and it was based on the second-generation Vitz/Yaris. The lineup consists of the 1.0L and 1.3L variants, FF variants have the CVT and 4WD models have a 4-speed automatic.

In August 25, 2008, the Belta received a facelift with a new grille.

In August 2009, the Belta's 1.0L variant and the 1.3L 2WD variants have improved fuel economy to accommodate Japan's ECO CAR GENZEI system.

In April 2012, production of the Belta ended.

Read: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%88%E3%83%A8%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BB%E3%83%99%E3%83%AB%E3%82%BF

Now while waiting for the response from those whether they will stop selling the Yaris Sedan in the US, can we just say that with production of the Belta from the Higashi Fuji plant ended, I really wish that those will never built the Belta, ever. There will be no FMC Belta for now because...THE BELTA IS DEAD.

Leopaul's Heaven and Hell: Some idiots obsessed with soundtracks from Hollywood movies

Time for another Heaven and Hell and this is another one of my tale to tell....

I'd never realized that there are some idiots around there are obsessed of finding soundtracks from various Hollywood movies. Why is that? Why are you guys so obsessed with it?

With so many Hollywood movies being showing in theaters worldwide, how come they are so many movie goes are getting obsessed with those background musics heard on various Hollywood movies? Is it because they're spectacular? Is it because it so fun to listen it over and over again? Is it because it's way more fun to listen than anime or video game sound tracks? Not so because only a bunch of complete clattering buttocks are only obsessed with it. You only like a movie not only because of the actors or the storyline but you like it because of the music score you find it better to listen over and over again. This is just nothing but a waste of time. When you finished watching a movie, what you want to do is search on the internet for a original motion picture soundtrack of the movie you've watched. Movies from past to the present, it really doesn't matter unless you were a bunch of GOLDEN COCKS who are obsessed for the motion picture musics.

Thanks to the observation via GOOGLE INSIGHTS, most idiots from the Czech Republic, United States, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Canada, United Kingdom, Chile, Australia, and Germany spend the whole month searching for movie soundtracks. No wait, gets worse. If I set the timeline for ONE WEEK, turns out the UNITED STATES was in the lead of finding movie soundtracks, even those which are recently showing in theaters. So, how come the power of Hollywood movies attracted not just the movie goers who are excited to watch a movie but also movie fans who love original motion picture soundtracks?

This thing is seriously uncool. I kept visiting the Webmaster Tools to check out the ABNORMALITIES of my blog and guess what it came out on the ABNORMALITIES list? It's like someone's finding a soundtrack from THE LINCOLN LAWYER or DARK SHADOWS! I'm sorry, I really don't have that one because THERE IS A RULE ON MY BLOG;

I CANNOT ALLOW UNAUTHORIZED AUDIO DOWNLOADS. YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT?

Sadly then, it's 2:00 AM PST and I have to go to sleep right now before my Mommy discovered I'm not. Unless those COCKY STUFF has to put to an end, it seems that those clattering buttocks became too unstoppable to find the best original motion picture soundtracks. When will you guys stop?

If you have an argument, don't be afraid to POST A COMMENT. Come on! POST A COMMENT! It's not that hard, right? Come on! POST A COMMENT!

That is all for this Heaven and Hell. I find something that is truly irritating, this should be on my HEAVEN AND HELL segment. Until then, some idiots obsessed with soundtracks from Hollywood movies are considered HELL.

Consumer Reports reviewed the Toyota Aqua...and they didn't like it

Once again, Consumer Reports took a beating against Toyota and this time Consumer Reports didn't like how the Toyota Aqua (Prius C in international markets) performs because of descriptions like "lackluster," "hard plastic," "cheap materials," "dead steering" and "slow."

Toyota's Aqua compact hybrid was launched in Japan since December 2011 and with the fuel economy of 35km/L based on Japan's JC08 Mode test cycle, it was heralded as the most fuel efficient hybrid car ever made, eclipsing the Prius hybrid. It costs 1,690,000 Japanese Yen for the base model and it was covered onto Japan's Eco-Car Genzei system for incentives.
