Honda says that this exceptional 47 kmpl efficiency is a result of the aerodynamics and its small but powerful battery.
The Fit EV's 123PS coaxial electric motor develops 255Nm of torque and is mated to a driver-selectable 3-mode electric drive system which is essentially derived from the CR-Z Sport Hybrid.
Additionally, the Fit EV's battery can be charged in less than three hours when connected to a 240-volt circuit.
The Fit EV's 20-kWh lithium-ion battery claims to deliver a range of 131km, which surpasses the previous record holder, the Ford Focus electric (121.6km).
Honda will start leases in select California and Oregon markets this summer, followed by an East Coast rollout in 2013.
Cricketer and newly elected Rajya Sabha MP Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday said no to staying in the bungalow allotted to him saying he did not want to waste tax payers' money. Sachin refused to take possession of 5, Tughlaq lane allotted to him in the capacity of being a Rajya Sabha MP.
Sachin explained why he decided against taking the bungalow opposite AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi's house. "I am not keen on staying in any government bungalow when I will be in Delhi for only a few days. I feel this would be a waste of tax payers money and it would be better if the bungalow is allotted to someone else who needs the bungalow more than me."
The cricketer said that he would prefer to stay in a hotel in Delhi every time he is here. "For me the honour of being nominated as a Rajya Sabha MP matters much more than the perks and privileges like being given a government bungalow," added Sachin
A first time Member of Parliament is allotted a Type 5 or Type 6 accommodation. However, due to security reasons, special exception was made for Tendulkar. He has been allotted a Type 7 bungalow, which is spread over 7,000 square feet, has big lawns and five spacious bedrooms. The bungalow will be done up before the start of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, when Tendulkar is said to debut his political innings.
When should you move from dating to being husband and wife? Every relationship is different. Every couple has different dynamics. You should get married when YOU feel the time is right. Not the society, not your family, You. You should get married when:
You are totally, madly, completely, head-over-heels in love. Not one-sided, only when it is reciprocated. You feel she is The One. There is no one better than her for you. No one gets you like she does. You feel you’ve been in the dating circle long enough and if you let her go, you’d be the biggest idiot on earth.
You are mature enough to understand what marriage really means. When you’re ready for real commitment. When you are responsible enough to take care of another person, support her financially, and emotionally. You should understand that it is a big move and would mean sharing your life with someone till the day you die.
You are in a real relationship where both of you are level-headed people, who respect each other. You have arguments and fights, but you deal with them like adults, talk it out, not jump up and down like six-year olds. You know disagreements are part of your life. There’s no running away. You are a team. No one is superior to the other. You’re honest and open with each other and share everything, all your dreams and insecurities, and even your failures.
You feel you’re ready. You have waited long enough. You’re settled in your life and work. You know your goals and aspirations. You know what is to have a family, have a child. You’re not driven by societal or family pressures, or the fact that you’re aging quickly. You have come to this decision based on your feelings and thoughts.
There is no ideal time to get married. Only you and your companion know when it's right, no one else. Get married when you’re absolutely certain that no one makes you as happy as her. You could find that person at any age. There are no set rules. Just make sure you both are on the same page and when that happens, pop the question.
According to TMZ, Lohan is insisting the accident was not her fault and that she was cut off by the truck. But a report on X17Online.com says she sent a text following the accident claiming that her new boyfriend, photographer Gavin Doyle, was actually the one driving.
Still, the actress is not known for being the best driver. In March, she was accused of striking a nightclub manager while behind the wheel of her Porsche, which already had a good amount of damage to its right side. In September 2010, Lohan clipped a baby stroller while speeding around a West Hollywood corner in a Maserati. Her first DUI, in May 2007, resulted in running her car up onto a curb in Beverly Hills, while her second DUI just two months later in July occurred as she chased down her assistant and the young woman's mother while driving an SUV high on cocaine.
In March, a judge finally ruled that Lohan's five-year probation from the first DUI was over. Time will tell if this new incident will land her in hot water with the law again. And if so, Lohan is not taking any chances: her lawyer, Shawn Holley Chapman, met her at the hospital following the crash.
Regardless, we hope Linds is okay!
Introducing tōd!
tōd (pronounced "toad") is an exciting and powerful new way to connect your mobile device* to the world around and right in front of you, using our bite-sized ultra low power Bluetooth 4.0 enabled Smart Beacons.
When a real world action occurs — like your child wandering off, arriving at the corner market or your teenager not coming home — your mobile device will respectively register an ‘out of range’, ‘in range’ or ‘scheduled’ event based on physical proximity, or lack thereof, to a Smart Beacon.
These three core proximity events trigger a digital interaction that provides you with instant and automatic feedback. Be it a notification alerting you that your child has gone out of a predetermined range, an instant up-to-the-minute offer from the deli when you walk through their door, or informing you that your teenager did not come home as scheduled.
Smart Beacons extend the functionality of your mobile device by providing offline and web-connected experiences through the tōd App and tōd Cloud.
Your devices native functionality provides basic offline interactions with your Smart Beacons when not connected to the web. When connected to the web, you can experience the full range of digital interactions and connect to Smart Beacons other than your own.
Smart Beacons are programmable, providing open development for DIY platforms and electronic projects that can include sensors and other add-on modules. Smart Beacons offer an alternative to Wi-Fi for your projects by leveraging the versatility of Bluetooth Low Energy technology and your mobile device for connectivity.
How does it work?
Using the three core events of ‘in range, ‘out of range’ and ‘scheduled’ you can build and configure tōd App Interactions around everyday actions, people places or things. App Interactions are totally customizable and access rights can be public, private or in groups that you control.
Your tōd Smart Beacon and tōd App is ready to go out of the box with 10 Default App Interactions

If your pet is wearing a smart beacon and jumps the fence you will get a text, email or whatever notification method you choose automatically

Apparently, the ammunition industry has found a target audience, as well.
The Hornaday Manufacturing Company, an ammunition maker in Nebraska, is marketing Zombie bullets, which are made for all types of firearms, from pistols to rifles to shotguns.
“Be prepared for Zombiegeddon,” it states on its website. “Just in case … Get loaded with Z-MAX Bullets and prepare to “Mist"-ify Zombie varmints!”
Who is buying these bullets?
“Everybody,” said John Murray, a firearms salesman at Ramsey Outdoor in Ledgewood, N.J. “They work just like any other bullet, but the tip is green.”
Green, apparently, is the official Zombie-killing color.
Murray said Ramsey Outdoor doesn’t have the bullets in stock at the moment. “We carry them when we can. We haven’t been able to get a lot. They’re very popular.”
According to Murray, all types of people have come in asking for the bullets.
Zombie bullets was the brainchild of Hornaday president Steve Hornaday, who is a fan of zombie movies and TV shows, company spokesman Everett Deger told local news outlet CBS Detroit. “This is probably one of the only [product] launches that we’ve seen when people who are not in the hunting and shooting industry will go out and purchase this,” he told CBS Detroit.
The marketing has been a boon to Hornaday, which this week won a People’s Telly Award for its “Zombie Max” video about a man in a fight with the undead who was prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse with Hornady ammunition.
Interested in testing the bullets? Hornaday is sponsoring “Zombies in the Heartland – Pandemic 2012” later this month in Grand Island, Neb. The three-day shooting match gives enthusiasts a chance to test their skills against a variety of Zombie targets.
And if you can’t make it to the Zombie hunt?
“We sell Zombie targets,” said Ramsey Outdoor’s Murray. "The paper targets are very popular. And we have a plastic cast one that oozes liquid when you hit it. We don’t sell as many of those because they’re kind of expensive. But they're good targets.”
