1942 Packard Super-8 One-Eighty news, pictures, specifications, and information
Convertible Coupe
Only about 100 Packard-Darrin Convertible Victorias were built over a three-year period from 1940-1942. This sporty and luxurious Packard Convertible Victoria was based on a customized Packard made for actor-singer Dick Powell by automobile stylist Howard 'Dutch' Darrin. The sleek Victoria had a cut-down windshield and a gently sloping door line - the 'Darrin' dip - that kicked up toward the rear.
The Custom Super 8 One Eighty Convertible Victoria came standard with a 356 cubic-inch engine that produced 160 horsepower. The engine was coupled to a 3-speed manual transmission and had a top speed of 85 mph. This 4,040 pound car sold for $4,595, which was quite expensive for that era, but Packard was able to sell every one.
For 1942, production of the Victoria was turned over to Sayers and Scoville, a firm that built ambulances and hearses. They produced about 35 Victorias.

The Packard 180 made its debut in 1941 in New York and was to be a replacement for the legendary Packard Twelve. The Packard 180, along with the companion 160 Series, had a modern design with headlights integrated into the fenders for the first time. The interior was equally as modern, with a dash fascia molded almost entirely in plastic.
World War II would halt production and after the war, the company sold its tooling to the Russians. This left the mid-priced Clipper as the company's sole offering after the war. The art of coachbuilding was also coming to a close, as new construction methods all but did away with this craft. Howard 'Dutch' Darrin was one of the few coachbuilders that survived past the late thirties. Darrin had relocated to California and opened a shop in Hollywood where his work catered to the stars.
Near the close of the 1930s, Darrin created a series of special-bodied Convertible Victorias atop the Packard chassis. They were distinguished by their 'vee' windshields, long hoods, and the famous 'Darrin dip' in the beltline near the rear of the doors. The popularity for these cars quickly rose and in response, Darrin set up production in Connersville, Indiana. They carried a relatively high price tag of $4,595 but they had the style to match. All of the circa 50 examples produced were sold. 15 were assembled for 1942 before WWII put a halt to production.
This example was one of the 15 produced in 1942 and was used in the filming of the 1970s television detective series
, starring George Peppard. During the 1990s, the car was treated to a restoration by Packard collector Ralph Marano.
This Packard One-Eighty is the only Convertible Victoria to feature a three-position convertible top - meaning the top can be either closed, completely open, or partially open.
Mounted under the bonnet is a L-head eight-cylinder engine that displaces 356 cubic-inches and produced 165 horsepower. There is a three-speed transmission and four-wheel hydraulic brakes.
In 2008 this Darrin-bodied car was brought to RM Auctions 'Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook' where it was estimated to sell for $225,000 - $275,000. Bidding exceeded those expectations as the lot was sold for $330,000 including buyer's premium.

Howard 'Dutch' Darrin was a flamboyant designer, based in Hollywood. In 1939, after having successfully sold a handful of custom Darrin Packard's to celebrities such as Clark Gable, he proposed marketing his custom convertible as a glamour leader for the Packard brand.
Unfortunately production never achieved the numbers Darrin or Packard had hoped for. They were originally offered on the 120 and 180 chassis. Bodies were initially built by the Auburn Central Company, former manufacturer of Auburn cars. However, by 1941 they had a huge contract to build Jeep bodies for the military and couldn't built the low-volume Darrin bodies. Picking up the contract was Sayer and Scoville, of Cincinnati, a builder of professional cars and limousines. By 1942, they had become Hess and Eisenhardt and had instituted some small design changes to the cars.
The ultra-exclusive 1942 Darrin was based on a One-Eighty series, Model 2006 Special, 127-inch wheelbase chassis. It was powered by the 356 cubic-inch Packard Super 8 engine, rated at 160 horsepower. The 1942 Darrin weighed 3,920 lbs and listed for $4,595. The 1942 model was the last Darrin built before all civilian car production was halted for the duration. This particular car was number 9 of only 15 built for 1942. These were the last of the Packard Darrins.

By 1940 Darrin-customized Packards appeared in Packard advertising and were favorites of individuals who wanted something a bit more distinctive than Packard's regular offerings. One such individual was western film actor and singer Gene Autry who purchased this car new in Dallas, Texas in 1942. Auto designer Howard 'Dutch' Darrin began customizing Packards at his Hollywood shop in the late 1930s but eventually shifted production to Connersville, IN where this car was built.
The Darrin bodied Packard Model 180 rode on a 127 inch wheelbase and was powered by a 356 cubic-inch straight-8 engine offering 165 horsepower. It was fitted with a 3-speed transmission with overdrive. A base price of $4,595 limited sales to only the wealthy.
It was used by the popular star of over 90 movies and the hit radio show, 'Melody Ranch,' until 1951. This car was a part of the collections of several prominent car collectors including Otis Chandler, Bob Turnquist and Richard Kughn who sold it to the current owner in 2014.
The last Packard Darrin built, it is the fifteenth of fifteen examples constructed in the 1942 model year. It is handsomely liveried in medium blue with blue interior, brown carpets and blue top. It is fitted with a three-speed transmission with overdrive, radio and heater.

By 1940, these Darrin-customized Packards now appeared in Packard advertising and were favorites of individuals who wanted something just a bit more distinctive than Packard's regular offerings.
One such individual was western film actor and singer Gene Autry, who purchased this car new in Dallas, Texas in 1942. This car was part of the collection of several prominent car collectors, including Otis Chandler, Bob Turnquist and Richard Kughn. The current owner acquired it from Mr. Kughn in 2014.

The 180 series used Packard's big, 356 cubic-inch inline eight which developed 160 horsepower.

This example was originally owned by the singing cowboy, Gene Autry and he drove the car until 1951. It is the last of only 15 Packard Darrins built to special order at a price of $4,595.

Convertible Victoria
This 1942 Packard Custom Eight Convertible Victoria with coachwork by Darrin was once owned by motion picture actor George Raft. These Darrin built cars were essentially one-off, custom built cars. The first versions were built in Hollywood, California before production moved to Connersville, Indiana, where the rest of the Darrin-designed Packards were built.
When the Packard Company began automobile production in 1899, it was known as Ohio Automobile Company. In 1903 the name was changed to the Packard Motor Car Company when it moved from Warren, Ohio to Detroit, Michigan. The move was the result of a majority stock purchase made by investors in the Detroit area.
Packard had sustained a Great Depression and a World War and was still at the fore-front of vehicle production. Advances in automotive technology and design were making vehicles more and more exciting each day. During the early forties Packard decided to compete in a broader market by introducing the Clipper, a vehicle aimed at higher production but lower cost.
The Briggs Manufacturing Company was tasked with building the Clipper bodies. This conclusion was made after the Briggs Manufacturing Company had stated and proven to the Packard Company that they could produce the bodies cheaper than Packard. Production of the bodies began and the price Briggs Manufacturing Company had quoted Packard proved to be too low, so the price was raised leaving Packard with the extra cost. It would have been cheaper for Packard to produce the bodies themselves.
The sales of the Clipper series were very successful, outselling Cadillac and LaSalle. The vehicles were stylish, durable, and elegant. The body of the vehicle had been designed by the legendary Howard 'Dutch' Darrin. The Packard 120 was the company's first sub-$1000 car. It was aimed at stimulating sales and increasing production.
The sixteen valve eight-cylinder engine powering the Clipper was capable of producing 125 horsepower, a rather high figure at the time. The modern body, stylish interior, excellent performance, and Packard quality made the Clipper Series very desirable.
In February of 1942 the United States Government ordered all manufacturers to cease production of automobiles and shift their priorities to war related efforts. Packard began the production of aircrafts and marine engines, ambulance and military vehicles. More than 60,000 combined engines were produced by the Packard factory during the war.
In 1945 the war had ended and Packard went back to automobile production. They had made $33 million through their engine and military vehicle sales, $2 million was used to renovate and update their facilities. Packard was in excellent financial condition. Most of the automobile parts that had been created prior to the war were in bad shape. They had been put in storage in order to make space for equipment that was needed to design and build military vehicles. The storage was often subject to the weather and the elements. As a result much of the equipment and supplies needed to be replaced.
When automobile production began, Packard decided to only produce the Clipper Series and abandon the other model lines. For 1946 Packard produced the Clipper Six 2100 and 2103, Super Clipper 2103, and the Custom Super Clipper 2106. The Super Eight and Custom convertibles were added in 1947. In 1949 Packard introduced the 23rd Series Eight and Deluxe Eight.
The Clippers were very unique and innovative for their time. They featured an alarm on the gas tank that would whistled as the fuel was pumped, stopping only when the tank was full. The running boards and door hinges were concealed adding to the smooth appearance of the body. The Clipper Series were also very wide. This not only gave passengers extra interior room but it gave the vehicle stability at speed around the corners. The width was a foot wider than it was tall making it the widest vehicle in production at the time.
The sales of luxury vehicles began to decline near the end of the 1940's and continued into the 1950's. This hurt Packard production and sales for their high-end luxury vehicles declined considerably. Packard's were built so well that they lasted for a very long time. So Packard did not have very many repeat customers because their customers did not need to purchase another vehicle. The president of Nash Motors, Mr. George Mason, had approached Packard about a merger during the early 1950s. He believed that the days of independent car manufacturers were soon to be gone. Packard was reluctant and thought otherwise. 1954 was another bad industry for the luxury car market and Nash Motors merged with the Hudson Motor Car, forming American Motors. In 1952 James Nance was elected president and general manager of Packard. In 1954, Nance merged Packard with Studebaker in an effort to diverse their product line and stimulate sales for both struggling companies. Studebaker had a larger network of dealers, a potential benefit for Packard. Unfortunately, Studebaker sales dipped dramatically and this ultimately hurt Packard more than it helped.
World War II and the Korean War had come and gone. This meant their entire defense contracts had ceased, ending nearly half a billion dollars in income.
In 1953 Chrysler bought Briggs Manufacturing, the producer of Packard bodies. Packard was forced to find another company to produce their bodies. None was found and Packard formed a temporary deal in 1955 with Chrysler to have them produce their bodies.
By June of 1956, production of Packard automobiles ceased. Production of the Packard model names continued for a few years but was adorned with Studebaker nameplates. By 1959 this style had ended and only the Studebaker name prevailed. In the early 1960's the Avanti and Lark were able to make a small profit for the Studebaker-Packard Company. In 1962 the decision was name to drop the Packard name from the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. In 1966 Studebaker was out of business.

The Champion in Touring Car Racing : The BMW M3
In August 1985, a rumour surfaced in motor magazine Auto-Deutschland which emanated from a new sports car. An A Group Car from BMW that was a thoroughbred racing car according to the rules but was also to be produced in a version licensed to drive on open roads for everyday use. Speculation about this dream car that could take to normal roads and was intended for the 'Most dynamic among BMW 3 Series drivers' was right on target. But the pundits missed the mark about the motor-sport car by a mile...

Oil Notes is a fantastic book, and Rick Bass is an equally outstanding author. I have since read everyone of his books. He vividly defines his feelings and passions in everything he writes about, be it drilling for oil or studing wolves.
Throughout the book, many facts that are in oil exploration also coexist in life. For example, Bass claims that "Nothing lasts. Old seas are buried" (42). Not only is Bass talking about the soon to be scarcity of oil, he is talking about life. No matter how much you try, you will not live forever. Rocks do not last forever; eventually they become stones, pebbles, and eventually sand. That is the same with life. Life does not last forever. Unfortunately, death is inevitable. Everything that is thought to last forever...love, hatred, and friendship...will cease to exist when the person dies.
Another example of life being told in terms of oil is when Bass talks about leadership in the field of geology: "A leader-in a profession of men and women who cannot be led, and will not" (135). Bass says that those are the type of geologists that everyone needs to stay away from. They are the geologists with the egos that are bigger than their head. In life, staying away from people like that would help a lot. People with big egos refuse to help people and also refuse to be helped.Read more ›

In 2011, the top mobile apps deployed within enterprises were for email, field service, CRM sales and workflow. Will these apps be the most beneficial for your business? Only you and your team know that answer because every mobile journey is unique.
In less than two minutes, most CIOs can describe three or more (different) mobile scenarios that could help their business be more productive, reduce costs, improve customer relationships or be more efficient.
- A bakery with national distribution wants to increase the number of deliveries each truck makes by receiving orders earlier in the day and pre-loading delivery trucks.
- A cleaning company wants to bill clients earlier in the cycle by collecting employees' daily onsite reports rather than monthly aggregated reports.
- A video production company needs to speed its responses to customers by streamlining the approval process for each review cycle, expense report, travel request and purchase order.
- An auto parts distributor needs to share its inventory and ordering across all partner sites to ensure that suppliers and customers have the parts they need.
- A retail company wants to improve its interaction with mobile-toting consumers by designing a mobile-friendly website.
Every company has a business relationship, need or process that can be improved with mobility. The most important question is where can mobility provide the biggest benefits in your business? The answer will depend on your user types and their mobile devices, existing business processes, current systems and platforms and known inefficiencies.
That's a big mix of variables. Six months from now you can shake those variables again and identify new mobilization projects that have sprung up based on the success of the initial deployments.
- At the cleaning company, executive management wants to see business analysis reports on a daily basis.
- The video production company wants the sales team to enter new work orders so that they can see a full view of the project pipeline and forecast potential revenue.
- The retail company is now ready to mobilize its inventory for its suppliers.
The list goes on and on because mobility breeds mobility. Once one group is mobile, others will want to mobilize their business processes and mobile recommendations will be coming into IT fast and furious. That's the amazing thing about mobility: It unleashes creativity and inspires people to think about nontraditional and better ways to do their jobs. A large jewelry company, for example, wanted to safeguard the samples that sales people were using during sales calls. The company realized it could slash its insurance costs by putting images of its inventory on mobile devices rather than traveling with the expensive jewels to different customer sites. That's the power of mobility.
Build Once, Deploy to Many
To meet the requests for mobility that start coming in from across the company, CIOs will need to invest in a flexible, end-to-end mobility solution that adapts to current and future mobility plans.
A word of caution, though - while speed and efficiency are important, you will want to develop a mobile business model that can be replicated easily. Some early mobile adopters were quick to mobilize a small business unit or a specific application, but they could not repeat the process when other groups asked for something similar. Without that ability to build once and deploy across many scenarios, mobility suffers and becomes costly in both capital and operational expenses.
Enterprises that deploy open, extensible platforms can replicate a pilot program for one unit or group out to other departments, across multiple mobile devices and operating systems and business applications. With this model in place, companies can cherry pick apps that will give them quick, early successes. A pilot program of 20 field personnel, sales people or executive management is often a good place to start. These groups are already highly mobile and eager to work on their mobile devices.
They are good test cases for developing UIs across multiple device types and operating systems, as well as initial integration to back-end systems. They can also provide feedback on data syncs between onsite platforms and mobile devices. Another important area to test is app enablement and onboarding. The first experience that users have with the mobile app is the most important. When large sets of users download the apps, the configuration, security, access profiles and all the initial set-up routines should be uniformly easy and user friendly.
Think Big or Go Home
According to a September 2011 Yankee Group report, companies are focusing their investments in mobile solutions on improving responsiveness to customers (48 percent), providing mobile access to existing applications to improve worker productivity (41 percent) and transforming business processes to improve operational efficiencies (30 percent). These companies have started their mobile journeys and are leveraging mobile as a way to combat economic challenges and ride what we all hope will be a return to a more profitable, business-friendly year.
Looking at mobility from a single perspective, as in mobilizing one app or giving mobile devices to a lone group, kills its potential. An end-to-end mobility strategy that addresses the entire life cycle from app development to deployment to support and training is a necessity for being better prepared and more competitive in 2012.
Truths About Mobile Business Apps
- Building mobile business apps is harder than building consumer apps.
- Mobile business apps leverage the features of the enterprise app that are most relevant to the mobile user. Not every feature and capability will be transferred to the mobile app.
- Mobile business apps are updated three to five times more often than traditional enterprise apps.
- Business apps often need offline data storage. More data means data syncs have to happen when there's a strong connection. One or two bars will not be enough.
- Mobile application management support can reduce the app onboarding process from days to minutes.
- Mobile application development platforms that support build once/deploy to many can reduce the development time for Android, BlackBerry and iOS platforms from months to weeks.
- In looking at plans for 2012, every new app deployment should have a mobile component.
- App development and app management must be tightly coupled to ensure success.

Big Data engines are powering a lot of service businesses right now. Data is collected from users from wearable technologies, web behaviors, purchase behavior as well as several arbitrary data points we'd never think of. The demand for faster and bigger engines to crunch and serve up the data to services is growing exponentially. You see a LOT of correlation between "Cloud" and "Big Data" but on Big Data and "Hybrid," where hybrid hosting is the sanest approach to the Big Data Infrastructure pro...

We all know the latest numbers: Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 6.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide in 2016, up 30 percent from last year, and will reach 20.8 billion by 2020. We're rapidly approaching a data production of 40 zettabytes a day – more than we can every physically store, and exabytes and yottabytes are just around the corner. For many that's a good sign, as data has been proven to equal money – IF it's ingested, integrated, and analyzed fast enough. Without real-ti...

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Unless your company can spend a lot of money on new technology, re-engineering your environment and hiring a comprehensive cybersecurity team, you will most likely move to the cloud or seek external service partnerships. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Darren Guccione, CEO of Keeper Security, revealed what you need to know when it comes to encryption in the cloud.

We're entering the post-smartphone era, where wearable gadgets from watches and fitness bands to glasses and health aids will power the next technological revolution. With mass adoption of wearable devices comes a new data ecosystem that must be protected. Wearables open new pathways that facilitate the tracking, sharing and storing of consumers' personal health, location and daily activity data. Consumers have some idea of the data these devices capture, but most don't realize how revealing and...

Extracting business value from Internet of Things (IoT) data doesn't happen overnight. There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

She just can't keep her clothes on! Kyle Sandilands' model girlfriend Imogen Anthony poses for even MORE raunchy lingerie images
Australian model Imogen Anthony has been busy of late.
After posing wearing only a balaclava and a negligee, and then again smoking a cigarette, the 23-year-old girlfriend of shock jock Kyle Sandilands has starred in even more raunchy photographs.
The men's magazine star wears a green bra and underwear and stay-up stockings as she leans against the wall in a dark room in the images, shot by photographer Tristan Stefan Edouard.
Scroll down for video
What a poser! Imogen Anthony stars in yet another raunchy photo shoot, wearing green lingerie and stay-up stockings as she leans against a wall in the dark image
Green with envy: The 23-year-old men's magazine model gazes into the camera in a close-up
A close-up shot allows the blue-eyed beauty to show off her flawless skin and silver-blonde hair.
A change of pace sees Imogen kneeling on a bed in an all-black lingerie ensemble, a cigarette holder held up to her mouth.
She also sits on the edge of the bed, twirling her hair and staring directly into the lens of the camera.
In the boudoir: The blonde kneels on a bed and holds a cigarette holder up to her lips in another image
Mixing it up: The Sydney woman sits on the end of the bed and twirls her hair in another racy image
Silhouette: Imogen shows off her figure as she leans in a doorway
Last week Imogen took the unusual step of wearing a black balaclava over her head in an image posted to Instagram.
Aside from the headgear, the slim blonde wears only a revealing black negligee and stay-up stockings as she kneels on an otherwise bare bed, her fingers held up to either side of her head.
'Why does it feel so good... So good to be bad?' Imogen asked her followers in the caption accompanying the raunchy image.
What's going on here? Imogen shared a bizarre image of herself with her Instagram followers at the weekend
The confident young beauty was clearly impressed with the results of the photo shoot, sharing two more similar images with her more than 39,000 Instagram followers.
This week the doting girlfriend hit back at claims published in New Idea magazine that her boyfriend of three years only has six months to live due to his unhealthy lifestyle.
'Top US obesity expert' Dr Edward Jackowski reportedly told the magazine: 'Forget about the next few years, this guy won't live another six months at the rate he's going.
Lost the top? After covering up in a balaclava, Imogen decided to flaunt her face once again, and only covered her breasts with her forearms as she posed seductively
'Between chain smoking, fast food, lack of exercise and stress on set, the average person wouldn't even be able to get through the work day.'
Imogen took to Twitter on Monday night to vent her disgust at the remarks, which Dr Jackowski told Kiis FM on Tuesday he did not say.
'"Kyle has 6 months to live", how f***ing dare you? Trivialising someone's health for a headline is inappropriate as f***,' she wrote angrily.
'For the record, Kyle does not live a bad lifestyle, at all.
'How about I call you up and tell you your partner has six months to live?'
There it is! The 23-year-old, who has been dating Kyle for three years, decided to keep the tiny lace bra on in another image from the photo shoot. She also sporte some creative winged eyeliner

This is such a awesome book with such beautiful letters to our King. I love the table of contents that help one find a prayer for any occasion. The words are passionate, inspiring, and heart felt. I love and cherish my copy. It helps me find the words to define the feelings when I pray to God.

Great devotional book. I love reading Shepherd's devotional books. They always seem to be exactly what I need to read that day to help me deal with what's going on in my life. God has really used these books to speak to me. I would recommend this book to any woman who needs a good devotional book.

It's a good book to go along with Love Letters From Your King by the same author. The prayers and letters match up with one another, so if you want, you could read one letter and then prayer the coordinated prayer in this book.

BOSTON — It took five whacks of a Taittingers bottle, and help from a crew member, but Salma Hayek eventually christened Puma's "Il Mostro" yacht here, part of the sport lifestyle company's high-profile gambit to enter sailing.
This story first appeared in the May 15, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Puma will enter the boat in the Volvo Ocean Race, a 37,000 nautical mile, globe-spanning contest that takes 10 months. The race — and the better-known America's Cup, a darling of luxury marketers — are sailing's major events.
Puma hopes the voyage of the 70-foot yacht will help it sell boatloads of performance sailing gear and nautical-inspired lifestyle apparel. The company plans to build combination store-nightclubs in five major ports during the race, as well as launch distribution of a nautical-inspired sport lifestyle collection in department stores.
The German sportswear company, which inked the sailing sponsorship before being purchased by luxury conglomerate PPR last year, is under pressure to trim marketing costs and improve its U.S. sales performance. Sales in the U.S. fell 14.2 percent in the first quarter as net earnings slid 7 percent.
During a waterfront cocktail party Monday at the Institute of Contemporary Art on the South Boston waterfront, Puma chairman and chief executive officer Jochen Zeitz jokingly avoided questions about the boat's costs (double-digit millions, he eventually said.)
"We will be visible and present around the world for 10 months," Zeitz said. "The Volvo Ocean Race is much more rock 'n' roll, and hence much more Puma, than the America's Cup."
With simulated black webbing, stitched red stripe and tread bubbles on its helm, the boat is a mammoth advertisement for "Il Mostro," Puma's well-known Velcro shoe.
The race kicks off in October in Alicante, Spain, and will stop over in Boston, the only North American port and the site of Puma's U.S. headquarters, in 2009.
For Hayek, christening the boat was a family affair. She has a daughter with and is engaged to Henri-François Pinault, ceo of PPR, which owns 64 percent of Puma.
Wearing an Alexander McQueen Prince of Wales plaid coat and skirt, she described the ceremony to unveil and bless the three-story tall yacht as "magical."
The company named Hussein Chalayan as creative director in February. Zeitz said Chalayan will set direction for 2009 product next week when he has his first meeting with the Puma design team.

Great Front Desk teamPosted Apr 21, 2016 on Hotels
Location is perfect as it's right across the station and inside the square. Took us sometime to find it but perfect. Room on first night was rather old and up the staircase. The toilet was a little cramp and felt the room dusty. TV size...I rather not watch it and instead turned it on for MTV as it's too small. Second night was great! Enzo upgraded us and gave us the room on the main floor which was huge, toilets are bigger and next to the breakfast room. Great guys at the front desk. Always ready to help. Breakfast spread is limited but acceptable.Bed was a little but hard but it worked for both my son and I.

Great location from train station. No hot water for shower one morning at around 7am but there is hot water in the sink faucet. I had to take a cold shower with room temp of 10 degrees C. The front desk said there is a clump of hair in the drain and somebody is "fixing the problem". I do not see the connection between the hot water and drain excuse.

Tutto sommato mi aspettavo molto di meglioPosted Mar 1, 2016 on Hotels
Hotel dalla posizione ottima, ma con molte pecche in termini di comodità: innanzitutto al nostro arrivo non era disponibile l'acqua calda per un guasto che si era creato (risolto in poche ore ma siamo comunque usciti a cena senza avere avuto la possibilita' di farci una doccia dopo il viaggio). I muri sono troppo fini, e il neonato nella camera di fianco sembrava essere nella nostra stanza, insieme ad una miriade di uccelli starnazzanti che sembrava ci volassero sopra la testa tanto era forte il rumore che emettevano. Per il resto posizione ottima, personale cordiale ma da un soggiorno 4 stelle nel centro di Firenze mi sarei aspettato un maggior comfort nella stanza. Buona la colazione internazionale.

I had problems, but I you wont.Posted Feb 29, 2016 on Hotels
I have noticed, that in Italy, the "star ratings" of hotels are generally skewed. Not this one - this is really a four star property. I would stay here again to give them another shot. I only stayed one night. I had to transfer rooms because the toilet in my first room would not flush. Also - the wifi was weak and spotty. The concierge was reluctant to switch me rooms - then I learned why at about 1am. The bar (right below the room was very loud until after 2am). Then, at about 5am, the garbage men and street sweepers were super loud. The view of the plaza was nice, but it was very loud when I was trying to sleep. Very convenient to the train station (3 min walk) and the the Novella church (which was $5Euros to enter).

The hotel was pretty nice. Close to everything . Tony ( front desk) was very helpful . He gave us room on the first floor which had old paintings on the ceiling and told us little bit about the history behind it.

A couple months ago I was browsing Second Mile thrift store at 45th and Walnut, and stumbled upon a first edition of Design of Cities. After buying it (for under a dollar!) I opened it up and realized that IT WAS SIGNED BY HIM. IN 1967. As a UPenn architecture student you could imagine my thrill.
This reminds men of the time I met Mr. bacon in 1965 as a student at St. Joseph's College. A friend of mine and I were attempting to put together a symposium on Philadelphia and he graciously agreed to meet withus for a half hour. The symposiummnever got off the ground but it was a thrill to get to sit with himn for that time and discuss Philadelphia. He and Dithat two-headed monster, Clark-Dilworth, were the first to begin the long coming resurgence of Philadelphia which today seems to be gathering momentumcaprice, munedic

Who Was Julius Caesar?
View All Available Formats & Editions
He came. He saw. He conquered. Julius Caesar was a force to be reckoned with as a savvy politician, an impressive orator, and a brave soldier. Born in Rome in 100 BC, he quickly climbed the ladder of Roman politics, making allies--and enemies--along the way. His victories in battle awarded him the support of the people, but flush from power, he named himself dictator for life. The good times, however, would not last much longer. On the Ides of March, Caesar was brutally assassinated by a group of senators determined to end his tyranny, bringing his reign to an end.
Who Was Julius Caesar?
Nico Medina is the author of two YA novels. He works at a publishing house in New York City and lives in Brooklyn.

The three America's Cup syndicates based in New Zealand could sail their new AC72s in a test regatta on Auckland's Hauraki Gulf.
America's Cup Race Management has offered Emirates Team New Zealand, holders Oracle Racing and Italy's Luna Rossa Challenge the possibility of a match-racing event in the AC72 catamarans which will be used in the 34th America's Cup off San Francisco Bay in 2013.
AC Regtta Director Iain Murray revealed that ACRM have expressed interest in travelling to New Zealand to stage the informal event so that they and the teams can test the match-racing capability and also have a trial-run for the for the new class ahead of the Louis Vuitton Challenger Series and 34th Match.
By September, New Zealand will be playing host to five of the exciting new 72 foot, wing-masted catamarans. As ACRM have not received confirmation from the teams, it is not yet known where or when the regatta will take place. Logic would suggest that with Team NZ and Luna Rossa being based in Auckland, the regatta will be held in the City of Sails. That would leave Oracle Racing to make the 70nm journey south from Northport near Whangarei.
The event would be a test-bed for the ACRM television and new umpiring systems that involve the use of extremely accurate positioning data, which are essentially a beefed-up version of Virtual Spectator.
"It would be a test session for us and we would use the full electronic controls, which means that race boundaries would be used and we would interface with the full electronics package." says Murray.
While ETNZ and Oracle are both running two-boat programmes, this would still be the first opportunity for all the teams to engage in full-scale, real-life match-racing in the new class of boats, with the added bonus of not having to pay any regatta frees.
Seeing 22-metre (72-foot) catamarans charging around the Hauraki Gulf at up to 40 knots is something that should excite even the staunchest of Americas Cup sceptics. The closest thing that Kiwis have seen to this is the spectacular training race sessions held between ETNZ and Luna Rossa in the Waitemata Harbour.
