See used MINI Convertible listings in your area.Used Listings
When BMW bought the Rover Group in the late-1990s, it inherited a floundering MINI brand. And we're lucky it did. Because BMW released the all-new MINI Cooper in the U.S. in the 2001, followed by the MINI Convertible in 2005.
Coming into the 2013 model year, the MINI Convertible carries over from the 2012. There are three trim levels: Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works. The Cooper provides the basic amenities expected of a premium hatchback, and a 1.6-liter engine that produces 121 horsepower. Fuel economy ratings are 27 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, and it hits 60 mph in 8.9 seconds. The Cooper S gets a sportier look inside and out, and a 181-horsepower, 1.6-liter engine that hits 60 mph in just 6.8 seconds. It's good for 26 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. The John Cooper Works bumps the 1.6-liter engine to 208 horsepower, netting a 6.6-second 0-to-60 dash to go along with ratings of 26 mpg city and 34 mpg highway.
Though a base model, the Cooper is still relatively well-equipped. A 1.6-liter engine with 121 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission are standard, as are: speed-sensitive power steering; keyless entry; a convertible top that opens in just 15 seconds; 16-inch alloy wheels; and a chrome grille. Inside, you'll find a Mini Connected infotainment system with iPhone connectivity, an HD Radio and six speakers; a multifunction steering wheel with audio controls; and push button start.
The Cooper S is the higher-performance version of the base Cooper. It has a twin-scroll turbocharger that ups output from the 1.6-liter engine to 181 horsepower, but shares its six-speed manual transmission with the base model. A Cooper S comes with an aggressive hood scoop; a black mesh grille; and dual chrome exhaust tips for a more muscular look. Inside the cabin, the Cooper S features aluminum pedals and sports seats.
The John Cooper Works is the highest-performance MINI you can buy. It squeezes 208 horsepower from the 1.6-liter engine, but specifies the same six-speed manual transmission found in other Coopers. A sportier suspension, electronic differential lock control and JCW-exclusive 17-inch Challenge-Spoke wheels are standard on the John Cooper Works.
We have partnered with trusted dealers in your area to give you a great price on the new MINI Convertible.
This is how it works:
Excellent fuel efficiency, low base price and stylish, but lacks power, cramped cabin
Powerful base engine, impressive turbo engine, but poor fuel efficiency and unrefined engines
Excellent fuel efficiency and automated manual transmission, only seats two, slow, negligible cargo space
Stylish , optional panoramic sunroof and good highway mileage, but lackluster performance

For today's post I thought it would be fun to share with you how to make doll sized Candy Canes that you can have your dolls hold and enjoy or that can help them decorate their own Christmas trees.
To make doll sized candy canes you will need:
- Red Pipe cleaners
- White Pipe cleaners
- *optional and not shown Green Pipe cleaners
- craft scissors to cut the Pipe Cleaners
- a ruler
Step 1– Measure 4 inches on your pipe cleaners and carefully make cuts. You should be able to cut three 4 inch pieces from one piece. Repeat on both your red and white (and green if you would like) pipe cleaners.
Step 2– Twist to pieces of pipe cleaner together to create stripes
Step 3– Bend a "hook" on one end of your pipe cleaner to create your candy cane
Step 4 – Place in your doll's hand or on a doll sized tree, and repeat the steps until you run out of pipe cleaners. These can be used year after year and look great on a full sized tree as well!
If you are looking for your own doll sized Christmas tree, I found the one in the photos above from Walmart. It was $1.97. The dress Chrissa is wearing today was made by Sew Crazy Army Wife on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/sewcrazyarmywife) and to dress up the dress I added a holiday ribbon I saved from last year. You can dress up your own holiday outfits easily by adding a holiday print ribbon to a dress you may already have.
I hope you have enjoyed today's craft I look forward to sharing more crafts with you soon!

I've never done anything on my own with mountObject, but now I'm finding a pressing need to make it work. I've been testing on tsStatic, but ultimately I'm going to need to do it with PhysicsShape (or, GameBase if we want to go deeper, unless it's going to go all the way down to any SceneObject).
I just discovered PR #680 and I see it on the list for 3.8. Did it make it in? I'll have to DL and test it, hadn't gotten around to it, but am curious if anyone has any help for me on this issue anyway.
For example, do we still need nodes named "mount0" etc or can we just mount to any node now? And does the mounted shape still need a "mountpoint" node? Or is all that just the ShapeBase implementation?

eCommerce industry is dynamic and growing faster than ever. In this fierce competition, you need smart and creative marketing strategies to gain greater visibility and sustainable growth. Here, growth hacking plays an important role.
'Growth Hacking' the term was originally coined by Sean Ellis in the year 2010. Since then, growth hacking has become a marketing buzzword and every eCommerce store is trying different tips for growth hacking.
Before we discuss growth hacking tips for e-commerce businesses, first, let's know what exactly growth hacking is. In simple words growth hacking is all about leveraging the resources at your disposal to experience exponential growth in terms of conversions, traffic and promotion.
So, here are 4 proven growth-hacking tips for your eCommerce business
To Go Viral
Making your product or brand go viral is the best technique to pave your way to incredible growth. It is not simple though but you need to be creative and different from the herd to make your product or services go viral.
Shareability and freebies are two great attributes to make any thing go viral be it your content, product or services. Let's dive deep how you can use shareability and freebies to promote your e-commerce business.
Power of Free- Let's just agree that we all love freebies. So, when you give away a free product or service to consumers there are chances of getting it viral. But make sure the giveaway product or service is of high value to your consumers else it would do more harm than good. When people love your giveaways, it results in customer satisfaction and later customer acquisition. Many big companies have used this freemium technique successfully. Let me share an example of same.
For Example- MailChimp (an email marketing software platform) has used this growth hacking technique and they witnessed amazing results. MailChimp allows users to set up an account and send 12,000 emails/per month to a list of 2,000 subscribers for free. Users can enjoy basic features and later they need to upgrade to a paid plan to take benefit of premium features. MailChimp has tasted success with this freemium approach and is adding 30,000 free users and 4,000 paid users every month. So, think creative how you can utilize power of free.
Incentivize Sharing- Shareability is another powerful weapon in your marketing arsenal that can make your products go viral. But why would people share your content or product? Believing that you have created useful content or an amazing product and people will share. Well, this is far from reality. You need to give an extra push to people for sharing your content or product. Giving them some kind of reward or incentivize sharing can do wonders here.
For Example– Dropbox (a file hosting company) is a classic example who has used incentivize sharing brilliantly. Company allowed its users to save their photos and videos and share them with their friends for free. And to encourage users to share their site they started incentivize sharing. With this, they started rewarding users with an additional free storage space when they shared their site with their colleagues, friends, peers or anyone. This resulted in huge promotion of their site and within only 15 months, their user base went from 100,000 to an astronomical 4 million.
Referral Programs
Referral programs can do wonders for your e-commerce store. But for this, you need to come up with something fresh and engaging that can motivate users to refer your products to others. When done rightly referral programs can be so effective that they can increase your customer base manifold that too in a short time period.
There are mainly three main types of customer referral programs such as affiliate programs, customer referral programs and partner programs.
Uber (U.S based transportation company) is an excellent example of this. The company started offering 10 bucks to users who referred uber and users were allowed to refer upto 30 friends this way. With this referral program, both the parties were benefited. This helped them spread word about their services easily and company witnessed an increased customer base in a short span. And now-a-days, we all know, Uber enjoys a dominant position in the transportation industry.
Another brilliant example of this is Moo (a London based printing business card company). To encourage people to refer and share their products, they added a distribution mechanisms to their actual products and this worked like magic for them. Well, whenever you order a pack of business cards from Moo, they give you a mini 'pass it on' card you can give to your friends, peers, anyone so that they can receive discount on their first purchase with Moo. Another interesting thing they did to the distribution card is, they included a fun word game on it to further up the element of excitement. Besides these creative strategies company has garnered raving reviews for having a unique company logo.
Drip Email Campaigns
Email marketing is an effective marketing tool and when used strategically can give wonderful results. When we talk about email campaigns, drip email campaigns are an excellent growth hacks. Not convinced? Here are some statistics uncovered:
- As per a study by ExactTarget, 77% of consumers still prefer emails for all marketing communications, promotions and other updates.
- Besides that, 44% of email recipients made atleast one purchase on the basis of a promotional email.
- According to Prnewswire.com, personalized promotional mailings had 29% higher unique open rates and 41% higher unique click rates than non-personalized mailings.
Now let's know what exactly is drip marketing?
It can be defined as a communication strategy to send pre-defined messages to your target audience over a period of time. Whenever someone signs up on your site, you need to send them a series of mails on a pre-defined schedule and this is called drip campaign. It is referred as drip campaign as all the emails you send, consistently drip to your customers one at a time. Such emails are more personalized, timely, and target-specific resulting in better open and click rates.
Drip email campaigns are incomplete without the mention of upsell drip campaigns.
Upsell drip campaign targets specific customer behavior and this works well especially in case of e-commerce or other retail businesses.
For instance- Consider this scenario, a user on your site is reviewing home cinema systems and spends good time on your site reviewing different models you offer. Eventually, he/ she adds one to the cart and leaves. After monitoring user search behavior, you need to trigger a series of mails to the user to convince them to purchase the product and it has been witnessed this often results in shopping cart abandonment recovery. Many popular e-commerce stores uses this email marketing strategy.
Amazon is an excellent example of upsell drip campaigns
Let's take a quick overview of how a drip email campaign works:
- The first email should reach in the customer's inbox between 30-60 minutes of cart abandonment. Don't make it late than this otherwise the user might have made a purchase somewhere else.
The mail should include complete information about the product including features, benefits etc and don't forget to add a CTA button that easily takes them back to the site to complete the purchase without any hassle.
- Second mail should be sent between 24 hours that generally includes an enticing offer or a discount coupon but valid for a limited time period so that the customer actively takes the action to complete the purchase. Generally, after this mail, there are bright chances that customer will be tempted to complete the purchase.
- The third mail is your last chance of shopping cart abandonment recovery is to entice the customer with a bigger discount. If even after this mail customer does not completes its purchase then the chances are meager that he/she would return to your site for any purchase.
These series of mails target a specific user-behavior and does not follow a 'one size fits all' approach. Drip email campaigns are aimed at engaging the customer and prove an excellent growth hacker. Have you tried any drip campaigns for your store yet?
Retargeting or Remarketing
Retargeting is an effective growth hacking strategy as it acts as a powerful conversion optimization tool for online businesses. Remarketing refers to a form of online advertising that enables you to keep your brand in front of the bounced traffic (using display AdWords & other targeted display) even after they leave your website.
Retargeting results in better ROI as you are making advertising spend on people who have recently shown interest in your product or are familiar with your brand. It has been observed, majority of the users who visit your site don't turn into conversions in the first visit. Here, retargeting comes into picture as it helps companies reach maximum users who didn't convert right away.
However, to get best results out of your retargeting campaign, you need to be different from the herd. In the present scenario, users are flooded with retargeting ads and to stand out in this case you need to come up with fresh ideas that can drive conversions. For instance– Instead of using plain, text retargeting ads, you can use a compelling video, as it gives information in the most crisp form and that too in the shortest time. You can also show a customer testimonial video or anything that is different and engaging. Lastly, make sure that your retargeting ads have exclusive content and compelling call-to-action to drive maximum conversions.
Wrapping Up- There is no secret sauce to success, you need to come up with innovative ways to stay on top of the game. However, implementing the above mentioned growth hacks will surely help you experience phenomenal growth in less time. Keep growing!

WHAT TO BRING: Regardless of the apparent weather conditions, we recommend dressing in layers. It is usually 10 degrees colder on the glacier than in town. Please include the following items as you prepare for your trip:
LANDING SITES: Landing sites will be selected depending on various weather and galcier conditions. Clients may visit any of the following glaciers in the Juneau Icefield: Mendenhall, Taku, Norris, Herbert, Gilkey, Battle or Theil.
All NorthStar tours are operated under permit with the U.S. Forest Service in the Tongass National Forest.
PASSENGER WEIGHT POLICY: Passengers weighing 250 lbs. or more will be allocated additional space in the helicopter and will be required to pay a surcharge at the time of booking.
All trips are conducted in small groups to facilitate an informative and in-depth glacier experience. Appropriate mountaineering gear is provided for each level of trekking and no previous mountaineering experience is necessary.
Each of the treks includes approximately 30 minutes of flight time in an A-Star helicopter to take you to and from your glacier landing site. On the way, the breathtaking views of the enormous Juneau Icefield and the surrounding untouched wilderness are awe-inspiring. As your helicopter flight takes you from sea level up above the temperate rainforest, your knowledgeable pilot will point out highlights, such as the rare and unique opportunity to clearly view the diverse landscape of ocean, temperate rainforest and ice all in one glance.
Each level of trek varies in the amount of time on the glacier and the level of physical activity involved.
Whichever trip you choose...
We'll see you on the glacier!

If you were thinking that Blockchain technology was just a fad, give it a second thought as some of the biggest organizations in the world are swearing by the groundbreaking technology. Taiwanese Smartphone maker HTC is the latest to join the likes of Facebook and Instagram as the company is working on a smartphone built on Blockchain technology. Codenamed as Exodus, the smartphone would run on Android and support the cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum up and close. If that is not enough to create a buzz around the phone, HTC revealed that the phone would also come with "universal wallet" and a built-in secure hardware system to be compatible with the cryptos and decentralized applications. So what's all the buzz about?
Well, the makers are claiming that the Blockchain smartphones would beef up the security of the device further by integrating "cold wallet" storage in the device and opening up door for the direct trading of the native cryptocurrency on the phone's network sans mining fees.
Seems like HTC does not want to be a laggard in exploiting the full potential of Blockchain technology but the Taiwanese smartphone maker is not the first one to think of manufacturing such a phone.
Sirin Labs has already pumped up Finney, reportedly the world's first blockchain smartphone. Named after Bitcoin developer Hal Finney, the phone is expected to launch later this year. A report from Engadget reveals that Finney would sit on Snapdragon 845 along with 6GB RAM and 128 GB Storage. Phone's camera would be clocked in at 12 megapixels, f/1.8 lens with laser autofocus. On the front, it would supposedly be an 8 megapixel, f/2.2 Snapper with an 85-degree angle. A battery would be 3000 mAh, Bluetooth 5.0 and ultra-secure fingerprint sensor.
Well seems like HTC has a tough competitor to fight against. Meanwhile, Huawei is also testing waters when it comes to integrating the technology with its devices. To those who are completely green about how Blockchain can make smartphone better, you have some point unless the companies who are already working on it prove otherwise or maybe there is more than what's visible to the bare eyes.

Children's Book Review: Custer's Last Battle by Paul Goble
Custer's Last Battle: Red Hawk's Account of the Battle of the Little Bighorn
Author: Paul Goble
Publisher: Wisdom Tales
Date: August 7, 2013
About the Author
Paul Goble is an award winning author and illustrator of children's books. He has won both the Caldecott Medal and The Library of Congress' Children's Book of the Year Award. To date, Mr. Goble has illustrated over 30 books. He has given his entire collection of original illustrations to the South Dakota Art Museum in Brookings, South Dakota.
Custer's Last Stand From An Indian's Perspective
This book is a special edition of Mr. Goble's first book, "Red Hawk's Account of Custer's Last Battle." The account given in this book is fiction, but told in the manner of the published accounts of Indian people who had taken part in the battle. This edition features the illustrations in beautiful digitized color, scanned from the original artwork housed among the collections in the South Dakota Art Museum. This new edition includes a Foreword by Joe Medicine Crow, a 98-year-old former Crow tribal historian whose grandfather was one of Custer's own scouts.
The story of the Battle of the Little Bighorn is told from the Indian's point-of-view in a manner that children will understand. The color illustrations are outstanding. Children will gain a new understanding of this famous battle from the simple text and detailed illustrations in this book.
My Thoughts
I have been a fan of Paul Goble's work for many years. He truly makes history come alive with his authentic writing and dazzling illustrations.
I think children are interested in reading about Native Americans. They have viewed many "cowboys and Indians" movies on television. Many of the old westerns portray the white soldiers as the "good guys" and the Indians as the enemy.
Mr. Goble does not "sugar-coat" the story of this battle. War is hell and this battle was no exception. Many men and animals suffered and died on the day of "Custer's last stand".
Children will understand that the Indians were fighting to protect their families, herds and land. This is a sad chapter in American history but the truth needs to be told.
Most of the books listed in the "References" section at the end of the book are no longer in print. This list needs to be revised and updated to include books that have been published in recent years.
This book will make an excellent addition to public, school and home libraries.
Recommended for children ages 8 and up.
My Rating: 5 Stars Out Of 5
FYI ~ I received a complimentary hardcover copy of this book from the publisher.
Please share your thoughts in the Comments Section below.

Officials at Hereford's Courtyard Theatre want it repainted and to have new carpets.
But the council, which owns the building, has rejected the application for funding.
Managers at the theatre say they are now considering launching a public fundraising campaign to pay for improvements.
'Fresh look'
Chief executive Martyn Green admits officials will have to look at alternative ways of paying for the work in the wake of the council's decision.
Around 1.2m people have visited the theatre since it opened six years ago.
Officials say they are keen to maintain a fresh look for the building.

Philippines Ex-Prez Arrested
If you're on the run with the loot, maybe don't stop for medical care? Former Philippines president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, now a representative, was placed under arrest in a hospital on Thursday on charges of plunder. It's her second arrest and third indictment since she left office in 2010. Nine others were also charged in the case, which involves the misuse of millions of dollars from a charity fund. Arroyo is currently out on bail on charges of electoral sabotage, but she's not getting away this time: "plunder" is a non-bailable offense, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Louisville| Kentucky
ANALYSIS: What is happening in your community? What are the problems? What are the assets?
Lives are being taken in the urban Louisville Metro community due to the lack of community and connection among one another as well as the huge disconnect between law enforcement and the areas heavy patrolled. The good thing is that people are becoming more aware of this disconnect and willing to get involved with potential resolutions when presented with them

Coverting Visitors
I love Glengarry Glen Ross Movie. There really is no better sales monologue than when Alec Baldwin berates the lagging office while driving home a few great points about sales effectiveness. The simplest of those (besides "coffee is for closers") is ABC: "always be closing." While that is of course great advice for a sales rep (even Jack Lemon's character), it is equally true for a marketing manager when redesigning a corporate website.
Make sure that your visitors have a chance to convert in every touch that they have and earn money online from converting traffic. Think about the page visitors land on most frequently — your homepage. Most companies, in a rush to provide as many options as possible, do not do a great job of converting traffic from this page. Think about the characteristics of the typical corporate site: dozens of links, some sort of lifestyle image in a banner, and either no call to action or too many call to actions.
- Stick to one main call to action (flash demo, product test drive, key white paper, etc.) representing the one key thing that you hope your visitors do.
- If you have secondary calls to action, keep them smaller and in a different design element (different color, style of button, etc.)
- Make sure you have a call to action at the bottom of each interior page, even if it just a text link(s) to other areas of your site. Most site content simply ends at the bottom of the page leaving the reader to scroll back up to the top or click the back button in the browser.
- If you are linking off of your site (to partner sites, articles, etc.), set the link to open in a new tab/window to avoid losing the visitor.
Forex Signals Online
I was reading an interesting article about how you can make money online but you can also make money from trading foreign exchange using a profitable trading system.
Forex trading can be a great way to make money online on Forex market but you need to study a lot before being able to make profits trading Forex.
Forex Signals can be used by newbies too so they can trade without necessarily learning how to do it.
Make Money Online
There are many ways to make money online and starting a forex blog can be your way to financial freedom.
How will a forex blog make you money? Forex affiliate programs are very profitable because the commissions paid are huge.
So, you need to register a Forex affiliate program and promote Brokers on your forex blog. You will earn fixed amounts like $100 – $200 per active referral or a percent from the trades made by your referral.
So, a Forex blog can be a great way to make money online.
Recommended WordPress Web Hosting?
If you wish to make money online starting a blog on your personal domain name it's recommended to install the WordPress blogging platform.
What is the best WordPress hosting? in my opinion it's Hostgator.
You will get reliable web hosting at good prices.
Get Visitors
There are many ways to gett traffic to your blog and monetize it.
You can use PPC or social bookmarks and you can also promote your blog on Facebook.
It is very important to write good content because visitors will subscribe to your blog and return to read your future articles.
Best Blogging Platform
The Best Blogging Platform without doubt is WordPress in my opinion.
It has all the features needed to create a successful blog and it is easy to use.
Try it and you will never use another blogging platform again. The best WordPress hosting would be HostGator in my opinion.
Use WordPress with HostGator and you will not be disappointed.
Blogging Tips
Anyone can start a personal blog about a certain topic that you like and it can be free on platforms like WordPress or Blogger.
First of all you need to keep your Blog readers coming back to read more of your articles. So, your blog must be useful to readers.
Your visitors must enjoy reading your blog and share your articles with others.
Content is The Key
Quality Content is the key to keep your readers coming back to your Blog and this will help you to make money online from posting advertising on your website. If your Blog is about a specific niche then your content must be relevant to that topic.
Write With Passion
Write About You Like because if you'll chose topics that are not interesting to you then you will not write good articles and you will risk losing your readers.
Enjoying your writing will make you post quality content on your blog and attract new readers.
Keep it Simple
Simple Articles will be more attractive to your readers because it's harder to keep a visitors coming back when you write complicated articles.
Go With The Crowd
Follow The Trend and do not try to "reinvent the wheel", if others are already doing something that has great results you can also do it.
If you choose to promote product or services to earn affiliate commissions chose the ones that are already purchased by other because this means that people are interested in buying it.
Other Useful Tips
Interact With Your Readers and this will make your blog more attractive to them and keep them subscribed to your blog.

Building Design and Construction is becoming more complex in the new millennium. Building Codes, Energy Efficiency needs, and Public Health concerns, are imposing requirements on a building's performance that have not been seen ever before. Today's building stock will need to meet increasingly tough criteria of energy performance and air-tightness. This requires Architectural designers to have a greater knowledge of the physics of how a building system performs.
MFH Associates strives to understand an Owner's need and combine this with a deep knowledge of building science to achieve a design that performs well in the modern world for many years to come.

Snoop Dogg in Relaxed Mood Before Bangkok Concert
Snoop Dogg held a press conference at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok today (January 19th, 2013) ahead of his concert in Thailand. This is Snoop's first visit to the country and he arrives in Bangkok fresh from recording a song and a music video in Phuket. A new album is in the pipeline, titled Reincarnated, and it will be released in conjunction with a documentary movie and a book. In obviously relaxed mood, Snoop had spent the day shopping and taking in the sights of the city.
Snoop Dogg tops the bill in the Together Festival at Bitec in Bangna tonight, where he will appear alongside artists Justice, Max Vangeli, AN21 and Quintino.

The DI Width selection is under the Sonar tab ... (Make sure User Mode under Setup tab is set to Advanced) ... DI Width is available in HB SI units that do not have a dedicated DI piezo in the SI xducer - which would include all SI units except ONIX, ION, SOLIX and HELIX MEGA units ...Rickie
So if I get a Helix 7 SI G2 the xducer doesn't have a dedicated DI crystal? It uses the SI to create a DI image? What if I upgrade to the HD ducer?
Thanks for the added info Rickie. Have you seen the difference between the DI picture from blended SI units compared to the units with dedicated DI crystals? I'm wondering if it's a significant difference or hardly noticeable? I don't want to get a Helix 7 if the DI is low quality and isn't very useful.

One of the grand experiments in all of gaming is going even more experimental. Trion Worlds is announcing today that its Defiance massively multiplayer online game is going free-to-play this summer. If enough people join and purchase goods via microtransactions, then the shift to free-to-play could revive the fortunes of the game and boost demand for the SyFy television show that accompanies it.
Defiance has been a commercial disappointment, launching last year to poor reviews after five years of development. But it has a shot at a revival as season two of the TV show begins this summer. Trion Worlds has kept plugging away at it, improving the game experience and making it more engaging with downloadable content, said Scott Hartsman, the chief executive of Redwood City, Calif.-based Trion, in an interview with GamesBeat.
"It is time to open the game up wide to bigger audiences," Hartsman said. "It has a much better focus."
In shifting away from "buy-to-play" fees, Trion is moving in step with the inexorable trend of gaming. Free-to-play has taken hold as the preferred model for consuming games in social, mobile, and online titles. Only a handful of online games, like Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft, are able to continue charging for subscriptions. Defiance required an upfront purchase, and then most content in the game was available for free.
Defiance had some huge advantages as it was jointly developed alongside a major SyFy TV show. The show was a hit, but the game was buggy. It was also confusing as it combined genres like an MMO, role-playing game, and first-person shooter. The game didn't generate the kind of audiences that everyone expected, and it triggered some big management changes such as the appointment of Hartsman, who headed the development of Trion's first fantasy MMO, Rift. Hartsman said Rift's move to free-to-play has paid off enormously. Other Trion games are also going free-to-play.
Hartsman said that the process of converting Defiance to free-to-play has been easier since Rift already made that transition and Trion learned how to do it right. He said that the DLC helped sharpen the game's focus on huge dynamic events, where hundreds of players gather in one area to fight giant bosses. The events are dynamic because they are sort of like tornadoes. They can touch down on any part of the game world.
Hartsman isn't saying how many people are playing the game, but he acknowledges it has gone through a pivot.
"The amount of ambition in the original game gave it an identity issue," Hartsman said. "We hammered it with DLC and shifted it toward massive player-versus-environment dynamic events. That paid off."
In Defiance, the story centers on a Wild West town where the survivors of a post-apocalypse earth gather together. Alien and human races coexist in the town, and they team up to deal with monstrous threats. They constantly search for powerful alien technology that is essential for survival in the online world. The online game is set in a different town, and it evolves as a service, with a separate storyline that occasionally crosses over with the TV show.
Defiance goes free-to-play on the PC on June 4. Trion is targeting July 15 on the PlayStation 3, and it is still discussing details about the Xbox 360 release. New players will be able to play the entire Bay Area storyline, original end-game content, and future missions completely for free. Players who purchase a new box or digital copy of Defiance will get bonuses such as a grant of 1,000 Arkforge, a game currency that is redeemable for resetting weapon mastery or upgrading a weapon's power rating.
They will also get four character slots, five weapon loadouts, up to 75 Ark Keycodes, and 70 inventory slots. They will also enjoy 30 days of Paradise Patron status (which boosts skills, reputation, and other features) when Defiance begins its free-to-play service. Players can also get a 10 percent store-wide discount on things like boosts, costumes, and lock boxes.
Most of the things you get with the payment can be earned in the game by playing, but they take time, Hartsman said. In-app purchases are aimed mostly at convenience, cosmetics, and fun. It is not going to be a "pay to win" game, he said.
"In-app purchases are optional," he said. "There are no tricks or traps. When you pay money for something in the future, we want you to feel happy. Some companies put up a brick wall where you have to pay to advance further. Others make you pay to make the hurting stop. Here, when you buy a thing, you know it has value. That is the model we used with Rift."
Meanwhile, SyFy is readying 13 new episodes of the TV show, and it is also doing webisodes as a prelude to the season two launch. The game's storyline will cross over with the TV show in the coming weeks. In the latest twist, the world of Defiance will be rocked when the hope of Tranquility, the first Earthling-Votan hybrid on record, lies dying in Eren's emergency facility. As players track down the half-human and half-alien crossbreed's medical history, they will discover other forces are working to cover them up for a dark purpose.
Defiance has limited competition coming from games like Bungie's Destiny, but Hartsman said Defiance's MMO-shooter hybrid is unique.
"We are the only standing entry where you have massive battles with hundreds of people in an open world," he said. "That is the thing we hung our hat on."

So much has been made of Barack Obama's first 100 days, but what about Michelle? Our First Lady has also traveled the world, met with foreign dignitaries, and represented this country to the best of her ability. 100 days is hardly enough time to make a real conclusion about much of anything, but it sounds good. So the media is going with it. And so am I!
I'll leave it up to the diehard political junkies to analyze Barack's performance so far — the NBC/WSJ poll gives the President good grades, The Black Snob did a great post about Obama's 100 days (and she was on Nightline last night talking about this very topic!).
I think Michelle's doing an amazing job as First Lady of the United States. And I'm far from the only one who thinks so.
The Huffington Post gave her mostly A's and B+'s on her report card, and the Chicago Sun Times calls her first 100 Days "nearly flawless."
"Mrs. Obama's issue portfolio is substantive — and safe.
Healthy eating. Helping military families. Balancing work and family. Opening up White House events. Community service.
The past weeks have produced public events showcasing Mrs. Obama: planting the White House vegetable garden; bringing cooking school students into the White House kitchen; thanking federal employees at agency visits; dazzling Europe."
I can tell you from personal knowledge, many Trinidadians were heartbroken when Michelle didn't make an appearance during the Summit of the Americas. Heartbroken!
And in that regard, I really thought this CNN article Why Michelle Obama inspires women around the globe, was on the money.
"The notion of a woman being a first in anything is alien in many parts of the world. Millions of women struggle against sexual violence, discrimination and poverty, several women activists say.
But Michelle Obama offers a personal rebuke to that message. Her personal story — born into a blue-collar family; overcoming racism and once even making more money than her husband — makes her a mesmerizing figure to women across the globe, says Susan M. Reverby, a professor of women's studies at Wellesley College in Massachusetts.
Reverby says this is the first time many women have seen their class and color reflected in America's first lady.
"This is someone who appeals across the usual divides," Reverby says. "She is a celebrity you can imagine being, not a celebrity you have to watch from afar."
That's a big part of her appeal for me, her accessibility. Michelle Obama's rise to prominence has been such an inspiration, such a breath of fresh air. She's living proof that putting in hard work to get an education is worth it, and that's of immeasurable value to the children in the south side of Chicago, and neighborhoods like that across America and throughout the world. She is proof that you can balance work and family, train a dog, still keep it real by sneaking out for hamburgers every now and then (Five Guys Burgers and Fries FTW!), and still look beautiful and stay fit while doing it.
In Style's done a 100 Days of Style slide show of stunning photos, which certainly reveal our FLOTUS' passion for fashion. But for the naysayers and Fox News lovers, the fashion icon status of Michelle O is a subject for much hand-wringing and complaint. And maybe it's true, too much focus on her image could serve to undercut her messages — but as long as she keeps on doing inspiring acts, I see nothing wrong with her looking fabulous while doing them. And if she can have an effect on the fashion industry itself, all the better.
Just yesterday, Michelle attended a special unveiling event, after a decade, finally the National Congress of Black Women has honored Sojourner Truth with a memorial bust in the U.S. Capitol. The photos of Michelle, Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton unveiling the bust truly touched me. It's a symbolic act for all women, but I can only imagine what the moment meant for Michelle personally, the swelling of pride and amazement she probably felt. She spoke eloquently on the subject.
"Now many young boys and girls, like my own daughters, will come to Emancipation Hall and see the face of a woman who looks like them. I hope that Sojourner Truth would be proud to see me, a descendant of slaves, serving as the first lady of the United States of America. "
She sure would!
100 days in office, and Michelle Obama's doing a stellar job in my opinion. Of course there are others who disagree, but as I said in the comment I left on that aforementioned CNN article, it's gonna be a long eight years for some people.
What are your thoughts, bellas and fellas? What are your feelings about Michelle Obama's first 100 days as First Lady?

Grammy Award Winner Adele
British singer songwriter Adele won two Grammy Awards in 2009. Her Grammy for Best New Artist was awarded to her for her album 19. This album introduced her unique, rich voice to audiences everywhere. The album is full of songs which Adele soulfully expresses her emotional journey of her first bittersweet adult relationship.
Predictions of Adele's success were exceeded with her amazing chart topping success and the massive sales of 19 and its singles. -- "Chasing Pavements," "Hometown Glory," "Cold Shoulder," and her version of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" . Adele quickly began to perform sold out performances.
Adele: 21
Adele's new cd 21 was released with much anticipation. In this offering the singer explores other deep emotional experiences she has had endured as she has come of age. The songs offered here are beautifully written and delivered with the powerful force of her soulful voice. These songs celebrate the moving dynamics of love and heartache through a variety of musical moods.
Adele released the first single off of 21, "Rollin in the Deep", has been described as being a dark and blues gospel song perfectly fussed with a disco tune. The song which was co-written by Adele and producer Paul Epworth, includes other well-crafted songs. The passionate song "Rumor Has It", the orchestral backed "Turning Tables" and the imagery filled song "Set Fore to the Rain" have been crafted to allow Adele to express the full depth of her voice and talent. Even the song "Some like You" which was co-written with Grammy winning producer Damn Wilson helps to make this album a powerful and unforgettable.
In one year Adele wrote and co-wrote all the songs on 21, except the acoustic cover of The Cure's "Love Song". Adele collaborated with Paul Epworh to write "Rolling in the Deep", "He Won't Go", and "I'll Be Waiting". Ryan Tedder co-wrote "Rumor Has It" and "Turning Tables". "Set Fiore to the Rain" was Co-written by Fraser T. Smith and Francis White co-wrote "One and Only". The bulk of 21 were cut in a Malibu studio with Kensal Rise and Rick Ruben, who is famous for his work with the Beastie Boys and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Kensal Rose and Paul Epworth were the producers who were involved with the remainder of the album when it was cut in a London studio.
Adel has expressed her enjoyment and thrill for working with well-known producers and song writers in the creation of 21. She has sighted Rick Rubin for his brilliant ability to assemble the right band to work with her on the album. The band that Rick assembled was said by Adele to have been a timeless collection of talented professional who are fully invested in the creation of the music itself. The colaboration of singer and band were also ideal in the sense that they were more concentrated on creating something new as opposed to matching current trends. The band gave Adele the ability to opportunity to create such a rich and resonating album so early in her career.
The real appeal of Adele's album 21, is that it is sop intimate it allows for listeners to get to know the real Adele. Her personal emotional journey is one which several people can relate to. The singer has been quoted as saying, "I think I come across moody and serious with my music," Adele says, "but, in real life, I'm sarcastic and very cheeky. I really wanted at least one song on this album that was representative of me as a girl, as a person. I don't think the playful me came across on the first album. It's important to show growth and development."
The real life relationships which Adele has drawn so much inspiration from, was in her words, a blessing. Adele says she feels lucky to have gone through such a harsh relationship since it has allowed her to live in a more realistic world. Adele feels as if several other artists live in a protective bubble where they are never allowed to truly experience life. Adele said, ". I'm just screaming for my bubble to be burst. I met him and he was brilliant, it was a really great relationship and it went sour, obviously, because I made a bitchy record about him (laughs). He made me really passionate for myself, for him, for love, for life, for food, for wine, for film, for politics, architecture, traveling which I hate--I hate flying and stuff like that. He made me really interested in just being alive, which I hadn't felt yet. It was incredible." Adele has also says she fears that without the relationship her songwriting would have been about nothing more than boring and uninspired subject matter.
21 is about the turbulent and unpredictable road love can go down. It is also about finding peace after experiencing pain. Adele has said that her work on the album has made her more of a forgiving and understanding person.
During the run of her American tour dates, Adele was preparing for 21. The bus driver for the turn introduced Adele to a wide variety of American music. The driver played country, blues, bluegrass, gospel and rockabilly songs while she was on the bus. Adele is said to have been most inspired by the music of Wanda Jackson which the driver had provided for her. Adele has said that she included echoes of her music on songs such as "Rolling In The Deep" and "Rumor Has It."
Adele & the Country Music Influence
Since country music is more of a niche interest in England, Adele began to research the history of American country music. She delved in past the more mainstream offerings and in to more esoteric songs and songwriters in this genre of music for more inspiration. All of this inspiration has just made her already rich talents to have even more depth and complexity. Many attribute this to being the reason as to why her music has such a new and inventive sound to it.
This investment into learning about different styles of music led Adele to listen to music in a whole new way. She became so inspired by these new discoveries that she spent a month solid deeply researching music. "I locked myself in my flat and just listened to music for the first time. Etta James and stuff like that. . I became obsessed with hip-hop, rappers and MCs and lyrical poets...manipulate words and make them rhyme or make a really mundane thing seem like the most incredibly exciting euphoric thing, you know what I mean?"
The experience Adele has had between 19 and 21 is the same as others during this crucial time as people enter into young adulthood. The world is fortunate that Adele possesses the grace and ability to transform these events and feelings into songs which offer a transcendent voice to them. "To me," Adele says, "music is all about relating. I would never dare write a song about success or anything to do with my career, because it doesn't happen to many people. What I love about music is when I'm totally convinced that someone has written a song about me even if it was written 80 years before I was born. I would love it if someone felt that about one of my songs and I love it when people go 'I thought you were inside my heart or inside my head, you know exactly what I'm feeling.'"
With the superior songwriting and signing talents Adele has shown the world there is little doubt she has much more to offer. Fans are waiting with great anticipation fort what this talented young woman will give to the world next. People are in love wither talent, her ability to connect to them and the lovely young woman herself. She is sure not to fade from the spotlight anytime soon.

Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson walked through, over and sometimes under various parts of the UK. The result was the delightful Notes from a Small Island, which is recommended by me for anyone wanting to visit the UK. Anyone living in the UK, for that matter.
His publisher noticed the anniversary and suggested Bill make a few pounds by doing essentially the same book. Except this time, Bill is twenty years older and a lot more bitter. The country he regards as his home is falling apart as he looks, the consequence of a policy of permanent austerity.
Bryson manages to wring some humour from this as well though, some laugh out loud moments among the distaste at litter and poor punctuation. (It's a bug of mine as well. I've spotted typos in BBC news articles, people who should really know better.)
The longer the book goes on, the more annoyed Bryson seems to become with the whole enterprise. His language increasingly drops to gutter level as he approaches Scotland and the end of his travels. Speaking of which, he spends half of the book south of the Midlands and only a page or two in Scotland - so much for exploring the country.
At the end of the book, Bryson makes some comments about immigrants being potentially kicked out of the country. It was an odd ramble: all the people he mentions are American. So is my wife. We live in the UK and she's an immigrant too…but she has a document called a permanent leave to remain which means she can't be kicked out. I'm sure the people Bryson mentions do as well.
Spending time with Bryson is like spending time with a grumpy and increasingly miserable old uncle. One who is constantly saying, "Back in my day…". He's devoted to an idyllic England from 1955 that I'm not sure ever existed. More worrying is his tendency to repeat anecdotes he's already given in Notes from... as though they were new.
It's curious he arrived in the UK in the 1970s when we had the worst economy for a generation and such intense deprivation, yet he sees it all through rose-tinted glasses as a country of wonder.
In many ways (as Bryson notes), the UK is a beautiful place to live, with so many hidden corners that you'll never see them all. It's just a shame the miserable old git standing with you won't shut up about how much better it used to be.

"Why, then, don't you act when you see the danger of your conditioning? The answer is you don't see... seeing is acting." J. Krishnamurti
I recently found this on Reddit which your post reminded me of; a shot of the Andromeda Galaxy, from the sharpest view ever taken by the Hubble Space Telescope:
"The sky is just awash with stars when you're on the far side of the Moon, and you don't have any sunlight to cut down on the lower intensity, dimmer stars. You see them all, and it's all just a sheet of white." - Al Worden, Apollo 15 astronaut, in regard to being on the far side of the moon.
It makes me wonder about the beginning; how Genesis describes that there was light and there was darkness before there were any stars. The "light and dark" were simply separated.

Speculative Fiction 2012: The best online reviews, essays and commentary
A collection of essays, which have been published online 2012 with a wide variety of subjects, which start with book reviews and ending to critical essays and opinion pieces. I had already read a few of them, but a vast majority was unfamiliar. As can be expected some were interesting and some of the essays were less so. Probably the least interesting were a few long critiques about books I hadn't even heard, while the most fun were a few trashings of apparently rotten books which have written by people who don't have the slightest about the culture there are writing books about (Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff, review by Cynthia Martinez; Fey and Fallen by Stina Leicht, review by Martin Mcgarth). Other memorable assays were "Are Elves Gay?" by Gav Thorpe and "sour grapes" lamentation about the Clarke Awards 2012 by Christopher Priest . There were a few that I disagree with, even when I like them (But, But, But, -Why Does magic Have to Make Sense? By N.K. Jemisin - if it works, it MUST somehow make SOME sort of sense). A few were about subjects I didn't really understand or care (e.g. The Circus as Fantastic Device – Who cares?). As a whole pretty interesting book. I wonder if there will other collections like this?

#CrescerEmiliano – Creativity, innovation, quality of life, education and research
The mind as thoughts, creativity, and critical and cognitive development of the Emilian character. This is #GrowingEmilian.
Emilia is a creative land full of innovations and ideas that help every day to find successful solutions for a higher quality of life. The people, businesses and associations in Emilia are used to seeing opportunities for community growth in any problems or obstacles that arise on the horizon.
Our land was home to the first European university which began to train illustrious legal experts in the 11th century, becoming a cultural model and benchmark over the centuries for universities all across Italy and beyond.
But culture and education also mean the Reggio Emilia Approach, a markedly modern and innovative method of promoting childhood development, focusing on the concept of "competent children", as declared by Jesper Juul.
From their first steps to graduation, Emilia gives its citizens culture and knowledge, trust and awareness, but it is certainly not content with just that. Emilia is a land of opportunities that last a lifetime, opportunities for business, professional growth and scientific research.
In fact, many organisations work to promote start-ups, as do the centres of excellence for medical, scientific and agri-food research.
Then there is the lifelong learning network that spreads throughout our region thanks to private initiatives and the valuable support of trade associations.
Emilia is therefore a land that invests in the growth and development of the individual, starting from birth and continuing to offer valuable educational opportunities all throughout life.
The reasons are simple: the first one is its historical vocation. For millennia, Emilia has been a cultural crossroads located in a strategic military position. This has ensured it developed many major inhabited centres aimed at establishing an outpost that could defend the rest of Italy from barbarian invasions. The fertile land made these early military settlements (traces of which can still be found in our town structures) ideal points for the development of medium-sized towns, with all the potential and requirements that this type of expansion entails. This includes schools.
Consequently, Emilia became a key hub on the road leading to Rome, encouraging exchanges between different cultures and the growth of important, intellectually active urban centres.
The second reason is down to a character trait: the Emilian people have an enterprising nature and love to enjoy life.
We Emilians never just sit around with our hands in our pockets; we always want to be active and are bursting with ideas, while we love challenges. If we think that there is something missing in the world, we go out and make it, whether it's a new type of company, a new educational model or a different form of professional training.
Because at the end of the day, if something is missing, it is everyone's quality of life that suffers and we don't like that, because life is beautiful and we want to enjoy it to the fullest.
The minds of the Emilian people symbolise this very idea: growing together to live the best lives possible.

The Cyber Home Portable Dvd PlayerReviewing: Cyber Home Ch Dvd 300 | Rating:
As DVD technology gets fancier and more daunting, the basic players get cheaper and cheaper. After a long stretch of time, basic DVD players are affordable- even cheap – home entertainment options. You really don't have to spend too much to get a good working player. Case in point, the CyberHome portable DVD player. For thirty bucks or less, you'll get more then your money's worth.
This DVD player is marketed as "portable", and it is indeed manufactured to move well. It is a thin square box, about 7 inches by 7 inches, that is lightweight and compact. In an era where video game consoles are starting to outweigh TV sets, it's nice to have a player that doesn't cause so much wear and tear on an entertainment system. It's also a great DVD player for dorms or other places where space is at a premium. The only downside is that the remote is tiny too (it runs on a watch battery) and therefore very easily lost. You might end up taping it to the side of the TV just to keep track of it. If not, the buttons on the front will get your DVD going in a pinch. Almost all of the remote's functions are available through the control panel, which is a nice feature. The controls are intuitive without being overwhelming. You probably won't turn on the subtitles by mistake.
For a small player, it is also remarkably durable. I've owned it for 3 years. It's moved to two houses with me as well as college. It's taken a ton of spills on hard and soft floors. It's even had a glass of water spilled on it. This hasn't affected it's functionality one bit. The small but sturdy metal casing holds everything in place. I haven't had so much as a piece snap off. If you have kids who want a DVD player in their room, this could be a great option for you.
The player doesn't have too many bells and whistles, of course. It has all the basic functions of a normal DVD player and it can play MP3 CDs. It is compatible with Surround Sound or larger speakers, which is nice, and it has just about every connection jack imaginable on the back, but that's about it for your exciting options. This is not the DVD player for a tech-head. This is a DVD player for a kid who wants to watch movies in his room or your grandma who is scared of technology but wants to watch her Monk collections. It functions very well, but it functions very basically.
In conclusion, I have loved this DVD player for as long as I've had it. For the price, it can't be beat. It's durable, easy to use, and overall just a great little machine. If you don't have much to spend but you're ready to invest in a DVD player, this could be your best bet.

Community Works
Community Works has three components.
The Community Works curriculum is divided into six topical units, all broken down into highly interactive sessions:
- You and Your Community
- Violent Crimes
- Substance Abuse and Drug Dealing
- Property Crimes
- Hate Crimes
- Police and Community.
Each session is activity based and relevant to the lives of young people. Youth will develop skill in crime prevention, conflict management, and leadership. In Community Works, everyone is a teacher -- teens take an active role in their own education. Interactive teaching strategies build on the strengths of the young people, while they learn from each other's experiences and insights.
Community Resource People, the second Community Works component, are people in your community with whom teens don't normally interact in a classroom or community setting. Their knowledge, expertise, and personal experiences area a valuable resource that will help make the sessions come alive. In addition, teens form stronger bonds with their community and are exposed to positive role models through their interaction with community resource people.
Service-learning projects are the third Community Works program component. Once young people have gained the necessary knowledge and skills, Community Works challenges them to participate in a service-learning project. Through these projects, the teens apply what they have learned to address a community problem they have identified. They work together to assess their community's needs, set goals, plan and execute a project, and reflect on the process.

Basic Soul Unit Motional Response
Toronto's Stuart Li, having spent the past decade operating under the moniker Basic Soul Unit, has produced a slew of singles and EPs over the years for labels like Ostgut Ton, Mule Electronic, Crème Organization, and Versatile. At this point, Li is something of a veteran of these smaller formats, yet Motional Response marks his full-length debut. Attacking this extended format with adroitness, Li offers a cross-section of his potent deep-house-cum-techno sound, resulting in a release that's both hypnotic and visceral.
Motional Response is markedly accessible, never straying exceptionally far from familiar deep house or techno soundscapes. If anything, this digestibility could be the biggest mark against the album; while the whole thing goes down smooth, it's difficult to pick moments or tunes that stand out from the rest.
Perhaps the main exception to this amalgamated quality is "Breathe," the only track to feature vocals. It's a slow burner that sits trepidatiously on a tense chord structure; the female vocals nearly land it in soulful deep-house territory, but the close harmonies and uneasy timbre prevent it from being marginalized as something so squarely traditional.
This slight tweak on traditional modes is pervasive in Li's sound; "Sandpiper" begins with a 303 line that sounds sure to build into a stomping four-to-the-floor, but instead, a ghosted syncopation of kicks and delayed, off-grid hi-hats keeps the production even before it builds with an icy lead. "Across the Room" and "All Over Me" follow suit, taking subtle aural left turns while gradually rolling out disparate layers of percussion and clever synthwork without being jarring or cerebral.
Across Motional Response, Li showcases this exceptional ability to choose a palette that remains unobtrusive, but heady. "Intersection" progresses slowly from spare, buzzy bass kicks, adding a hyper-filtered rumble with glitchy artifacts over the top. A quavering pad fades into the mix, accented by a 303 jumping octaves with the ebb and flow of the arrangement. All of this happens without the listener really being aware—it's more emotive than emotional.
The grit of Chicago and Detroit has a clear influence on Li—bit-crushing, distortion, acid, and acoustic drum samples on tracks like "Back Seat Lover" and "This" speak to an aesthetic informed by both an organic sensibility and warehouse grunge. At the same time, an aura of late-'90s San Francisco deep house floats over the record, even if it's only present in ephemera. On "Mind Forest," a clock-like, resonant ticking offsets a straight-ahead house groove; James Stinson meets Charles Webster with a pointed subtlety.
While Motional Response does tend to coalesce, it's difficult to view that tendency wholly negatively. There's an almost gestalt quality at play; it's not the kind of album that's going to be coveted because of a couple of big tunes. Instead, it's an LP that will get played front to back, and with great regularity for those with a penchant for these sounds. Motional Response appeals to the listener on a somatic level with understatement, making it perennially fresh and engaging.

You have probably heard the saying, 'love is a universal language, understood by all.'
While I agree with this saying, I recently heard about the differences with dating culture around the world. I thought it would be interesting to explore the unusual differences.
When you think of dating, most of us think of a guy approaching a girl, and asking her out on a date. However, there are many different and unusual types of dating customs abroad.
Here are some of the more interesting dating customs:
Valentine's day in Japan is a little different. Girls are the ones that have to buy chocolate for the guy that they fancy. And guess what? They receive nothing in return!
A month later, however, the guys are supposed to return the favor if their feelings are mutual on a holiday called "White day". The twist is that the men are expected to spend double the amount the ladies do on Valentine's day. Not a bad deal, if you are a lady of course!
South Korea
In South Korea, dating doesn't start until college and since most children live with their parents until they are married, love hotels are common if couples need some privacy.
Something I found interesting, is that when Korean guys are courting girls they effectively become their 'servants'. They will hold her handbags, carry her shopping bags, and do anything to make his girl happy.
Things reverse when they get married, however. The lady takes on a traditional role and is expected to look after the home and family.
The Netherlands
While other countries have set rules and customs when it comes to dating, the Netherlands is one place where few rules exist!
It doesn't matter who makes the first move in Amsterdam, whether it is the guy or girl. Also, when it comes to the first date, all the conventional rules can be thrown out the window!
For this reason, some people might view Amsterdam as an attractive place to visit.
In Brazil, men can come across as forward and aggressive if you aren't accustomed to the culture. Kissing on the first date is common, and seen as a way of getting to know each other.
Dating progresses quickly in Brazil, with guys and girls becoming 'official' within days. This is because it is seen as unusual if you aren't in a relationship. Brazilian women are known for their beauty. There are even complete websites made on how to meet Brazilian women.
When it comes to dating, Italians are very traditional. Men are drawn to physical attractiveness, beauty, and homemakers. Women want men who can provide financial stability. Also, looks are high on the list of importance to both men and women.
If a woman expresses serious interest in a guy, it's not uncommon for her parents to do a thorough background check on the guy.
The mother-son relationship is strong with Italian guys, so the girl must win over his mother in order to be accepted.
Isn't it interesting to see the differences in dating cultures around the world? But like my opening line says, "love is a universal language" and despite the differences in dating culture, it can be understood by all.
