Aw, dammit! Why did I go heat up that burrito before clicking the BUY NOW button on Bugatti's website? Looks like I just missed out on buying the 450th and last Bugatti Veyron. This last Veyron, called the "La Finale" (that's Franco-Dutch for "the finishment") was sold, shockingly, to a Middle Eastern collector. » 2/23/15 5:40pm 2/23/15 5:40pm

With the Veyron coming up on its 10th birthday, another special-special edition won't do. So blueprints for the Bugatti's next hypercar are being drawn up, and that includes a hybrid system to boost the already insane 1,200-hp SuperSport to 1,500 hp. » 7/10/14 1:29pm 7/10/14 1:29pm
We took the 918 Spyder to a seedy little drag strip outside of Austin, Texas for a little thrashing. You know what we found out? The thing's quick. But is it quick enough to out blast a Bugatti Veyron? Check out the clip, then peep our numbers on both cars. Where's your money going? » 4/04/14 9:54am 4/04/14 9:54am
In 2009, a Bugatti Veyron was crashed into a Texas lagoon at the hands of Andy House, who at one point said that a low flying pelican had distracted him and sent him off course. What he didn't know was that the whole thing was caught on film, and the pelican is suspiciously absent. » 10/02/12 12:00pm 10/02/12 12:00pm
Just because your Bugatti Veyron has 1,001 horsepower and a top speed of over 200 miles an hour, doesn't mean you can outrun the long arm of the law. Or even a London bike cop for that matter. » 8/07/12 3:00pm 8/07/12 3:00pm

Woody Allen famously said that "Eighty-percent of success in life is showing up."

I'm a little mixed on certain color combinations of the Veyron, but the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse always looks good to me. The point of owning the world's fastest convertible eludes me, but watch this video a few times and tell me if for a brief moment it doesn't somehow make perfect sense. » 4/12/12 9:30am 4/12/12 9:30am
In an apparent ongoing effort to give each individual car its own model designation, Bugatti will release still another version of the Veyron — the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse — at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show next month. » 2/22/12 1:30pm 2/22/12 1:30pm

When you own a Bugatti Veyron, seven high-speed runs on public roads will take you up to 225 miles an hour. Yes, he gets pulled over and no, we don't know how much his ticket is going to cost him. » 2/07/12 12:30pm 2/07/12 12:30pm
This isn't a movie set. This isn't a drawing. This isn't heaven. No, it's actually the tunnel entrance to what may be the world's most secret supercar garage. OK, so maybe it is heaven. » 1/03/12 12:15pm 1/03/12 12:15pm
The appeal of the Bugatti Veyron is it's so fast and so well-engineered any obscenely wealthy person can hop into it and be faster than other, poorer, people. Not this guy. He appears to not understand how the vehicle's launch control works and sits there, lamely, as the guy in the GT-R blows him away. » 12/29/11 3:00pm 12/29/11 3:00pm
The Bugatti Veyron is a modern wonder. It is screamingly fast, it is magnificently well-controlled, it is ridiculously expensive. As the video amply shows, though, it is also all but incapable of handling speed bumps. » 12/27/11 2:00pm 12/27/11 2:00pm
This is the most expensive model car in the world, at least it will be when it sells this month at auction in New York. It's a 1/8th scale model of a Lamborghini Aventador built with gold, platinum, carbon fiber and diamonds by Robert Guelpen, a German car model specialist. » 12/04/11 2:00pm 12/04/11 2:00pm
A Texas court may soon decide if the man who drove his Bugatti Veyron into a lake was committing fraud after his insurance company claimed he crashed the car on purpose to collect $2.2 million in insurance money. Wait, it wasn't a low-flying pelican? You don't say. » 11/29/11 4:30pm 11/29/11 4:30pm

30 Day Challenge, WWE, NXT, Playstation Now, Impact Wrestling, College
By rand0mZer00 0 Comments
We have all (probably) tried one or many 30 day challenges. If you don't know what they are, it's trying something new or different for 30 days. It could be cooking something you have never eaten before every day, or working out consistently for 30 days, etc. I have been wanting to get into writing for a while now and I have done a little in the past. I wrote a couple of reviews, became news editor at a couple of websites, and had the occasional blog here and there but never consistently written anything for quite a while now.
Until today.
This month's blog entries will be just me giving my thoughts on different subjects. They are going to be all over the place I'm telling you now but I see it as a way of getting my feet wet again writing. I will be following the same style of blog as Good Ol' JR. Oh, and go buy some of his BBQ products. They are worth it.
For as much doom and gloom that we were getting about the WWE Network numbers, they weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. Sure, they could be a hell of a lot better, but man I was expecting worse numbers than what they actually got. I got the Network as soon at launch and aside from the first couple of days of playback error, it has run smoothly ever since and that includes live PPV. I don't have much to gripe about it other than WHY ISN'T WCW MONDAY NITRO ON THE NETWORK!
One of the problems the WWE Network seems to have is there isn't enough content for the casual viewer to convince them to pay $10/mo or $20/mo. For as much value as I see the WWE Network having, they don't. They will watch Raw and catch the occasional "Big" PPV and seem more than content with that. The $20/mo seems to be the plan that they will most likely look at and say "Hey! For $20 I can watch Summerslam/Survivor Series/Wrestlemania/Royal Rumble and not pay the $60+ normally! And I can cancel at any time! I'm in!" (This fake person is really excited btw)
With the roll out soon to International markets will certainty help, and I think in a couple of years it will be fine. Will WWE be patient enough to wait that long? Probably not. But they don't have a choice.
How great has NXT been consistently since...probably the last year or so. There will maybe be one or two episodes in a month where it just comes and goes, but more often than not each episode has good wrestling and it's awesome to see these guys grow up right in front of you (or in front of your TV, or monitor, or tablet, or phone). Last night's show was another good episode that is building toward's the next (NXT?) live special on September 11th with a fatal four way for the NXT title between Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, Tyson Kidd & current champion Adrian Neville. My brother and I were talking about NXT and the discussion soon led to who would be called up next to the main roster and I was dumbfounded when He replied that he feels Breeze will have a hard time on the main roster because his gimmick is done (to a very vague certain extent) by The Miz and Dolph Ziggler (who wouldn't want to be compared to Ziggler!) and he does have a point...somewhat. While I think he has a high hill to climb, he has the athletic & mic skills to hold his own and really shine under that gimmick. I mean, the man sings his own theme song! If you sing your own theme song, you're solid gold baby.
Charlotte is doing fantastic as champion, and I don't see anyone talking the belt from her for a long, long time.She's light years ahead of everyone on that roster (and the main roster as well). She's gonna be something when she gets the call up.
I don't like The Ascension. That's all I got.
Say what you will about Adam Rose, but he & Tyson Kidd had a great main event match on this show. Seriously. I never not liked Adam Rose, but when you give him 5+ minutes in a throwaway match, what do you expect? Trust me, if you don't think he has the skills to hold his own in the ring, watch this match. Tyson deserves alot of that credit as well, but Rose brings it.
PlayStation Now went into public beta yesterday and while the promise of streaming games is good and all...the prices are not. I'm more than positive that the prices will definitely change once PS+ is integrated into all of this, but I don't know anyone who is willing to pay for only 90 days of usage. If all of the games are available in a subscription plan with unlimited play, then PlayStation Now will succeed. Until then, this will be a nice idea but no one will buy rentals when they can just purchase the games at cheaper prices.
With the news of TNA potentially losing their TV deal with Spike, it seems like the end for the promotion is near. Which makes it even worse because last night's show was good. The Wolves vs. The Hardys was fantastic (that finish though...ouch), seeing Low-Ki in the ring will always make me a happy viewer, him winning was a plus as well.
What are they doing with James Storm? He was a pretty good wrestler but lately he seems to be the mentor o Sanada since he turned on The Great Muta. If Sanada decided that having James Storm as your mentor would be more beneficial to his career than The Great Muta, you ain't gonna make it kid. It's also stupid.
The Dixie Carter/Bully Ray stuff is what it is. I mean, I get it and it's all leading up to her getting power bombed through a table on next week's show (don't worry about me spoiling it because TNA did just that by showing snippets of it at the end of the show yesterday. I mean, why not at this point right? )
Samoa Joe back in the X-Division? Sure. Seeing Homicide back was cool as well, I always enjoyed his work. I hope this is the beginning of a resurgence for Joe. It's been too long since I've said "Samoa Joe is the best wrestler going right now".
The main event saw Bobby Lashley retaining the World Title over Austin Aries in a great main event. Lashley has come a long way from where he was in WWE to now. I'm not saying he's a great pro wrestler but he can certainly go. Aries did a fantastic job selling us that despite the size difference, he was going to win the world title. Superb work from both guys and definitely recommend you watch this match, and this show.
I'll end this blog entry with something a little bit personal. I will be attending college for the first time in my life next Monday. Unfortunately, it's not at Greendale (although if my Community college was like Greendale I would be more than happy to be the Troy to someone's Abed). It's been quite the journey for me academically, I've gone through grades where I've done fantastic (I once had a 4.0 in 7th grade) and some where I have not (HS Senior year in particular) but I've always put my best into School despite the struggles I may have had. It'll be the first time in 8 years that I have been inside a classroom and I'm excited & nervous for it. I don't know what to expect, but I do know that will give it my all and in the end, that's all anyone can ask of you.
Thanks for reading.
Until next time.
- Armando

Great shower door at a great price
When ordering, I definitely liked the price and most of the reviews. But one review (negative) has puzzled me a little. Anyway, I have decided to order and wasn't dissappointed. I love how the door looks - very European, comparing to the doors sold in local home improvement stores. It is much more sleek and clean-looking. I love that one side doesn't move. My son's shower door has 2 moving sides and they are annoying me. Responding to negative review - the door is REVERSIBLE!! You can have the opening on the right or on the left. In fact, initially when I purchased I wanted opening on the left side, but after putting it together, my contractor suggested to make it on the right side (for opening/closing water easier + towel bar was in the way when on the left side). It was a 20-minute switch! Even my contractor said that it's a great door (nice looking & quality) for the price paid! After Overstock coupon and Overstock "Club O" rewards program - the price was awesome. I am very happy that I decided to buy this shower door over internet and picked this door. In fact, I am debating if I should switch my son's 2-opening ugly looking door with this one. :)Read More
Great price for a upper eschalon door
Positive experience overall. Shipped and received within days. Looks great. For installation - if you need to cut to fit, a mitre saw would be most beneficial. We used hacksaw and it was fine but you need to people to keep from damaging or scratching. Definitely need strength and two people to install, the glass is VERY heavy; which makes for sturdy door and quality look but is very heavy. Most difficult part was doing the math and measurements and diagraming for making sure fixed door on side we wanted and cuts, etc.Read More
Dreamline Infinity Door
This door is beautiful! Only one side moves. It makes it much nicer than having both sides movable. The quality of the entire unit is spectacular and usually found on a much more expensive door.Read More
Bathroom Shower doors
Wanted to put this shower door on top of a tub kit and take it to the ceiling, Lowes employee looked up theirs and said it should not be put on top of tub, and they would be at least 750.00 up to 1200.00 My husband said no way to much already spent on the bath renovation with tileing the floor, so I said we are smarter that this theres got to be a way, one Friday night I said lets just put in the measurements of the glass, and voila !! Overstock came up with the exact size door on the first page and said 379.00 put in cart to see the sale price, 350.00, it came a week sooner, in only about 3 days we could not beleive it, packed very safely, especiall for glass nothing was broken, we read the directions couple times and put it in together, the wheels were a little loose and weird but you have to go back in and adjust them and tighten all the screws on them, we get so many compliments on the whole bath, and I tell my overstock story, thanks PamRead More
can you love a shower door? YES!
We purchased two sets of these shower doors. It was a leap of faith for us to purchase glass doors online, but we were absolutely delighted and satisfied with our installed doors. They arrived promptly and were securely packed in their own wood crate. They fit our requirementd for adjustable width (we just re-tiled our bath) and a stationary door. The price was reasonable and the free shiping was a major consideration. If you can love shower doors, these would be the doors.Read More

Best Easy Upgrades for Your Shower
If your trusty shower is starting to bore you, it may be time for a change. That can mean a complete shower remodel, or (if you don't want to spend the time or the money on that) you can easily upgrade your shower for relatively little with a number of different shower improvements. The best easy upgrades for your shower range in price, style and type, like shower curtains that upgrade the look of your shower and a number of different showerheads that can make your shower more luxurious than ever. Take a look at the following shower improvement tips for inspiration and ideas.
Tips on Using Cloth Shower Curtains
Shower curtains drastically change the look of a bathroom, and cloth shower curtains can take bath decor from mediocre to magnificent. Cloth shower curtains, also known as fabric shower curtains, have been around for ages, but they lost some of their popularity to vinyl shower curtains in the last few decades. Cloth shower curtains have reemerged as one of the most sought after bath products in recent years. While vinyl shower curtains are practical and low cost, a cloth shower curtain is a great choice if you're concerned with making your bathroom a place you love to be.
Popular Accessories for Showers
Since you spend a lot of time in your shower, you may as well make it as comfortable as possible. After all, there is no reason why your shower should have a drizzly shower head and a crowd of shampoo and shower gel bottles balanced precariously on the various shower ledges when you can find so many quality shower accessories online. If you're interested in upgrading your shower with a few different shower accessories, but you aren't sure where you should start, keep reading.

How to Pick the Right Dog Door Size
A dog door gives both the owner and his dog freedom. The dog can go in and out of the house at will, and the owner has flexibility in his schedule -- no more running home to let pets out. A dog door does not need to be the exact size of your dog for your pet to fit through it comfortably. Here are the top tips for buying a pet door for your home.
Tips on Updating Old Windows and Doors
Part of the beauty of your home is your doors and windows. Good windows will let light in while keeping heat or cold out. Doors provide attractive entryways while maintaining insulation and security. After a number of years, your doors and windows will need to be updated, repaired or replaced. Here are some things to consider while shopping for new doors and windows for your home.
How to Clean a Vinyl Shower Curtain
Vinyl shower curtains are inexpensive, and many people simply replace them when they get too dirty. However, if you love your shower curtain too much to part with it or you just want to reduce waste, you can clean your vinyl shower curtain clean. Dirt, soap scum, and mildew build-up are the biggest culprits of dirty shower curtains. Luckily, it is very easy to get it to look like new again. Here are a few different ways to do it.

I love pepper of all colors and I eat it fresh in salad, pickled and stuffed with rice and ground beef and cooked. I plant from 1 1/2 to 2 dozen plants. My plants are always healthy but I don't feel I am getting enough fruits. Today I was talking to a PHD student whose research center on plant biology. When I told him about my pepper story he told me the secret is in the way you fertilize your pepper. He told me make sure your fertilizer has a low N (nitrogen) I use 24-8-16, He said the 24 number should be the lowest. The higher the number you get a big tree with little fruit because the nitrogen encourages the plant to concentrate its energy on creating branches and little of its energy goes to the fruit. I know I can get a low N fertilizer from our farm store. He told me if you can not find a fertilizer with low N you will be better off using compost, humus and cow manure.
Does any body has experience in that regard.
I am getting ready to sow my pepper seeds in the seedling dome. Later I transplant them in small individual pots. When I take them to the garden beds in late April it should be 2 feet trees. I am itching please winter go away fast. LOL
He's right. Try to incorporate Phosphorus(P)prior to transplanting and possibly Potassium(K), but hold off on Nitrogen(N) until you get a good flower set on the plants. Peppers seem to perform better for me when water is even restricted. Under "Stress" the plants seem to put out more blossoms. Once you have fruit set a sidedress of N will help with yield, if you don't overdo it.
Another hindrance to boutiful fruiting on peppers is the initial fruit set. By picking off the few initial fruits the plants respond by sending out multiple replacement blossoms. Thinning those (as picked green peppers) will help with overall production quality and quantity.
Agree. As with most fruiting plants excess nitrogen is NOT beneficial and can be detrimental. High N levels is one of the common causes of blossom drop. Standard rule of thumb is that high nitrogen gets you big bushy plants with little to no fruit.
And a "2 foot tall tree" pepper plant would have already bloomed and set several fruit under normal condition. Sure not something I would want to be transplanting. Another example of why big is not always better.
Peppers will feed as much as you throw at them.
In my soils (clay, OM, good nutrient holding capability) I give a very early growth N-heavy application and I don't even bother to feed them any more N until there's a lul in the summer season production because it's too hot for heavy fruit production...and even then it's rarely a full application unless the rains have been heavy.
In areas where the summers are short and cold fall temperatures come on fast it may not even be necessary for a second hit of N. P/K are a lot more important than N once the plants start to bloom out. Unless deficient, most soils don't need much K help, though.

Like you are all saying peppers seem to like rich soil with out too much nitrogen. I also read a report that says they respond poorly to late applications of Nitrogen as well. We went three months without a drop of rain and I had a record crop of peppers.(These plants had a very large amount of cow manure) Peppers are almost more of a tree in the tropics and will grow for years, it is quite acceptable to plant large plants. They can be pruned back harshly at the end of the season, uprooted, and put in soil in buckets. Then water sparingly, put where it is cool and dim light. Bring them out in the spring, and they will be way ahead of the little seedlings. You can do this year after year with the same plants. Also you can bonsai them.

Only continued pressure from grassroots activists will force Washington to do the right thing.
The powerful right-wing lobby doesn't represent most American Jews, and it's no longer the only game in town.
The Obama administration's strategic rebalance is really just a retreat.

He's not the only Republican governor who has abused his office to destroy political enemies.

Expert advice and porta-potties
I just got back from the YMCA in Schertz. I gave a little talk about pre-race preparation for the San Antonio ½ Marathon. I've never run the San Antonio ½ Marathon. In fact, I've never run a half marathon. Still, I think the talk went relatively well. I told them about checking for safety pins in their race bag and corral starts and making sure to get their morning cup of coffee. They wanted to know about Porta-potties. I hedged. Surely there will be plenty? How many johns do you need for 30,000 runners? I'd love to see the porta-john equation. (Not really.)
Asa and Eliot came along for the 40 minute ride out there and played on a huge playground while I said wise things like "bandaids on your nipples can prevent chafing." (Every time I think about pursuing a PhD, I think about how I'm putting my other degrees to use these days.)
All that profound thinking has left me utterly exhausted. These few sentences have taken me about an hour to type, so I think I'd better call it a day before midnight suddenly rolls around.
Big news: I'm turning off the air conditioning tomorrow. It's September 15th for gosh sakes. It's unseemly to need air conditioning after Labor Day! No more high electricity bills! And it'll only be 96 degrees tomorrow anyway. Fall sweater weather.
Running: 50 minutes 70% effort
9 thoughts on "Expert advice and porta-potties"
Can you please let me know how you keep the house cool with the air off? The heat just broke in PHX (a brisk 96 degrees! LOL), but I think my family might hate me if I turned off the heat. Actually more specifically, my sleepless 6-year old might get up at 3am for the day more often (which makes for a really happy day at school!).
It'll be hot as heck in this house. Picture us sitting around sweating profusely while we build Legos tonight. But someone has to take a stand if we ever expect a change.
I will also be keeping the windows open at night to take advantage of the cool mid-70 temperatures — and keeping the fridge stocked with popsicles.
Turn off the air! I am lucky ours is off by late October. I grew up in Schertz. Samuel Clemens graduate.
Can we come over tonight? (Just if Asa's showing signs of heat exhaustion…)
I saw Samuel Clemens (school) last night!
I can relate to their porta-potty worries. Last year there had to be at least a 30-40 minute wait to get into one, assuming you heard the call of nature within the hour prior to race start. Of course, by that time there was no TP left. Thankfully, I had planned for this and brought a bunch and gave some to the nice woman I met in line behind me.
As long as they "use the facilities" prior to that rush hour I don't predict any issues, as they have 2 or 3 sections with dozens of units.
Another interesting thing was that the race organization has people to walk around and pick up discarded clothes. In turn, they donate these clothes to local shelters/homeless. I'll be snagging a cheap jacket and maybe pants to keep me warm the first few miles this time (and the two hours I'm standing around pre-race).
Ooh, I wish I'd known to mention the TP. I did talk about the throw away warm clothes.
Liza, I forgot about it being after Labor Day… do I have to put away my white shoes? And, I guess there aren't portapotty issues at ultras. If you ever need an expert, I have perfected the art of Finding A Place To Pee Since The Portapoty Line Is 3 Hours Long. I would be happy to give a talk on such, complete with Power Point.
The new rules say to wear white shoes whenever the white shoe wearing mood strikes. But silver shoes are better. And I'll need your expert advice about how to invest the scads of money I'll be saving on air conditioning bills.
I think the best thing to do with the scads of money is buy stock in popscicle companies.

When coaching Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho made a famous remark about Pep Guardiola. He said that in the past, there were two types of coaches: those who complained after a game about the ref, and those who shut up. He then said Pep was a new, third type of coach: he who complained about refs before the game had even started. Coming from a coach who once hung out in a parking lot after a game to speak with a ref, it was pretty disingenuous but humorous all the same.
Chelsea FC's recent blog post, though, makes Pep look like a ref cheerleader. Continue reading "Chelsea's Disingenuous Penaltology" »

Throughout our lives we are surrounded with items. The majority of them have little or no meaning for us, but now and again an item becomes special.
There are many reasons.
An item might bring back forgotten memories, it might have significant financial value, it might have been given to us by someone important, or it might make us feel good simply by owning it.
It's natural that we want to keep those items... but what happens when the habit of holding on to the them gets out of control?

Banks, and other financial services companies, may be allowed into UK schools to help teach personal finance, under proposals put forward by MPs, the Financial Times reported on 20th January 2013.
Here is a short extract:
Banks and bankers need to address their own educational needs before they are let anywhere near schoolchildren.
Their first lesson must be on what money is and where it comes from.
It's an excellent article, it's very much worth a read. Even the book Where does money come from? is mentioned and quoted.

That the private banks create money is not new information.
It is not unnatural to think of the deposits of a bank as
being created by the public through the deposit of cash representing
either savings or amounts which are not, for the time
being, required to meet expenditure. But the bulk of the
deposits arise out of the action of the banks themselves, for by
granting loans, allowing money to be drawn on an overdraft
or purchasing securities, a bank creates a credit in its books
which is the equivalent of a deposit. . . . The bank can carry
on the process of lending or purchasing investments until such time as
the credits created, or investments purchased, represent nine times the
amount of the original deposit.

HRW calls Jordan to stop torture in jails
Human Rights Watch said in a new report on Wednesday that torture continues to be "routine and widespread" in Jordanian jails, and claimed that some prison bosses have personally abused inmates. The New York-based watchdog called on the government to prosecute abusers and said nations which provide aid to Jordan should condition part of their assistance on the establishment of investigation and prosecution mechanisms.
"Jordan should end routine and widespread torture in its prisons," it said.
In its 95-page report, HRW acknowledged that authorities in the kingdom had tried to reform the prison system but insisted that the efforts were insufficient. "Torture in Jordan's prison system is widespread even two years after King Abdullah called for reforms to stop it once and for all," said HRW Middle East director Sarah Leah Whitson.
"The mechanisms for preventing torture by holding torturers accountable are simply not working." The report documents what it described as "credible allegations of ill-treatment, often amounting to torture," from 66 out of 110 prisoners interviewed in 2007 and 2008 in seven of 10 prisons visited.
Forms of torture used include "beatings with cables and sticks and the suspension by the wrists from metal grates for hours at a time, during which guards flog a defenceless prisoner," HRW said.

Bath Literature Festival: JK Rowling on the freedom of Potter to bed, a new book for children... and her first snog
Arifa Akbar
Arifa Akbar is literary editor of The Independent and i newspapers. She has worked at The Independent since 2001 as a news reporter and arts correspondent before joining the books desk in 2009. She was a judge for the Orwell Prize for books 2013, and the Fiction Uncovered Prize 2014.
Monday 11 March 2013
Harry Potter fans still clinging to the hope that JK Rowling may return to Hogwarts to write a prequel should take heed: it's not likely to happen.
Rowling, speaking at the Independent Bath Literature Festival last night, said she was not planning to return to the story of the "Marauders" – who attended her fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft before Harry Potter – because she didn't think much of prequels. "I'm never going to say never but I have no current plans. I think prequels are not generally very successful," she said.
For a bestselling novelist who is famous for guarding her privacy, Rowling was in remarkably open mood as she faced her ebullient audience of 1,600 fans. Walking out to the stage in beige trousers and a stripy top, she was greeted by uproarious cheering for the first few minutes of her appearance.
She talked about her first sexual experience (a "French kiss at a youth club disco" with a boy much older than her 12-year-old self), her writing habits ("I'm really good at writing in the front passenger seat with the three children and the dog in the back"), and the phenomenal reception of the Harry Potter series which she likened to "Beatlemania". Her own adolescence partly inspired the teenage characters in her first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy, she added, as well as her former job as a teacher.
James Runcie, the artistic director of the festival, asked her about the adult content of her latest book which encompasses gritty themes of heroin addiction, prostitution, drug dealing, online porn, self-harm and the rape of a teenage girl.
"I have never ever sat down and thought... 'now is the moment to write a book with a penis or with swearing in it'. This was a book I was burning to write… I draw on my own adolescence... and on my experience of adolescents as a teacher... I see adolescence as very fragile. When I watch my two young children, who are eight and 10, they will watch shows on Nickelodeon where teenagers are wholly false."
The Casual Vacancy is being adapted by the BBC for television.
Rowling referred to the children's book she was writing but refused to reveal much more other than that it might be for a younger age group than the Potter series: "It will be shorter. I'm very bad at estimating what sort of age group will like this... I think it might be for slightly younger children."
Rowling said she felt "utterly liberated" when she finished writing the last in the Potter series, although there was a sense of bereavement too. "From about 2000, I knew there would never be any topping Harry Potter. My publishers had got this train for the book launch which consisted of me leaving Kings Cross. I looked out at all the people screaming. It was like Beatlemania. I remember thinking 'you will never top this'. [Now], I can say 'oh, I will never top it' or I can see how lucky I am… I truly feel completely free."
Speaking of her life as a writer, she admitted to moments of self-loathing at the beginning of her career, when she would put away the Harry Potter stories for two months at a time. Now, juggling novel writing with three children and a husband, she said she craved the enforced solitude that the job requires. "One of my children said 'if it was us or the books?'. I said 'you, but I would be really grumpy'."

2006 Lexus GS 300 Base Review
Luxury, cache, reliability, sporty.
Needs more power, handling not on par with the competitive BMW 5-series.
Luxury Without Emptying The Wallet — I must say that this is the first Lexus I've ever purchased and the longest I've owned a Japanese luxury marque. That in itself would speak volumes if anyone knew how I go through cars. I've owned over 30 cars in my lifetime, mostly BMW's. BMW's have great handling characteristics and a solid build feel about them. Problem is, they consistently need attention. Those niggling little issues that arise when least expected. Radio failure, engine overheating, complete cooling system overhauls, they all add up to big bucks. That being said, the Lexus GS300 has been completely reliable and has only required oil changes, other than the stated maintenance interval items. When it does require maintenance, I feel that the local Lexus dealer in my area has excellent customer service and never recommends anything I don't need. Heck, before the drought, they'd wash it for FREE every week! Can't beat that! All of the switch gear feels good and looks right in this luxury car. The audio system, Mark Levinson, is phenomenal. The rear back up camera and parking sensors give me great confidence when parallel parking and backing out of parking lot spaces. The only issues that I have, are that the handling does not feel planted to the road, like a BMW, and that aftermarket parts are more expensive than a BMW. What? Why? BMW has a broader aftermarket for parts and therefore pricing is more competitive. With multiple manufactures making the same parts drives pricing down.

Sleek design for interior and exterior
Lack some "pick-up" power
This Car Is A Fantastic Sports Sedan Made By Lexus In A Long Time. — I put 18 inch GS430 optional wheels on the GS300 AWD to make a more sportier ride. Disregard issues with runflats that other people had with the standard 17 inch boring wheels, since you need to buy good sets of all season tires with the sporty 18 inch wheels for a great ride. The car is fast with the power mode on! If need more power, the updated GS350 is out with 306 Hp. The handing is excelent if not better than BMW 530 XI which is slow and heavy. The interior buttons ergonomics are far advance than most of its competitors since its easy and intuitive to use. The gas mileage in the city can be low around 20 but highway mileage is suberb around 27-29 mpg. Handling in the snow is phenomenal since VSC helps keep the car in control on every turns I made in the snow up to 10 inch of snow. I beleive this car is a great car and it may of had some issues but they were resolved by my dealer.

Love the handling. Car drive like a dream.
Road noise could be lower. However not bad for a sports car.
Love It. — All wheel drive. Handling. Turn ratio. Comfort. Looks. Lexus dealer does a great job to take care of any issues. I have driven this car for the past 6 years, and outside od the recalls, there have been very little issues with it. If you you want a car that is good for a family and you still have the feel of a sports car, this is a great choice.

Great performace for a big saloon!
Noisy suspension and whimsy electronics
A Good Car For The Money! — It is a really nice car, great accelaration, very good mpg, great looks, but the interior build quality has disappointed me, the interior squeaks/rattles all the time. Also i didn't like how the suspension works for a big luxury sedan, it is noisy, a thing which you don't expect from a class like. The electronics are a little bit strange, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't... But as an overall it is a great car, and if you drive it on good, long roads i recommend it!

Reliability, Style, Touch Screen Navigation, Radio
Cool Car - Wish It Was A V8!! — Very nice, luxurious ride. The electronics, lighting features are pretty cool. All wheel drive is assuring. The style of the car is very well done, but overall, the car isn't that quick and not that exciting to drive. After having BMW and Mercedes, the steering seems lifeless. Trunk seems extremely small for a car this size.

Loud Run Flat Tires That only Last 19k Miles.
Something Wicked This Way Comes Redux! — Favorite Features Are The AC Seats, & Mark Levinson DVD/Sound system! This Is The Stereo That I Wanted When I Was 16!! The Most Amazing Part Is That I get 26+ MPG City & 32+ HWY. Love The Navigation & Parking Assist. I Also Love the Smart Cruise, Voice Recognition & Back Up Camera.

great in snow, low cost to maintain, quiet
low on power, avg handling
Great Car — low roofline, hard for some to get in and out of. low on power, seats could use a little more padding. gas milage is ok. now if that is all i have to complain about life is good. Very quiet and nice to drive car. extremely reliable, confidence inspiring in all conditions and beautiful to look at. Controls are very easy to learn and the trunk space is awesome

Really liked the car's looks and handling. Gas mileage is great. Touch screen is convenient as are the controls on the steering wheel..
It is a good distance from our dealer to get service, but it has been worth it.
Really A Sweet Ride. — Really liked the car's looks and handling and the mileage. The gas mileage generally exceeds 30 mpg for a mix of city and highway. With soaring gas prices this is even more important. The handling is tight and feels secure.

We almost missed this jewel because the map here is wrong. Turn off of 395 due west onto Whitney Portal Road and head up the hill, into the Alabama Hills Recreational area. You will start to see the Alabama Hills, wondrous piles of rock, on either side. You will see a paved road off to your right in between the rocks called "Movie Flats". There's a big white stone there with a plaque containing information about the history of Alabama Hills. Turn right there and you can park anywhere 1.5 miles from where you first turned in throughout the park. It's all boondocking, no cell service and no Wi-Fi - but it is not to be missed and it's free. It is a magical, beautiful place, camping in among the rocks with the breathtaking view of the Sierra Nevada and Mt. Whitney. Big rigs or tent camping. Totally peaceful. Fantastic hiking or discovering by auto. The night/star photography was amazing. Would stay here forever if I could! - mollym1978
Note, this is dispersion camping and there is no charge. Located about 2 miles west of Lone Pine off Whitney Portal Road - on both sides of the road. One of the prettiest places we have ever camped at in our travel trailer. Scenes from over 400 movies have been shot here, so you most likely have seen it. I would camp here again. - SteveE

Helpful, friendly staff. We were offered menus for many local restaurants when we asked about a place to have dinner. The park is extremely clean and neat. When we extended the slides there was a branch that was slightly touching. They immediately pruned the tree when we asked. Our site had a picnic table and fire ring. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in the area. - SteveFerrill
This is the second time we have stayed at Boulder Creek Resort. This is a great place to stop, especially if you're going to Death Valley or touring the Alabama Hills. The staff are always friendly. The spaces are very adequate and the facilities are excellent. Would definitely stay again when coming through the area. - Andy/Patty
Park is right off 395 a couple of miles south of Lone Pine. Very nicely maintained park but you do have to be careful about the trees. They warn you at the desk and give you the best route to get to your spot, plus there is a sign saying they are not responsible if you scrape the trees. Our site had some limbs hanging over but the spot was wide enough I was able to move further over in the site with no issue. Roads are paved with sites being hard packed sand/dirt. There are boulders between each sites and a pine tree at each site. Sites were long enough for our 40 foot fifth wheel with room to park our truck. Good spacing between sites. Fantastic views of the mountains on both sides of the park. Did not notice any road noise from 395. Very fast Wi-Fi and it is is free. Using a satellite dish should not be an issue in most sites. Verizon cell phone worked great. Very nice park. - mcharland

This is a county operated park that is slowly getting better. All sites are dry and you take any site that is open. It's quiet here in February and the price is very reasonable for a waterfront site. This place is probably a zoo during the summer though! - SKP
We opted for Diaz Lake because of the federal shutdown in mid Oct 2013. Lone Pine NFS was out first choice. Mid week was fine, free style camping. Just find a spot and go for it. Weekend got busy and it got a little crowded but still OK. Could not imagine what it would have been like in summer. Probably not pleasant. Water spigots around the lake but nothing else. Sites were not level but we just picked a spot that worked out for us. No camphost or anybody else to complain to after hours but we were lucky and our neighbors were OK. Convenient to town and quiet. Lake is very small but some clown in a motorboat had to race back and forth Sunday morning for a couple hours. Chased the kayakers away. We would not have a problem staying here again but there are much better campgrounds in the area that would probably be our first choice. We camped in a trailer. - Greggo
The lake is located approximately 6 miles south of the town of Lone Pine on highway 395. Quiet flat spots with no hook-ups. Dry camping only. Very quiet and all sites overlook the lake. - John Hodgson

CAUTION! The Reservations.gov site lists some sites can accommodate a 40' RV. There is even a Pull-Thru that we reserved that was long enough but had a 2' decline in 40'. The issue with this campground is the road and the rocks they placed next to it. It is extremely tight and you will be lucky to get through without damage. Don't tow anything and don't get here at night. Forest Service CC, clean and great for tents or small RV <30'. Stream to fish and miles of mountain trails. Next to Mt. Whitney in the Sierras. - Boxcar48
This is a basic, Forest Service campground. Each site has a relatively flat, paved parking pad, a well kept picnic table, a bear box for food storage, a fire pit, and a BBQ. There is relatively little shade. (This wasn't a problem in early June, but it could be in July or August.) The sites were very spacious and well set up. Dogs are welcome, but be aware that there are rattlesnakes in the area. There are a number of bear proof garbage containers in the campground, and a recycling center for glass, plastic, and cans near the entrance. The best part of this campground is the excellent view of Mt. Whitney and the High Sierras. There is also a trail leading from the campground to Whitney Portal. We were absolutely enchanted by this little gem. We hope to be able to stay here again. - roadie gal

Didn`t notice many amenities. Lots of permanent live ins. Only a few sites available. We have a small rig so parking was not a problem. Easy to find off the hwy. A little over priced for what was offered. WI-FI worked well. Not recommended for more than 1 night. Staff was remote but friendly. - zzzya
This is a old residential park with only ten back-in spots. It needs work and a good cleaning. We stayed here for two nights and would not stay here again. - Badge

Nice, beautiful scenery of Mt. Whitney and Owens Valley. Verizon cell reception 3 plus bars (if you have data plan, internet here as well) at elevation of 5000 ft. Spacious campsites. Dry camping, relaxing sounds of nearby creek. We will stay again! - nmccaleb
This is an outstanding BLM campground with water and a dump ($5 fee), both of which were closed as of Nov. 5th. Being older, our Senior Pass reduced the campground fee to $2.50, no discount on dump. I almost felt guilty. The scenery is spectacular! The campground is at the base of the Sierras to the west (by base, I mean within spitting distance.) Owen Lake shimmers off to the east. Our Verizon MiFi receives a strong signal and even our TMo cell phone has service. Lots of tent and car campers this week, but the spaces are dispersed enough to avoid crowding. - LM&TinView
If you read what this campground is before coming up here, then you have to rate it a 10. No amenities, but they do have water at a central location and a dump station at the entrance. The views are spectacular, sites level enough and large enough for any MH. We have a 30' Class A but saw a number of 38' up here. No problem. We unhooked the Jeep before coming up the smooth dirt road but you don't need to. They even have 3-4 pull throughs. We were apprehensive, never been here before. But this is great and this place is able to accommodate MH's to about 38' or so. - sd1209

Consider these six factors when implementing web analytics in your organization.
In my previous column, I talked about how to increase our web analytics effectiveness. But in order to truly get the most value out of web analytics, it's important to have a holistic approach to implementation. Today I'd like to delve deeper into a framework for implementing web analytics.
Now web analytics is nothing new to digital marketers. In fact, most brands and agencies have been doing web analytics for years. If you're one of those marketers, then ask yourself honestly the following questions:
My guess is you answered no to more than one of these questions. That's because most companies treat web analytics as a reporting tool, while it's really an approach to accountable and data-driven digital marketing. A complete web analytics implementation should fundamentally change the way digital marketing is done in your organization.
According to the Web Analytics Maturity Model below by Stephane Hamel, a clear direction is needed in all the following areas for web analytics to be successful: Management/Governance, Objectives, Scope, Team and Expertise, Process and Methodology, and lastly Tools and Technology.
Before I talk about each area of the framework, let me first show you an example of how most companies approach web analytics. Consider the evaluation below:
