Pearl Harbor: Could It Have Been Prevented?
Franklin Roosevelt was right when he declared that December 7, 1941, was "a date which will live in infamy." Today, 64 years later, the attack on Pearl Harbor continues to make its importance felt. Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, young Americans understand as never before what it means to be struck without warning, with devastating consequences. Few, though, can really imagine the awful proportions of that moment in the Pacific.
At 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning, the Japanese fleet in the Pacific launched 183 bombers and fighters. A little over an hour later, 170 more planes followed them. By 9:45, less than two hours after the first attack order was given, the Japanese planes had accomplished their mission. The U.S. forces in Hawaii lay in ruins. Nearly 2,400 American servicemen were dead, as were dozens of civilians. Of 394 U.S. aircraft based at three airstrips, the attack had destroyed 188 and damaged 154. The planes ravaged the U.S. naval forces, too, capsizing the battleships Oklahoma and Utah, sinking the California and West Virginia, and setting ablaze the Arizona. Photographs of Pearl Harbor after the attack show sheer devastation.
The consequences of Japan's actions were immediate and immense. On December 8 President Roosevelt gave his now-famous message to Congress announcing that the country had been attacked "suddenly and deliberately" and asking for a declaration of war. His request was granted, and the United States embarked on a military project that would transform the face of the earth and bring an end to two evil empires, Germany's and Japan's. Roosevelt would not live to see the war's end, but his response to Pearl Harbor set the United States on a course that would liberate the Pacific, defeat the Nazis at Normandy, split the atom, and bring the American economy to a point of unprecedented strength and prosperity.
Yet as much as there is to be proud of in the American reaction to Japan's attack, there are lingering questions about the event itself that continue to occupy historians and their readers. In our own age of uncertainty and fear, when the notion of a surprise attack by air is much more than a distant memory, it is not surprising that Americans have again begun to ask a troubling question: Could the attack on Pearl Harbor have been prevented?
The question is not a new one. Not long after the attack, various investigations were begun to analyze the run-up to Pearl Harbor and discover if the government had missed opportunities to take protective action. Numerous failures to use intelligence properly were found, but nothing like a broad conspiracy was ever detected. More recently, certain historians have been less cautious in their assessments of the events directly preceding the attack.
Some have criticized President Roosevelt, alleging that he knew of the attacks in advance and allowed them to occur, or that he failed to conduct effective diplomacy through his secretary of state, Cordell Hull. Others, like Robert Stinnett, author of Day of Deceit: the Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor, have suggested an even more insidious history. Stinnett argues that a "systematic plan had been in place long before Pearl Harbor that would climax with the attack," and he tells his readers that Roosevelt made a "decision to provoke Japan into a bloody and terrible war that ultimately took millions of lives," in order to win public support for going to war against Germany. Still others believe that England intercepted key Japanese communications–but withheld them in order to gain America's help against Hitler.
These theses, while provocative, are fiercely contested by other historians. Henry C. Clausen, the man first appointed by Stimson to investigate the attack, fully articulated his well-informed opinion not long after the publication of Stinnett's controversial book. In his own 2001 book, Pearl Harbor: Final Judgement, Clausen agrees with Stinnett that the attack on Pearl Harbor could have been stopped. But he does not lay blame at the feet of President Roosevelt. Rather he highlights specific instances of failure by other of America's civil and military authorities.
In one agonizing moment, he describes a naval intelligence officer's failure to report the final section of a fourteen-part message from Japan to the Emperor's diplomats in Washington, D.C., ordering them to break off all diplomatic contact with the United States. That message was intercepted late at night on December 6, 1941. The final section arrived around midnight; the officer on duty didn't deliver it because he "did not want to disturb the usual recipients who were probably at home asleep." With the knowledge contained in that message, the United States could have ordered its military forces, including those at Pearl Harbor, to prepare for an imminent attack. Some of Clausen's harshest words are reserved for Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Gen. Walter C. Short, two leading officers at Pearl Harbor. In his view, they ignored ample evidence of immediate danger and failed to adequately communicate their own observations to Washington.
The debate over whether Pearl Harbor could have been prevented will surely rage on, as will similar debates over the terrorist attacks of 2001. Whether or not Roosevelt, Short, or Kimmel could have stopped Japan's assault, though, no one can contest the fact that they failed to do so. The devastation of that infamous day is real and lives on in the recorded memories of its survivors. In one such recollection, printed in the 2001 book Pearl Harbor Survivors, Norman Robarr, a naval serviceman aboard the USS Trever, gives voice to his memories of the Arizona. It was in the explosion of that battleship that more than half of Pearl Harbor's casualties perished.
"One night about a week before the attack I was aboard the battleship Arizona watching the ship's movie," Robarr says. He continues, "I'd like to quietly go aboard Arizona again. And there be alone with my thoughts… . Then I'd like to get on the plane and leave–never looking back."

- Have you considered that a 5 percent salary underpayment is enough to send your key talent to the competition, but not enough to motivate your marginal employees to leave?
- Did you realise that overpaying 25 employees by approximately 2 percent costs your organisation more than Rs 2 Mio and does little to motivate key employees to stay?
- Do you have a new role in your organisation and need to know quickly what pay and/or package to offer?
- Do you have a high turnover of staff in key roles, and do exit interviews indicate that salary is an issue?
- Do you require up-to-date salary and benefit information for the annual pay review process but have insufficient internal resource to "crunch the numbers"?
Salary benchmarking can help companies to overcome these issues. Crucially, this is a much more focused and detailed process than a traditional salary survey. Benchmarking gives a complete breakdown of the compensation package allowing companies to compare salary and benefits available within specific sectors and named companies. So, overall it is a much more exact science.
Paying people fairly is good for business. Underpay, and employees will eventually look for a better offer. Overpay, and the payroll budget and profitability will suffer. That's why companies use market data to research the value of their jobs. But what is "market data" anyway?
More than 80 percent of business managers and HR professionals said their companies either participate in or purchase at least one salary survey each year, according to a Salary.com poll.
Companies pay for compensation data because the benefits exceed the costs. The amount companies spend on surveys is just a fraction of a percent of their total payroll costs.
Why Salary Benchmarking …
In fact, compensation surveys have more to offer than meets the eye, and are more relevant than ever. Here are eight reasons why. With a compensation survey you can…
- Pay employees competitively. Take a look at most any company strategy and you'll see a heavy emphasis on staying ahead of competitors. Whether it's marketing, product design,– everyone's interested in edging out their competition. One key area of competition that often gets overlooked, however, is salaries. By participating in credible compensation and salary surveys, you're able to offer competitive salary packages that attract and retain top talent. On the flip side, a salary survey may help you identify areas in which you're overpaying relative to the market, allowing you to control costs in a way that's still fair to your employees.
- Adjust pay based on market conditions. In a constantly changing economic climate, keeping your company thriving requires staying in tune with the weather. Salary survey analysis identifies incumbents who are paid significantly less than the market, providing an opportunity to make adjustments over time to bring those salaries up to a competitive level.
- Establish salary ranges. Without compensation survey data, designing new salary ranges or adjusting pay structures amounts to shooting in the dark. Whether you're using salary structure trend data to move ranges accordingly or trying to analyze the market to make more accurate adjustments in the future, salary surveys are your best friend.
- Estimate labor costs of competitors. Short of calling up competitors and asking about their salary structure (good luck with that one!), surveys can help you understand pay trends in your industry and geographic region, giving you a grasp on how much of your competitors' funds go where
- Provide data for pay-related HR projects. Salary surveys are an unbeatable data source when it comes to HR-related projects, particularly in the realm of bonuses. When designing a bonus plan, surveys allow you to analyze each job to determine the actual bonus paid, the target bonus percent, the actual total cash delivered and the target total cash. Bridging GAPS surveys also report on a host of other pay-related programs such as hiring, retention and referral bonuses, stock options, on-call compensation and student pay programs.
- Get what you pay for. There's a reason why I trust my doctor's diagnosis over Goggle Answers; it's the same reason why most companies find their survey data worth paying for. Sure, free information exists, and plenty of it. But when making decisions that put your company at stake, you need data you can count on.
- Be a "good citizen" in the HR community. No matter how competitive your industry is, we all do better when we collaborate. By sharing your own company data, you encourage other companies to do the same, thus helping to paint the most accurate picture of the market for everyone. We've been lucky enough to have a chart-topping level of repeat participation and our survey participants have seen the benefits. This type of stability creates consistent data that can be compared year-over-year for even more accurate annual market analysis.
…why Bridging GAPS
Bridging GAPS Salary Benchmarking provides an independent snapshot of the market base salary, total cash, short- and long-term incentives, as well as typical benefit prevalence for individual positions.
As a result, Bridging GAPS Salary Benchmarking provides you with a quick, reliable and cost effective means of surveying the marketplace, enabling you to:
- Develop salary bands and/or remuneration policies
- Improve employee retention
- Guide remuneration for new recruits
- Compare total cash and total remuneration packages with competitors
- Calculate next year's salary increase budgets
- Target remuneration fairly and equitably
India Specifics
Compensation or Remuneration practices in India are not uniform. Because compensation or remuneration elements are different in nature and practice or in other words basic philosophy of remuneration differ from organization to organization and employer to employers.
If you take benchmark jobs for salary survey the job description also varies from company to company which will end up in job title match instead of job matching.
Further, for good survey point you have to select criteria of employers/companies and specific region to ascertain cost of living elements and market pricing of the benchmarked jobs.
What is available to you?
A single page statistical report per role, showing typical market pay and benefits information according to your date information on pay and benefits
prevalence to guide your specifications.
You will also receive an Executive Summary, highlighting any trends to have come out of your data, when requesting a minimum of 20 Salary Benchmarkings at any one time.
A complimentary report is also offered, regardless of the number of Salary Benchmarkings requested, expressing your organisation's salaries as a percentage of the market upper quartile, median or lower quartile. There is no charge for this, however, relevant organisation information will be required to conduct the analysis.

Me? A Critic?
An editorial
by Chris Hibbard
Music Lover
(Originally published on http://www.labeat.ca)
Me? A Critic?
A stranger asked me the other day, as a trivial conversation starter, "So what kind of music do you like?"
I suppressed a smile and replied, "A better question would actually be what kind of music don't I like. That would result in a much shorter list." For the truth is, I am a music lover – but even I have my limits. Certain types of music to me are boring, uninspired, offensive or just downright stupid.
For example, I don't care much for the newest form of night/dance club music; including the house and crunk genres. I love electronic music; and can lose myself in its many forms. But with the added imposition of cheesy female vocals about love; gangsta rap lyrics about GATs and 9's and repetitive megaphone style shouts for better bigger booty shakin', just manage to ruin it for me. Silly songs about hamsters and thongs seem to drain my IQ points, and it seems like that vocoder/voice modulator device is everywhere. (I blame both Cher and Kanye West equally for this.) Most of the lyrics are disguised beneath this vocal distortion, all modulated to come across pitch-perfect, robotic and emotionless. As for the electronic music that I do like; that I dance around the house and bang out to; well, they just don't play that at bars here. Which is really a shame; for there are a ton of great electronic music artists out there right now. Artists like Caribou, Justice, MSTRKFRT – and a thousand others that pack dance floors around the world. Everywhere but here, of course.
I don't care much for a lot of modern-day country music, for is seems too much like standard pop or rock music now, with just a sprinkle of fiddle added or a trace of a southern drawl. I like my country music to be real, earthy and experienced. World weary and wise with tales of great adversity and struggle; all told from a personal perspective years after the fact.
Give me Cash and Nelson, Hank Williams and Johnny Horton – guys who rode trains across country and slept on the ground if a friend didn't have a spare mattress.
Give me Cline and Lynn, Kitty Wells and even modern ladies like Neko Case and Emmylou Harris; righteous women that have loved and lost and loved and may never love again.
Give me straight up country music about times and people and places I'll never know; add some horses and trucks and starry nights and I then I like the country. There are some great country musicians keeping that old style alive today; Corby Lund, Fred Eaglesmith, Dierks Bentley and Ridley Bent; just to name a few. Check 'em out – you won't regret it.
I don't care much for the genres known as screamo, emo or metalcore; for I think they just all start to sound identical after two or three songs. Music that I imagine is made by sad bastards who just got dumped, probably because they still live in their parent's basement.
I don't care much for crazy death metal vocals or for high-pitched metal screaming a la King Diamond and Iron Maiden.
I don't care much for the strange experimental drone stuff that is like a massage for my brain, or for the avant-garde jazz musicians that can't seem to play the same chord twice. While I can appreciate it as some form of musical art, it doesn't mean I like it.
I don't care much for certain bleached-blonde female musicians with skinny ties and skinnier legs, whose idea of music involves ripping off other songwriters and laying down immature bedroom lyrics over top of 'borrowed' samples.
Lastly, I don't care much for music made by for smooth jazz artists like Kenny G and Yanni, music to "Hold Please" or get stuck in an elevator ride to Hell.
So having said all of this, if the question was, "What kind of music do I like?", then the answer is simple:
I like everything else.

There's one main force behind Paul's progress. And that is his own determination to succeed.
Paul's story of progress
Inspired by a homemade rice pudding, Paul Polly risked everything to launch chilled-dessert business Wicked Sister. Ignoring doubters, he never lost faith in his vision.
At age 28, Paul Polly realised true entrepreneurial progress started with taking a leap – torn between working in the family business and wanting to make his own mark. He decided to step out and go his own way.
"At the time everybody told me it was crazy – but I started my business because of a homemade rice pudding I bought at a takeaway shop," Polly says. "It tasted incredible and reminded me of the desserts my grandmother used to make."
"I had a vision of creating sweet treats that would evoke childhood memories. I considered making ice cream or yoghurt, but they were crowded markets." Polly explains that he saw more avenues to grow in the chilled rather than frozen isle. "Apart from some basic chocolate mousse and creme caramel products, there wasn't much happening in the chilled premium dessert space."
Perfecting the recipe for success
Polly used his life savings to buy a 40-litre pot and gas burner and rent a small manufacturing plant in Western Sydney. He spent a year perfecting the recipe for his first offering, a rice pudding. Then, when almost out of money, Polly secured a meeting with a national supermarket chain. After tasting Polly's pudding, the supermarket executive agreed to trial it in 150 Queensland stores.
Wicked Sister was up and running. But with this progress came two problems – Polly didn't have the capacity to supply 150 stores, and he didn't have the money to promote his product. Failure to either deliver sufficient product or meet the supermarket chain's hurdle rate (the minimum amount of revenue they expected in return for providing shelf space) meant almost certain failure.
"At this point, I was doing everything myself, with a bit of help from my mum," Polly explains.
For three months, Polly worked up to 20 hours a day, seven days a week to make enough product to meet his obligations. With no marketing budget, he had to hope that adventurous shoppers would try his creation then spread the word if they were impressed. Thankfully, they were.
Progress means taking on debt to grow
While Polly concedes that having demand for your product outstrip supply is a good problem to have, he points out it's a problem nonetheless.
"We went from supplying a supermarket in one state to supplying that supermarket all over Australia," he says. "Not long after that we had a distribution deal with another national supermarket. Then other customers came on board. Thanks to NAB, I had the money to put on some staff and invest in more equipment. But we soon outgrew the premises; there were capacity constraints, even with staff working night and day."
If Wicked Sister was to progress from a small business to a big one, Polly needed to buy a larger facility and kit it out with state-of-the-art equipment. He didn't hesitate. "I've always had an appetite for risk and been willing to back my gut instinct," he says.
A decade after it launched, Wicked Sister has progressed to a point where it now makes tens of millions of desserts each year. From custards to creme brulee, rice puddings and more, it supplies supermarkets, airlines, aged-care facilities and other customers throughout Australia and New Zealand. For the company's next phase, Polly is considering expanding his facilities to accelerate business growth.
"I always believed in my vision," he says. "That doesn't mean I always believed I could create a viable business based on that vision – there were plenty of times when there didn't seem any light at the end of the tunnel. But I had no Plan B, which meant I had to make Plan A work. Luckily, I had a bank that understood my vision, understood my business and was willing to partner with me."
NAB: a vital ingredient
NAB likes to play a role in terms of helping small business make their ideas a reality, by providing them with loans and other forms of finance, says Patrick Xu, Senior Business Banking Manager, NAB.
"Paul approached NAB just after he landed his first distribution deal with a major supermarket retailer," Xu says.
The relationship truly became a partnership when NAB financed a new manufacturing facility. NAB provided the business loan to buy the building and also the equipment finance to buy new machinery: the new facility has enabled Wicked Sister to produce tens of millions of products per year and has increased production output by a factor of six.
Polly wants to become the dominant premium dessert player in Australia and ultimately in other countries. NAB continues to supply capital to expand his business, but now does much more. Polly receives support on everything from the best way to deal with foreign-exchange issues when buying from foreign suppliers, to his long-term business plans and strategic planning. This support, combined with Polly's vision, means there's every reason to believe Wicked Sister might one day be another iconic Aussie brand.

Science Equipment: Moorings
Today was windy with snow. It reminds me a lot like where I'm from in Northern New York. As the winds are projected at between 40- 60 knots the outside decks are off limits as I write this. We are Hoping for a break soon as a lot of science is waiting. My shift partners and I were busy processing sediments from a Kasten core. It was a meticulous process that required accuracy and excellent cataloguing abilities. This will be explained in detail in a few days as I'm waiting for the pictures. So I thought I would show another piece of scientific equipment on board and briefly explain its use. Moorings are rather complicated devices that are used to gather a wide variety of physical oceanographic data. The gyroscope serves to counteract the gravitational forces that are strengthened as we are near the Magnetic South Pole. Do you remember the journal about the effects on compasses the South Pole has? The gyroscope is a very expensive piece of equipment that must be retrieved once the mooring is in place. This will be done by the marine techs on board using a special device.
Depending on the deployment waypoint for the mooring the scientists will attach a variety of sensors to gather vital data about this uncharted region. These include temperature, currents, etc.. Another part that is attached is the collection cone. It is used to trap any materials that may drop to the bottom while the mooring is deployed.
In order to assure that the line attaching the mooring and all the data collecting devices remain vertical a large buoy is attached at the surface. The bouy has a transmitter and a bright beacon. The transmitter and beacon will guide us back in a few weeks in order to pick up the device.
I want thank Ross Hein for giving me the inside information about the gyroscope and the mooring. It is a really impressive piece of engineering, math, science and technology. This is just another reason how important math and science are. So if you are sitting in class, sit up and pay attention! Sorry that was the teacher in me coming out. Looks like the weather will improve tomorrow. More cool stuff soon!

Its light weight, fits perfect in hand, simple task for camping, came, UN-sharpen, Not bad for $8.99. Its not a Bowie brand name, Its,
a Mountain Man Classic knife,
For a bowie style knife, it's light weight, well built, and needs a bit of honing. I purchased the Mountain Man classic to add to my collection, and it was well worth the cost. The brass pommel and guard are extremely brilliant, and adds a touch of class to the knife. Thank you BUDK for this opportunity to purchase this fine blade.
I purchased the Mountain Man on a whim. It looked good and the price was right. Here's what I received: a beautiful knife that is solid, made well, fits good in the hand and is somewhat sharp. It does need sharpening but for $7.99 is excellent. I bought it for my collection along with the Mountain Man boot knife. They compliment each other. LJP
The mountain man hunting knife is asthetically pleasing to the eye. Bowie style blade, wood handle with finger grip, brass guard and butt. The blade itself is really basic but useful. It seems like it'll hold an edge. Not sure as to what kind of metal was used as there is just a stamp that reads "Pakistan". I would recommend this knife not as primary knife but more as a back up or something to toss in the tool box. If you're a collector, this knife displays really nice.
I received my knife today, and I would just like to say that I'm very pleased with this knife, I was looking for something that would be comfortable to wear a lot, and I think this fits the bill. The knife seems very solid and well built. I took a bit of time and ran it through my sharpener and was able to get a nice edge on it. I feel that I got a good knife for a budget price, very satisfied.
I read some of the reviews for this piece and was kind of put off by them but bought one anyway. Best decision I've made in awhile. The knife's handle and finish is flawless and the blade came razor sharp. I've gotten compliments for it all the time. The only downside is the sheath. If you plan on carrying this knife regularly (Like I do) You may want to consider getting a more durable sheath/holster as the one it comes with is for display purposes only. Other than that, Its a good buy and I recommend it to anybody.
Came completely dull, with only the tip being sharpened. The blade felt like sandpaper running my finger against it. Great if you want a display piece, but good luck sharpening this one.
You definitely get what you pay for. the wooden handle is nowhere near as "handsome" as you see in the pictures. The tip was so dull a toddler could play with this knife. No problem, just grind it down and sharpen. the sheath is of terrible quality and doesnt secure the knife properly. But what do you expect for $6.99? Overall i'd say it's worth what you pay for.
Very nice knife with decent quality steel in the blade. Small and comfortable to wear. Just what I wanted!! For the price, I don't feel as though you can beat it.
This is very nice little hip knife, small comfortable, nice blade.
Bought this knife spur of the moment; just threw it in the order. Have to say I'm happy with the knife I got for the price I paid. It is a full tang, just probably not what you expect. Hey, for only $7 you guys get no complaints from me. I knew what to expect and received just that. Thanks BudK!
I love this knife. Its a nice size and easy to carry. The belt sheath is easy to put on and easy to take the knife out of. It comes pretty sharp and sturdy. It is a great deal for the price.
Great little camping knife, bought two cant beat the price. Very sturdy and easy to handle. Shipping was fast and always on time. Recommend this knife to anyone who is looking for a great all around knife
Ordered the knife, buy one get one free. Great price, very nice knife for hunting and skinning. It's nice to be able to get this type of knife for the money. BudK, my favorite online store.
Decent knife,at a great price.I recieved the 2 for 1 deal,for $6.99!I gave one away as a gift.It was well recieved.I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for a decent knife.
I have bought several of these knive's and think they are great. I also have given them as gifts to my family who are hunters and they also like theirs. One fantastic company to deal with!
Completely useless knife. Even for such a cheap price, it was garbage. Completely dull, and the blade bent dramatically on the first day of use, due to the weak connection of the knife to the handle. For anyone who will actually use this knife, make the investment in a full tang knife. This knife is the reason I now only buy full tang.
The brass came tarnished and the wood handle has a few nicks but it feels good in the hand with heft and balance. The blade was sharp but the edge has a lot of burrs and I think it just needs a sharpening with some attention and TLC. Of the 12 knives I bought from BUDK this was the least expensive and the poorest. But for 6.99 it is a good sturdy knife. I have had worse knives that cost more.
This knife is a price of garbage.its came more dull than a butter knife and was impossible to sharpen because there was barely a find in the first place.not to mention the sheath was crap to.dont get this it's just a disapointment
I collect knives and give knives to friends. I own several of the "Mountain Man Classic," and have given as many away. The knife is not only good and dependable, the price makes it impossible to ignore. The blade is securely seated in the handle and it takes an incredible edge.....and holds that edge! If for no other reason than curiosity, everyone should make a purchase.

A limousine rental is one of the choices of vehicles on your important day, for example, a wedding day. However, the limousine is not only used for wedding days, but this long car is also used as transportation for state guests or other parties. Not surprisingly, more and more car rental companies are opening limousine rental services.
With fairly expensive rental rates, of course, you have to be very careful when choosing a rental company that rents out. In addition, there are some other important things that must also be taken into consideration before deciding to choose the limo company.

CAFE - Corporate Average Fuel Economy - is a big thing. It's a big thing because we as decent human beings like to pretend to care about the environment because we like the idea of breathing in clean air and having enough portable energy to last the duration of the species if nothing else. In the grand scheme of things CAFE standards is but one component of environmental stewardship, but it's nonetheless a tool aimed at helping to amass a bigger picture towards that environmental stewardship. It also has a few people up in arms regarding how it will affect the total utility of their vehicles, whether performance vehicles meant to conquer track times or off-roaders meant to conquer Moab. Concerns over the raw performance aspects have been pretty quiet with supercars from McLaren, Ferrari and Porsche employing trick hybrid setups that themselves push technological boundaries and provide promise of "trickle-down" effects that will one day permeate to the Versas and Fiesta of tomorrow. With off-roaders, the concern is more palpable with fears of the government essentially banning and taking away our precious body-on-frame lifted rock crawlers. AggregateDemand crunched the numbers and it doesn't look good, particularly for the perennial Yukon-stomper Jeep Wrangler and for every other "lesser" off-roader out there.
I'm here to explain why you shouldn't be concerned at all.
What's Going On In the First Place?
Again, AggregateDemand explains why the off-roader faces extinction under the new CAFE standards. In extract: it's a combination of vehicle footprint and the more traditional factors of vehicle efficiency, primarily raw vehicle weight. The ability of a vehicle to be classified into a certain footprint class combined with the dead weight of body-on-frame construction and other factors conspires against your beloved off-roader.
So if The Off-Roader is Dying, What Are We To Do?
Nothing. Because the off-roader isn't dying.
The first thing that needs to be understood is that CAFE doesn't effect one vehicle per se - it effects a manufacturer's entire lineup. You don't hear anything about the Focus RS or Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG being threatened out of existence because of CAFE, because those represent a relatively miniscule population of Ford's and Mercedes-Benz's total manufacturing and consumer output. And it's that total output, not individual car models, CAFE looks at. Individual car models, whether they be the Focus SE or the RS or the entire Focus lineup, are more or less invisible against the larger backdrop that is the fuel economy of everything coming out of Dearborn, Detroit proper, Germany, Mexico, etc. that is sold in the U.S. Hence the title Corporate Average Fuel Economy, not Model Averager Fuel Economy or something to that effect.
This means extreme volume-sellers, like say the Focus or Fusion SE or F-150 Platinum, more or less protect the niche performance models like the RS or the Shelby Mustang GT350 or the Raptor, provided those volume-sellers are fuel efficient enough to bring up the total CAFE standard in spite of the niche gas guzzlers. This is more or less by design, a way for manufacturers and government regulators to have their cake and eat it too - it basically exempts niche models by hiding them in the larger model lineup picture, but not totally to the extent where a manufacturer can pump out track-ready V8s with a city MPG rating of 11 in order to abuse loopholes, much like what a lot of people feel happened in the 90s with SUVs. In other words, manufacturers are still incensed to develop fuel-efficient and eco-friendly performance and niche vehicles, but not to the extent where they either have to bear bountiful fruit on those efforts to the extent that it strains technological and economic resources or be forced into extinction.
Unfortunately, it's far from a perfect solution. A number of factors can still bring down a niche model despite the in-built protection from CAFE regulations. For example, a niche model can be such a gas guzzler it puts a heavy drag on the rest of the lineup to meet CAFE even as a relatively low-volume seller. Or maybe it's not such a low-volume seller after all, but not to the extent where it's worth the engineering effort to design it to be more eco-compliant.
Then again, CAFE isn't the only automotive design conspirator. Crash regulations are likely a more significant factor in the extinction of a car model - as much as we like to imagine a body-on-frame vehicle being indestructible, unibody vehicles traditionally perform better than older models that still rely on body-on-frame construction. Then there's concerns over labor, the geographic location of where the vehicle is manufactured (which usually is another labor issue), costs and tariffs related to the former two, etc. The Ford Ranger was a very fuel efficient light pickup truck in I4 form, so keeping it would've only improved Ford's overall CAFE standing and helped hedge against heavier and thirsiter V6 F-150s, but the truck's aging design against updated crash protection mandates and the infamous "chicken tax" doomed the truck in North America.
Toyota Isn't Going Anywhere
So yes, the off-roader is going to get squeezed, but not out of existence or beyond the affordable reach of the average consumer. For one, I'm willing to bet the various permutations of the Toyota Land Cruiser/Prado - namely the 4Runner and especially the Land Cruiser proper along with their Lexus rebadge-jobs - are here to stay. Those vehicles are for the most part already imported (even the 4Runner - which, fun fact, is built in the same prefecture where Imperial Japanese dive-bombers used to attack Pearl Harbor were assembled - chances are along with your flat-screen, PS4 and Gixxer) while for the most part avoiding the crippling taxes that affect their European open-bed brethren. Yes, the Land Cruiser is expensive because of taxation, but only by 2.5% - about by the difference of including an automatic transmission and moonroof if that tax is applied to a moderately-priced compact sedan. As the 4Runner is also imported, it's already affected by these same taxes, and has been since Marty McFly made black lifted Hiluxes cool.
This lack of domestic production plants serving non-global markets means a vastly decreased likelihood of said plants being idled and eventually eliminated due to shifting demands from, for example, CAFE influence (similar to what killed the Ford Ranger). Or, in other words, a healthy global demand for a model lineup sourced from consolidated factories will better ensure those factories keep humming. In the meantime, since those cars are already being made and are already crash-compliant anyway, why not import them our way to satisfy a relatively tiny demand, but in a means that still makes it profitable? This is what Hyundai is doing with the Equus and the Kia K900 stablemate despite both (the Kia especially) being money losers. This is what Toyota themselves are already doing, with the Land Cruiser and LX. The global demand of the Toyota SUVs protect them from CAFE and North American niche status by making up for profitable volume sales elsewhere. This same global demand incentivizes Toyota to make their SUVs up-to-date in crash protection and environmental stewardship as the rest of the world starts catching on to American consumer protection - but the inbuilt CAFE protection doesn't force them to do so in an unreasonable manner, as long as demand remains in niche-territory and more efficient offerings from the Camry and Prius make up for it.
Yes, Unibodies Go Off-Road Too
So the extistant market forces provide reasonable protection for the Toyota body-on-frames, even if prices may experience an uptick (which shouldn't be much and certainly will not effect the used market for much older Toyotas that still remain popular as rock crawlers). What about the volume-selling Jeep Wrangler? AggregateDemand notes that the sales of the Wrangler make it particularly vulnerable to CAFE regulation, basically putting it in the same classification of unibody CUVs. On that note, FCA might eventually be forced to replace the Wrangler with a CUV, which means bye-bye offroading.
Or does it?
The whole reason why the Wrangler is body-on-frame is because body-on-frame vehicles can go offroad. Everyone knows unibodies can't go off-road, right? A unibody Wrangler replacement would be a disaster!
After all, it's physically impossible to put a lift kit on a unibody!

Unibody cars can't go on trails! You need a frame in order for a car to be tough enough to go on a trail!

Perhaps it might come as a shock, but Wrangler aside most Jeeps - including the iconic Grand Cherokee and yes even the XJ Cherokee - are unibodies, and always have been since the last Cherokee/Grand Wagoneer SJ bowed out. Unibody construction is superior to body-on-frame in a variety of ways and even in the offroad world a body-on-frame potentially represtents nothing but dead weight to be punished by CAFE. Unibody SUVs can be as tough offroad as body-on-frame SUVs and can be lifted - and the XJ Cherokee and every single Grand Cherokee have been proving that for over thirty years and counting!
But, I know, the Wrangler has many quirks that can't be replicated on a unibody. Quirks like having a removable top.

Ok, so maybe it's not exactly the same, but it shows that Jeep cares about your concerns for "true Jeep authenticity." The only real things missing are the removable doors, which is just an engineering trick away provided Jeep can figure out how to get side impact crash protection to work on such doors, and the folding windshield, a feature literally nobody uses anyway.
Keep in mind this is the same guy who tested the spring-loaded grille on the Grand National and he took a complete pass on folding the JK's windshield. He didn't even know JKs can still do that. I think it's a feature even hardcore Jeep enthusiasts can live without, especially as their off-road jacks mounted on their hoods make it difficult anyway.
So, no, the off-roader isn't rock crawling into extinction or stratospheric unaffordability, even if it has to go unibody (which it already has in many cases, well before all the CAFE Armageddon worries). If you still want body-on-frame that badly, Toyota has you covered for the forseeable future.

Music Icon Announces Fifteen Australian Shows In 2019 & 2020 Including Three A Day On The Green Events
Roundhouse Entertainment, in conjunction with Chugg Entertainment, is thrilled to announce SIR ELTON JOHN will perform three very special a day on the green outdoor concerts as part of the epic 15-date Australian leg of his global Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
Recently crowned by Billboard as the most successful performing male solo artist of all time, Elton John will traverse Australia and New Zealand between December 2019 and February 2020, in what will be the legendary music icon's most extensive tour of the region to date.
Elton John will deliver his famed songbook to spellbound audiences, on his very last tour, playing across a mammoth run that includes capital city concerts, along with stops at some of Australia's finest outdoor venues including three a day on the green shows – Sirromet Wines, Mount Cotton, QLD on Saturday January 18, All Saints Estate, Rutherglen, VIC on Wednesday January 29, and Rochford Wines, Yarra Valley, VIC on Friday January 31.
"Elton's continuing love affair with Australia knows no bounds, proven by this farewell tour, and the breadth and depth of the itinerary, showing his commitment to his many Australian fans," said promoter Michael Chugg. "On his very last tour, he wanted to return to some of his favourite cities, while also playing for fans in a couple of never-before-visited locations."
Elton's Australian tour will kick off with record-breaking back-to-back appearances at Perth's HBF Park (formerly nib Stadium) on Saturday November 30 and Sunday December 1 2019, a huge 48 years on from his first ever Australian show, which took place at Perth's Subiaco Oval on 17th October, 1971.
Sir Elton John said, "I always love coming back to Australia. Ever since my first visit in 1971 it has held a very special place in my heart."
Beginning in Pennsylvania, USA in September 2018, Elton John's three-year Farewell Yellow Brick Road global tour has already been hailed as one of his most "energetic, dazzlingly original and joyful celebrations". Elton's legendary catalogue, including beloved songs 'Bennie and the Jets', 'Rocket Man', 'Tiny Dancer', 'Crocodile Rock', 'Philadelphia Freedom' and more, are showcased in a musical masterpiece that is a "reflective and stunning tribute to a great artist's career" (NME), also celebrating his 50-plus year collaboration with lyricist Bernie Taupin – one of the great song-writing partnerships of all time.
The milestone itinerary comprises more than 300 shows across five continents, spanning three years, with stops in Europe, North America, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand, and marks the last tour of its kind by the celebrated songwriter and iconic showman.
"Playing live to other human beings is the greatest gift any artist could ever have," said Sir Elton John at his Chicago show.
Audiences will experience a rare glimpse into Elton's life, and the deeply personal meaning behind some of his greatest hits, via mesmerising, never-before-seen images and videos displayed throughout the show from his incredible 50-year career. Complete with brand new stage production, and tour wardrobe designed by Italian fashion house Gucci, Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road global tour is intimate and personal, while also spectacular and daring.
He will be joined by longstanding band members Nigel Olsson on drums (part of Elton's original three-piece band in 1970), esteemed musical director Davey Johnstone (who first recorded with Elton in 1971 and joined the band a year later) on guitar, virtuoso Ray Cooper on percussion, Matt Bissonette on bass, John Mahon on percussion, and Kim Bullard on keyboards.
Elton's enduring history with Australia is evident across the years, notably in 2012, when he opened the Perth Arena, and most recently delivering the final performance at the Sydney Entertainment Centre [since demolished], in December 2015.
He bids farewell to the road almost fifty years on from his debut Australian show, having played 196 concerts and performing to more than 1.5 million people across the country in that time. Since his career began in 1969, he has performed a staggering 4000-plus shows in more than 80 countries.
The performer said that after the tour finishes he looks forward to "coming off the road and dedicating more time to raising my children".
"I'm ecstatic and humbled to continue to play for audiences across the globe. I plan to bring to my final tour the passion and creativity that has entertained my fans for decades ... It's the most produced and fantastic show I've ever done. I want to go out with a bang." – Sir Elton John
Garnering rave reviews at sell-out shows across North America, Elton John's curtain call will be the last chance to catch this legendary performer touring in Australia.
More than a concert; an unforgettable memory! Tickets will go fast, don't miss out on your spot at Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.

France hotels
When choosing a hotel, choose a certain lifestyle, at least at the time of vacation. Guests at expensive hotels that is included in the prestigious list of the Leading Hotels of the World, there is no doubt that you need to relax like a king. Otherwise, with the best hotels and will not work, because many of them were built as villas and palaces for a select audience.
Hotel du Palais Biarritz.
The town of Biarritz on the French Atlantic coast is called the "king of beaches and beach of kings". And this is not an empty play on words. Even in the nineteenth century, when there appeared the Palace of Emperor Napoleon III, he was chosen by the European aristocracy. Luxurious Villa-Palace, built and named in honour of the Emperor's wife Eugenie. But over time Imperial residence became a hotel for the elite. Now the monogram of NE, combining the names of the Royal couple, is a symbol of the famous Hotel du Palais Biarritz.
Here all reminiscent of a classical Palace style of Napoleon III. The Windows and verandas of the best apartments in the hotel du Palais (called the Imperial Suite) overlooking the Atlantic ocean. In high season (from may to mid-October) this number will cost 1-1,1 thousand euros per day and it should be reserved several months in advance.The suites are equipped with furniture in the Empire style and decorated with antique works of art – as a hundred years ago, when stayed at the hotel, the representatives of the Russian court. Later the hotel became a tradition every fall to give the "Balls of Parsley" in honor of "Russian seasons" by Sergei Diaghilev. Arrange them in the hall du Palais. In memory of former Russian glory, the hotel has Russian-speaking staff. But the Russians here can be a little – the hotel du Palais is still the favorite destination of European aristocracy.
The hotel Eden is considered the most famous and chic in Rome. It has become so popular among foreigners in the early twentieth century that the building had to finish. In the end, Eden was crowned the splendid terrace, which offers stunning views of the Eternal city. La Terrazza of the hotel was a favorite place for an interview with Federico Fellini. But over the years the hotel has acquired a distinct cinematic reputation: stayed here almost all European and Hollywood stars of the first magnitude. A major reconstruction of Eden has undergone a few years ago, and now his apartments meet the highest requirements of "five stars". New exclusive offer of the hotel was built in modern style two-hundred-meter penthouse with a private Elevator and access to the terrace and the restaurant (3.9 thousand euros per day).
Baur au Lac, Zurich.
The best Zurich hotel is located in the heart of the unofficial capital of Switzerland. Everything is nearby: business area Paraderplatz and the shopping street Bahnhofstrasse, the famous Opera house and concert hall. From the top floor where the fitness center,- beautiful views of lake Zurich. The Baur au Lac has its own historic Park and one of the richest wine cellars in Switzerland.
The hotel, which is more than 150 years, an impeccable reputation. It was assumed that Baur au Lac is a residence for visiting dignitaries, traveling incognito in Switzerland can keep secrets not only of deposits but also the secrets of the richest people in the world. In centuries past at Baur au Lac, stayed for the summer of the Imperial family, countless princes, counts, barons. The hotel Richard Wagner presented the first act of die walküre, and sang by the composer himself, to the accompaniment of Franz Liszt. Here were Marc Chagall, Henry Moore, Anton Rubinstein. The movie stars of Opera and stage, often come in a rich and peaceful Zurich tour, traditionally prefer the Baur au Lac.
The hotel has 125 rooms. Prices starting from 460 up to 2.2 thousand Swiss francs.
Lausanne Palace, Lausanne.
Lausanne, the smallest of the "big five" Swiss cities – travel not just to relax but also to improve health. Wellness programs offered by many, but truly combining business with pleasure is not possible everywhere. The Lausanne Palace is one of the most reputable Spa establishments. It is located in the heart of Lausanne and terraces facing the lake Leman and the Alps visible in the distance.

Smart phones are getting bigger. Clearly unhappy with the already-really-rather-large size of its new Galaxy S4 (whch has a 5" screen), Samsung recently announced a new even-more-ginormous phone.
Yes, the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Mega (check out the name) has a massive 6.3" screen. It's a phone that is, frankly, ginormous.
To illustrate just how big it is, we've knocked up this diagram comparing it to an iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4. The image isn't actual size, but it is to scale:
The trend towards larger displays on smart phones isn't a new one. It seems to reflect our desire to do much more with these devices than just make phone calls.
Larger screens are better-suited to watching video and playing games, as well as less-exciting functions like viewing and editing documents or making video calls.
But how big is too big? And at what point does a smart phone stop being a phone, and start being a tablet?
Introducing the phablet
Well, some tech firms have pre-empted that question by creating an entirely new product category. I give you: the phablet.
Yes, really. Online seller Expansys even has a whole phablet category on its website. Phablets are a bit bigger than a typical smart phone but a bit smaller than your average tablet.
Tell friends or colleagues that you have a new phablet and they'll have no idea what you're on about, of course. But at least you'll know your new gadget has a name.
Phones, phablets, tablets ... who cares?
At the end of the day, as long as your phone / phablet / tablet does what you need it to, it doesn't matter what you call it.
But if you are shopping for a new smart phone, the diversity of screens available means it's important to check yours is right for the job. For instance:
- Is it big enough to easily read text on the screen?
- Is it small enough to fit in your pocket or bag?
- Can you use the phone comfortably with one hand?

Picnic Basket Defense
Picnic Basket Defense has similar main idea to AntBuster tower defense game. MyGame.com, creator of this game make playable clone of Desktop TD.
Main target of game is defend your picnic meals from ants ant other bugs. Game has engine copied from Desktop TD. But it doesn't mean, because game itself is very good. Insects are going from two entries, and leave your map in two exits. You must build your towers from standard picnic meals. Mustard tower is basic unit, and can kill ground enemies. Big advantage of mustard tower is its price, and possibility of many upgrades. Ketchup tower is more powerful and can attack ground and air units. Honey Trap slows ground enemies for 10 sec, without damage. With Pepper tower you can create pepper clouds and they damage all enemies in them. Toothpicks shoot projectiles and can attack multiple units. It is suitable for ground and air insects.
Sugar tower is special tower and it improves features of other towers around it. After clicking on existing tower tower you can see stats for tower. From there can be tower upgraded. Number of upgrades depends on tower type. Tower can be also sold. On bottom you can see enemies waves slider. Good tactics is similar to Desktop TD, that means to create maze for ground units. I prefer to join both entries into 1 way and continue through created maze. Be prepared also defend yourself from air insects.
Picnic Basket Defense is good tower defense game. I like this join of AntBuster and Desktop TD games.

Muscular tannins support the plush, expansive palate, while impeccably balanced acidity adds vibrancy. This wine reflects the depth and complexity of the combined vineyards, enhanced by extended barrel aging.
The 2015 Smith Wooton Melange, Napa Valley is a classic Right Bank Bordeaux blend composed of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This wine was carefully crafted by the Benton family to display elegance, finesse and age worthy gracefulness.
2016 Croze Cabernet Sauvignon follows the Croze philosophy of balance and elegance. Here is a wine with its roots deep in the cult wine growing area of Oakville, and its pedigree is long. This wine is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine shows its Oakville roots with beautiful aromas of cocoa, blackberry and toasted oak; full bodied with depth, moderate tannin and a long finish, this wine sings with chocolate, clove and anise.The grapes were harvested in October 2016 and following a slow fermentation the wine was racked to barrel using 1/3 new, 1/3 once filled and 1/3 twice filled French Oak barrels. The wine was racked twice in 2017 and 2018.
