Volkswagen says it plans to unveil its 261-miles-per-gallon XL1 plug-in hybrid, a two-seat sports machine that it will begin offering for sale this year, at the Geneva auto show on March 5.
The automaker, since at least 2002, has been experimenting with the idea of a vehicle capable of using only one liter or less of fuel to travel 100 kilometers. That would be the fuel economy equivalent of about 235 m.p.g., the company said; in tests, the XL1 has managed to achieve even better numbers than the original goals.
"The 261 m.p.g. fuel consumption figure is a record that has not been achieved by any other vehicle to date," the company announced in press materials on Thursday, "showing that Volkswagen is redefining what is technically feasible in the automotive industry."
Concept versions of the car, called the L1, have been shown in the last decade as a tandem two-seater. With the XL1, a concept version of which appeared in 2011, the cockpit has been widened to allow driver and passenger to sit more or less side by side.
The production version, Volkswagen says, still is able to achieve a low 0.189 drag coefficient, despite its wider body. Other aerodynamic aids include fully covered rear wheels and rearview mirrors that are integrated into the door panels. It has a curb weight of 1,753 pounds. The body is made principally of plastic, with an underlying aluminum frame.
Its powertrain is comprised of an 800-cc 2-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, with an output of 47 horsepower, which works with a 27-horsepower electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. The vehicle can travel up to 31 miles on electric power. Under full power, VW says the XL1 will accelerate to 60 m.p.h. in about 12.7 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 99 m.p.h.
VW says it will hand build the XL1 at its plant in Osnabrück, Germany, where the Porsche Boxster and VW Golf convertible are also built. After an initial production run of 50 vehicles, VW says it will adjust further production plans according to demand.

Saturday 11th May
With the 1st XI sideline by the weather it was left to the 2nd XI to carry the banner for the club. Despite the lunchtime showers and skipper Robson losing the the toss for the second week in a row, the home side set about steady progress on an old fashioned "sticky" wicket, a determined 51 from Gav Pratt enabling them to close on 172 for 9. With a drying wind and pitch concerns were raised as to wether the total would stand up to examination, such concerns were quickly laid to rest as Simon "Rodney" Papworth playing his first game of the season removed 2 opposition batsman in his first over and another in his second to leave the visitors reeling, with the youngsters taking regular wickets the visiting reply never got a start eventually ending all out in the mid 70s. This weeks special mention goes to Rich "none for" Varley who followed his usual economical spell of bowling with a fantastic low catch at about 3 ½ slip, which was on par with Kieron Robson's sliding / diving effort in the deep off another Ollie Smith "bouncer". With 2 victories in 2 matches confidence is high for next weeks road trip to Burbage.

Excellent AAR, Mr. Schaffner. If I can figure out how to do it, I'm attaching a photo of your regiment, and perhaps even your company, marching by us on Sunday as we in Kings Division refilled canteens and waited for the artillery duel to cease.[IMG]Yank Reinforcements[/IMG]

Editor, The Watchdog in Civil War News
Just after you posted this, Craig, I learned that you're right. We did have fellows falling out from the start. The size of the unit was such that I didn't notice any till we got to the field and the casualties included people in my own company. Apparently there were no chase vehicles, either. This could have proved a serious oversight although, based on my observations at the last Cross Keys, the presence of chase vehicles may have encouraged even more folks to fall out. In any case, although everyone was told many times in advance to prepare for the march, perhaps not everyone did. Even those who did may not have been fully prepared for the exertion and the heat. On Saturday I was a bit disappointed in myself.
In addition to losses on the march, which I've heard might well have exceeded 40, we had people who left early for physical reasons. I don't know how many, nor do I know how many of those who registered actually attended to begin with. It would be more than interesting to know -- it might prove helpful for everyone in future planning.
If I have a negative criticism of this event, it's the same one I have for nearly every organization at nearly every event: for all the staff officers and all the morning reports, we very rarely get the most basic data about attendance and attrition. I understand that folks in general and organizers in particular might be sensitive about this, but I think we can all benefit from more precise numbers than are covered in the term "reenactor math." I know it can be done; I've participated in events where we did it. I have some hopes that in this case the organizers will produce their own AAR and include such data.
Sorry to go on, but I know you don't very often hear that you were right.

You woulda thunk that the 15th Iowa woulda had company rosters......and that roll calls taken prior to embarking, after each transport came in.....just before the march...at the rest stops.....would have documented by name who was straggling, AWOL, etc. How about passes for the stragglers, recorded into the company books? Sounds like we've got an area to improve upon......maybe we need to hold 3 roll calls a days, as they did?

Is there any strict luggage limit while travelling by train in West Europe? In Poland, for example, one can take as much luggage as one can carry, so 2 big suitcases and a rucksack and the backpack are allowed. Does the same rule apply for trains in Germany, France, Belgium etc.?
Limits as to the amount of luggage you can take is usually governed by two principles:
Special rules exist for large luggage, such as bicycles. Those can normally only be taken if explicitly allowed. But simple suitcases and backpacks are only limited by the principles I listed above. The rules in theory probably differ per country and even per train company, but in practice the above is true in all countries where I have travelled by train (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Austria). The only problematic situation I have encountered is when everybody in a small night-train compartment had a lot of luggage and people were forced to take luggage on their bed (but normally one can get away with simply storing luggage on the floor once everybody has gone to bed). |
in France, there is no limit either (the only rule is you should tag them all) on regular luggage according to the French company{fr}. It is really not enforced (I have never seen some train agent telling someone he had too much stuff). However, you might not be able to keep an eye on your luggage (luggage space is sometimes between the coaches) so you'd better not carry too valuable stuff. Bikes and animals can also be carried (for some fee). For Germany, I didn't find a lot of information, I suppose it is quite the same (no actual limit and it is not enforced anyway) I know it's possible to travel with a bike for a fee too. For Belgium, the limit is officially 3 pieces of luggage, and skis, kids' car :) ... are free to carry. But I have no idea whether it is strongly enforced. |
In the Netherlands, rules state it should fit in the luggage racks or storage space between the seats. That's all that's stated, and is ambiguous as those aren't uniform in size between trains. |

Irish scrum-half Tomas O'Leary says he has no regrets about swapping Munster for the Madejski Stadium.
The 28-year-old had been a Munster stalwart before moving on. But things have not started well in Reading with a just one win out of five claimed.
Last week's 35-11 loss at Worcester followed their first victory of the season at Bath the week before but O'Leary insists the mood is upbeat.
"I have no regrets about the move," said O'Leary.
"It's been a tough start in terms of results but it's a long, hard season, there are no easy games in the Premiership. I'm enjoying the competitive nature of the games. It's a fresh start for me, it's the first time I've moved clubs but the boys have made it very easy to settle in and they've made me feel really welcome.
"I felt I needed a new challenge, things didn't go too well for me at Munster last season and one of the reasons I left was to come and challenge myself.
"I had a great few years at Munster, we won the Heineken Cup and a few league titles which was obviously a great experience. It was a privilege to have played for them.
"Hopefully if we can be a bit more consistent at Irish we can get a similar sort of success."
Despite the loss at Sixways it was the Exiles who made the brighter start with a try from number eight Ofisa Treviranus before the hosts ran away with it in the second half.
And while international O'Leary admits there are positives to take from their most recent fixture, he wants to see a concerted 80-minute performance put in on a regular basis.
"I suppose we had put ourselves in a position to win the game, we were pleased with the opening 20 minutes or so but we fell apart towards the end and let them in for a couple of easy tries," he added.
"We had a good start but for whatever reason we didn't perform, we need to play for the entire 80 minutes on a consistent basis.
"It was disappointing because there was a lot of confidence in training after the win at Bath, we were looking forward to the game but we have to try and get back on the horse this weekend against Northampton Saints."

"The state of the city of Laurinburg is good," said interim City Manager Harold Haywood, speaking during Thursday's "State of the Community" event at the W.R. Dulin Center.
Haywood was joined by Scotland County Manager Kevin Patterson and Scotland County economic developer Greg Icard in giving a presentation on the state of the local economy. Following their presentations the three also hosted a brief question and answer session.
Sponsored by the Laurinburg-Scotland County Area Chamber of Commerce, the well-attended event shined a positive light the community. More than 60 people attended the presentations.
"There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and no, it's not the light of a freight train. It's the light of hope," said Haywood, who pointed out that the tax burden placed on local businesses and residents by the city is favorable when comparing Laurinburg to similar cities in the state.
During his presentation, Icard highlighted the steady progress that has been made by the county in recruiting and retaining industry.
"We are actually doing much better than some of our surrounding counties," Icard said. "There is reason for hope and reason to understand that things are going to get better. We are going to move forward with some things that will make the people in this room excited."
According to Icard, one of the most challenging aspects of economic development is retaining industry that is already in place.
In light of that fact, Icard said that the two expansions announced by businesses already in the county during 2012 were especially impressive. One was by FCC, which announced that they would be moving into the county-owned shell building in 2013, and the other was by Service Thread.
At $57.6 million and with 66 new jobs, Icard said that FCC's announcement represented "quite a large investment for our county." According to Icard, it has been more than 15 years since such a large investment was announced.
"Most investments are between five and fifteen million," Icard said.
Icard recognized Service Thread and its COO Jay Todd, who was in attendance, as a "great example" of the kind of business that the county needs to continue to recruit.
"They're working really, really hard and doing things differently than other businesses," Icard said of Service Thread.
Service Thread announced an investment of more than $1 million during 2012 as well as 35 new jobs.
Icard also shared photos of the ongoing construction of the new Small Business Innovation Center off of Highway 401 in Laurinburg. Scheduled to officially open in March, the center was made possible by a partnership between Scotland County, the city of Laurinburg and Richmond Community College.
That center will host an industrial tenant and provide classroom space and educational opportunities to local entrepreneurs. Several RCC staffers will also be moving into the building, which will host Icard's office as well.
County Manager Kevin Patterson focused on the actual cost of county government for the current year during his address to the assembly.
"It costs every person in the county $1.97 per day. … For this current year Scotland County is raising $25.8 million in taxes," Patterson said.
Breaking the daily tax burden down by segment, Patterson said that the largest portion of the $1.97 goes to education.
"93 cents per day goes to education," Patterson said.
Included in that education figure is each of the area public schools as well as the funding that goes toward the school system's partnership with Richmond Community College and St. Andrews University.
The other broad service groups provided by the county, said Patterson, are public safety and human services – with the smallest segment of the pie going to fund human services.
A number of local government officials attended the 8 a.m. event, including Laurinburg Mayor Tommy Parker and Guy McCook, the chairman of the Scotland County Board of Commissioners.
The morning started with a 7:30 a.m. breakfast.
"We're going to do a similar type program at the end of the year dealing with education," said the Chamber's Allen McLaurin, previewing an event that he said will include representatives of RCC, local grade schools and St. Andrews University.

Mattophobia ♦♦
I'm skeptical about the Retina Display version. I imagine some people will try to use it for gaming, which isn't a very good idea since the video card in the laptop isn't nearly powerful enough to drive games at that resolution. answered Jun 17 '12 at 12:57 Gorkon5567 Diablo 3 has been updated to support the retina display and is running fine on ultra settings as far as i'm aware
(Jun 17 '12 at 14:04)
Running highest settings at full resolution it runs D3 at about 20ish FPS. So not horrible but by no means is the, base model, anything to be overly happy about at least as far as graphics performance. I'm sure some of the upgraded versions will do better, I've only seen the base model however.
(Jun 17 '12 at 15:45)
i have the base model with 16GB of Ram coming in the next couple on days, maybe even tomorrow so i will let you know how it performs
(Jun 17 '12 at 15:49)
Yeah, throw a variety of games on it, My friend bought one the other day and he let me test D3, and I wanted to see how fast it would run maxed out. Obviously if you turned stuff down it would have no problem at all.

Shopping on social media may not be big right now, but by 2015, it's expected to explode... A new infographic by has found that "social commerce sales are expected to bring in $30 billion each year by 2015, with half of web sales to occur through social media," writes Samantha Murphy of Mashable. Currently, one in three small businesses use Facebook, while there are over 42 million fan pages on Facebook. Seventeen percent of those sell products on the pages. Facebook fans are 79 percent more likely than a non-fan to purchase a product, and 74 percent of fans are more likely to recommend a company or product. The social media site also drives 26 percent of referral traffic to company websites. Right now "20 percent of shoppers prefer to purchase products via Facebook than the brand's website"— and that number is expected to climb. Via Lauren Moss, Martin Hombre Hormiga Delete the scoop?

(Part of the series on Sun Tzu's ; The Art of War – from the SEO perspective.)
Sun Tzu said:
The onset of troops is like the rush of a torrent which will even roll stones along in its course. The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.
Therefore the good fighter will be terrible in his onset, and prompt in his decision.
SEO Style;
This speaks to timing. Knowing when to move and when not to can be quite important in SEO. It might be a seasonal target where we need to hit the space with velocity timed to peak. It may be a program that seeks virality; timing can be everything.
The SEO warrior must be conscious of timing. Knowing when to strike will help to ensure victory.
Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision, to the releasing of a trigger.
SEO Style;:
In the early parts we again consider timing V preparation and strategy. I've seen link bait fail by missing a moment. Programs gone astray by not realizing core keyword evolutions. Many a arge corporations weakness in battle is the inability to be nimble. Timing plays a roll across all aspects of our world.
Amid the turmoil and tumult of battle, there may be seeming disorder and yet no real disorder at all; amid confusion and chaos, your array may be without head or tail, yet it will be proof against defeat.
If we have undertaken the planning, the strategy and other steps along this journey, then our strategy may seem like no strategy at all. It seems chaotic not planned. Our competitor should never see us coming. Even to the trained eye our SEO programs seem unclear or non-existant. Let others in the query space concern them with each other, considering your successes to be chance, while you move past and defeat them all.
Until next time.... remember; "Muddy water, let stand becomes clear." - Lao Tzu
In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory.
Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more.
Again, all battle consists of direct and indirect attacks. If we go beyond keywords we can consider vertical assets. We may come in direct (doing on-page SEO) but soon we must start using indirect methods (social media, public relations, outreach etc..). We can consider here that direct cannot exist in a void. We must always find indirect elements to enhance the program.
There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard. There are not more than five primary colors (blue, yellow, red, white, and black), yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen. There are not more than five cardinal tastes (sour, acrid, salt, sweet, bitter), yet combinations of them yield more flavors than can ever be tasted.
Nuff said... the options are infinite in the world of SEO. It is how we combine and use the tactics that make the program.
In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack: the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers.
The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle—you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?
We take what we've considered about direct and indirect strategy, from keywords to programs. And consider while there are two constants, the many ways in which we can approach them is many. This is often the true art of SEO; knowing what to do, where to do it, how much and when.
We'll be back next week and I'll start posting 2x per til we 'git r done'.
The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers. Fighting with a large army under your command is nowise different from fighting with a small one: it is merely a question of instituting signs and signals.
Most readily this speaks to our resources, in particular staffing and teams. But not as readily digestible as it may at first seem. Each team must be equal in members and leaders. One of the more common mistakes I've seen is companies that grow faster than they can find talent to lead and do. Ensure talent, communication and systemic elements are consistent.
The load you bear will increase exponentially with the size of the team or company you are leading. Respect it not fear.
To ensure that your whole host may withstand the brunt of the enemy's attack and remain unshaken—this is effected by maneuvers direct and indirect. That the impact of your army may be like a grindstone dashed against an egg—this is effected by the science of weak points and strong.
In many of the interpretations I came across they speak of direct and indirect movements to throw the opponent off balance. Actions intended to confuse or to mislead. Attacking direct when setting up for the indirect attack and vice verse. Fixate the enemy's attention in one area and snatch victory in another.
In SEO we can consider this in many ways. One may be to make targets obvious and others not as much. Have them waste resources on a core high value target while you snatch up all the modified longer tail terms, (which generally convert better as well). Don't make your SEO strategy obvious.
Thanks for dropping in. After a year off, I shall endeavour to finish the series in the coming weeks. Drop your own thoughts in the comments...
Hi there, miss me? Didn't figure so....
It's been nearly a year since I posted over here, but will be doing a re-design and getting back to the Art of War; SEO Style series in the new year. The Trail shall live on.
Anyway, as has been the tradition for a few years, we're making merry giving peeps social avatars for the holidays (see last year's version here). We've even got a head start already with a few folks (see below). If you're interested, just track me down on Twitter, Google+, Facebook or leave a comment and we shall hook ya up!!
Here's the (growing) additions to this year.
My own new one...

Happy holidays from yer fav Gypsy (and likely the only one ya know...). We'll get back together here in January. Ok?
The consummate leader cultivates the moral law, and strictly adheres to method and discipline; thus it is in his power to control success.
In respect of military method, we have, firstly, Measurement; secondly, Estimation of quantity; thirdly, Calculation; fourthly, Balancing of chances; fifthly, Victory. Measurement owes its existence to Earth; Estimation of quantity to Measurement; Calculation to Estimation of quantity; Balancing of chances to Calculation; and Victory to Balancing of chances.
Essentially the ability to succeed will rest with you. Each link in the chain from planning to strategy to execution depends on the other and you have the power to control the outcome. I hear you saying, "What if Google changes the game?". Then your strategy and planning must account for this potential.
A victorious army opposed to a routed one, is as a pound's weight placed in the scale against a single grain. The onrush of a conquering force is like the bursting of pent-up waters into a chasm a thousand fathoms deep.
And so success lies in bringing all the elements (discussed so far in this series) to bear in an organized and timely manner. When you do it right, success is all but guaranteed with your program. Weaknesses become strengths, the unforeseen becomes seen

Hey gang, as you may or may not know, I am using this as my personal blog for musing and other fun. Most of my writing will now be done at Search News Central, Search Engine Journal and Search Engine Land. But since a lot of folks still come here, it seems a good idea to give you an update on recent news
SEO Dojo T-shirts - back last fall there was a post here with some funky shirt ideas and after finding some time in my insane schedule, we manage to get them together. Go have a look, I hope you like them. More to come soon.
Social Signals and SEO - was an article I posted this week on SNC that looks at the over growing hyperbole surrounding the world of social signals and search. Hopefully this sheds some light on it all and we can be a little more realistic moving forward.
Patents 2010 - for those of my geeking brethren, I did a series of posts rounding up the various patents of interest from the big 3 (now 2?). You can find them here; Google, Bing, Yahoo!
Search Geeks Speak; Danny Sullivan - we've started a new show on SEO Dojo Radio where we will be talking to various people from the search industry. The first show kicked things off well as Danny Sullivan dropped by to hang out. A good time had by all.
And there you have it... I hope 2011 is going well for you and we'll cya in da' SERPs!
What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease. Hence his victories bring him neither reputation for wisdom nor credit for courage. He wins his battles by making no mistakes. Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated.
As an SEO warrior, seek to employ greater strategic elements than the opponent(s). Be lean and nimble to capture opportunities (often hard for larger corporates). See the larger picture. When you do this you may seems to win with ease. To the observer you have done seemingly little but accomplished much. As noted in 1 translation;
Mei Yao-ch`en says: "He who only sees the obvious, wins his battles with difficulty; he who looks below the surface of things, wins with ease."
Have a better plan and make as few mistakes as possible, success is nearly certain.
Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible, and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy. Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
Simply enough, be prepared. As we have discussed prior it is not all about brute force (think large budget) nor is it all about strategy. It also does not revolve around the best team nor resources at hand nor timing even. It is about no single element. But by considering all of these elements and how they will affect the battle (SEO program) and anticipating mistakes (Mr Murphy is always on staff) puts us in an excellent position to succeed.
Never simply charge in and then begin to plan on the fly. While it may work now and again, it surely isn't the approach to guarantee long term success.
(tune in Wed for the next edition)
The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy. Hence the saying: One may KNOW how to conquer without being able to DO it
We cannot seek victory by securing our own assets and positions. Ultimately, you must find weaknesses, tactically or strategically, to ultimately prevail. This can be pages ranked above or below you. Against companies not only individual query spaces. It can be considered on a few levels. We consider not only rankings but also budgets. Think big.
But ultimately we can only do our best to position ourselves well in the battle, seek the advantage strategically and come what may. You won't win all the battles, but quite possibly the war. To best position against defeat we conceal our dispositions (make your tactics hard to detect, so they aren't even sure a 'professional' SEO is on the job).
Security against defeat implies defensive tactics; ability to defeat the enemy means taking the offensive.
Standing on the defensive indicates insufficient strength; attacking, a superabundance of strength.
The general who is skilled in defence hides in the most secret recesses of the earth; he who is skilled in attack flashes forth from the topmost heights of heaven. Thus on the one hand we have ability to protect ourselves; on the other, a victory that is complete.
SEO Style:
Right away the old (sports) saying comes to mind; you can't play 'not to lose'. There are times to play it safe, close to the chest, but one also must know when to move. Not to lose, is avoiding aspects that can bring it crashing down (glaring search engine offences). Taking the offence is being the first mover on a news story.
To be successful you need to wield both the sword and the shield. Tactics is about knowing when you are weak. Don't waste resources on campaigns that offer little or you're ill equipped to carry out. Protect those above the fold rankings and go lateral taking #1's on the flanks.
Employ offence and defence strategically.

Mortgage Scammers Targeting Elderly, Veterans
By: Katie Thompson
Updated: June 26, 2012
The scammers will smooth talk their way into having you pay an up-front fee in exchange for loan modification help.
The scams appear to have low interest rates, but in reality will rise substantially over time.
Lenders say this is a type of predatory lending, where non-legitimate companies take advantage of elderly who are living off a fixed income.
They may call or come door-to-door, but mortgage lenders are warning elderly residents to take extra precaution of the environment in which these scammers get you to close a deal.
Local lenders advise residents to ask questions at your local bank or financial adviser if you think you may be getting scammed.
