We reported before that Nissan's GT-R wouldn't take modifications easily. Now it turns out that Nissan has put a series of draconian measures in place designed to stop high speeds and aftermarket modifications to the GT-R. Suddenly we're less enthusiastic about owning one.
The original GT-R was legendary for its ease of modification – 900hp was a breeze. So, why would Nissan remove the fun? We're not sure, but Mine's Motor Sports President Michizio Nikura told Motor Trend that even aftermarket wheels are not allowed. A sensor mounted in the valve stem detects the new wheels and throws up an error code on the dashboard.
Mines had fitted a custom exhaust for the Tokyo Auto Salon, but this caused the ECU major problems. And, it seems that the 180kph speed limiter that is GPS based (it unlocks when you reach a racetrack) will only unlock on approved racetracks, and the user has to navigate through several menus on the GT-R's touchscreen to make the change. Then, when you've finished your track day you're required to head over to a Nissan High Performance Centre where an expensive 'safety check' is performed. Fail to do this and the factory warranty is void.
We think this will serious limit the resale value of the GT-R, but maybe not the desirability of purchasing a new one. Nissan had built its reputation as being a marque that produced a tunable supercar in the R32-R34 GT-Rs. Now they're throwing that all away.
With both Impreza WRC2007s scoring points this weekend, the Subaru World Rally Team remains tied for second place in the overall Manufacturers' Championship standings. Solberg is tied for fourth in the Drivers' Championship, whilst Atkinson is just behind in sixth position after his haul of points on Rallye Monte Carlo.
The final day of the Swedish Rally brought the same conditions, albeit the temperature was slightly colder, and the routes were run on gravel from the very first speed test this morning. It was left badly rutted and muddy after the morning's pass, and, as we saw yesterday, the second running in the afternoon was cancelled.
"We just drove today to finish the event and collect some more points, for us and the team. There was nothing special today and I'm pleased with fourth" said Petter Solberg. "Everyone at the front backed off today I think and we weren't fighting for position so we didn't take any risks. The stages were bad again today, and we pretty much ran them all on gravel. I felt the balance of the car in these conditions was better this morning than yesterday, but we had no reason to push today."
Atkinson and Prevot continued their steady run since losing time on Friday to climb to 21st place overall, having gained 24 positions since the close of Friday's stages. Finishing the final day's five stages with some top four stage times, the Australian was left pleased with his progress but ruing Friday's mistake.
"We really weren't pushing today as we didn't need to take any risks" said Chris Atkinson. "I'm disappointed we went off on Friday, but we've come back up through the field and still gained a Manufacturer point. The stages today were the same as yesterday, and we saw those at the front back off so there were no real fights for position. It's been a difficult rally for us, but we take the point and now look to Mexico which will be a totally different event."

Slotted discs have shallow channels cut in them. These help de-glaze the brake pad, and help the brake to get rid of brake dust which is worn off the pad while braking. Because the channels have an edge (and because they're designed to stop brake pads glazing) they wear the pad down more quickly.
Slotted discs have the same advantage as cross-drilled discs in that they prevent a layer of water or gas becoming trapped between the pad and the disc, so they improve performance.
Most commonly the slots run in the same direction around the disc, but the image above shows Wilwood's asymmetrical grooves – slots that are not evenly spaced or in the same direction. This is to reduce potential harmonic vibration under braking and ensure even wear on the brake pads.
For everyday driving, slotted disc rotors might be overkill (even though they look the part), but if you participate in motorsport they're a recommended component for your braking system.
Some high performance cars feature cross-drilled brake discs. Cross-drilling is where holes are drilled through the brake disc. This was first tried in the 1960s on racing cars to make the brakes more efficient (it prevents a layer of gas or water getting trapped between the pad and the disc.)
On the road under normal braking cross-drilled discs offer better performance, but on the track the holes are prone to developing stress cracks under heavy braking when the discs heat up. For this reason, if you are racing, cross-drilled brake discs are not the best choice, but for everyday on-road motoring they can offer a performance advantage over non-cross-drilled brakes.
And they look cool.
Toyota FT-HS concept – will the new Celica look a bit like this? Unlikely, even though it's cool.
Rumours have surfaced in Japan about the return of the Celica. News of a new low-cost sportscar from Toyota have been bouncing around for a while, but we thought it would be based on the AE86 Sprinter or Trueno – lightweight, rear drive, and designed to capitalise on the drifting phenomenon.
1978 Celica – sporty!
But the Celica name holds some cachet – the rally success of Carlos Sainz ingrained the legend of the four-wheel drive Celica in the minds of many enthusiasts.
Word on the street is that there'll be a base-trim GT possibly powered by a naturally aspirated EJ20 boxer flat four driving the rear wheels, and a nutcase version GT-Four with 300hp and AWD (possibly with the fronts being driven by an electric motor). It may even have hints of the FT-HS concept, pictured above.
With Toyota's new partnership with Subaru (it bought a stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru's parent company in 2005), the boxer and the AWD will come from the Impreza WRX STI.

Citroen's quadruple FIA World Rally Champions Sebastien Loeb and co-driver, Daniel Elena, will make their 100th WRC start in Sweden this weekend. Frenchman Loeb and Monegasque, Elena, are the most successful pairing in WRC to date, with 37 wins from their 99 starts. They also hold the records for most wins in one season (10 in 2005) and the longest run of consecutive wins (6 in 2005).
The pair, who contested their first rally together 10 years ago, have notched up a massive 61 WRC podiums on their way to a reliable 85% finishing record. Only Carlos Reutemann has ever set a better starts to podiums ratio, in the 1980s.
Loeb and Elena have won the last four WRC titles, and altogether have triumphed on 17 different events — 12 rallies on the current WRC calendar plus previous rounds in Sanremo, Portugal, Ireland, Cyprus and Australia.
Sebastien is also the only non-Nordic driver to have won the Swedish Rally, in 2004, and he and Daniel will be looking to continue their perfect start to the '08 season, having set a brand new record two weeks ago, when they clinched their fifth Rallye Monte Carlo victory.
"Sure, it would be nice to celebrate our 100th start with a win," observed Sebastien. "But scoring points in both championships will also be important, and I will base my pace on the way the rally unfolds."
The 2008 Swedish Rally starts in Karlstad on Thursday, February 8.
If your ride is far too quiet, now you can make it sound like a rally car without offending the fuzz by breaching noise regulations. With government crackdowns on loud exhausts, and the trend towards quieter engines that sound like a sewing machines, wouldn't it be great to ride along listening to your car sounding like a rally weapon, or a race car?
These sounds are the ones that make your hair stand on end when you start the engine, and now you can get all this through your stereo speakers (better hope it's a good stereo or it'll sound rank!)
Virtual Motor from in.pro is a sound module that fits in place of your radio. Run the cables to the engine compartment and it picks up the engine rpm. Set the idle speed and you're away. Four engine tones are available, and you can change them on the fly with a push of a button, be it a revved-up V8 Italian super sports car, the distinctive six-cylinder sound of a boxer engine, a rally car or formula race car. There's not an option for a 1000hp GT-R – perhaps there'll be an upgrade pack in the future. If we all end up driving electric cars through congested streets, this might be the only thing that makes motoring enjoyable.

Created: 04/08/2014 6:19 PM
By: Stuart Dyson, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Higher property tax bills are on the way for about 500 Bernalillo County "farmers" who haven't grown crops or raised live stock in a long, long time. The county tax assessor is about halfway through a county-wide review of a tax break for farmers.
It doesn't take much to get a farm on the tax books in New Mexico, and keep it there for years. We found one North Valley property that is classified as a farm, despite the fact that not even grass is growing there. It used to have an irrigation ditch, but it appears to have been un-used for decades. It's one of the properties that is going from farm status to something else with a higher tax bill – residential, most likely. There are more than 500 of them so far, and many of them are easy to spot, said Deputy Assessor Damian Lara.
"For example, it's gone from a field of alfalfa to a residence," Lara said. "They've actually built something on that, whether it's a home, or a tennis court, or a swimming pool. That's the most clear cut."
Some farms are being reduced in size on the tax books, Lara said. For example, a two acre alfalfa field that now has a house and garage and lawn on one acre will now the be listed as a one acre farm – if it's still being farmed.
Two analysts are working their way through the Valley right now, and will soon head into other parts of the county where property owners are claiming farm status.
"If we're all paying our fair share, then we'll all pay a little less," Lara said.
There are 4,205 properties listed as farms in Bernalillo County. Lara said there is no pricetag yet on how much the county will make by eliminating or reducing the non-farms. Property owners will have time to file a protest over the findings – and start growing something if they want to keep their farm status.

Final day of session: Legislature passes medicinal marijuana, in-state tuition bills
We focus on all things politics in the Sunshine State. We are the joint Bureau of E.W. Scripps / Tampa Tribune in Tallahassee.
TALLAHASSEE _ A strain of low-potency marijuana would be legal in Florida to treat epilepsy and cancer patients under a bill passed by the Legislature on Friday.
The measure — met with skepticism when first proposed — passed with strong support in both chambers after lawmakers heard stories of children suffering from seizures who could be helped by the marijuana strain, known as Charlotte's Web.
The bill passed the Senate 30-9 Friday, a day after the House supported it 111-7. Gov. Rick Scott has said he will sign it.
Bill sponsor Sen. Rob Bradley said months ago that he would have been the last person in the chamber to support it because as a former prosecutor he takes tough positions on drugs. Then he researched the issue and heard stories of children it's helped and said he couldn't say no.
RayAnn Moseley, an 11-year-old girl who has up to 300 seizures a week, is part of what swayed Bradley. Her parents, Peyton and Holley Moseley, have been fighting to get the bill passed, and Bradley said he has kept a photo of the girl on his desk since meeting her father.
"I'm looking forward to the day RayAnn gets to take her first treatment and to next year to be able to come back and brag and say 'Oh my goodness! Look at her now!'" Holley Mosely said. "It makes me proud for her. She's changing Florida law. She's making history here."
The bill puts strong restrictions on the use of the drug. It can have no more than 0.8 percent THC, the chemical that makes users feel high. On average, marijuana has about 15 percent THC, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The strain has normal levels of cannabidiol, or CBD, which is used to treat seizures.
Also, people would not be able to just walk into a doctor's office and get a prescription. Only doctors have who have been providing ongoing treatment of a patient can prescribe it, and only as a last resort if other treatments aren't effective.
In-state tuition for students here illegally passes
Florida students living in the country illegally will be allowed to qualify for in-state college tuition rates under a bill passed by the Legislature.
The bill heads to Gov. Rick Scott who has already promised to sign it into law.
The Florida House voted 84-32 Friday for the bill, which offers the in-state college tuition rate to undocumented students who had attended a Florida school for at least three years prior to graduation.
Currently the in-state tuition rate is one-quarter of what is paid by out-of-state students and those who are in the country illegally.
The in-state college tuition bill has been considered several times before but it drew strong opposition from many Republicans.
But this year Scott and other GOP leaders such as House Speaker Will Weatherford backed the bill.
Public money to be available for stadiums
New public money would be available for privately owned stadiums, including a potential new home for the Tampa Bay Rays, under legislation passed Friday by the Florida Legislature.
The Senate made some last-minute changes to a House bill (HB 7095), which the House then passed 89-27, sending it to Gov. Rick Scott.
His office didn't indicate whether he will sign it.
Teams would apply to the state's Department of Economic Opportunity for sales tax rebate funding. Public money can be used for "constructing, reconstructing, renovating, or improving a facility or reimbursing such costs," the bill says.
The Rays don't hide the fact they would like a new stadium, but team executives have declined to say whether they would ask for money from the state.
Stadiums already receiving public money are eligible for up to $1 million a year. In all cases, funding would last up to 30 years.
Spring-training complexes can get up to $1 million yearly for 20 years for a single team and $2 million a year for 25 years if multiple teams use the stadium.
The planned $400 million renovations to Daytona International Speedway also are eligible.
Legislature passes bill to better protect sex-trafficking victims
The Florida House and Senate on Friday unanimously passed a measure (HB 7141) that would improve protections for sex-trafficking victims, providing an array of services such as medical care and specially trained child-protective investigators and case managers.
The bill, which now goes to Gov. Rick Scott, would also direct the Department of Children and Families to inspect and certify the "safe houses," where victims can find shelter and services, and to establish services in parts of the state where none exist.
The bill would also direct DCF to adopt screening and assessment tools to identify sexually exploited children and would allow such children to be placed in safe houses if the assessment determines that is the most appropriate setting and a place is available.
"Victims of human trafficking all too often return to a life of exploitation at the hands of their traffickers," Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, said in a statement. "This legislation will help these emotionally vulnerable children, looking for someone to love and care for them, break the cycle of physical and emotional abuse suffered at the hands of vicious criminals who engage in human trafficking."

Top NSA Officials: U.S. Has Turned Into Stasi Germany or Soviet Union
Posted on June 30, 2014 by WashingtonsBlog
What the Heck Happened to America?
Senior NSA executive Thomas Drake is an expert on spying in Stasi Germany … having studied it for years.
Drake told Washington's Blog that the U.S. has adopted the Stasi model:
"Collect it all, know it all" [the NSA's model] is actually the Stasi model. It's not just know everything; we have to be able to keep everything that we want to know, even if we don't know it yet.

Located in New York City, SCEPA is at the center of a network of leaders dedicated to progressive and innovative education and ideas.
SCEPA faculty are investigating the economics of climate change, from mitigation proposals to implementation.
SCEPA focuses on the U.S. economy, with an awareness of the global context of domestic economic developments.
A research institute within The New School's Economics Department, SCEPA is dedicated to collaboration between today's experts and tomorrow's leading economists.
SCEPA is working to reform a retirement system that is failing Americans.
- On Capitol Hill
- On Wall Street
- In the Press
- Policy Reform Work
Our projects are designed to empower policy makers to create positive change. With a focus on collaboration and outreach, we provide original, standards-based research on key policy issues.
SCEPA joined with the Economic Policy Institute on Capitol Hill to brief congressional staff and policy experts on tax expenditures, or incentives given through the tax code without scrutiny by Congress.
SCEPA economists are working on the prospects for a more progressive economic order to emerge from the shock of the recession. They have published papers and documents that place current events in a longer-term context as well as policy proposals to deal with short-term concerns. They are also documenting the emerging discussion of how the discipline of economics is reacting to the Great Recession and the questioning of conventional economic analysis.
Lance Taylor, a SCEPA Faculty Fellow, presents an overview of his new book, Maynard's Revenge, in a Google Tech Talk.
The book, published this November by Harvard University Press, is a timely analysis of mainstream macroeconomics, posing the need for a more useful and realistic economic analysis that can provide a better understanding of the ongoing global financial and economic crisis.
The government spends $143 billion through tax breaks in an effort to expand pension coverage and security. Yet, over half of the American workforce does not have a pension. Retirement insecurity hurts business plans, workers' lives and retiree well-being. Reform is needed.
SCEPA's Guaranteeing Retirement Income Project, sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation and in collaboration with Demos and the Economic Policy Institute, has a plan to guarantee safe and secure retirement income for all Americans.
A Solution to New York City's Retirement Insecurity
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, May 21, 2014
The New York Times' Kate Taylor raises the issue of New York City's retirement insecurity in her article, As the City's Elderly Population Swells, Concerns Rise Over Lack of Access to Retirement Plans. She documents the decrease in workers' access to retirement plans at work found in SCEPA's research, Are New Yorkers Ready for Retirement?
"According to Ms. Ghilarducci's research, 59 percent of workers in the city do not have either a pension or a 401(k), up from 51 percent a decade ago. Many small businesses do not have the human resources capacity to manage a 401(k). Moreover, Ms. Ghilarducci says, 401(k)'s are less than ideal for workers themselves, since they charge higher fees and have lower rates of return than pension funds, in part because people can withdraw their money at any time."
The solution: "creating a pooled pension fund for private sector workers that the city itself could manage."
Financial Stress, Sovereign Debt and Economic Activity
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, May 21, 2014
The Journal of International Money and Finance, one of the top journals for international finance, published SCEPA economists Christian R. Proaño, Christian Schoder and Willi Semmler's working paper, 'Financial Stress, Sovereign Debt and Economic Activity in Industrialized Countries: Evidence from Dynamic Threshold Regressions.' This paper is an expansion on their policy note, 'The Role of Financial Stress in Debt and Recovery' which studied the change in the sovereign debt and its impact on economic growth. Their study discovered that national debt was insignificant in determining the level of economic growth a country experiences as long as the financial market was stable. National debt was only detrimental to countries if there were high levels of instability and risk in the financial market. These findings explain why austerity policies have failed to promote economic growth, because economic growth depends first on financial market stability, and is only an issue if financial markets are unstable.
Ghilarducci Testifies at the U.S. Senate on Retirement Insecurity and Inequality
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, May 20, 2014
On May 21, 2014, SCEPA Director Teresa Ghilarducci testified before the U.S. Senate on Finance Subcommittee on Social Security, Pensions, and Family Policy at a hearing titled, "Strengthening Social Security to Meet the Needs of Tomorrow's Retirees." As a retirement expert, Ghilarducci provided an oral and written statement on how the retirement crisis exacerbates inequality.
The hearing was broadcast online. Below is an excerpt from Ghilarducci's comments.
"The current voluntary, self-directed, liquid, commercial retirement account system relies on generous tax subsidies and is stacked against workers for five reasons.
- Nearly half of workers have no plan at work because the system is voluntary. Only 53% of the workforce have any kind of retirement plan at work, which is down from 60% 10 years ago
- Middle class workers are more likely to take out loans or withdraw money before retirement from their 401(k) or IRA's than the highest income workers. Many workers use their retirement accounts as savings accounts. A 30-year-old who cashes out a $16,000 account will be losing an estimated $470 a month at age 67.
- Tax deductions create inequality in unintended and perverse ways. Two people can save exactly the same amount in their 401(k) plans and IRAs, but the higher earner will get a larger tax deduction and therefore a higher rate of return on their savings. Over just a few years this differential multiplies exponentially so the system unintentionally penalizes middle and lower income savers.
- Lower income workers have more conservative portfolios, which is rational, but those portfolios earn less overtime.
- Middle and lower income savers pay higher fees; they don't enjoy scale economies in fund management."

The Best Thriller Films of 2013
List of the best thriller films of 2013, as ranked by film critics and movie lovers. The thriller is one of the most aptly named genres because each film is designed to give you a thrill, by leaving you in palm-sweating suspense and on the edge of your seat at every turn. Thrillers can be scary,action-packed, or simple psychological dramas. In 2013, there were plenty of thrillers introduced to the general viewing public that fit within many sub-genres from action adventure to horror.
The films on this list were the most exhilarating additions to the thriller genre in 2013. These movies featured haunting villains,shocking plot twists, and terrifying imagery that will be remembered for decades to come. Movies like The Purge and The Conjuring were on the scarier side of the genre, while movies like Stoker and All is Lost took subtler risks to keep viewers excited. Films like Gravity had viewer's hearts pounding for hours, making them worthy of the "thriller" title.
What are the best thriller films of 2013? This list includes well known thrillers like Mama and A Good Day to Die Hard, as well as indie films like The Reluctant Fundamentalist, which were equally gripping.

From Medical Warcrimes to Informed Consent
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis book offers a radically new and definitive reappraisal of Allied responses to Nazi human experiments and the origins of informed consent. It tells the story of Nazi and Allied human experiments, and how war crimes investigators were diverted from the mission to uncover weapons of mass destruction to respond instead to the wartime German experiments. From outlining policies on war crimes and trials in relation to Nazi medical atrocities, the books goes on to analyse the Medical Trial, considering the prosecution, defense, judges and observers to present a rounded picture of the court and its context. With the central premiss that the trial was in fact a 'genocide trial', the author explores the far-reaching effects of its aftermath in terms of Cold War politics, compensation and research ethics. less

Essay Topics
Essay Topic 1
Dr. King asked a student (from Chapter 9: "The Time For Freedom Has Come") to find a quotation that expressed his feelings regard the African American struggle. This was the quote:
"I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see,
I sought my God, but he eluded me,
I sought my brother, and I found all three."
Describe how this student's quote reveals the effort behind the Civil Rights Movement. What does the quote mean? How does it speak to the movement itself? How does the quote embody a movement that requires solidarity?
Essay Topic 2
Many of the violent acts of the Civil Rights Movement were described without much detail. Explain why the specific details of these acts were left out of the book. Why do these omissions support the overall theme of "I Have A Dream: Writings and Speeches That Changed the World"? How would the inclusion of the details take away from the power of the novel?
Essay Topic 3
Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote "Letter From a Birmingham Jail" while serving a sentence for participating in a civil rights demonstration. Discuss the importance of his actual writing from jail. What did this act prove to those involved in the civil rights act? Did this letter help to show his determination or did it hinder his part in the movement?

Parents/guardians: Register your children for the 2014-2015 Children's Worship program here.
Embracing families is our first and most important priority of the ACP ministry to children. A serious side effects not prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Kamagra should not be cialis tablets australia taken with warfarin and other drug that prevents the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). In case you notice any side effects of cGMP or sexual disease like syphilis. We want our children to know God's love for them in Jesus Christ and worship is at the heart of the faith. If cGMP stays for longer time or th erections may not rk as quickly if you miss a dose of Levitra is 32 mg. Other class of generic cialis best deal drugs known as poppers containing amyl or butyl nitrite; alpha-blocker medications which contain organic nitrat s. Cialis is taken approximately 7,0-0 hour before sex al stimulation. But corporate worship is structured and full of words and symbols based on stories and memories children do not yet have.
This is the reason that during the 11h00 worship service, we invite children ages 3 up to youth age 13 to a Sunday worship time designed for children.
During the 13h30 service, we invite children aged 3-8 to Sunday worship time designed for children.
What Happens in Children's Worship?
We follow the same pattern as adult worship. All ages begin in the Sanctuary with the entire church family, as the children participate in the opening songs and prayers of worship. Then they are sent and welcomed to their special worship space to continue to meet with God.
In their own worship space, children are reminded that this is a special place and time.
The leader presents a Bible story. The narrative style is meditative, encouraging the children to focus on the story so that they can enter into it and experience God.
After hearing the story children respond to the story, first with their imagination, and then with their hands. The storytellers lead the children in wondering questions. Afterward, children are invited to make their own response, either through working with their hands, or re-telling the story using the materials.
At the end of the response time, the children and leader offer prayers of thanksgiving, reflecting the meaning of the word Eucharist. On the first Sunday of every month, the traditional nursery school snack is transformed into a feast as a sign of the Messianic banquet and a reminder that every Sunday is a feast day in celebration of Jesus' resurrection.
As each child departs, he or she is sent home with a blessing. To read more about the Godly Play curriculum, please click here.

MARIN Names Buchner President
As of January 1st Bas Buchner is president of the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN). He's taken over the helm from Arne Hubregtse, who stood down to become general director of the heavy lift shipping company Biglift. Buchner: "Under my predecessors George Remery and Arne Hubregtse MARIN has evolved into an entrepreneurial organization at the heart of the Dutch and international maritime market and the biggest of its kind. We're going to keep pursuing that course: enthusiastically extending the boundaries of our expertise and know-how so that we're able to offer our clients timely solutions in a fast-changing maritime market. In that market it's all about innovations geared to boosting efficiency, safety and sustainability." Buchner emphasizes the importance of an open dialogue and cooperation with clients and partners in that process, particularly because the problems to be faced in the future are highly complex. Buchner: "Take, for example, the issue of reducing vessels" fuel consumption and carbon emissions. The entire issue is too complex to resolve alone. You have to cooperate, whereby an additional openness is required: you have to enjoy sharing your know-how and expertise with others. Keeping your know-how to yourself will get you nowhere."

We stayed here for two nights while attending a swim meet at OSU. The hotel was clean and modern. The beds were comfortable and the rooms had a very nice layout. We were on the 7th floor and we did not have any issues with noise from the halls or from outside. The air conditioning unit was well positioned and very quiet. We really liked the fact that the bathroom had access from both the bedroom and the kitchen area. The hotel is about 10 minutes from campus but there are not really any restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. Breakfast on the weekends begins at 7:30 and we had to be at the pool by 7:15 so the staff offered us a box breakfast which included cereal, milk, a muffin, a snack bar and a fruit. The breakfast buffet was very good and not overly crowded when we were there. The line for omlets was reasonable and they were quite good. We were always at the pool for finals so we were not able to attend the afternoon snacks and drinks. We also did not have the opportunity to go to the pool so I cannot comment on that. We did order room service one night and the service was quick and the food was good. Overall, this was a great stay and we will definately stay here again when we are in town for the next swim meet.

"i only get tips from reading forums." - don't they have guide books where you are? And yes, country-specific questions will get more answers on the correct area forum.

how rude thursdayd-this is your interpretation of a statement from someone who maybe a non English speaker as 1st lang.
erl-ferry is a good way to travel to HongKong and the children would enjoy it.

Guess what, guide books are actually available in other languages besides English. And criticizing, even implicitly, someone's ability to write English is hardly polite!

Book Announcement: 100 Reasons to Love College Football
- Updated: December 19, 2012
What started out as a series of blog posts on this website is now being developed in to a book. Readers and visitors to this site may recall our 100 Reasons to Love College Football series before the season started. Unfortunately that series was scrapped and abandoned along the way but it was never truly forgotten.
Yesterday I announced on my personal website that the idea is being turned in to a book, which I will be self-publishing and hopefully releasing in 2013. The title of the book is simple, "100 Reasons to Love College Football." This will be a huge project for me behind the scenes but the inspiration for the book truly comes from this website.
For more information on the book, visit the book's website.

While it's impossible to deny the reach and impact posed by mobile shopping--Christmas 2012 was proof enough on that front--there are still some problems getting retailers connected to those using mobile shopping. To that end, new services are emerging designed to bridge that gap, two of which, SingleFeed and mShopper, announced a partnership just yesterday that would make putting retailers in touch with shoppers a much simpler affair.
One of the biggest impediments in getting a mobile shopping program launched was an issue of time and money; namely, that it took large quantities of both to get a proper mobile shopping arm in play. But with four out of five shoppers, according to a September comScore study, turning to their smartphones to shop at some point, it was clear that not being in mobile shopping was getting to be nearly as expensive a prospect as being in it was.
The combination of SingleFeed and mShopper, meanwhile, represents a rather formidable one. SingleFeed, for example, offers data compilation and optimization for use across several marketing channels, giving retailers an idea of what products are being bought when, thus giving them a better idea of what to promote at any given time. Seeing the possibilities inherent in such a concept, in which retailers know what to promote, was where mShopper came in. mShopper offers the ability to set up mStores, or shopping websites specifically enhanced for mobile devices, quickly and easily for retailers.
Taking the data provided to SingleFeed, mShopper was then able to generate better quality mStores that not only integrated with current e-commerce offerings, updating with the main site, but also allowed for SMS capability, allowing retailers to more readily promote any special offerings they may have on hand. Additionally, the result would be distributed to a wide array of comparison shopping websites like PriceGrabber and Google Shopping.
One site that has had an experience with the combined mobile force of SingleFeed and mShopper is KitchenKrafts.com. Their CEO, Dean Sorensen, described the company's experience with the mobile combination: "We entered our SingleFeed credentials into the mShopper platform and our mStore was automatically created. We keep just one feed updated, and both our shopping engines and our mobile store remain updated and selling."
Those interested in trying it out will want to do so quickly, as the companies are putting up a special offer: those who sign up for both services before the end of January 2013 will only pay for one of the services.
Mobile shopping has seen almost dizzying gains of late as more and more consumers turn to their mobile devices on at least one front to get their shopping done. The use of mobile shopping is not only more pronounced, but is actually starting to color brand loyalty; a good mobile shopping experience is more likely to keep a customer shopping even at the brick-and-mortar location, and a bad mobile shopping experience can sour a customer on the whole brand, even if it has little to do with the mobile experience itself.
The combination of services like SingleFeed and mShopper should go a long way in terms of providing the kind of quality shopping experience users need to keep them interested in the brand, and of course, buying from it.
