About the Show
Parents Matt and Amy Roloff are both little people -- 4 feet tall -- but they are determined to succeed in a world that isn't always accepting of differences. Matt has risen through the ranks of the business world, closing deals with some of Silicon Valley's most well-known companies. After being laid off, Matt decided to pursue his dream of owning his own business. He is also the former president of Little People of America, an advocacy group for little people and issues affecting their lives.
Originally a stay-at-home mom but now holding down two jobs, Amy has raised four children: twins,Jeremy and Zach, Molly and Jacob.
Together they own and operate Roloff Farms, a sprawling 34-acre farm in Oregon.
The Roloffs' accomplishments belie a hard truth: for little people, every day is a challenge. Driving a car, seeing over the counter at a bank or even making a simple trip to the grocery store can quickly become a test in a world that wasn't made for them.
In Little People, Big World, viewers look into the lives of the Roloffs as they face the pressure of being little in an average-sized world and the financial burdens of operating Roloff Farms.

US was notified of NKorea nuke testsComment on this story
Washington - North Korea advised the U.S. State Department of its intention to test a nuclear device prior to Tuesday's underground explosion, but did not say when it would conduct the test, department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
"The DPRK did inform us at the State Department of their intention to conduct a nuclear test, without citing any specific timing," she told reporters, using North Korea's formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Nuland said the notice came through "usual channels" but declined to say when Washington received the notification. - Reuters)

How to create a subdomain?
I just upgrade to ISPConfig 3.0.5. Work is fantastic, but I was waiting for this release because of the new subdomain-style, with a directory within main folder, not like older release, where a subdomain was a "ServerAlias".
I think something I'm doing wrong, because the behavior is the same than the older one, and I'm not get a new folder, just a "ServerAlias" in domain config.
The steps I follow are: Sites->Subdomains, I choose "No redirect" (I try with all options) and "Save", but I don't get the expected behaviour.
Can somebody help me, please?
PD: sorry for my english if some expresions are not correct...
You need to enable this feature under System > Interface > Main Config on the Sites tab (Create Subdomains as web site). Afterwards, there is a new menu entry "Subdomain (Vhost)" under Sites.
This is all described in the manual, btw. ;)
Thank you very much, Falko. I want to thank you again for your hard and excellent work.

City buildings still for saleStaff Report | February 13,2013The Dana and Watkins buildings are still on the market.
Tuesday night, the Rutland City School Board extended the purchase-and-sale agreement for the Watkins Building to Aug. 31. The district signed an agreement to sell the building for $100,000 to the Housing Trust of Rutland County, with a closing date of Dec. 1.
In November, the Housing Trust received a zoning variance to create 14 senior living apartments, three shy of the 17 units requested.
The board also voted to extend the listing for the Dana Building to April 30. Board member Hurley Cavacas, Jr., who serves on the Building Committee, said there might be a buyer for the property.MORE IN This Just InFive New England states have agreed on a common method to compare education data from one state...

I wonder whether there is any correlation to exercise and appetite. I�m finding in my case, since I�m increased my physical activity, I don�t seem to be nearly as hungry and don�t have the cravings for snacks (or junk food). Is there any scientific basis to what I�m experiencing?
I have talked to others who unofficially state the same types of findings. So, maybe for those of you who much on things when you don�t desire to, try beefing up your exercise plan. I has worked for me.
I sure would love to know whether anyone knows of any sourcing to support my findings. If you know of any, please reply here.
If you are on a health and fitness program, there is likely to be a day when you slip up and don�t meet your daily goals. Those times have the potential to sabotage the gains you have made. Don�t allow those times to discourage you and stop you from being focused. It isn�t a big deal if you went out drinking with your buddies and had a couple Margaritas, consuming 2000 (or more) extra empty calories. So what if while at dinner, you couldn�t resist the temptation to have a slice of that cake being served for dessert and took in another extra 650 calories and 45 grams of fat.
Today is a new day. That one moment of lost discretion and judgment won�t stop the progress you have made. Don�t allow the guilt you feel cause you to continue with bad habits. Take time to review your fitness and nutrition goals and put them into action again.
You only had one day of setbacks. If you begin again today, what happened yesterday doesn�t at all matter!
"The things that are hard to bear, are sweet to remember."
Sometimes, it�s those tough things in life that ring the loudest in our minds. The pain and adversity we endure can be worse if we dwell upon them. We let the setbacks keep us from working assiduously toward our goals.
While those barriers can be enormous learning tools and can teach us a lot about the strategies we employ, we need not let them hold us back. As it�s been said, �keep your eyes on the prize� and through this affirmation, we will be more successful.
Smiling is an effortless gesture that is free. Some people believe it's difficult to smile if there is pain. "If you're unhappy," they proclaim, "how are you supposed to smile."
I say, in the midst of your agony, smile anyhow. Relish at the joy that you will enjoy in the future. If you smile now, the joy will come later. You're never fully dressed without a smile, so smile on today so that you will be happy tomorrow.
I have heard it said that it takes 20 years to achieve success. There is no such thing as an overnight success. While you may look up one day and suddenly realize that this person over here of that person over there is a big sensation. Believe me, it didn't happen over night, even if it appears that it may have.
When I say that it takes 20 years to achieve success, "20" is an arbitrary number. The point being that success begins with a seed that is nursed and watered for many years. We do not always see the hard work that it takes to become successful. But the fruits of that hard work are manifested years later when you suddenly look at your achievement and can say, "job well done."
Nothing is more true of this than your fitness and nutrition goals. If you have a 42 waist and your goal is to get down to 32, don't expect it to happen suddenly. Have patience and determination. In time, you'll see that your hard work wasn't for nothing.

Bill to raise speed limit from 65 to 70 on portion of I-93 headed to governor
An exception would be through the Franconia Notch area, where the speed limit would remain at 55 miles per hour.
Hassan spokesman Marc Goldberg said she "appreciates the hard work that the Legislature put into this measure, and she will review it closely."
Sen. David Boutin, R-Hooksett, said that since virtually all of the portion of the highway that would be subject to the higher speed limit is in a rural area, "It is not believed to have a major impact on the flow of traffic.
"We need to be where the people are," said North Country Sen. Jeff Woodburn, D-Dalton. "We need to drive where the traffic is going. We need to do what the people want."
He noted that a most drivers on the interstate are driving at least 70 miles per hour, saying, "The law lives in the hearts of the people, not in the signs on the side of the road."
Besides, said Woodburn, "We need to get people to the North Country faster."
The bill passed the House on a vote of 292-65 on March 13.

Don't like the way Rihanna has handled the drama in her personal life? Maybe the fictionalized TV version will be more satisfying! Or not.
The Feb. 27 episode of Law & Order: SVU (NBC, Wednesdays, 9 p.m. ET) -- which portrays a pop star in an abusive relationship with a hip-hop star -- is clearly inspired by the real-life domestic abuse that Rihanna suffered at the hands of her boyfriend, Chris Brown.
The actual Rihanna, of course, is back with Brown despite his 2009 assault on her (and a continuing penchant for violence in general). The pop star at the center of the SVU episode also stands by her man (who's named Caleb), even after photos of her bruised and swollen face (like Rihanna's) were released to the public.
"Caleb has a hold on her," says Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) in the preview. "Going against him feels impossible."
It's as if the show's producers are trying to offer an explanation for Rihanna's baffling decision to return to the relationship. After all, four years since beating her up, Brown still doesn't appear to have curbed his penchant for violence. In 2011, he lost his temper and smashed a window at the Good Morning America studios. And last month, he was allegedly involved in a parking lot altercation with Frank Ocean. But not only is Rihanna dating Brown again, she just celebrated her birthday with him in Hawaii and continues to post intimate photos of the pair on Instagram.
"When you add up the pieces from the outside, it's not the cutest puzzle in the world," Rihanna told Rolling Stone. "You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it's different now. We don't have those types of arguments anymore."
Still, it's been hard for the public to forgive and forget. "As a responsible public rubbernecking into their lives, we feel for her," relationship expert Gilda Carle, Ph. D. recently told The Huffington Post. "We feel that if she pushes his buttons again, he has not gotten the necessary wherewithal to channel his anger in a productive way. We don't want to see a repeat of what we saw before."
In the SVU episode, the singer's determination to stay in the relationship turns out to be a mistake. But ironically [SPOILER ALERT!] it's Caleb who ends up dead. (Hey, a ratings-hungry TV show isn't going to pass up a chance at a surprise twist!)
Back in real life, we're forced to look on as Rihanna continues down the road she's chosen. "I decided it was more important for me to be happy," she told Rolling Stone about her decision to take up with Brown again, despite fans' lingering suspicions about him. "I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake ... i'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."
We sure hope so.

A couple of quick Buffalo Bills notes on this Thursday afternoon. First, the team announced the official visits of four prospects; quarterback Geno Smith, safety Kenny Vaccaro, wide receiver Ryan Swope and linebacker Kevin Minter.
Of course, the big name on campus is Smith, who many feel will be the first quarterback off the board on April 25 and could be gone by the time Oakland selects with the third pick. Minter and Vaccaro are regarded by most as mid to late first round prospects while Swope is expected to be drafted somewhere between the third and fourth rounds.
This is the third time the Bills have seen Smith. They attended his West Virginia Pro Day and also had a private workout with him.
It's also worth noting that ESPN's Mel Kiper has released his latest mock draft. In related news, I think Mel Kiper may have officially lost his mind. In Kiper's mock he has the Bills selecting North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper with the eighth overall pick.
I think talk of taking any guard that high is silly for Buffalo. That especially holds true when the current depth chart consists of Brad Smith as your second receiver, Leodis McKelvin as your second cornerback and either Kevin Kolb or Tarvaris Jackson starting at quarterback. What the heck, Mel…. If you're going to guard at least give the Bills Chance Warmack, who he has going to Tennessee two picks later.
I don't know which direction the Bills are going in when the draft finally rolls around, but I'm pretty confident Andy Levitre's departure isn't going to be addressed with the eighth overall pick. These final few weeks is when draft speculation hits overdrive, which makes the anticipation for April 25 nearly unbearable.

Hellcats Review: "The Match Game"by Courtney Morrison at . Comments
A big theme of "The Match Game" was admitting what you are scared of.
For Savannah, it's the unknown, such as her relationship with Dan. Marti is scared of love, although we really have no idea why she is the way she is. This topic provided a great moment between the girls, who once again proved to be the foundation of the show.
Savannah's mom popped back up again and she was much more tolerable this time around. Although sending Savannah's ex to do her dirty work was a little wrong, it just showed she wants the best for her daughter.
This episode marked another instance where we got to see some interaction between our characters and their families. Although it is interesting to get some back story, we don't need to see it every week. This show is about the Hellcats and that's who it should focus on.I expected Vanessa's anonymous bidder to be Red, which definitely would have been more fun. The quick banter and tension between these two makes for more interesting television than the sweet and romantic scenes with Derrick. This love triangle is dying off and needs some excitement - quickly.
Finally, some real movement on the Marti/Lewis front. Their sneaking around was awesome, but didn't last for very long. Big step up for Marti to admit to everyone they are dating. Hopefully this relationship goes a couple episodes before any major drama goes down, although the previews for next week do not look too promising.
Overall, "The Match Game" was a pretty solid episode. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any cheerleading, but the dancing at the date auction was hot enough to hold me over until next week.
What did you think? Are Marti and Lewis going to make it or will someone get in the way? Is Savannah making the right choice staying with Dan?
Definitely a solid episode. I like how they delved deeper into Savannah's relationship with her mother and also how they showcased the "stable" relationship in the series ( I mean the Derrik and Vanessa). The triangle is between Derrik, Vanessa and Red is beginning to remind me of the Jonah/Riley/Ella triangle which everyone expected but never really got juicy enough to hold anyone's attention. The Marti/Lewis relationship might get sticky because of Lewis' ex. Real potential for more bonding between Marti and Savannah and rivalry and drama within the Hellcats.
Noah looked like a puppet, kinda scared me a little. LOVE Dan and Savannah though
Well I wants savannah to be with her bf not Noah
I thought Noah was sweet, you could see that he really liked Savannah, you could see it in his eyes.

The regulation and function of sleep
Key Words: sleep, ecdysis, molting, behavior, amyloid, neuropeptides
Description of Research
Quiescent behavioral states are universal to the animal world with the most famous and mysterious of these being sleep. Despite the fact that we spend one third of our life sleeping, and despite the fact that all animals sleep, the core function of sleep remains a mystery. In addition, the molecular basis underlying sleep/wake regulation is poorly understood.
We use C. elegans as a model system to address these questions. C. elegans offers many experimental advantages including powerful genetic tools as well as a simple neuroanatomy.
Growth of C. elegans from an embryo to an adult is punctuated by four molts, during which the animal secretes a new cuticle and sheds its old one. Prior to each molt the worm has a quiescent behavioral state called lethargus. Lethargus has several similarities to sleep including rapid reversibility to strong stimulation, increased sensory arousal threshold, and homeostatic regulation.
In addition to larval sleep, C. elegans also sleeps during the adult stage, after exposure to an environment that induces cellular stress.
Molecular genetic similarity between C. elegans sleep and sleep in other animals is demonstrated by the identification of signaling pathways that regulate C. elegans sleep in the similar fashion to their regulation of sleep in mammals and arthropods. We have identified new sleep regulators in C. elegans and are currently studying how and in which cells these regulators function.
By studying the purpose and genetic regulation of nematode sleep, we hope to identify additional novel sleep regulators, and to gain insight into why sleep had evolved, a central biological mystery.

The winger has appeared in all 40 of the Clarets' Championship fixtures this season, starting all but one.
Despite being a virtual ever present in the side he has just one goal to his name so far, although that was a stunning winner in a 1-0 victory against Charlton at the beginning of March.
He arrived at Turf Moor on a free transfer from Bournemouth in the summer of 2005 and has been a key part of the Lancashire side's setup ever since.
Currently Burnley's Player of the Year, his new deal ensures that he will remain with the club until at least 2011.

American Flex
Caliente, 7 panel system, S-D-SG-SD-16 - UPDATE
Trail Saddles
For Sale on eBay
Manufacturer: American Flex
Model: Caliente, 7 panel system, S-D-SG-SD-16 - UPDATE
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: This is an update on my American-Flex saddle. After an initial 'honeymoon' period I'm sorry to say that I have had rubbing and pressure problems with this saddle. I thought I had finally found a saddle that would fit my two horses and be comfortable for me. I sure hoped I had since it cost around $2600. When I first discovered the problem on my horse's back I tried using different pads and even purchased an Impact Gel---but that didn't help much either. I'm having this saddle sent back to a saddle maker and put on a regular tree. The flexible panel system just isn't working out for me.
Likes: I still like how the saddle looks.
Dislikes: See above: rubs the horse. White spots developed. Also there is a lot of movement because of the panel system. It feels sort of like riding in a boat on any horse that is a big mover. The saddle was relatively comfortable on my quieter moving QH but was like riding the high seas on my bigger moving Arab.
Quality: The saddle as a whole was well made--except for the really chintzy saddle strings.
Summary: I would not buy this saddle again. I'm sure there are some horses who have done well with it--but not either of mine. Once we started putting more miles on, the problems developed.

Truncus arteriosus
Truncus arteriosus is a rare type of heart disease that occurs at birth (congenital heart disease), in which a single blood vessel (truncus arteriosus) comes out of the right and left ventricles, instead of the normal two vessels (pulmonary artery and aorta).
There are different types of truncus arteriosus.
Alternative Names
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
In normal circulation, the pulmonary artery comes out of the right ventricle and the aorta comes out of the left ventricle, which are separate from each other. Coronary arteries (which supply blood to the heart muscle) come out of the aorta just above the valve at the entrance of the aorta.
In truncus arteriosus, a single artery comes out of the ventricles. There is usually also a large hole between the two ventricles (ventricular septal defect). As a result, the blue (without oxygen) and red (oxygen-rich) blood mix.
Some of this mixed blood goes to the lungs, some goes to the coronary arteries, and the rest goes to the body. Usually, too much blood is sent to the lungs.
If this condition is not treated, two problems occur:
Signs and tests
A murmur is usually heard when listening to the heart with a stethoscope.
Tests include:
Surgery is needed to treat this condition. The surgery creates two separate arteries.
Usually the truncal vessel is kept as the new aorta. A new pulmonary artery is created using tissue from another source. The branch pulmonary arteries are sewn to this new artery. The hole between the ventricles is closed.
Expectations (prognosis)
Complete repair usually provides good results. Another procedure may be needed as the patient grows. Untreated cases result in death, often during the first year of life.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if your infant or child:
If the skin, lips, or nail beds look blue or if the child seems to be very short of breath, take the child to the emergency room or have the child examined promptly.
There is no known prevention, but early treatment can often prevent serious complications.

Craig Gardner's wonderful strike proved the difference between the sides as Sunderland edged out Southampton 1-0 to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Gardner broke the deadlock four minutes into the second half when he unleashed a ferocious shot from 25 yards which crashed in off the underside of the bar.
Rickie Lambert squandered a glorious chance to equalise when he was presented with an open goal from Nathaniel Clyne's low cross but somehow shot over from close range.
Southampton were otherwise disappointing in their efforts to draw level, as an eight-match unbeaten run came to an end and Sunderland kept their hopes of a cup double alive.
Both managers rotated their squads for the match, with Mauricio Pochettino making six changes and Gus Poyet nine, as Argentine striker Ignacio Scocco was handed a Sunderland debut.
Sunderland had Lee Cattermole making his 100th start for the club, and he proved impressive in the holding midfield role, while Emanuele Giaccherini and Fabio Borini caused problems out wide.
The hosts took the game to the visitors for long periods, but created few chances of any note.
They were appealing in vain for a penalty after Luke Shaw and Borini collided just inside the box with 12 minutes gone, but referee Mike Dean waved play on, much to the annoyance of the locals.
Giaccherini threatened to make the most of Clyne's 21st-minute slip as he carved his way into the penalty area, but he and team-mate Gardner collided as both shaped to shoot and the chance went begging.
Borini was aggrieved to be given offside, and with some justification, after being played in over the top by central defender Santiago Vergini.
Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis was delighted to see the flag go up as the Italian's shot squirmed through his defences.
Southampton gradually worked their way into the game as Adam Lallana started to make his presence felt, and he was the source of their only real chance when he floated a cross to Lambert, who headed down for the on-rushing James Ward-Prowse.
However, the midfielder scuffed his effort into the ground and goalkeeper Oscar Ustari was able to save comfortably.
But the game finally came to life four minutes after the restart when Gardner capitalised on dithering among the Southampton defenders to lash an unstoppable shot past helpless former Sunderland goalkeeper Davis and in off the underside of the crossbar.
Southampton's response was limp to say the least, with the game deteriorating into an untidy midfield scramble, although Steven Davis did whistle a right-footed shot from long distance past Ustari's left post with 58 minutes gone.
Pochettino made his move with 28 minutes remaining when he replaced Ward-Prowse and Guly Do Prado with Morgan Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriguez, with his side finally showing signs of life.
Schneiderlin in particular made a difference as the visitors started to compete in the middle of the park.
Sunderland might have increased their lead with Sebastian Larsson firing straight at goalkeeper Davis with 15 minutes remaining, while Lallana passed up a gilt-edged chance to level four minutes later when he failed to convert Clyne's inviting near-post cross.
Lambert really should have equalised eight minutes from time when Clyne picked him out in front of goal, but the striker contrived to lift the ball over the bar from just three yards.
Substitute Connor Wickham and Borini both went close in a tense conclusion, but Gardner's contribution was ultimately enough.

hmmm, didn't know that. So if a 1911 doesn't have a firing pin safety, would it still have a captive half-cock then? Did they do away with the half cock when firing pin safeties became popular?also dont forget most new 1911s dont have a half cock anymore or captive half cock i should say
Also, the 1911 has three safties, more than any revolver. The backstrap safety, the thumb safety, and the operation of the two. If you handle your 1911 like a professional, it's just as safe as a glock, xd, revolver, muzzle loader, or a 40 watt range plasma rifle. You keep one in the camber to make the gun work properly. Also, you keep one in the camber so you can use the gun for something other than a threatening pointing device.
Sorry, I'm really cynical at the moment. This isn't directed at anyone.
"Going off half cocked" both people and guns. Cocked and locked, the only way to safely carry unless you want a paper weight.
To minimize the possibility of fumbling to put my 1911's thumb safety into the "Fire" selection, each and every time I lower my cocked 1911, I place ths safety "on" and as I raise it I place the safety to "Fire." Developing Muscle and technique Memory.

Why yes I do...
Isn't that very dangerous?
Why, yes it is!...
I wouldn't carry it, if it wasn't!
Stay safe!

Actually, whatever style hammer you install on your 1911 will determine if it has a captive half cock notch or not.
With a Captive Half Cock the trigger cannot be pulled while the hammer is at half~cock.
A non captive half~cock notch locates the hammer face closer to the firing pin.
The trigger CAN be pulled with sear caught by a non~captive half~cock but there is not enough energy transfer from the hammer to the floating firing pin to detonate a chambered round. The hammer basically just lowers itself onto the firing pin.
When the thumb safety is ON the hammer is physically blocked from moving forward.
When the grip safety is not depressed the trigger is physically blocked from moving rearward.
It is (of course) very possible to safely lower the hammer down to the half-cock notch but, I see no real reason to do it.
In order for the 1911 to fire with a blow to rear of the hammer you would actually have to hit the hammer hard enough to fracture/shatter the sear.
That is not a very easy thing to do.
On a Series 80 the firing pin is always blocked unless the trigger is pulled.
The act of moving the trigger rearward is what "levers up" the firing pin block.
So even if the thumb safety was in the Off position - if the pistol was dropped and hit concrete hard enough to shatter the sear (or the hammer notch) then the firing pin would still be physically blocked from moving forward when struck by the hammer.
In Short: The 1911 is an incredibly SAFE pistol design though it looks unsafe at Cocked And Locked.
It should be noted that the above applies to a standard factory set pistol.
Over lightening the trigger pull by altering the hammer notch depths and other various custom alterations can possibly affect the overall safety of the pistol.

I carry a Browning Hi-Power but still the same answer: It's designed to be carried that way, Condition One is the only rational way to carry a Single Action Auto for duty or CCW use.
As for the half cock, I use the one on my BHP as follows for ready storage (i.e. not carrying, but not fully secured): empty chamber, half cock, safety on, full magazine. The half cock is required to engage the safety, in this condition I can drop the safety and rack the slide to get into operation quickly, but some one unfamiliar with it would probably take awhile,

For the squeamish that can't stand the idea of "cocked and locked" there is also the option of installing the Cylinder and Slide S.F.S. (Safety Fast Shooting System). You chamber a round, put the thumb safety into "Safe", then manually push the hammer down. When you need to fire, just thumb the safety "off" and the hammer springs back into the cocked position. You are still carrying a "cocked and locked" pistol but it just doesn't look like it. It just requires that you remember to push the hammer down after putting the gun into "Safe", firing is just like a normal 1911. It doesn't affect the trigger at all.
I don't have any 1911s that have it installed, but I have fired a couple and, with the exception of the extra step, they operate normally.
Just an option for the faint at heart. Some BHPs come (or came) from the factory with the S.F.S. installed.

But why bother with that at all? I don't want any manual safety getting in the way, and if I'm going to have the manual safety, I want something for it like the first shot being a single action shot.

Ollie: We need to be at our best
Video: UConn coach meets the media

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Shabazz Napier has a chance to escape Kemba Walker's shadow. Connecticut's do-everything guard won a national championship as a freshman playing under the tutelage of Walker.
Three years later, Napier has the Huskies two wins away from another championship after leading them in scoring, rebounds, assists, steals and big shots.
UConn faces Florida, the NCAA tournament's top overall seed in the national semifinals Saturday night.
Get past the Gators, the Huskies will face Kentucky or Wisconsin for a chance at the program's fourth national title — one Walker says will surpass the one he led the Huskies to in 2011.

Peer-to-Peer Car Rental 'FlightCar' is Now Driving Through LAX
Those looking to head out of town have a new option when it comes to the long-term parking lot, as FlightCar has recently started up shop over at Los Angeles International Airport. In case you don't remember the deal with FlightCar—basically you rent out your car to others instead of just leaving the car in the parking lot. Someone gets the wheels they need, you don't have to pay for parking, and you even make a little money on the deal.
The peer-to-peer car sharing system hasn't really gone gangbusters as of yet, but the head honcho at FlightCar—he's 19 years old—reports that the company has roughly 3,700 listings for the not really rental cars. We guess we would be a little concerned letting someone else take our wheels out for a spin, but at the same time the insurance, the liability, and other guarantees do provide some kind of warm and fuzzy feeling. Overall we think the idea is kind of awesome, and yet again we're jealous that we didn't think of this first.

Silvercar is Bringing Its Audi A4s To LAX Next Month
It's been a bit of time since we first found out about Silvercar and its plan to take the rental car industry by storm with one car option—the silver Audi A4s. We guess things have been going pretty, as the company has expanded since starting things out of Dallas-Ft. Worth. Following its arrival on the scene, Silvercar has starting doing its thing in Austin, Houston, and Dallas-Love Field, and towards the end of the summer it finally made its way out west—to San Francisco.
Up next is another California destination, as the plan is to start offering up vehicles in Los Angeles at LAX on November 4. Reservations are already available, so if you're hitting the area for business or pleasure you might want to give them a try.
Again the way it works with Silvercar is that you'll download the app beforehand, as that's what you need to pretty much to do the rental car thing. From your mobile device you can book your car, change your reservation, and pick up your very own silver Audi A4. That's right—you open the doors to the car and climb inside after unlocking it with your phone. Even better is that lots of stuff is included with your rental car like turn-by-turn directions, WiFi right from the vehicle, and satellite radio.

Tips from a Former Enterprise Employee on Upgrading Your Rental Car
That's right. Before his travel writing days, this Jaunted contributor was kinda/sorta/not really in the travel industry as a management trainee with Enterprise Rent-a-Car at a California airport. He learned that he hated wearing a shirt and tie to work, but also picked up tips on how to save a buck on a rental:
Enterprise employees may walk and talk like they're your friend, but they're really just trying to butter you up so you'll dig deeper into your pockets. One of the best kept secrets in the rental industry revolves around taking advantage of this aggressive approach.
When I was at Enterprise, one of my regular sales goals was centered around getting the customer to spend more money than their reservation intended. This was accomplished by selling insurance, pre-paid fuel, or through upgrades at the counter. Even if it was just a little more money, like a dollar or two, it was to my benefit to upgrade customers in order to increase my numbers so long as we had the cars available.
Because of this, one of the best things a customer looking for a deal can do for themselves is book an economy car and upgrade at the counter. This is a tried and true approach, one you should definitely utilize if you have a reasonable amount of flexibility. Because this trick is dependent upon availability, you shouldn't do this if you have to have a certain type of vehicle -- it all depends on what they have on the lot.

Our Favorite Sunshine State is the One Down Under
Here at home we've always just assumed that there's one and only Sunshine State—Florida. A quick Wikipedia search reveals that the nickname has also been used for New Mexico, California, and South Dakota, but we just guess those locations aren't as good as marketing the fun and the sun.
Well upon our arrival down under we quickly learned there's another Sunshine State, and now it's definitely our favorite—Queensland. We're hardly experts on the region, as we pretty much limited our exploration to Far North Queensland and spots in and around Cairns. However, with the Great Barrier Reef just off shore and more national parks than one knows what to do with we can only assume the rest of the area only adds to the state's awesomeness.

Heading Down Highway 1? Test Drive the Tesla Model S from San Fran to L.A.
While they're not exactly an exotic or sports car, we certainly wouldn't mind testing out the newest and trendiest rental car, the electrically-powered Tesla Model S, with a
couple donuts quick cruise down the coast to see just how good the gas mileage is.
Advertised as approaching 100 miles-per-gallon, the electric hybrid is now available via Hertz at two airports over in California, as both Los Angeles and San Francisco will be adding these rechargeable vehicles to the rental car lot. Road trip, anyone?

National Rental Car's OneTwoFree Will Keep You Driving All Season Long
It's our favorite time of the year when it comes to rental cars, as the rent one get one option comes back for the fall. National Car Rental is usually the leader when it comes to this type of promotion, and this year is no exception.
Car rental junkies and business travelers can score a free rental day after completing two qualifying rentals—two or more days in a mid-sized car counts as one rental. They're calling the promotion OneTwoFree, and it's a great way to add some freebies to your travel wallet. Things started up on September 9, and the promotion is scheduled to run through the end of January. That's means that you have more than enough time to score some free rental days.

Why Orlando Theme Parks Are About to See an Influx of Electric Cars
At this point there's more than a few rental car companies offering up electric cars to get you and your crew from here to there, but now there's an entire city that's going all in with the electric movement. The theme capital of the world—AKA the greater Orlando area—is looking to link visitors with some of these voltage vehicles, and they just announced a whole new program to do so.
Drive Electric Orlando is a friendship between the area's rental car companies and the city, as both look to make utilizing an electric vehicle just another slice of vacation fun. Those who choose to skip the pumps will enjoy all kinds of perks like free valet parking at the hotel, preferred parking in the area, and plenty of places to conveniently charge your car—even at the theme parks.

Firefly Car Rental Crosses the Atlantic with $9.99 Deals
Next time you're looking at rental car rates, add another company to the list, as it looks like Hertz is bringing its budget brand stateside. Firefly Car Rental is now available in the nifty fifty, and is already busy on an expansion plan.
The very first outpost was down in Orlando, but it looks like Firefly is already keen to take on large cities around the US. Reservations are now open to one and all in Ft. Lauderdale, as well as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, and more. Weekend rates are as low as $9.99 per day in Orlando through much of October, as we can only assume they're eager to introduce the brand and get butts into driver's seats.

'Road Trip By Hertz' is the Hottest Thing in Rental Car Counters
Much of the new stuff we see in the rental car market has to do with new ways to rent cars, share cars, and borrow cars; however, the latest news from Hertz is taking the traditional rental car model to the next level. For once what they're doing has nothing to do with the rental car, but it's more about the whole process.
Over in California they just announced a new look to their rental car counter, as they have just unveiled what they're calling Road Trip by Hertz over at San Diego Airport. In some ways they have brought the idea of an airline lounge—or business center—to the rental car office, as they have kind of reimagined the way things should work and flow.

Pick Your Car Right from Your Phone with a New Rental App
One of our favorite things about National Rental Car is that you can pick your own car right off the aisle. Sure there are some limitations to what you can choose and when you can pick it, but for the most part it's a pretty generous feature. Assuming you join their Emerald Club and book a midsize car, you are then allowed to select anything from the Emerald Aisle. If you're lucky there are usually a few upgrades sitting right there and are yours for the taking—if you like the red one, take the red one.
Now things have gotten a little bit better, as National Rental Car has recently released a brand new mobile phone app. Available in both iOS and Android flavors, the new app brings a lot of what you'd expect. Make reservations, manage bookings, use discounts, find coupons, and that kind of thing is all available with the latest version of their mobile software.

Driving on the Other Side of the Road: Five Tips for Doing It Right
Although we love public transportation as much as the next person, there are times when the rental car is a travel necessity. Things get a little bit more complicated when the rules of the road are flipped, and you find yourself navigating the other of the road. Here's a few tips to help you take the high road:
· Get a co-pilot:
To be clear, our other side of the road is driving on the left rather than the right, so we found it pretty darn helpful to have someone along for the ride. This person reminds you where to turn, which lane to use, and to elbow you when you're hugging the left side of the road way too much. Here, a backseat driver can be more of a lifesaver than an annoyance, because a reminder to stay on the correct side is certainly welcome. After all, two heads are better than one, right?

Has Jalopnik Discovered the World's Most Expensive Rental Car?
We've seen our share of expensive rental cars, yet unfortunately we're never the ones behind the wheel of anything zippier than a Sentra. Recent offerings from Hertz have been pretty intriguing, but deep down we know we're limited to the compact—or maybe an intermediate—level of rental car for the time being.
That's not the case over at Jalopnik where the car-focused site is doing their best to try and determine the world's most expensive rental car. Over there a quick search yielded a solid option from Gotham Dream Cars, as they have a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe for just shy of $5,000 per day. We'll assume that's before you prepay for the gas, and add a bunch of those extra insurance charges and damage waivers—ha.
