What's the magic formula for defining your consumers' experience with your brands?
The growth and influence of social media continues to impact nearly every brand and vertical market as consumers increasingly turn to fellow consumers to inform purchases rather than the brands themselves. One of the most powerful examples of this is the growth and influence of ratings and reviews communities across the travel, retail, and entertainment industries. In fact, a recent 2011 study by Forrester Research conducted in the travel industry found that nearly 50 percent of consumers won't book a hotel if it doesn't have an online review. Additionally, PhoCusWright research found individuals who read online travel reviews were 59 percent more likely to book, further highlighting the enormous power of user review communities in the purchase process. As a result, leading brands in the travel space, and hotels in particular, are doing a dramatic about-face, which is the subject of a fascinating article in the June 2012 issue of Travel + Leisure. What was once an adversarial relationship is no longer. Instead of issuing a flurry of lawsuits against online review sites for publishing false or misleading reviews, hotels are either launching programs of their own or just simply joining forces with sites like TripAdvisor.
Specifically, mega brands like Starwood, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, IHG, and others are embracing reviews to various degrees via their own websites and loyalty programs. While TripAdvisor remains the 800-pound gorilla with more than 60 million reviews and opinions, individual hotel brands have some unique assets and opportunities of their own and, if leveraged correctly, could be instrumental in the way they define a consumer's experience with their brands. So what's the magic formula?
It's a brave new world and the scenario laid out above is not only possible, but actually in practice today among a small percentage of innovative brands. The trick for many of these brands has been the ability to carefully apply "the magical" aspects of today's data and technology while avoiding the "creepy" factor. For those brands in testing mode, success is tied to being transparent and appropriate. This includes providing appropriate notice, choice, and access to the data they have and collect about an individual so that in the end the consumer remains in control - and that is exactly the way it should be.

SALT LAKE CITY — There was simply no stopping the dynamic, dazzling performance by D.J. Nelson and Logan High's overpowering offense.
Nelson, the Grizzlies' spunky senior quarterback who's somewhat small in stature but absolutely huge on athletic ability, amassed an amazing state-record total of 606 yards of offense and accounted for seven touchdowns in all as the Grizzlies mauled Bountiful 59-30 in Thursday's 4A football semifinal matchup at the University of Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium.
"I'm going to be real excited to watch that film," said Logan High head coach Mike Favero. "Obviously when you score 59 your QB played well, but to hear that he had 606 yards is almost unbelievable.
"We screwed up a few times. Believe it or not, we strive for perfection. That's not to say I'm not happy about what we did, but we really do want to be perfect. And when you set the bar that high and practice that way every day, you really want to be perfect. So we're certainly pleased with the outcome but we still have room for improvement.
"Coach (Larry) Wall and Bountiful are a proud program; he's as good a coach as the state of Utah has ever seen," Favero said, "so as we led up to this game, people acted like you've already killed 'em once (56-31 back on Sept. 2). But you know Larry Wall will have his team ready, and it showed. They had a great game plan and came out played very physical and precise early on, and we were able to hang on. These games down here, you don't worry about how many you win by. If you win you advance, and if you don't you go home. We played well enough to win."
Nelson had more than a little bit to do with that. After all, he threw for 417 yards and five touchdowns and ran for another 189 yards and two more TDs to propel Logan into next week's 4A state championship game against the winner of Thursday's other game between East and Timpview.
And he seemed much more interested in talking about reaching the 4A title game than he did about his eye-popping individual performance.
"It's the first time we've been back (in the state finals) in awhile and it means a lot to us, because we grew up watching them," Nelson said. "When I was in little league, I think I watched the finals game three times, so that means a lot to be on the same level as those guys who have come before us, and playing in the same program that they did means a lot to us.
"The last three games, our defense has played better than our offense. They're the ones that have got us here, and it's about time our offense helped 'em out and gave 'em a break. That's what we did today. Our defense is a nasty, nasty group of 11 guys. They're mean, they hit you hard, and it's terrible going against them in practice — terrible."
The Grizzlies certainly spread around their aerial attack, as five different receivers hauled in touchdown passes. John Schmidt led the way with seven catches for 110 yards and a touchdown, and Hagen Andersen added five receptions for 98 yards and a score of his own. Jake Thompson contributed five catches for 77 yards and another TD, and Jameson Hartman and Johnny Luke each had one catch that was good for a Logan touchdown.
Schmidt also scored a touchdown on the ground for the Grizzlies, who ran their perfect record to an impressive 13-0.
"It's huge to be able to play for the state championship and have the crowd that we had and have everybody here cheering us on," Schmidt said. "It's a lot of fun to come out onto the field and hear 'em and make 'em happy, and make us happy.
"Of course, we want our defense to do good; it only helps us if they do good. But it's nice to know that if they (the Grizzlies' opponents) do go down and score that we can just go down and get those points back. It's really nice to have that assurity that we feel like we can do it."

Why Watching Isn't Enjoying
What greeted me when I went to Netflix just now:
New Release For You!
Because you enjoyed:
- Idiocracy
- Swimming with Sharks
We think you'll enjoy:
- Visioneers
I hate this kind of thing. I watched "Idiocracy" but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it. In fact I was horribly disappointed by it. And while I re-watched "Swimming with Sharks" for this article, that doesn't mean I liked it any more than when I saw it in a theater in '95. Which is to say: Not much.
Hollywood makes this kind of mistake all the time. See, for example, this year's backlash against "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which, yes, many people watched.

What's Cooking?'s Note:
These are my favorite pancakes. I used Meyer lemons from my uncle's tree to prepare these - If you have access to this sweet, juicy variety I recommend using them. If not, a regular lemon will certainly do. I prefer them with real eggs and rice milk, but you can use egg replacer and any type of milk replacement. Try raspberry jam on them instead of syrup... it works wonderfully with the flavor and texture of the pancakes. If you use a pancake mix besides Pamela's, be sure to use the right ration of liquid that it calls for.
My Private Note

A Successful Day 1
Had a perfect travel day yesterday. Actually got away early, 8:45, and had beautiful cold clear weather all day. It was only once we got close to Portland that we saw any snow at all and there it was only deep in the bush. But shortly after we stopped for the night the snow started. It looks like we got about 3" overnight. Luckily we're heading south! Had great Chinese food last night. Who knew we'd find it in Maine! Here's what morning looked like - winter ...
New Years Eve in Boston
... 3kms later we arrived at the restaurant.... called Lucia :-)
We both chose to go with a seafood dinner of prawns for entree and lobster ravioli for the mains. After dinner we headed back to our hotel for a rest before the midnight fireworks celebration over the harbour and to pack for the morning flight to Washington.
We checked with the hotel concierge and were told to simply head down to the river 3 blocks from the hotel for a ...
The day we never wanted to end
This morning our intention was to check out Portland. We wandered down to the 'old town' which wasn't really an old town but VERY like Port Adelaide! It was cold - about minus 7 - so we were going into many shops just to warm up! When I saw a cheese shop that had samples it was like a dream!! The cheese was all made in Vermont and was delicious. We got talking to the lady about how we'd been hoping to see snow . She suggested if we drive inland about ...
December 29, 2014
... we got to Rockport, a seaside port that is just gorgeous. Pretty much deserted at this time of year, with about half the shops and most restaurants were closed. Didn't matter though. The harbour was so peaceful and gorgeous, with little boats and wooden buildings. The shopping areas were beautiful to wander through. Was a very nice walk, but very chilly!! In love with Rockport. Part on the appeal was the fact it was so quiet. I imagine in summer / Autumn ...
Final Day Off
... and set about it. Everyone did so well and managed to get up for a bit! At camp we have stripes in all the activities so the kids can aim towards goals in them, and I managed to get to second stripe (1st is to get up, 2nd is to cross the wake 5 times). I even tried to get onto 1 ski by dropping one mid ski...which don't work so well :-p After that we went to Blue Hill and had dinner at ...

A lesbian couple said they became victims of hate crime earlier this month when a group of Scottsdale bar patrons beat one woman while others ripped down her partner's dress and took pictures of her exposed breasts.
"There was no provocation for this," said Julie Melson, 38, who said Friday she still is recovering from the kicks and punches she said she received April 4 from under a "dog pile" of men outside the Rogue Bar at 423 N. Scottsdale Road.
"They were probably on me for a minute or two, which is a long time when you are being kicked and pummelled," she said. "I have never been beaten or been in a fight in my life. I think I was just in shock."
Scottsdale detective Sam Bailey said the department is not releasing its report until further investigation. The incident is classified as an assault rather than a hate crime.
"It has some characteristics of a hate crime," but Scottsdale detective Joe Nichols, who is assigned the case, hasn't made that distinction, Bailey said.
The women say they were struck by bar patrons, both men and women, who repeatedly yelled slurs at them.
Melson and her partner of eight months, Suzanne King, 32, called police later that day. They and officer Andrew Parker took pictures of bruises and cuts to Melson's face, breasts, arms, abdomen and knees. Melson said she wouldn't mind if the pictures were made public.
"I would love for people to see what a hate crime looks like," said Melson, who, though recently recovering from a long illness, still has some of the musculature that helped her win body-building titles such as Miss Arizona Heavy Weight in 1999.
Bar owner Mark Maertens said he wasn't there the night of the assault, but employees told him it involved two women hitting two other women. "All I heard was there was some altercation outside," he said, adding that his bar does not condone violence or discrimination.
Maertens said he did hear that a man with a cell phone camera took pictures when King's breasts were exposed.
Melson said she and King went out with four heterosexual female friends to celebrate King's birthday. They had gone to two other establishments before the Rogue, a nightspot that attracts a clientele partial to punk rock. King had celebrated her last two birthdays there, she said. They had no trouble with anyone inside the bar, they said.
"It was just a fun night and we were having a great time," Melson said.
As they walked out at closing time, they said a man and a woman just outside the door called them derogatory names and made crude comments. The woman punched King, who fell to the ground, Melson said. When Melson turned to confront them, the man pushed her. She punched him in response, which is when several men tackled her, she said.
"I was under a pile of people," Melson said.
Bronwyn Zwar, one of the women with the couple, said she and a friend had left before them and didn't know about the fight until another woman told her Melson and King were being attacked. She ran back, but couldn't even see Melson.
"There was a pretty big crowd and I was on the outside," Zwar said.
She did see King, who was down on the pavement, trying to cover her breasts while a man took pictures.
"Different guys were jumping in front of the camera and getting their pictures taken with her," she said.
Another friend managed to knock the camera from the man's hand, Zwar said.
Other people, including a man they didn't know, eventually managed to free Melson. A little more than a day later, Melson went to a Phoenix hospital to make sure the pain she felt wasn't from broken or cracked bones.
Kirk Baxter, a member of the task force that works with Phoenix police on gay and lesbian issues, said the incident should be categorized as a hate crime, which would mean harsher penalties and fines.
"Because there were clear homophobic references made during the assault," he said.
Ken Culver, with Scottsdale's Human Rights Commission, is looking into the incident as well "just to make sure it is reported properly," he said.

There are plenty of exciting new sci-fis, mysteries, and geek-friendly shows to watch this Fall, but plenty of shows we've come to love will return for a new season of entertainment.

Argh!! Steampunk vs Castle I'm really beginning to hate the people who schedule these shows. Thought process might be who is our market? What is our market currently watching? Maybe we shouldn't schedule against our market.

SC Trout Streams
South Carolina Wild Trout Streams*
Stream | County | Rating** | Comments |
Licklog, Pig Pen Creek | Oconee | 4.5 | Hike in is rated strenuous but more moderate in my opinion. Very tight fishing conditions. |
West Fork Townes Creek | Oconee | 4.0 | Access is easy from New Winding Stairs Road. Fishing is difficult due to brush and lots of blown down trees. |
Lower Crane Creek | Oconee | 4.0 | Access is easy from New Winding Stairs Road. Fishing is difficult due to brush and lots of blown down trees. Accessed from same parking area as W.F. Townes Ck. |
Upper East Fork Chattooga (Upper) | Oconee | 3.5 | Access is easy from Sloan Bridge Recreation Area. Hiking downstream on the Foothills Trail provides better fishing, but be prepared to scramble up waterfalls and crawl through blow downs. |
East Fork Chattooga at Walhalla Fish Hatchery | Oconee | 3.0 | Relatively easy access, fishing can be tough in places. Average width of the East Fork is 25 feet. |
Whitewater River | Oconee | 3.0 | Relatively easy access from Duke Energy Bad Creek Hydro Station, which includes a 0.7 mile moderate hike to river. Relatively wide water making for easy casting. The Whitewater River can flow with fairly high volumes of water at times and there is no gage on the river. |
Eastatoee Creek (Eastatoee Creek Heritage Preserve) | Pickens | 4.75 | Access to parking is easy, however it is a long hike into the gorge. 2.3 miles one way with one particularly steep section. Good camping area at the creek. I would give this a 5.0, but the creek is large enough for fairly easy casting. Be sure to fully prepare yourself for the 5 mile round trip in and out. |
Side Of Mountain Creek | Pickens | 4.5 | Access to parking is easy from the same location as Eastatoee access. One mile hike down an old logging road to the creek. The gradient of the road is decent. Fishing at the initial access point is tight and moderately difficult. |
Laurel Fork Creek | Pickens | 4.5 | Ease of access depends on gate closure. Gates are open from September 15-January 1 and March 20-May 10. Fishing is moderate to difficult. Narrow creek with overhanging brush. Please consult the SCDNR Trout Book*** for access information. |
Middle Saluda River (Upper) | Greenville | 4.75 | Access from Raven Cliff Falls parking area on HWY 276. Its a 0.7 mile hike to your first encounter with the Middle Saluda. Very tight, moderately difficult fishing here. Continuing downstream provides better fishing opportunities, but be prepared once again for rock climbing, heavy Rhododendron growth, and blow downs. Hiking back out to the parking area is very steep. |
Abner Creek | Pickens | 3.5 | Easy access from Van Clayton Hwy. The trout fishing guide says to park at the first red gated road after passing the Foothills Trail crossing if you are coming from US 178, but it is now the second red gate and there is a gravel parking area. Stream features several nice pools, and casting conditions are not for the timid. Fairly tight in spots. Lot's of blooming Mountain Laurel in the Spring. |
*This is not a comprehensive listing of all of SC's wild trout streams, only the creeks I am familiar with at this time. I hope to add many more as experience provides opportunities to do so.
**Rating is based solely on my experience level with a 1.0 as easiest and 5.0 as most difficult. The rating includes a combination of difficulty of access and difficulty of fishing conditions. Depending on your experience, some of the ratings may be high or low for you. You must determine for yourself the possible difficulty of accessing and fishing these streams. The rating does in no way reflect the size, type, or number of fish you may catch. That is entirely too variable.
***Click to download the SCDNR Trout Fishing Guide pdf, or visit the SCDNR website for details. The guide also features SC's hatchery supported trout water.

Thanks for this report. Very helpful.
Fred -
Great site you have here. One question-where can you access the little Eastote Creek? I see they stock it quite often, but I'm not exactly to where they are referring.
Ryan, they won't tell you exactly where they stock it, but you can access the Little Eastatoee from SC Hwy 11 at the bridge over the Eastatoee, Long Shoals Wayside Park, or the bridge on E. Preston McDaniel Rd.

Hi - This autumn we tried our first homebrew cider. In fact, it was our first homebrew anything. Forgive me if I don't know any of the right terms... Went to the local brewer supply to get yeast and a bucket, then off to the local cider mill to get some of the good stuff (local, NC apples). For about a week and a half there was all kinds of emissions from the trap on top of the bucket... now it's only bubbling like once every couple of hours... maybe even less. It's only been ten days, tho, so I don't expect it to be done. Is this normal? Something wrong? I've got lots of time with the current crop to go back to the cider mill and get more so I'm not stressed yet :-) Any advice would be welcomed. - Huw
That would be your secondary fermentation going. Nothing to worry about, your yeasties are just busilly turning the apple sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol.
I just made my first cider from four 1 gallon bottles of organic apple juice I bought at the grocery store. They were dumped into a bucket and champagne yeast were added. fermentation was complete after 10 days. Racked/transfered to a secondary fermenter and added 4 cups of corn sugar to try and sweeten the batch. Now its just aging in the secondary fermenter till I decide what to do with it, bottle or keg. I'm clueless as to how it will taste. My beer is always good but this is a bit different. I made some mead once that turned out really good. It aged about 3 years in the bottle and tastes like champagne.
If you used champagne yeast, that corn sugar is gonna get eaten up, increasing your ABV, not the sweetness or flavor.....
I didn't think about that. Well, I hope it turns out to at least be drinkable.
If you want it to be a still cider, you can just add a couple of campden tabs, give it 12-ish hours, and then add sugar to sweeten to taste. If you want it to carb later, I think you can use lactose to ferment it. I've never done it, but lactose is unfermentable, so adding it should sweeten it without raising your ABV (or causing bottle bombs... hooray!).

Continental Cup returns with renewed vigour
Participation in the Continental Cup is a great opportunity for athletes hoping to qualify for the Olympic Games
Lausanne, Switzerland, June 19, 2014 - FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graça F° has played a key role in providing an expanded set of opportunities for the continental confederations and national federations. The Continental Cup and the redefinition of the qualification pathway for the Olympic Games is an example of how the sport of beach volleyball is developing.
On its second run, the Continental Cup further strengthens the universality of beach volleyball and is a chance for more teams and athletes to play towards the Olympic Games. Through the active participation of the national federations in the inaugural Continental Cup, beach volleyball athletes now have the perfect setting in which to compete with the top teams in the world.
"The Continental Cup complements the structure of the FIVB and continental beach volleyball events," Dr. Graça said. "Its unbiased format likewise boosts most of the national federations' morale to reach their Olympic dreams. We have seen many teams rise up to the occasion of playing and enduring a unique competition format for the Continental Cup. It is indeed inspiring to see other countries compete in such a high-level competition."
The FIVB has helped to make beach volleyball one of the most popular summer Olympic sports. Now, the International Volleyball Federation is making it possible for a greater variety of countries to participate in the much-anticipated quadrennial event.
"We imagined the Continental Cup as a way to help national federations get a spot in the Olympics, in the process of developing their beach volleyball programmes over a three-year period," Dr. Graça added. "In terms of acceptance, the FIVB has received positive evaluations from the national federations. Of course, we will continue to improve the process so that all stakeholders will be well served."
The FIVB has always produced ground-breaking results for beach volleyball, from elevating its status as a global sport to expanding its base of practitioners and increasing the level of competitions each year. The Continental Cup is part of this growth and solidifies collaboration between the FIVB and the national federations.
"I believe that with the national federations' active participation in the Continental Cup, we will be able to see a more balanced competition in the future," Dr. Graça said. "Sharing the same vision will produce better results. That is what we want the national federations to do, and we are there every step of the way to help them."

Andy Roddick gave his October knee injury a solid test on Monday, firing 15 aces in a first round defeat of Australian Peter Luczak 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 at the Brisbane International.
The American, playing in Australia for only the second time outside of the January Open, was joined as a winner by second seed Radek Stepanek. The veteran Czech out put Australian John Millman 6-4, 6-0.
Roddick has said that his knee injury is still not 100 per cent but he expects to be fit for the Grand Slam start on January 18 in Melbourne.
France's Richard Gasquet won his first match since being cleared of cocaine doping charges, defeating Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 as the Finn made a comeback from five months out in 2009 with injury and swine flu.
Colombia's Alejandro Falla ousted French seventh seed Jeremy Chardy 6-4, 6-4 while Thomaz Bellucci, the eighth seed from Brazil, stopped Juan Chela of Argentina 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.
In women's play, Ana Ivanovic won her first match since mid-August while Justine Henin returned to tennis from retirement with a successful win.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion Henin defeated second seed Nadia Petrova of Russia 7-5, 7-5 as the Belgian played her first match since retiring in May 2008.
"I've been waiting for this moment for so long. I am so happy about what I did on the court, my feelings," said Henin.
"Everything went well. I have a lot to work on but for a first match, a first tough round, I can be really positive today.
"I feel better today than when I retired, that's for sure. Better emotionally, mentally, better with myself and that makes a big difference — that I will enjoy being on the tour again. Petrova was also pleased overall with her game.
"It was a good match, I felt rusty from time to time but overall I am happy. Henin is playing better tennis than before she retired. It is good news that she's back.
"She's very quick and explosive. There is no one better on the tour." Henin will next play Sesil Karatantcheva, who defeated Australian wildcard Casey Dellacqua 6-2 0-6, 7-6 (7-1).
Ivanovic beat Australian Jelena Dokic 7-5, 1-6, 6-3.
Ivanovic, dating Aussie golfer Adam Scott, has been in the country for more than month is well acclimatised to the steaming conditions in sub-tropical Brisbane.
The victory took 1 hour, 40 minutes, with Dokic waking up for 5-0 in the second set on her way to levelling the match.
But Ivanovic, her ranking down to 21st, re-established normal service in the third, breaking three times to claim victory. "I'm pleased with the result," said the winner. "I still have a bunch of things to improve but I try to relax and not look ahead and take one match at a time.
"There have lots of positive signs out there for me today. My goal is to get back to the top 10."

In an increasingly global society, where health problems – and their potential solutions – often have implications far beyond the communities in which they occur, public health is fast becoming a field of great interest among colleges and universities. Boston College is a leader in training this new generation of internationally-minded problem solvers through its program in Global Public Health, offering undergraduates interdisciplinary coursework via a collaboration between the Lynch School of Education, Connell School of Nursing, and School of Social Work.
This semester, 67 students have been enjoying the unique opportunity to take a course team-taught by Social Work Assistant Professor Summer Hawkins and Nursing Assistant Professor Melissa Sutherland. Public Health in a Global Society, the first installment in a three-course sequence, presents the topic as an interdisciplinary science focused on health promotion and disease prevention.

John Mayer bought a guitar with the money he earned at his post-graduation gas station gig. In 1998, after only two semesters, Mayer dropped out of Boston's Berklee College of Music and hightailed it to Atlanta to play the clubs and self-release his first album Inside Wants Out. In 2000, performances at South by Southwest landed him a contract with Aware/Columbia and a year later he was climbing the Billboard charts with Room For Squares and the single "No Such Thing." By 2003, he'd avoided the sophomore slump with Heavier Things and the sentimental ballad "Daughters." Concerned he was being pigeonholed, he formed a bluesy jam trio in 2005, started collaborating with everyone from B.B. King to Alicia Keys and also gave comedy a shot. (His stand-up career was short-lived despite appearing on Chappelle's Show thanks to his risqué style and use of the n-word.) Continuum (2006) and its tracks "Waiting For The World To Change," "Gravity" and "Say" put him back on top with four more Grammys. Having spent two years mostly out of the spotlight, he released his third No. 1 album Born and Raised in 2012. But as skilled a musician as he is, it is his numerous high-profile relationships (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Minka Kelly and Jessica Simpson) that have us assuming it's his body that's a wonderland. Most recently, he's been courting fellow singer Katy Perry but despite spending the 2012 holidays together, they have already broken up twice in less than a year.

Both coaches talk about Open Cup final
Here is some of what Sounders coach Sigi Schmid and Union coach Jim Curtin had to say today about the U.S. Open Cup final at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday from Pennsylvania.
We're happy to be playing a team that's playing well right now. It's going to be a tough game, a competitive game, a fun one to watch and a good game. Hopefully all the fans will come out and watch the game and will have a good time of it.On the reward of CONCACAF Champions League: Champions League is a competition that we've been in in the past. We enjoy that competition, we look forward to it. Getting knocked out in the semis the last time around gave us a taste of how close we can get to the final game. Being able to eliminate a team from Mexico was something that was really special at the time. That's far in the future. What's at hand is a tough game tomorrow night, and we have to be prepared. We have to be fully concentrated, because Philly's a good team.

Football: UNITED ARE OVER-RATED; We're as good and we'll prove it raps Arsenal star.
MARC OVERMARS hit Manchester United with a treble whammy before today's Premiership crunch match at Highbury.Arsenal's Dutch star looked forward to this afternoon's live TV showdown and insisted:
The Gunners are just as good as their biggest rivals;
United will NEVER match last season's epic treble;
United's Champions' Cup win didn't have the same value as previous European Cup wins.
United pipped Arsenal by one point for the title and beat them in the FA Cup semi-final after a last-minute Dennis Bergkamp penalty miss to leave the Gunners empty-handed.
But Overmars, fit again after groin trouble and likely to get a place on the bench today, said: "We believe we're as good as United, that we're their equal.
"Look how close we came last year and we're very strong this season. I feel with the greater stength of our squad we are now better equipped to keep our challenge going to the very end.
"Look at the difference Kanu made last season when he joined us, and if we could have got him or a couple of extra strikers earlier in the season well, who knows?
"Manchester United had great success last year and their expectations are so high again this season. But how can you follow the treble? You can't."
And Overmars, a European Cup winner with Ajax in 1995, believes the Champions' Cup has been devalued by extending it to include non-champions.
Arsenal and United are set to be joined by Chelsea in the Champions' League format next week, and Overmars said: "It's not a Champions' League any more with the number three and four teams getting a chance to play. When I won it with Ajax it was only the teams who finished first who took part. It's not special any more.
"I think the Champions' League is just a starter for what they want to do in the future, create a European League."

Engine: To paint or not to paint aluminum and bronze parts

I don't think there's a certain answer. Aluminum alloys especially vary in their reaction to salt air. Many will develop a white oxide coat (which stays soft and continues to wear) in just a few weeks of salt air. Others are unaffected. Who knows which ones you have?
But then again some makers, particularly "Westerbleak", paint everything in sight including all the rubber parts and fittings which the rubber companies say should never be painted. Because it looks pretty and is easier than masking, I suppose.
Since you've got them all clean...shine 'em up, apply some wax or polish or other product, and see how it goes after a week, a month, six months. If they stay looking acceptable, by all means leave them that way. If they start to get ugly or show white powdery residue, it will be time to prime them (aluminum needs special primers) and paint them.
But of course any "iron" parts will rust, if there's no oil film, no paint, no nothing to protect them. Or at least, form a light coating of rust. Even on a car, the bolts under the engine compartment are protected well enough by an oil film, but they'll bloom with rust within a few days if they've been steam cleaned and the film knocked off.
Things like the exhaust manifold require special high-temperature paint, and usually you have to run the engine so it heats up and bakes on after being applied. Makes a bit of a stink while doing that, too.

Thanks for the review.
Recently, when I was deciding to add some shojo into my collection, I seriously considered buying this title, since it looked like Viz was planning to actually finish it. I was attracted by the art (what I could see of it looking at the covers), which has old-school shojo character designs. I also remember way back when I rented the anime series from Netflix. I couldn't afford it at the time. The anime was released by Honneamise (the 2005 incarnation of Bandai Visual USA), and was incredibly overpriced. I remember being happy that I had rented it, rather than buy it, since the plot was nothing but a thin, recycled variation of Fushigi Yugi. - or so I though at the time, having zero knowledge of Otome games. I have to admit that the anime was pretty terrible. I particularly remember how I felt angry about spoiler[the fate of the poor tengu, who was treated like an expendable slave.] Back to the manga: when I saw all the manga volumes listed. I thought that maybe if I bought this, I would find out if any of these cardboard prettyboys had any kind of personality development beyond what I saw in that anime. I ended up passing on this series, opting instead for Kamisama Kiss, Dawn of the Arcana, and Library Wars (my favorite of the three! ) I'm not sorry about my decisions. However; *sigh* Despite the spoilerific cover, and your less than enthusiastic review, the completist in me makes me want to squander my disposable income by purchasing this series. Just to see how it resolves. Please, Rebecca, help me. Even though the cost of buying this would not cause me a substantial financial hardship by any means, I still would be very grateful to know if there is enough "there", beyond the pretty art, for me to shell out the money. ---the art does look reallly pretty. errrrrgh |

Honestly? Not really. The pacing is really off for most of the series and the guys don't really get enough development to make this worth spending money on. (An artbook, on the other hand...) I'd go with the library option on this one, even if you have to interlibrary loan it, especially since judging from your list we have pretty similar taste. (Go Library Wars!!) For even more context, after I finished reading this, I took it to the used bookstore and traded it for Patricia Wrede's new series, which makes for better re-reading. | |||

Thank you so much for the advise (belatedly, sorry. ) . I figure the $100+ bucks I save on this series would probably be better spent entertaining my poor husband, since it's his b-day this weekend.
I've never read the author you mentioned, I'll have to check her out. Recently, I read the The Inheritance Trilogy (N.K. Jemisin),... highly recommended. For novels, I usually enjoy the grittier stuff, like Joe Abercrombie and Richard K Morgan, though I love stuff that incorprates all sorts of mythology and folklore (getting a little sick of the Celtic Folklore, though...) |
