About a month ago I went to an Audi showroom and looked at the new Audi A3 (3-door) and was sufficiently impressed to soon order a new A3 Sportback. I choose 1.4TFSI CoD (140ps) with s-tronic. Before I ordered, I was told that the delivery times are around 3 months, give or take a couple of weeks. I'm in Europe. Now, about 3 weeks after the order, I was told by the salesperson that it turns out that the specific model I'm ordering is probably going to be available on the 22nd week of 2013, ie. beginning of June. That's 5.5 months, not 3.5. He also told me that they're negotiating with the factory to see if this date can be moved back somehow. I'm not in a massive rush (I already have an A3 SB, 8P), but it's a bit disappointing to be told you're getting the car in 3.5 months and then told you'll probably wait until summer. I have to pay the same price regardless of delivery date, so I might as well drive it sooner rather than later. What I want to know is this: is this the waiting time everyone else is seeing with the new A3 Sportback, or is it related to this engine/transmissions combination?
Plenty folk ordering A3 SB in various guises and being quoted 2-3 months until delivery but can't recall anyone else confirming an order with the 1.4 COD engine. To be honest I wasn't even aware you could order a new sportback with the 1.4 COD engine as yet, so no surprise as at all at the delivery timeframe quoted suspect it's very much associated with the new engine.
The salesperson mentioned that I could get 1.4TFSI CoD with manual transmission very soon, but because I want s-tronic (and I'm definitely not prepared to compromise on s-tronic), the wait times are longer because of s-tronic. He also told me that they are trying to figure out a way to arrange speedier delivery, but I'm afraid it's a tactic to get me used to the idea of waiting extra 2 months. ;-)
Can I ask how much difference in price between the 1.4 tfsi and the 1.4 COD? I'm very interested in the COD but not if it is at a premium
It's about a thousand euros more expensive. For me, that's worth the increase in horsepower (140 instead of 122), because 1.8TFSI 180hp is about 6.5 grand more than 1.4TFSI 122, that's a serious difference in price, even for 58hp. If someone knows the EU delivery date for 1.4TFSI CoD with s-tronic, I'd love to find out...
Build week 22 is when Audi change from one model year to the next and when many of the updates are made. I don't think you will get the A3 1.4 COD any earlier at since this is probably the first week they will actually build any.
I don't really see it as a tactic as such to soften the wait, just simply the newer engine is not being built in the exact model configuration with gearbox you want as yet. Build weeks seem to shift as I've found with my own order, placed way back on 24 September. Dealer advised me I was that dealerships first new A3 SB order and was told initially build week 4 for mid February delivery knowing UK release was supposedly around that time, then it shifted to week 8 and finally week 7. So who knows you may yet get a pleasant surprise from your dealer. There has been some interesting comments on the forum in other threads about the new COD engine.....not all of it complimentary. Be interesting hearing more reviews of anyone who has driven it.
It seems that way, unfortunately. However, I googled a memo in French that seems to suggest the build weeks for 1.4TFSI CoD s-tronic A3 Sportbacks is actually 05/13. I marked the relevant months in pink. ;-) So now it's even more confusing. ;-)
I note with interest that the 1.8 Sportback will be configured with a manual box, which is what I've been after since day one, the only downside looking at your image dzankizakon [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]is that is not due to be built until October, not sure I can wait that long, may run with the COD instead![/FONT]
the 58 hp is not the only difference. in the 1.4 122 and 1.4 140 COD you get the EA 211 engine (with COD only available on the 140) , the 1.8 comes with EA 888 Gen 3 (with valvelift). the 1.4 122 has a cheaper suspension , the 1.4 140cod and 1.8 have a multilink suspension. of course the 1.8 comes with bigger brakes. since the 1.8 tfsi is currently available only on s-tronic , further explains the price difference. initially i've placed an order for the 1.4 tfsi 140cod Sportback , but the dealer called me after a week and told me that the earlier delivery date will be mid-june (not guaranteed) . so i changed my order to 1.8 that will be delivered early may. take a look at the following presentation , it has many technical details about the engine technology that you might find interesting: http://www.cargroup.org/assets/speakers/presentations/40/schmidt_oliver.pdf
I'm also interested in the 1.4 CoD - do you mind giving the price for your original order? I can't find any information regarding prices and can't really judge by the Golf version, as it is a completely different model
Useful info. However, note that the 1.4 122PS also gets multi-link rear suspension. Only the 1.2 TSI and 1.6 TDI models get torsion beam.
+1. Also CO2, mpg (or l/100km), 0-100km time, top speed, unladen weight etc would be great. I can't seem to find anything official from Audi at all.
It looks like they are pricing 1.4T(122), 1.4T(140) and 1.8T differently in different markets. In Eastern Europe, 1.4T(122) is 2.5k cheaper than in Germany, but 1.8T is 1k more expensive than in Germany. Weird. Now I just saw on German Audi site that the difference between 1.4 CoD manual (which just appeared on their site) and 1.8T s-tronic is around 4.5k, which means that, when and if 1.4CoD comes out with s-tronic in Germany, the difference will be only about 2.5k, which is much more reasonable than 5.5k. It seems that German prices make a lot of sense, i.e. function between horsepower and price is almost linear. I was just told by my dealer that the week of production for my car (as I said, 1.4T(140)CoD s-tronic) will be 22, give or take a couple weeks. So it's gonna be a long wait to sit in it - end of June :-(
You have them now on Audi's German site. The first column in Sportback 1.4TFSI manual, the second 1.4TFSI CoD manual. [TABLE] [TR] [TD="colspan: 2"]Max.

Thanks! As expected, much like the equivalent Golf, which is fine by me. Edit. 3-door has very slightly better numbers. 0-100 8.3s, CO2 109g/km, fuel consumption, combined 4.7 l/100km (60.1 mpg), weight 1270kg.
According to the Audi Germany site prices for equivalent spec petrols (all A3 Ambiente, manual, no options) are: 122 â¬24,400 140 CoD â¬25,600 180 â¬27,800 I don't read German and don't know if these prices include tax or not. I guess we *might* be looking at the 1.4 CoD being about £1,000 more than the non-CoD 122 1.4. I'd be happy with that!
I guess it's a consideration of the initial 1.4 COD engine cost versus real world fuel economy / annual mileage to determine if paying a premium of circa £1000 is worthwhile. I know there was a post on another thread that looked at costs and the kind of mileage needed to offset the costlier engines like 2.0 diesel against the 1.4 tfsi but for lower mileage drivers like myself mpg would need to be remarkable to entice me to part with another £1k for an extra 18bhp. Will one day get a drive of the 1.4 COD but not expecting much more oomph in the speed stakes if I'm honest over standard 1.4 tfsi as VAG selling point seems centred on its fuel economy potential. No doubt someone will come along soon and disprove this theory
My wife and I drove the 1.4 122 A3 and 1.4 140 Golf over same ~80 mile route on consecutive days last month and we both thought the Golf was quicker, although not massively so. It's 18 hp more but also has a fair bit more torque (250 Nm vs 200), so perhaps that's the difference. I like the idea of more performance and lower emissions and am willing to pay for it. Some of my other tastes are quite cheap (prefer Sport to S-line, cloth to leather, iPhone TomTom to Audi's satnav etc) so I'll make up the money there or on the reduced VED (£20 vs £30 - just need to keep the car for a hundred years )
Just been given preliminary build week 27, i.e. beginning of July. That's practically 6 months between order and estimated delivery. :-|

MPG Office Trust Further Reduces Company's Debt Level
MPG Office Trust, Inc. (NYSE:MPG), a Southern California-focused real estate investment trust, today consented to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of Two California Plaza. The court appointed receiver will now be responsible for the management and operation of the building. This is a key first step in MPG's plan to exit Two California Plaza on a cooperative basis with the special servicer. Two California Plaza is currently encumbered by $470.0 million of mortgage debt.
David L. Weinstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Two California Plaza is an asset that is significantly overleveraged. While we are disappointed that the Company was unable to retain this asset, we were unable to restructure the loan on terms that were in the best interests of our stockholders. We determined that it was a more prudent use of the Company's cash to support our remaining portfolio of Downtown Los Angeles assets."
The appointment of a receiver and the ultimate exit of Two California Plaza will not have any impact on the operation of any of MPG's other downtown properties. The Company remains optimistic about the prospects for Downtown Los Angeles as a whole and for its core portfolio.

FDA approves Vertex cystic fibrosis drug
- Julie M. Donnelly, Boston Business Journal
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: VRTX) has won U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for Kaledyco, a breakthrough drug to treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis for the 4 percent of patients who have the most common form of the disease. The drug was discovered as part of a collaboration between the Cambridge-based biotechnology company and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Inc., the nonprofit drug discovery and development affiliate of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The approval of Kalydeco is Vertex's second in less than a year. Last May, the company's hepatitis C drug was approved by the FDA, transforming the company into a commercial, profitable biopharmaceutical company. Vertex said it would start shipping Kalydeco to pharmacies this week.
"More than 13 years ago we set out to change the lives of people with cystic fibrosis by developing new medicines that address the underlying cause of this rare and devastating disease," incoming CEO Dr. Jeffrey Leiden said in a statement. "KALYDECO represents a major advance in the treatment of cystic fibrosis for people with a specific type of this disease. But our work isn't done. With the ongoing support of doctors, patients and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, we're making progress toward our ultimate goal of developing additional medicines to help many more people with cystic fibrosis."
Until now, most CF treatments have focused on mitigating the symptoms of the disease, including reducing the mucus that builds up in the lungs.
Kalydeco can cause serious side effects, including high liver enzymes in the blood. The most common side effects associated with Kalydeco include headache, upper respiratory tract infection (common cold) including sore throat, nasal or sinus congestion, and runny nose; stomach (abdominal) pain; diarrhea; rash; nausea; and dizziness.

Hey SuMin, I was also wondering which direction you were thinking of going in. From a few of your other blog posts it seems like you may be leaning toward dementia, but I think Anthony's suggestion of incorporating the two ideas together is great. After speaking to a few people that have experienced working with autistic individuals, concentration seems to be a big issue. People mentioned that it is very difficult to get an autistic person to focus and engage, especially when it is in a larger setting (like a classroom). Maybe you could approach the project with the problem of creating something for both conditions, but in the end have it more geared toward one. My hesitation with designing a product for both conditions is present because they involve keeping the brain active for very different reasons (one to keep focus/attention, and one to stimulate memory). I look forward to seeing which direction you end up going with the project!

The interesting thing with the Sony is that the adhesive clip-in mounts look really similar to the GoPro ones.
Not getting my hopes up , but if they were interchangeable that would really lower the cost of switching and make it easier to run the Sony and GoPro(s) together... |

You fly off this thing, unbelievably, even to your own surprise, you stomp the shit out of it. Sprint back to the camera to make sure your not dreaming, check it out.... You got a tiny piece of what you might think could be your arm, for a split second in the corner of the screen. Sweet can't wait to show my friends, they'll never believe this. Insert similar story?

ive used these before and seen the end product of that product of these, at a drfit day recently... they are good quality, smart looking things, but the thing that impressed me the most was the slow motion feature, it was very cool to see the slow motion straight up out of the camera as well as the quality of the slow motion... but these were all prototypes

The specs on the camera are amazing. Especially when viewing the crisp 1080/120 fps on a tilted image....
the inability to adjust/rotate the lense seens like a huge flaw. Now, I refer to this strictly from a snowboarding perspective. Im sure for other uses it's FANTASTIC... but on a profile helmet mount or goggle strap mount, not being able to adjust the lense sucks ass.... you would then have to opt for the ever so cool Teletubby GoPro look to ensure a straight shot nevertheless the specs are of the charts, but good luck taking many videos on a long day with that much data usage in 1080p@120fps. You'll need several memory cards. The camera sounds solid, but all things considered, I find the Contour to have some key features that set it apart, specifically the rotating lense, and the instant power on/record button. I can't tell you how many times my buddies turn to me and say "Dude, is the light on my GoPro turned on?" I can't tell...... More competition is always good though... makes everyone step up the game. |

Tim Cook reportedly responding to customer emails
We'll miss a lot of things about Steve Jobs being at Apple in the CEO position, but one loss will be his tendency to answer all kinds of customer emails in person, no matter what the topic (or time of day). There's hope, though: MacRumors has our first reported "TimMail," in which new CEO Tim Cook has taken the time out to personally answer a customer emailing him congrats about his new promotion.
You can see it in the image above -- like Steve, Tim seems to be a man of few words who uses them well. The "War Eagle" cry is a reference to Cook's alma mater, Auburn University, where apparently he remains a fan. Good to see that Cook is apparently continuing the tradition of answering emails as CEO -- we'll have to see how he reacts when the messages go from simple congratulations to issues that might be a little tougher to deal with.

yo guys and gals i just installed a full set of kickers in my 1996 ram 1500

Almost all 2 to 3 way speakers that are integrated into one speaker (coax, 3-way) will have their own built-in crossover. I would leave it like it is for best performance. The only time you need to add crossovers is when using separate components.
If you're really looking to get the most out of a 2 or 3-way, you could cross them over just above where their frequency response starts (high-pass) with about a 12db slope. That way you won't be pushing too much in the low freq range to them and they'll run more efficiently. Most higher-end amps have crossovers built-in for this purpose. That, and the head unit may have it as well. If they both have this feature, only use ONE of them, and run the other as a pass-through (no crossover). Scott |

Farmers in Ernakulam's coastal area stare at loss, blame it on freakish weather and pests
Pokkali farming in Ernakulam district's coastal areas has come a cropper this season.
The near drought-like condition during the replanting season and attacks by migratory birds had scuppered the chances of farmers that grew pokkali, the traditional salt resistant variety of rice.
In Chellanam panchayat, where pokkali has been a way of life for several decades, around 100 hectares of land was taken up for farming in early June. However, the rains were deficient during sowing and replanting, said an official of the Department of Agriculture. This led to poor harvest.
The lack of rain also forced farmers to let about 100 hectares lie fallow. They have, so far, been able to harvest only about 80 hectares of the total area.
In Edavanakkad panchayat, pokkali farming has met a similar fate. The farmers in the panchayat took up farming in more than 60 hectares, but they reaped a frustrating result. And the blame is on freakish weather.
It was quite a land-mark event when 60 hectares of land came under pokkali farming this season because in the past years farmers were forced to leave their fields fallow for lack of farm hands. But this season, the preparatory works were undertaken by roping in labourers who signed up for the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
In Elamkunnappuzha and Pallippuram panchayats, pokkali season has been equally disappointing. Lack of rain during the early part of the season forced farmers to abandon more than half of the area available for sowing. More than 50 hectares came under pokkali farming in Pallippuram, which was a big improvement over the last two seasons when the spades were rested.
In both the panchayats, however, the attack by purple moor hens has resulted in substantial crop loss.
An official of the department of agriculture said though steps were taken to combat the menace of migratory birds they were a little too late.
Firecrackers too were brought in, after consulting the Kerala Agricultural University, to scare away the birds towards the end of the harvest.

in review Knowing What You Don't Know By Susan Webber The Halo Effect . . . and the Eight Other Business Delusions That Deceive Managers By Phil Rosenzweig Free Press, $25.00 Illustrations by Philip Hackett Some time ago, I heard this story about a client I was serving: A team of consultants was briefing a manager in a Japanese retail-banking operation on best practices in asset-liability management. The officer, Mr. N, was hunched forward during the presentation, listening intently. He suddenly stood up, shoved the document aside, and stormed around the room, declaiming: "You do not understand! We are barbarians. We live in a little village. We are happy believing the world is flat. You tell us the world is round. We do not want to know!" Needless to say, that put an end to the discussion. Now, what could Mr. N's rejection of modern banking possibly have to do with Insead professor Phil Rosenzweig's excellent new book? Actually, quite a lot. Rosenzweig tells us that our beliefs about business success are largely, perhaps entirely, wrong, distorted by the halo effect—in this case, the idea that once we consider a company successful, we tend to see it as doing everything right. Business gurus, he charges, chart a flat, comfortable world in which a handful of top firms are to be emulated, no questions asked. Among the follow-the-leaders classics that the author condemns as fatally flawed: Tom Peters and Robert Waterman's In Search of Excellence, John Kotter and James Heskett's Corporate Culture and Performance, Bruce Robertson's What Really Works, and Jim Collins' Built to Last and Good to Great. Their glib assurances about the path to corporate success are satisfying, but the stories are not necessarily helpful or accurate. We have no way of knowing whether to believe their analyses of why their casestudy champions achieved success: Rather than factual, objective metrics, the gurus rely on anecdotes, retrospective impressions, and press reports. That irresponsible but supremely confident analysis—boiled down to a magic three (or is it eight? or fifteen?) secrets to making your company a winner—is what all too many people are looking for. By contrast, Rosenzweig leaves readers with little solace: The world is full of uncertainty, and the wise understand the limits of their knowledge. For those raised on the-eight-secretsof-success programs, Rosenzweig's mes- sage may be tough to take, and it helps that his style is reminiscent of Warren Buffett, without the cornpone. He writes with a relaxed sense of mastery, uses simple but compelling examples, is rigorous without being pedantic, and bends over backward to be fair to the so-called experts he demolishes. Rosenzweig focuses on what he feels is the fundamental question in business: What leads to high performance? And he finds a disturbing pattern. Most research on both individuals and organizations has been hopelessly tainted by the halo effect. In World War I, psychologist Edward Thorndike asked commanding officers to rank their subordinates on a series of qualities. He found the answers to be highly correlated; in other words, the officers saw the soldiers in broad-brush positive or negative terms, as either all good or all bad. (Consider that we generally view physically attractive people SUSAN WEBBER is founder of Aurora Advisors, a New York-based management-consulting firm. March/April 2007 The Conference Board Review 67 in review A Game as Old as Empire The Secret World of Economic Hit Men and the Web of Global Corruption Edited by Steven Hiatt Berrett-Koehler, $24.95 oney laundering, tax evasion, extortion, and violence. If "economic hit man" (or its distillation: EHM) has become part of our language, it's due to John Perkins' 2004 book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. In that exposé, he speaks about a corporatocracy (another of his coinages)—that group of people who run the world's multinational corporations and major governments, who control "history's first global empire." Perkins writes an extended I-told-you-so introduction to A Game as Old as Empire, in which he argues that many of the charges in his earlier book—of collusion, corruption, and manipulation—have been subsequently documented by events, which in turn are documented by this book. If anything, he argues, the EHM game today is "more complex, its corruption more pervasive, and its operations more fundamental to the world economy and politics." And certainly the chapters that follow, written by investigative journalists, activists, and other EHMs, give credence to his charges. Bleak and dire as their "snapshots" of money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, and violence are, Perkins says these are "a mere introduction to the many nefarious deeds that have been committed by the corporate elite— often in the name of altruism and progress." If even a fraction of the charges leveled in this book are true, the indignation of Perkins and his colleague is understandable. Still, even while one reads of these "nefarious deeds," one wonders whether they M as more intelligent than ugly people. If we see one positive attribute, we tend to attribute other positive attributes, relevant or not, to the same person—or company.) Have you ever heard of a company with falling profits lauded for excellent customer service? But clearly this takes place. In fact, a company might be doing badly because it overinvested in customer care. To illustrate his point, Rosenzweig goes through case studies of Lego, Cisco, and ABB. For example, when its fortunes were rising, Cisco was praised for "extreme The author sets forth the impossibility of subjecting corporations to scientific research—for one thing, you can't conduct experiments. But with a well-chosen sample, you can come close by isolating the impact that certain factors, called independent variables, have on an outcome, called a dependent variable. You need to measure the variables objectively (merely identify distinctive qualities of your sample, and you can get what Rosenzweig calls the Delusion of the Wrong End of the Stick). You need to be sure of causality— that action A led to result B—which means research into corporate performance is halo effect writ large. customer focus," skill in acquisition and integration, and highly motivated employees. Yet when performance fell, critics saw many of these previously admirable attributes as causes of failure. Cisco's problem wasn't that it had ridden a bubble that collapsed—no, it had "a cavalier attitude toward customers." Its deals had been haphazard, employees had been "too busy taking orders and cashing stock options to bother with efficiency, cost-cutting, or teamwork." Academics joined the media in this reputational pump-and-dump. As the author explains: "No one was saying that Cisco had changed between 2000 and 2001. It was just that now, in retrospect, Cisco was described through a different lens—one of failing performance. . . . Placing these accounts together, the impression is nothing short of Orwellian—a rewriting of history that thrusts facts into the past, rearranging the record . . . reinterpreting the past to suit present needs." Indeed, much of what passes for research into performance is halo effect writ large: "So many of the things that we— managers, journalists, professors, and consultants—commonly think contribute to company performance are often attributions based on performance." that measurements must take place over time (violate that, and you get the Delusion of Correlation and Causality). And even high-quality studies can have limited value, Rosenzweig tells us, because they look at only one variable in isolation (the Delusion of Single Explanations), so we still don't know how this factor interacts with other things we might do. Most investigations of corporate performance have at least two major failings. First, winners-only studies such as In Search of Excellence tell us little that's useful (the Delusion of Connecting the Winning Dots): "The scientific term for this is sample selection based on the dependent variable—this is, based on outcomes," the author writes. "It's a classic error. Suppose we want to find out what leads to high blood pressure. We'll never find out if we only examine patients who suffer from high blood pressure; we'll only know if we compare them to a sample of patients who don't have high blood pressure." But the second, glaring error is that much of the data in these studies is garbage. They rely on news items, retrospective interviews, case studies, Fortune Most Admired Company ratings, and other information sources hopelessly Much of what passes for 68 The Conference Board Review March/April 2007 tainted by the halo effect. And efforts to add yet more bad data don't make the results any more credible (the Delusion of Rigorous Research). Yet possibly the most important of Rosenzweig's delusions is the one that tells us not about the limits of what we can learn but the limits of what we can achieve: the Delusion of Lasting Success. Two-thirds of In Search of Excellence's showcased companies underperformed shortly after that book was published, as did more than half the Built to Last firms. Rosenzweig cites a McKinsey study: "the corporate equivalent of El Dorado, the golden company that continually performs better than the markets, has never existed. It is a myth. Management for survival, even among the best and most revered corporations, does not guarantee strong long-term performance for shareholders." What does the author prescribe instead? It's cold cheer. While companies may be able to improve their odds of success, nothing is assured. The best that compa- nies can hope for is to string together a series of short-term achievements, and those depend in turn on strategy and execution. The performance gurus focus entirely on execution, even though good tactics cannot salvage a bad strategy. Rosenzweig urges managers to recognize and understand the uncertainty of their environments, to think in terms of probabilities rather than absolutes, and gives us U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, Intel's Andy Grove, and Logitech's Guerrino De Luca as managers who recognize the limits of information and frame decisions in that context. Mr. N may have called himself a barbarian, but he was sophisticated enough to recognize and admit to his resistance to a radical new way of doing things. And in the end, he came around. Time will tell if readers of The Halo Effect will muster the courage to face the business world's uncertainties head on, or whether they will revert to the comfort of simple-minded but false prescriptions for success. truly are all part of one vast Western conspiracy to control the Third World. It's tidy to think of it that way, but bad things sometimes happen without a misguided intelligence behind them. The Secret to GE's Success By William E. Rothschild McGraw-Hill, $27.95 ecause Jack Welch was CEO of General Electric for more than two decades, because his management style and policies influenced a generation of managers at GE and beyond, because he was a celebrity CEO of the first order, we still (despite his successor's strong leadership skills) tend to link Welch and GE in a ham-and-eggs, Hope-and-Crosby sort of way. A mistake, as Rothschild's book about this 126-year-old corporation makes clear. At heart this is an intellectual history of GE—what it did, how it did it, and the thinking behind its decisions—and a very readable history it is. And The Secret is a knowledgeable one: Rothschild worked at GE for more than thirty years and helped develop its competitive strategies. He also holds strong opinions about current issues—for instance, he believes in term limits for both CEOs and directors. Although Rothschild frequently cautions the reader to adapt rather than adopt practices associated with "the GE way," in some ways it's unavoidable, given the book's title, offering nothing less than a "secret." But is developing flexible strategies a secret? Is continually investing in high-potential people a secret? Is maintaining discipline and consistency a secret? These are among the "success factors" that Rothschild says account for GE's outstanding track record.

These fires of imagination in the arts, science, and public affairs obeyed Smith's now-identified "invisible hand."

You see the latest from the "cheap chic" folks at Target — a digital camera gift card? That's right, they've introduced a Target gift card that can be loaded with $50 to $1,000 of store credit… that also features a basic digital camera about as good as the one on your cell phone.
Like with other cards, you choose how much store credit you want loaded onto the card. The camera is 1.2 megapixel with 8 MB of memory to hold 50 pictures. It runs on 3 AAA batteries. The camera / card comes with a USB cord, driver disc and voucher for 40 free prints at Target.
I'm not sure how truly useful the camera is, but it certainly has a Cool Factor that stands out from all the other gift cards out there.

Web freedom facing greatest threat - Google founder
LONDON (Reuters) - The principles of openness and universal access that underpinned the Internet's creation are facing their greatest-ever threat, the co-founder of Google (GOOG.O) Sergey Brin said in an interview published by Britain's Guardian newspaper on Monday.
Brin said the threat to freedom of the Internet came from a combination of factors, including increasing efforts by governments to control access and communication by their citizens.
Brin said attempts by the entertainment industry to crack down on piracy, and the rise of "restrictive" walled gardens such as Facebook (FB.O) and Apple (AAPL.O), which tightly control what software can be released on their platforms, were also leading to greater restrictions on the Internet.
"There are very powerful forces that have lined up against the open Internet on all sides and around the world," Brin was quoted as saying. "I am more worried than I have been in the past. It's scary."
He said he was concerned by efforts of countries such as China, Saudi Arabia and Iran to censor and restrict use of the Internet.
Brin said the rise of Facebook and Apple, which have their own proprietary platforms and control access to their users, risked stifling innovation and balkanising the web.

To the editor:
Thank you for the editorial on veterans benefits that go unused (Echo Press, November 15, 2013). The letter from the veteran who was bemoaning the fact that many local restaurants did not offer Veterans Day promotions or discounts was somewhat puzzling to me.

can you learn me to arisaka?
hello all,
I have a gun show coming up soon and I am thinking of either grabbing a Steyr M95 or Japanese arisaka(leaning toward the jap).
I know a little bit about the markings and know where to go to research arsenol markings and such but I do have a couple questions.
what is the main difference between the type 38s and type 99s?
were they all done in 7.7x58 or were there other goof ball calibers to watch out for?
how do you tell the difference between the 99s and 38s? I can look at them and spot an arisaka pretty quickly but I can't really spot a difference in models.
how much should should they cost? I am not looking for sporterized or rechambered guns so I will be looking for original condition models.
were individual parts serialized or just the receivers?
ignore my complete lack of capitalization. I still have no problem correcting your grammar.
I never said half the crap people said I did-

Talk About Old School: Hilarious Prom Photos From Days Gone By
Prom season is a thing of the past for most of us, but as this month sees students around the nation getting decked out in their formalwear finest for high school's take on the red carpet, we can't help but reminisce.
We convinced a few of our POPSUGAR cohorts to share their literal old-school prom pictures from yesteryear. What we found after all the hairspray settled were more than a few ball gowns (remember when Jessica McClintock dresses were all the rage?) and some seriously bizarre tuxes. Prepare to laugh, but a fair warning: even the most dated fashion choices — and tightest french twists — might make you wish you could go back in time and do it all over again.

@Brittney Stephens @Noria Morales Yeah, Noria's looks are both awesome. Love that you drew inspiration from Carolyn Kennedy.

Not as embarrassing as I thought it would be considering all of you ladies are young. Everyone looks so adorable (can't say the same about some of your dates but who cares, right?) I don't know why but I especially love the Nancy's look. It's totally something that I would wear (probably even today..). Question: Marisa how tall are you?? Your legs look sooooooo long. Noria, I totally get wanting Carolyn K's look. You looked beautiful.

I wore the greatest champagne-hued mermaid gown with subtle beading and lace paneling at the bottom. Six years later and I still love it!

This is my new favorite thing. All of these prom photos are just totally awesome. I like how so many of us had a certain style in mind we were attempting (often unsuccessfully) to achieve. Thanks, Michael Dicks for being an awesome prom date.

Which U.S. industries stand to be hurt most by Britain's new 15% levy on imports? What effect would the proposed $500 million cut in excise taxes have on various segments of the U.S. economy?
The answers to such questions have long been difficult or impossible to come by, although the Government is spending millions every year ($118.3 million this fiscal year, up 29% over...
