text: Top 10 Cars for Teens for Under $10,000Sep 1, 2001 (Updated Aug 5, 2002) The Bottom Line When you go shopping for cars try to be certain of your priorities and likes. My list contains good first cars that should appeal to almost everyone. Driving is an awesome privledge that brings with it lots of fun and also some needed advice on purchasing that very important first car that we all can't wait to acquire. I am a 19 year old and have been driving my own car for 2 years now. ('93 Acura Integra Sedan) My goal in this epinion is to give teens several realistic purchasing suggestions that would make for excellent first cars. I feel these choices embody essential qualities, while still considering "good" styling and fun performance. General Qualities to Look for- I feel that there are several qualities that will make a teen's first car more enjoyable and a wiser purchase. These include..... - high reliability (most teens will need their cars to get them through all of high school and hopefully college. But reliability is also very important for used cars that are past their warranteed years. Excessive repairs will defenitly drain your wallet, and if a car becomes too problem ridden to drive, you may have to purchase another car.) - Fuel Economy (an important player in long-term costs.) - Transmission (I recommend automatics in general for new drivers, though those with an opportunity to learn a manual from someone like a parent should do so. I think automatics give a new driver one less thing to worry about, and nowadays there is rarely a worry about seriously hindering accleration or fuel economy. The last couple years have seen the rapid adaptation of 5 and 6-speed automatics and 6-speed manuals, primarily in the more expensive sport sedans, but they are now finding their way into many more models as well. In short, I want to alert people to the fact that they should not expect to find 5-speed autos or 6-speed manuals on most of the cars in this list even ones dating only maybe a couple years. But, you should be sure to get at least a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual. These are certainly plenty prevalent.) - Comfort (you should be able to adjust the seats and mirrors to fit you comfortable. Don't forget to test whether the steering wheel tilts, how far the seat moves, how cool the AC is, etc...) - Safety (safety is one area that should not be overlooked. Unfortunetly teen accident rates are higher,and also, teens should feel more secure knowing they have basic safety protections. Be aware that models from the early '90s may even lack air bags and anti-lock brakes. Fortunately, these were rapidly adopted, though, and most models on the list that are '94 and later should have them, but I recommend you double-check to be sure about whether your car does contain them with the seller, especially anti-lock brakes which were sometimes an extra option. They also may justify a slightly higher price. ) - Handling (This is an important quality that will enable newer drivers to feel more in control. I have found that regular cars are the best in terms of handling) - Smaller better than large (By smaller, I mean generally family size or mid-size and down. I think that smaller cars provide better handling and are easier for a newer driver to manuver safely in tight areas, emergency stops, and parking situations. They are usually more fuel efficient as well. They will also have lower prices than most SUVs. I am not ruling out large cars as good choice, but I think that a teen should definitly take an opportunity to compare it with a smaller car.) Top 10 Cars for Teens: (to efficiently use space and help the reader, I will list top qualities of each marked by a dash- and a few noteworthy negatives marked by a exclamation point! Car generations are listed to help you denote when updates to the model took place. I will only list and consider model years 1988 and later, as earlier is simply too old in my opinion for a new driver.) 1. Honda Civic - Honda's are well-known for high reliability - smaller, but still a nice enough size - cool factor: Honda's are very popular among teens and young adults - will last for many miles - priced very affordably - excellent handling - fuel efficiency, mostly in the 30s, some in the 40s - there are several trim lines, so you can pick one that suits you well (sedan, coupe, hatchback) - high demand means that resale is usually not a problem ! road noise ! fair acceleration/power for some versions. ! rear seat room ! a few older models may come with a 4speed manual 1. 1988-1991 4cyl 62-105hp. Most are in DX/LX/CRX trim with the 92hp engine. Si model has 105hp. Hatchback 70hp 2. 1992-1995 4cyl 70-125hp. Si/EX 125hp, DX/LX/S 102hp, CX hatchback 70hp, VX hatchback 92hp (extremel efficient) 3. 1996-2000 4cyl 106-127hp. CX/DX/LX 106hp. EX 127hp, HX 115hp coupe. 4. 2001- 4cyl 115-160hp. DX/LX 115hp, EX 127hp, Si 160hp 2. Ford Focus - reasonable starting price means you can get an almost new one.($12,000 - 16,000 new) - small and nimble - several different trims and styles will help you get what you need. - a new model: has newer safety features and current styling - fuel economy - very good overall handling and visibility. ! fair reliability so far for this new model ! power/acceleration, SVT more expensive 1. 1999- 4cyl 110-130hp SVT 170 3. Nissan Maxima - upscale nissan model means you get many nice features - power/acceleration excellent - top 10 engine 8 yrs running - even older models, esp. past generation have very nice styling that is still contemporary - a medium sized car that will fit a lot in it - excellent reliability - very popular among all ages; projects a good image - among the most comfortable cars I have sat in - front or back. - This would be my top choice if you can get a good deal on it, but that can be tough, as this car has a very lofty reputation. All model years are very good. ! may need to look back to 95 and earlier for pricing under $10,000 1. 1989-1994 V6 160-190hp 2. 1995-1999 V6 190hp 3. 2000- V6 222-255hp 4. Acura Integra/RSX - an upscale civic - extremely reliable - low depreciation rate - will go many miles(have been known to go 200,000 - 250,000 mi) - sporty coupe/hatchback or sedan available (RS/LS/GS-R/Type R) - costs more than civic, but is still usually reasonbly priced for added features - very popular among high school and college age people - high demand is great for resale - powerful and great handling, with still good fuel economy ! road noise ! rear seat room 1. 1988-1989 4cyl 118hp 2. 1990-1993 4cyl 140hp/GS-R coupe 170hp 3. 1994-2001 4cyl 140hp/GS-R coupe 170hp/Type R 195hp 4. 2002- 4cyl 160-200hp 5. Nissan Altima - Altima is smaller than Maxima, hence more affordable, and still a little bit larger than Civic/Integra. - excellent handling - very good reliability - a practical choice for any kind of driving - widely available - comfortable - performs very well in almost all areas, though not exceptionally. A good starting car. ! So-so interior in second generation, some mundane aspects. 1. 1993-1997 4cyl 150hp 2. 1998-2001 4cyl 155hp 3. 2002- 4cyl 175hp, V6 240hp (huge increase in size) 6. Honda Accord - available in three trim levels(DX,LX, and EX) to suit your liking - mostly reasonably priced(!higher trims can be pricey, esp. V6) - moderately sized, good rear seat space - good handling - low depreciation rate - many on market, so availability is good - past models look good - excellent all-around car - great reliability and has held up well in appearance ! designed to appeal more towards adults, in general ! if you need a V6, go with the Maxima. The accord's just isn't that powerful and is overpriced. Acceleration is fair overall in newer model yrs. 1. 1988-1989 4cyl 98-120hp 2. 1990-1993 4cyl 125-140hp 3. 1994-1997 4cyl 130-145hp 4. 1998-2002 4cyl 150hp : V6 200hp * New model expected for fall of 2003 for both sedan and coupe. 7. Toyota Camry - a nice all-around, medium sized car, rear seat very usable with plenty of space. - top seller for the last several years - good craftsmanship - top-notch reliability 1996 and later, still good reliability in earlier models, but some problems are more frequent so have the mechanic do a careful check. - a few trim levels - low depreciation rate - nice but without frills interior ambiance ! mundane (appearance and tons of them on streets) ! functions very comparatively to most others on list, but popularity means it is often more pricey. 1. 1988-1991 4cyl 115hp, V6 153hp 2. 1992-1996 4cyl 125hp, V6 188hp 3. 1997-2001 4cyl 133hp, V6 194hp 4. 2002- 4cyl 157hp, V6 192hp 8. Nissan Sentra - very affordable vehicle, but you mostly get good stuff for what you pay. - small, but not too small to feel vulnerable - excellent gas mileage - good build quality - great reliability ! lacks personality, very mundane ! fair engine power ! somewhat cramped rear. ! not a whole lot of cargo space ! Absolutely avoid all automatics 88-90, as they are only 3 speed transmission, which is unnecessarily horrendous. Many also have only 4speed manual which is not optimal. 1. 1988-1990 4cyl 90hp (I do not recommend these model yrs) 2. 1991-1994 4cyl 110hp-140hp. I do not recommend "E" trim sedan with 3speed automatic trans, all the rest have fine transmissions. 3. 1995-1999 4cyl 115hp 4. 2000- 4cyl 126-175hp. Most will have 126hp or 145. Sentra SE-R and Spec V have higher outputs. 9. Ford Mustang - very sporty model, hence very cool - nice features, esp. higher trim lines - very powerful/great acceleration - good ride and handling - available in several trim lines and styles - shouldn't be a problem to find one * Reliability generally sound, but avoid model yr 95 if possible, they are more problem prone. ! comfort ! may depreciate more heavily than other choices ! fuel economy 1. 1988-1993 I-4 105hp, V8 225hp 2. 1994-1998 V6 150hp, V8 215-305hp 3. 1999- V6 190hp, V8 260-390hp 10. Volkswagen Jetta - medium size - does most things very well - cool company and cool car - fuel economy - handling - low depreciation ! Reliability fair for some model years ! try hard to get a newer one (96 or sooner). Volkswagen has been making leaps and bounds in its product in recent years. 1. 1988-1992 I-4 52-134hp: all automatics only 3speed 2. 1996-1998 I-4 115hp, fuel efficient TDI I-4 90hp,V6 172hp 3. 1999- I-4 115-180hp, TDI I-4 90hp, V6 201hp Other Good Choices - Chevrolet/Geo Prizm:an economy car that was built in a joint venture between GM and Toyota. Has excellent reliability reputation and functions well, but is an economy car. - Chevrolet Malibu: redesign several yrs back yielded an all-around competent performer that is a family sedan. - Ford Escort: Economy car that preceded the focus. - Mazda Protege: Another economy car that has a good reputation, but does not excel in any one area. - Nissan Sentra: nissan's lowest model in the states. It is a compact. - Toyota Corolla: below a Camry. Little emphasis on style, but has held-up well. - Toyota Celica:a sporty model that well-liked, but a little pricier. I hope this list has been helpful to you. I took a good deal of time and effort to try to help you by providing honest information and opinion. I hope that you end up with a car you really like. *reliability ratings are primarily based on Consumer Reports' Findings. |

The Woyzeck: Acting Like Mad, Theatrical Niche
Woyzeck, an impoverished underdog, only wants to live life peacefully with his girlfriend and child but he will soon discover that society has other plans for him...
Animal Work and Physical Theatre create a magically dystopian universe. Society's exploitation of its weaker members is robustly critiqued in this fiery production, with an original score to complement the eclectic artistry on show.
Based on the true story of a man who murdered his wife for her infidelity, Georg Büchner's unfinished and fragmentary masterpiece is reworked as The Woyzeck. The original's many characters are consolidated into four archetypes - The Lover, The Oppressor, The Commoner and The Woyzeck.
Acting Like Mad and Theatrical Niche Ltd bring this fantastical re-imagining of Büchner's landmark play Woyzeck to regional venues in early 2013, marking its bicentenary year.
The Woyzeck is an original translation and adaptation by Off West End Award Nominee and Peggy Ramsay Grant Recipient, Sebastian Rex.
'A creative new translation... Rex combines the play's Kafkaesque exploration of class and oppression with a modern articulation of the absurd, and though the production's approach tends towards the comical, it also retains Büchner's poignantly bleak meditations on the nature of the self and of society' (Plays To See ).

Bushido Blade 2 (PlayStation) review"In this fighting game from Square(!?), you'll go from one area to another, defeating opponents with one of a few weapons you can pick from. Now, from the sound of that description alone, this sounds like a typical 3D fighting game, like Soul Blade or Tekken, but it's actually quite unique. Neither fighter has a life bar that can be drained away, and both fighters are vulnerable to any attack, so every swing of a weapon can result in instant death. A fight can start, and within seconds, one fight..." |

(Click to see larger) Last week, or was it the week before? It was before this hideous heatwave had settled in, crushing us under it's hot, wet, suffocating, heat. We had a rainy day. Do you remember those? It starts with a freshening wind blowing across the top of the trees. The sky becomes grey and low. You can feel the moisture on your cheeks before the cooling rain spatters on the ground. It's a good thing. Anyway... on this, our last recorded rainy day, I went outside from time to time and took pictures of the clouds. They were roiling and writhing and low in the sky but I was fairly certain there wouldn't be a tornado this time because the weather had cooled down so much and the whole thing had been going on for hours. While I was taking this picture I looked down the street and saw my neighbor cross the street and stare at the yard behind the house next to us. He stood there staring, eyes pointed at the sky, arms tight at his side and he shifted back and forth on his feet. His head whipped around, he stared at me and then his attention was riveted on what ever it was he was seeing behind the house next door. After a few seconds this (see photo below) ground out into view. I snapped a quick picture (click on it to see bigger) and then walked down the street a bit to peak at the whole thing. Wow! Absolutely awesome! I raised my camera and a lightning bolt chose that moment to snap out of the cloud and hit something pretty close by. ZZZZAAPPP! |

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Assessing the full value of mothers
Many people will pay homage to their mothers on Sunday. No matter the distance, flowers will be sent and phones will be ringing as sons and daughters take a few moments to honour the woman who nurtured and cared for them, who was the source and sustenance of life and to acknowledge her sacrifices.
On this day, once a year, we recognize the value of a mother.
But there is, for many, a contradiction that belies our actions. While we rightly honour our mothers on Mother's Day, at the same time we devalue their role.
For example, the recognition and awareness of the crucial role of mothering in a child's healthy development and, consequently, to future generations, is gradually being eroded. It is often seen as a secondary role in the scheme of our busy lives. Social and economic pressures continue to present conflicts for mothers in terms of child care, at the same time attachment theory emphasizes the importance of mothering in the early years.
In Mothering magazine, Dr. Elliott Barker, a Canadian psychiatrist states that "the low status of parenting also gets in the way of adequately nurturing infants and toddlers. Given the importance of the task and how much it contributes to society, it seems clear that parents ought to be venerated. Wouldn't it be nice if the amount of press coverage devoted to industrial and sports heroes could be transferred to people who truly deserve idolization?"
Perhaps we can best assess the value of a mother in the event of her absence. Her loss may be due to an untimely death, or she may be present physically but absent emotionally or psychologically through mental illness or other debilitating disorder. Not until we experience a pain in our inconspicuous little toe or in our unobtrusive thumb, are we even aware of their presence or value to us in our daily lives.
But mothers don't have to be perfect. She, too, was once a child with her own vicissitudes of life. And, like you, she also has her needs and cares as an adult.
Yet, she performs a multitude of activities to ensure her child's needs are met that is a greater challenge and more important than any other undertaking.
We can attempt to delineate her role in three areas, such as support through providing the basic needs physically, emotionally and psychologically; protection from harm along with safety, security and shelter from the emotional storms of life; as well as being a role model that offers guidance as we make our way in the world.
In what way can we define her worth? Do we try to put a monetary value on it? That is impossible because it is priceless.
To this point, I have only described the practical tasks that mothers do. What cannot be seen, but only felt, is the unconditional love that permeates her actions and envelops her child like a warm blanket. And much like Linus in the Peanuts comic strip, he takes it with him wherever he goes. Perhaps the importance of mothers can best be expressed in the words of the child in all of us.
She finds my socks in a rushed morning.
She doesn't yell at me when I make a mistake.
She gives me a hug when I am sad.
She listens to me when I want to tell her something.
She puts my art work on the fridge because they're special.
She reads me a story at bedtime.
She is my friend when I have none.
She makes the best chicken soup.
She makes me wear mittens, and a toque, and a scarf, and boots when it's cold outside, even if I don't want to.
She plays scrabble with me even though I always win.
She cries sometimes but I don't know why.
She holds me when I have bad dreams, when I am afraid of the dark, or when lightning and thunder scare me.
She gives me a hug when I am mad.
She cools my brow when I am sick.
She hurts when I hurt
She kisses me for no reason.
She loves me just because I'm me.
These needs are not just for children. They remain with us all of our lives. We learn how to satisfy them better as we 'mature', but when life overwhelms us, or we feel sad or lonely or frightened, we all hunger for a mother's touch, for a mother's hug, for a mother's love. As Barbra Streisand sings in People, "And yet letting our grown-up pride hide all the need inside."
That is why the most fundamental loss of a mother is the loss of love. A child may recognize who they have lost but not what they have lost. Only in her absence does the impact of the loss become clearer over time. Only in her absence does her value become perceptible. Only when it disappears is the value of a mother deeply felt.
And it is irreplaceable. Perhaps Doris Lessing was right when she pointed out in the CBC Massey lectures that, "what we have we take for granted. What we are used to, we cease to value."
To those who are fortunate to still have mothers in their lives, be thankful, and let her know how much she is cherished. For those who don't, treasure the memories that have become even more precious.
And for those who are themselves mothers, you have undertaken the most difficult but important task of life with all its joys and sorrows. You have taken on the most valuable contribution to society and its future, as well. So, to mothers and to those who 'mother,' we honour you.

So will these rims with a 315/35/20 tire fit under a Mustang GT that has been lowered?
Be the First to Answer This Question Good Question (0) (0)will these 20x11's tuck on a dropped 2013 gt? I plan on dropping an 1.5" front and back, if they won't tuck what can I do as far as offset to make it work?
Good Question (1) (0)They tuck just fine on my 2013 GT with the Eibach Sportline springs (2" drop). I have the staggered CS1s with the same tire sizes and they fit without any rub and fill all the wheel wells. Looks great.
Will this fit a lowered 2011 GT500? I'll considering the CS1 20x9/11 kit on my 2011 GT500. The car will be lowered using Ford Racing springs soon. Just want to make sure sure there wont be any fitment issues. Any feedback is much appreciated. THX, Barry
Good Question (0) (0)I have these on my 2013 GT with Eibach Sportline lowering springs (about a 2" drop) and did not have any clearance issues or rubbing, even at full turning radius. They also fill the wheel wells nicely and do not stick out beyond the side of the car. Great fit and look.

Installation Cost:$500-$1000

Delivery was reasonable. two rims had a scratch or two and one had a penny size scuff down to metal. contacted AM for some touch up - and they did better and offered to have it repainted. The wheels look fantastic on my 07 GT vert.

aggressive look
July 16, 2014
great looks and fit. the 11" backs have helped car hook up better. use acorn lugs, spline lugs go to deep, learned this the hard way
Installation Time: Afternoon
Great combo for higher HP hook up
August 28, 2013
The staggered 20x9 front, 20x11 rear makes an excellent choice for increasing hook up for your higher horsepower (supercharged) Mustang. The look of the Shelby wheels is just amazing, and the Nitto tires work fantastic. No problems with wheel well clearance on my Boss, and no problems with turning radius either. One wheel was shipped a little scuffed, but American Muscle replaced it in one day, so I have to say, American Muscle is THE place to upfit your Mustang. Period.
Installation Time: Less than 1 Hour
These wheels give a car a sinister look!
May 11, 2013
My neighbor told me the day I brought it home that this car makes a statement. Done Carroll Shelby proud, I hope! They are easy to clean and look at! Thank you, American Muscle!

"Post hoc ergo propter hoc" is Latin for "after it, therefore because of it". That it comes from Latin should indicate how far back that particular fallacy can be traced. Yet ever since Apple launched the original iPhone in 2007, it has been the point of comparison for every flagship phone, from every manufacturer, on every carrier, that's followed. Just like "post hoc ergo propter hoc" isn't often true, "post iPhone ergo propter iPhone" isn't always true. Yet time after time, phone after phone, everything from hardware design to software features is taken as derived from, or as being a response to, the iPhone.

Derek Kessler over at PreCentral.net has reviewed the hell out of the webOS Pre3, the no-longer-going-to-be-released iPhone competitor that HP bought from Palm only to leave broken and strewn across a mountain of mismanagement and corporate incompetence.
This could have been the great hurrah for webOS smartphones. The Pre3 could actually have stood a chance against the might of the iPhone and Android behemoths. Instead, it's not even made it into the arena, let alone the ring. It demonstrates what the Palm team was truly capableof building a great smartphone with the right resources at their backs. Too bad the support wasn't there too.
After reading the news Precentral.net broke about Palm once again being split into separate software (likely to wither) and hardware (likely to die) units, it made me wish we could get a new show on FOX this fall called "Jobs' Business Nightmare". Just like the Gordon Ramsay cooking show, Steve Jobs could tackle another bumbling, downward spiraling tech company each week, shake them up, reorganize their product matrixes, and turn them back towards the path to success. Just like he did with Apple. HP could be the pilot.
Derek Kessler, writing for sister site PreCentral.net:
May 15th should prove to be an interesting day on AT&T. They've got two new smartphone launches planned, and they couldn't be more different. First up is a phone near and dear to our hearts: the iddy biddy HP Veer 4G. Threatening to overshadown the Veer, in the most literal sense, is yet another Android mega-phone: the Samsung Infuse 4G. This massive phone is faced with a ridiculous 4.5-inch screen. It's downright frightening in comparison to the Veer.
One look at the games being released for this season and it's easy to think we're entering into the next great generation of iPhone (and iPad) gaming. Infinity Blade has brought Epic's Unreal 3 Engine to iOS in grand fashion, with spectacular, real-time environments, fun gameplay, and character models and motion that would have blown me away on a PS2, let alone a handheld device that also surfs the web and makes phone calls. In a day or so we'll also get Real Racing 2, sequel to Firemint's Apple Design Award Winning driver, complete with 30 licensed, gorgeously reproduced cars and highly anticipated multiplayer online gaming.
These are features that, until now, were reserved for PC and console games. They're premium titles, the kind that take the time and effort of small scale motion pictures to make. They're what's putting a hurt on Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS business, never mind other smartphones. And they're on our iPhone, with more and more to come.
In a market where other platforms are now achieving 3rd party software parity with Apple -- they have enough of the kind of applications people want on their mobile devices that tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are quantitative but no longer qualitative differentiators -- and raw hardware specs that equal and may soon eclipse iPhone 4, these kinds of games could be the iPhone's killer apps and Apple's next short term differentiator.
HP/Palm have officially announced webOS 2.0 and the Palm Pre 2. Dieter, covering it for our sibling site PreCentral.net, says:
Palm webOS news often seems to land right before Apple iPhone news and while we're waiting for tomorrow's Apple special music event and iOS 4.1 announcement, PreCentral.net's gotten the scoop on what's coming later this year for webOS 2.0:
Derek Kessler over at sibling site PreCentral.net let us know that developer logs are showing traces of webOS 2.0 supporting the same 960x640 resolution as Apple's iPhone 4 Retina Display:
iPhone 4 with its 960x640 retina display, easy-peasy FaceTime video calling, high quality 5 megapixel, back-illuminated camera that shoots 720p 30fps video, and the silky smoothness of iOS 4 convincing you to switch from Palm's Pre or Pixi to Apple's newest handset? Worried about moving over your personal data like contacts, finding apps, getting used to the differences? Wondering where to get help?
Relax. You're in the the right place. Follow along after the break for everything you need to know (more properly, everything the <a href=http://forums.imore.com/iphone-forum/191973-official-switching-palm-webos-iphone-4-thread.html">TiPb iPhone Forums have taught us) about switching from Android to iPhone 4 and iOS 4.
(And yes, we've done Android, Windows Phone</a, and BlackBerry switcher guides as well).
It should come as no surprise that both Palm webOS and Google Android want iPhone developers on their platform. Mac developers have long been as passionate about their platform and incredibly talented in the apps they've delivered, and a lot of that has transferred over to iOS devices like the iPhone and now iPad.
Whether or not Apple is engaged in a platform war with Palm and Google it's inarguable that the current generation of users want apps and right now Apple has an advantage in that area. Part of getting people to switch to another platform is making sure the apps they love are on that platform, and that means big name apps and fan favorites alike.

Madhu Malkani | November 9, 2010 | Comments
Digital analytics only give an overview of what's happening to the campaign. To drive results, optimise in the following ways.
Books on customer relationship management (CRM) emphasise the importance of learning about your customers to better cater to their needs. Profiles of similar customers are clustered and strategies are formulated based on these segments.
Similarly with digital analytics, aggregate data only gives you the overview of what is happening on the website or digital campaign. To improve or optimise site or campaign performance, the data must be sliced and diced.
One way is to segment by traffic source or the channel through which the site visitors come from. If tagged properly, the Web tracking tool should track exactly where the visitor came to the site from, whether it's organic search, paid search, display ads, eDMs, or directly.
These channels can be further sliced to identify better performing keywords, banners (further segmented by media placement, format, size, and creative), eDM designs, etc.
Determine which channel and sub-channel deliver better results – maximise these. If banner creative A is performing better than banner creative B, then move media dollars to creative B during the campaign to get the biggest bang for your buck.
Furthermore, determine which channels are under-delivering and optimise those. For example, if an email campaign performed worse than email campaigns in the past, try to understand why it might be the case and learn from this. Ensure you are not just measuring open rates and CTRs but end goal conversion as well.
Behavioural and Engagement
Conversion on site can also be segmented by the content that visitors consume – the pages that visitors have seen before converting, products they have purchased, products they have added to a cart but abandoned, email campaigns they have responded to, high value customers, and so on.
If you have an e-commerce site, certain Web tracking tools may be able to combine customer demographic and psychographic information to better target customers with offers that they are likely to buy. Such as email visitors with discounted offers for products they have abandoned in cart while on the site.
Additionally, offering cross-sell product information for visitors who have bought similar products can lead to higher average order values.
Return vs. New
This is one of the simplest ways to segment customers to understand their behaviour. Typically, return visitors are more likely to convert to a final goal on site like sales more so than new visitors. Furthermore, previous buyers can have an even higher conversion rate than new buyers.
When we examine this simple segmentation on one of our clients, it seemed that only new visitors had the highest goal conversion and very few returning visitors were converting. But after further investigation, most of the returning visitors were coming in through email newsletters where the eDM links were driving to only specific news landing pages. Most visitors left after reading the update on the landing page and it was as simple as adding links for call to action on the news landing pages to improve conversion.

About Hydration Systems
Letting yourself get dehydrated is the quickest way to compromise your performance and ruin your fun. A hydration system lets you carry a good amount (usually 2 or 3 litres) of water without interfering with your hands and with a convenient valve to drink from whenever you like. During intensive exercise, you'll need to drink around 1 litre of water every hour which means sipping little and often - much easier if you don't have to stop what you're doing and locate a bottle. Adding an energy drink to the water makes the process even more effective and can enhance performance. Make sure you choose a cleaning kit to go with your system or you'll be buying a new reservoir regularly! Different systems combine varying amounts of hydration capacity with a wide variety of cargo options, meaning you can carry everything from an energy bar to all the gear you need for a full day out.

Hi all, good discutions!
Talking about thrust angle, my opinion is depend on what phase you spot on. The thrust center and angle, the main wing lift center and the gravity center are not on one line, as ICON is not a stunt plane but a scale seaplane. My attention is to get smooth transition from taxing to planing and smooth landing on the water. ICON's nose has not enough length from CG to forward. When you sudden power up at floating or in low speed taxing, it makes nose sedimentation into the water. This is because ICON's thrust center is high enough from the bouyancy center. Its distance is big enough to nose down. The thrust force is to be big rotation power around buoyancy center, thrust up is available for against nose down, I think. But too big up thrust seems to be not good. If backwash from the propeller doesn't hit holizontal fin, elevator works dificult to nose up. ICON's horizontal stabilizer mounts on the top of the vertical fin, too up-thrust may not work an elevator control well. In flying, thrust center and main wing lift center may change according to its flight speed, as ICON's airfoil is not symmetrical. In any speed, suitable elevator neutral position will be found when you want to fly in horzontal flight. This may be discribed by fluid dynamics balance. I suspect the correct simulation solution is complicated, as you have to calculate in non-constant and disturbed flow in 3D model. Actually, the balance between weight, lift and thrust power, is exist, as this model plane has enough power. PS. My ICON has enough up-thrust though, it's able to inverted flight. Outside loop is impossible, I don't expect, though. Shige |

Has anyone removed the retract gear and can you give a hint on how you did it. I will be using my Icon A5 only for float flying and my gear drags so much I can't get off the water. Since I won't ever use the gear I'd like to remove them and re-balance. Any suggestions would be a great help - thanks

Tried to take off from water yesterday with my 80". Didnt work, couldn't get enough speed up. Seems like like too much drag from the rear gear.
Update After I taped up the nose gear hole I could rotate from water in about 30 feet or 10 meters for you metric folks. Looks like I need to make a door for the nose gear. |

Duiwelskantoor. ....................................................................................................... A few years later Mr. Cameron put a man in charge of the mill and set off to seek his fortune at the Gold Diggings which had been proclaimed at Duiwelskantoor in the Barberton district. Mrs. Cameron with the four children, for Bessie and Lionel had been born at Potchefstroom, went to her parents in Pretoria. After some months had elapsed, Mr. Ziervogel, the Commissioner for the Gold Fields, sent her a telegram summoning her to the diggings as her husband was dangerously ill. On receiving the bad news, she made hurried preparations for the long journey and taking her baby, Lionel, with her, set out as soon as possible by coach. In this way she travelled as far as Middelburg where she heard that two wagons had left for Duiwelskantoor the previous day. With the object of overtaking these she managed to hire a cart and horses and started off in pursuit at dawn next morning. She retains a very vivid picture in her mind of the native driver of the cart as he closely resembled an ourang-outan in appearance. Great was her relief when they overtook the wagons at eight o'clock in the evening, as in her anxiety to catch up with them the journey from Middelburg had seemed tedious beyond description. The wagons, owned by Dreyer and Groenewald who were accompanied by an English youth named Frank, did not follow the usual route but proceeded along a little-used farm road consisting of mere rough tracks which further on pursued a winding course through the picturesque Godwan Valley. The men gave up the vehicle that had the katel in it to Mrs. Cameron and her babe. That evening they met two small wagons owned by some Boers who were returning from Duiwelskantoor. She asked them whence they came and they replied: "Uit die hel en more gaan julle die hel in." ("Out of hell and to-morrow you will enter hell.") Next morning she appreciated this description for she and her companions reached a place that seemed utterly impassable. It was so dreadful that it beggars description. Carrying her baby, she set off on foot, accompanied by Frank. After their departure,the front wagon, the one in which she had been travelling, was completely unloaded and all the oxen but the two hindmost, which had to guide the vehicle, were outspanned. The brake was put on and the back wheels were tied with chains to the buck. Riems were fastened to the one side of the buck and all the men-folk, including the native drivers and touleiers, hung on to these to prevent the vehicle from capsizing, if possible, ad it passed over the dreadful place which slanted steeply to one side. The two oxen were started off and the men strained at the riems with might and main, a sudden rush, and the wagon seemed to balance itself on two wheels, a breathless second of anxiety, then the vehicle righted itself and was safely out of the danger zone. Roundabout lay many evidences of accidents. Here a broken wheel, there a piece of rotting tent-sail bore witness to the numerous conveyances that had come to grief there. When the first wagon reached the place where Mrs. Cameron and Frank were waiting, the former put the baby on the katel, and with the aid of the youth set about making a fire so as to have hot, refreshing coffee ready for the men when they should return with the second vehicle. On looking up after having stooped to see if the water was boiling, she felt as though her blood was freezing for she saw a native in full war-paint, with assegaais, knopkierie and skin shield complete, coming through the trees towards her. Back to her mind in a flash rushed the reports they had heard of the Swazis being on the war-path against the followers of Sekukuni. In her mind's eye she saw Dreyer and Groenewald carefully cleaning their guns the previous evening so as to be prepared in case of their meeting a Swazi impi (a band of natives on the war-path). Surely she was face to face with one of these savage hordes. Terrified, she shouted to Frank but got no response and could see him nowhere. Hastily she threw a covering over the baby, advanced to the front of the wagon, and with her heart beating great, hammering, suffocating thumps waited the approach of the kaffir. No impi followed him so with an air of bravado she shouted out, "Sakubona!" ("Good day"). The native responded in a friendly tone and she breathed more freely. He came up to the wagon and asked her if she had seen some oxen which had strayed. He gave her a minute description of them in his own tongue and stated that he had been searching for them for several days. By the time he had finished speaking her heart began to beat in normal fashion. On being informed that she had not seen the lost animals, he strolled leisurely away. When he had departed she set about looking for Frank and after a short search found him hiding in a hollow among some tamboekie grass which was quite ten feet high. By this time the water was boiling merrily and the second wagon had arrived in safety. When the travellers had partaken of the fragrant coffee they rested awhile, after which the wagons were reloaded and the journey resumed. The mountains with the Godwan River winding among them made a wonderful picture. The stream flowed with so many curves that the travellers had to cross it six times in all. At one such crossing a crowd returning from the diggings was on one side of the river while Mrs. Cameron and her companions were on the other side. Both parties spent the whole day rolling rocks away to make the road through the stream passable. When the crossing was considered safe, Mrs. Cameron in the tented wagon passed over first and all went well. Then the second vehicle entered the water but stuck fast in mid-stream, and the men had to wade in and carry off the greater part of the load. An extra span of oxen was hitched on, and, amidst shouts of encouragement and the loud clapping of the long whip, the willing animals, straining every muscle in a mighty effort, jerked the wagon forward, but alas, one of the big hind oxen was killed in the struggle. Mrs. Cameron, greatly interested in the Gold Fields, asked the returning diggers innumerable questions but the replies were all most discouraging. A little further on she was met by a Mr. Zeederberg with cart and horses. The Commissioner, knowing the circumstances, had kindly sent this quicker means of transport to make the last part of the journey less tedious for her. The cart went up hill and down dale. The road was dreadful, in fact in many places it seemed utterly impossible for them to get through in safety, but the journey was completed without mishap. The scenery was grand. They reached a place called Rebels' Camp, and, as there was no trace of a road from this spot, it was impossible to continue by cart so they proceeded on foot, a couple of natives carrying the baggage. A short distance ahead there was a natural gateway through a huge rock which had trees on either side of it. Just beyond this the picturesque mountain crags looked like a wonderful, old castle, the gateway forming an artistic, rocky entrance to its grounds. The travellers passed through this portal and arrived at a hut, the inmates of which not only gave them welcome refreshment but also provided them with a native boy to carry Lionel. Mrs. Cameron was very grateful as her arms were aching with the weight of the babe after the arduous walk. From here it was only a short distance to her destination where she was warmly welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Ziervogel with whom she stayed during her sojourn at the diggings. Their home was a big, unlined tent. They were extremely hospitable and after she had had some supper, her host accompanied her to her husband's bed-side. She stayed with Mr. Cameron, who had already passed the crisis and was on the mend, a short while and then |

The curious case of the eroding eikaiwa salary. Now fraught with job insecurity and low pay, there was a time when the work was steady and salaries were high for those who taught English in Japan. Around the turn of the millennium, salaries and work conditions for English teachers in Japan began a downward trend — one that has now spilled into the '10s and shows no signs of slowing, let alone reversing.

STAR WOLF, or, he tried to kill me with a forklift!
スターウルフ, "Star Wolf," was a half-hour sci-fi TV show produced and aired in Japan in 1978. (TV Tropes page -- addiction warning) It had somewhat cheesy special effects, understandable being a TV series made just one year after Star Wars, but it made up for it with style, energy, and ACTION PACKED MUSIC.

In the year and a half since the earthquake and tsunami caused an industry-wide Japanese nuclear shutdown , Japanese consumers and businesses have been urged to conserve energy whenever possible. Although a few reactors are being brought back online temporarily, the Japanese government has pledged to move away from nuclear power sources. Yesterday the Japanese government announced what may be the world's highest solar photovolatic feed-in tariff at 53 cents per kWh generated. [more inside]
The Art of the Netsuke Lives On
"[N]early all Japanese people have figurines, anime or cartoon characters hanging from their mobile phones — for the most part without realizing they are in their mass-produced, contemporary way keeping alive the nation's netsuke tradition.

Don't you know what table tennis is? Come on. I'll teach you.
Taiyo Matsumoto's original five volume manga Ping Pong was one of the most surprising and gripping experiences I've had this year. But a huge reason for that is the artwork: he packs more kinetic energy into a single drawing of a shoe skidding across a floor than any real shoe has ever had. So it was with some trepidation that I saw posters for this adaptation going up in stores around Japan. Fumihiko Masuri is a first time director (not that you'd know it), with a background in computer effects. He seems to have directed this mainly because he's a really big fan of the manga too. On the film's website, they've placed images from the manga next to photographs of the actors in the film, so you can see how obsessive compulsive they were in matching faces. Not only faces, but movements, playing styles, and shot composition is all straight from the book, as if they'd used the manga in lieu of storyboards. Even the occasional surreal touch; a boy growing butterfly wings, a dragonfly landing on the net, is right out of the page onto the screen. -- Midnight Eye review; subtitled movie in 12 parts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

"That will be the end"
A month ago, the Japanese TV show "Morning Bird" discussed the current state of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, and specifically Unit 4, which is in terrible condition. During an interview with Dr. Hiroaki Koide, Research Associate at the Research Reactor Institute of Kyoto University, who explains the immense difficulty in moving the radioactive fuel rods - a process that will not even start until 2013 - the presenter asks what would happen if even a moderate earthquake struck near the plant before the fuel rods can be moved. Koide replies:
That will be the end.

TETSUUUOOOO!!!....'s creator returns
In 1982 the manga, Akira (previously) , began its run. It would ultimately spawn a film that would lead the way for the growth of the anime medium outside of Japan. An attempted Americanized remake (previouslyer) was in production before being ultimately canceled.

The Nakagin Capsule Tower (slyt) is a prime example of the uniquely Japanese architecture known as "Metabolism", as well as the main inspiration for Tokyo's famous Capsule Hotels. The most unique feature of this building style is the interchangeability of the individual units, supposedly to allow it to adapt to changes in density and lifestyle (although that plan hasn't exactly panned out). Local residents are calling for the tower to be demolished, although a group of architects are trying to preserve it as an architectural landmark [more inside]

The Great Tohoku Earworm of 2011
Following the March 2011 earthquake in Japan, commercials largely disappeared from television. To fill space between the news reports and lists of missing people, the Ad Council of Japan put together a number of PSAs. Since there were only five or ten of them, the PSAs played thousands of times over the course of a few months, searing themselves into the memory of the Japanese public. Most were typical messages about common courtesy, perseverance, listening to your kids, conservation, and international support. But one PSA in particular quickly took on a life of its own, instantly being mashed up with a classic Japanese TV trope: Robot Transformation Sequences! [more inside]

What Has Piracy Done For Anime?
In 2000, the anime industry was on the brink of what looked like a global takeover, and was pushing live action movies to the side. However, trouble began to take hold just a few years later, when labour issues involving long hours and low pay, along with a sharp drop in anime DVD sales, began to cause serious trouble for the industry. Although some government officials pinned their hopes in beefing up exports in order to breathe life into the economy, to industry insiders the situation looked bleak and possibly unresolvable using traditional models. However, other avenues - such as the internet, and even internet piracy - were studied for their economic effects. The results? [more inside]

Tsunami Drive-By
Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries when the 11 March 2011 earthquake hit in Japan. Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far inland the Tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job.

He escaped from the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk underwater.
