New Japanese Design
Eat. Work. Shop.
New Japanese Design
Vibrant color photography and compelling text make this the ultimate guide to modern Japanese life. Seven of the country's foremost architects showcase their ideas in 34 shops, restaurants, salons, bars and spas. The architecture and interior designs are uniquely Japanese and will add a distinctive flair to any retail, office or retail design project.
In collaboration with a new generation of entrepreneurs, these designers are reshaping basic concepts of how contemporary Japanese eat, work and shop. Beautifully illustrated with over 250 photos, the locations in this book reflect everything from postmodern industrialism to suggestive eroticism. A whole new language of design, propelled by the Japanese penchants for innovation, has given this generation a carte blanche to redefine Japan as the world's next cultural superpower, unhindered by the barriers of tradition.

VIEWS: 52 PAGES: 3 CATEGORY: Online Business POSTED ON: 4/28/2012
It is quite confusing to read mails in your inbox that claim to make you a millionaire overnight just by few clicks of your mouse. Don't get into this crap. Internet marketing requires the same amount of efforts, if not more, like any other business. In addition, it also requires skills and know-how and above all an aptitude to learn the secrets of business. Yes, once you have mastered it sky is the limit.
My First 100 Days in Quest Of Internet Marketing Secrets! BY: RAM GUPTA An internet guru does not pen down what you are going to read in the following lines and pares. These are the real life experiences of a beginner and could be useful for you, if you too are a beginner. To top it all, the beginner is very new to the area of online marketing business and even to the web world. Any jargons used in the article have been picked up in the last about one hundred or so odd days. There was a big dilemma in my life after retiring from the job. One did not want to sit idle as one tends to age if he is not meaningfully occupied. One fine day while checking the mails, I came across a mail from an unknown source. Normally this would have seen the trash folder but I do not know why, I opened it. It was surprisingly a long mail scrolling down to several pages. The heading or the title made me read the full mail. This innocent looking mail was about how someone at the age of eighteen made over a couple of thousand dollars in a week. Amazing, I thought. The mail was a product promotion of some software promising you that you could also repeat the fete of the young boy. It also said that one did not need any technical knowledge, no experience, and no investment except in purchase of that particular soft ware. All it asked was if one knew how to operate the mouse or to make few clicks. After lot of thinking, I went back to the mail, gathered the courage and bought the product. Prompt came the product by a simple download. Eager and inquisitive as I was, I opened the soft ware and read the instructions at least ten times. Fifty percent of the terms were jargons like PPC, PPV, key words, back links, hop links, HTML, MLM, Network Marketing, Online Marketing etc. Etc. They did not make any sense to me. Until then I knew computer only as a tool to send and receive mails and sometimes to make some simple searches on the Google. Not knowing what to do next, I made a promise to myself. Not to give up, if an eighteen year old can make thousands, let me at least make a couple of hundred. My learning curve begins that day. One great myth about on line marketing and internet marketing business was exposed; it did require knowledge, experience and time. The network marketing business also required some initial investment in buying online marketing tools to understand and operate the business. One cannot sit on the computer for half an hour a day and make millions.

Getting Off the Deportation Train, One State at a Time
While the Obama administration's immigration enforcement machine hurtles forward like a runaway train, law enforcement officials in progressive states have been jumping off en masse. Getting mixed up with federal immigration enforcement hasn't gotten locals anywhere but into trouble with immigrant communities fearful of deportation if they cooperate with police, local officials protective of their budgets, and most recently with the courts. Now, a red state has joined the growing rebellion against local-federal entanglements and it's a surprising one: Kansas.
The red state could represent a new front in the fight to protect immigrants' civil liberties as well as those of citizens who might mistakenly be held by police because of a flimsy request from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Here's some background. In April, a federal judge in Oregon made it perfectly clear that a local county violated the rights of Maria Miranda-Olivares when the sheriff's department chose to honor a detainer, or "hold," requested by ICE. And since it was the County's choice to hold her, it could cost them, too. This prompted sheriffs throughout the state to refuse to hold people for ICE unless the request is supported by a judicial warrant. Seeing what happened in Oregon, sheriffs in Washington state soon followed suit, as well as law enforcement in Pennsylvania, Colorado, California. and Massachusetts.
And then came Kansas. In Shawnee County, where the state capital of Topeka is located, law enforcement last month chose to stop automatically holding people beyond their appointed time so ICE could investigate them. Brian W. Cole, director of the Shawnee County Department of Corrections, said in a letter to the ACLU that "It is our desire never to hold a person beyond the period for which proper lawful authority exists…for now, we will err on the side of the protection of individual liberties." Beyond Shawnee, two other counties are taking steps to limit their entanglement with ICE holds.
Local law enforcement agencies have good reason to be skeptical of these ICE requests. They've been a pain in the pocketbook for local law enforcement long before now. ICE often takes a "detain first, investigate later" approach to its job, which ends up getting the local officers or localities sued. Local police in Pennsylvania held Ernesto Galarza for ICE, only to find out later that he was a U.S. citizen. And unfortunately for the officials of Lehigh County, the court found that they were still liable for the mistakenly issued detainer.
After the Oregon court decision, Sheriff Gary Bettencourt, the president of the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association, said plainly, "We will no longer violate anybody's constitutional rights, I can guarantee that." Chalk one up for civil liberties. And thanks to like-minded folks in Kansas, Kris Kobach – the state's secretary of state and author of many anti-immigrant ordinances and state laws, including Arizona's SB1070 – now goes to work every day in a county with a limited detainer policy.
Realizing that they have a choice in the matter and that they've gotten a raw deal from ICE, sheriffs across the country, now in both a red state as well as numerous blue states, are taking a stand to defend the taxpayer, their communities, and the Constitution. We're happy to be their partner in doing just that.

Conversing about bass fishing

Bass fishermen can be outspoken at times, and especially so when it comes to favorite lures, techniques and related topics. Everybody has an opinion on the nuances of prespawn, the headaches of post-cold fronts, and whether it's best to use superlines or fluorocarbons for specific situations.
The debates run wide open at tackle stores, boat ramps, weigh-ins and bass club meetings. A few years ago, the World Wide Web added a new dimension to the communications pipeline in the form of the ...

39 year old man | Mentone, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-36 within 20 miles of Yucaipa, CA
Not sure what I'm looking for, but not looking isn't working for me. Maybe finding someone doesn't have to be difficult.
I'm a nice guy looking for a nice girl. Someone looking for a relationship. Ive spent the last eleven years in a relationship and found I prefer having someone to share lives with as opposed to being alone. The bar and club scene don't appear to offer what I'm looking for In a partner. I'm not a sports guy, watching or participating, more of geek. Into technology and science friction. Use to go to the San Diego comic on every year but quit since the crowd for the television mini series crap has turned the place to madness. I do miss it. I work as tech fixing and installing security doors and cameras. I'm also a freelance artist, and do a bit of graphic design on the side. My hobbies include drawing manga comics, building sci-fi 3-d models and learning to program video games.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Video games
Golf, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs
My dog is a white poodle named Mikey
Some other viewpoint
Forest Falls, Big Bear
I'm a comic book artist, so my interests tend to relate to things most would consider for children. Comic Books, Animation, Video Games.
I like a movie now and then, when there's a good one out. Not much for watching live or televised.
The final Harry Potter book.

Gun Maker Opening Plant in Huntsville
A plan by Remington Outdoor Co. to open a plant in Huntsville that could employ thousands of workers has won the support of Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions. In a statement Sunday, Sessions said his office warmly welcomes the firearms manufacturer, and looks forward to the company's long-term success in the area. The company also makes ammunition and accessories. Sessions says the company's decision to open a plant in Huntsville "is great news and a further testament to the world class workforce" in the city. Although Remington officials haven't officially announced the deal, Gov. Robert Bentley told AL.com that an announcement is expected early this week.

The Fairmont Dallas Wants You To Be An Oil Baron For A Day
Some of us are old enough (gulp) to remember the evening soap Dallas which began in the 1970s and ended in 1991. In it, that darn oil-rich Ewing family was always getting into trouble, but boy, did they live life to the fullest. However, if you happen to be one of the lucky ones who doesn't remember the original show, you, too, can become a believer: We hear that the new version of Dallas has just been renewed by TNT for a second season.
To celebrate, The Fairmont Dallas wants you to try out the Ewing lifestyle with their "Dallas Oil Baron Experience" package. With the recent news of Larry Hagman's passing, maybe this is a way to let folks honor the 81-year-old actor's most memorable character, so we say, "go for it."
The package offers a minimum of two nights' accommodation in a Fairmont Gold Room; access to the Fairmont Gold Lounge with its complimentary breaky and afternoon appies; a private tour for two of Southfork Ranch – the Ewing family's abode; champagne; and a ride in a chauffeured BMW to Neiman Marcus for some shopping therapy. And because you're special, you even get a signed copy of the Neiman Marcus Taste cookbook as a memento of your weekend of wealth.
Rates for the "Dallas Oil Baron Experience" package start at $469/night. Oh, and don't forget your cowboy boots. The hotel doesn't say they're necessary, but if you're going to walk the walk….

Love Is...Swan Matrimony In Embassy Suites Lobbies
Craving "Swans a Swimming" this holiday season? Well you're in luck, as we've found eight Embassy Suites Hotels that feature mated pairs of Royal Swans swimming year-round in their atrium lobbies.
Real live swans? Yes! At first glance, their serenity is surprising—after all, they're being kept in captivity. Yet these swans are happily coupled up and swimming to-and-fro in their lobby ponds without a care in the world. In fact, most of the day, they're sleeping. With all that peace, elegance, and togetherness (they mate for life)--perhaps married couples should take notes!
We take a sweet look at the animal love stories:

Musicians Can Get Kozy In A Trailer In West Texas This Month
Built on a 17 acre tract of land outside of Marfa, TX, El Cosmico is more than just a hotel—teepees, yurts, and campsites are all available for guests to stay in. But on the hotel side of things, the site offers five funky restored vintage trailers, each named Vagabond, Branstrator, Royal Mansion, Imperial Mansion, and Kozy Coach (pictured above).
We think the spot is pretty much ideal for the kind of low-key, long weekend, artsy getaway we love, but later this month, the hotel/campground is hosting a "songwriter's retreat" that should prove irresistible to music-makers and -lovers alike.
Titled "Music Is A Family," (May 17-20), the retreat will offer musicians the chance to hone their songwriting skills, while enjoying a whole weekend of guitar-strumming in the desert and impromptu campfire jam sessions. Si, seńor!

When Bad Revolving Floors Happen To Good People
Or is it the other way around...?
We didn't think it was possible to have a bad time at a revolving restaurant on top of a hotel, but one family in Katy, TX has found a way. Back In October, reports The Houston Chronicle, while dining at Spindeltop atop the Hyatt Regency Houston with her parents, a four-year-old girl got her foot stuck in the gap between the slowly-rotating floor and the window. A few panic-stricken moments ensued as they struggled to free her, but luckily the girl came away with her foot intact, and only a few lacerations. Scary!
The bad news? The family is now suing Hyatt for the incident, claiming the gap didn't have any warning signs, and that the hotel handled the situation badly.
Well, gee.

Old-School Roadside Motor Court Hotels Will Soon Be Popping Up All Over Southeastern USA
Nevermind the untold legions of Best Westerns, La Quinta Inns and Econolodges that dot highways all around the country. A Texas-based hotel company is attempting to bring back the classic American motor court with a new brand of "ranch tech" properties that are modeled on the old roadside motels from the 1950s.
Which technically went out of style in the 60s during Eisenhower's Federal Aid Highway Act. But hey, that was fifty years ago, and who's to say Americans still can't be thrilled by a cool motel concept? The first of these, named the Lone Star Court, will open in Austin in 2013, and, appropriately, will feature live music, a fire pit, and a dipping pool.

Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Lodgings Down on The Prairie
Rachel Ashwell, the Queen of Shabby Chic, not only does furniture but she does hotels too. Well, she does at least one hotel, which is actually more a country bed and breakfast--The Prairie down in Round Top, Texas about an hour and a half from Austin.
You can read the story behind The Prairie and how Rachel Ashwell came about owning it here but as expected, the place is full of shabby chic decor like vintage fixtures, faded flowery linens, crystal chandeliers and even floral hats for the deer hanging on the walls.
My vision for the inn was to balance the sweeping, rustic, primitive soul of the architecture of the five houses and 46 acres of beautiful open landscape with a certain "Marie Antoinette" touch.
Comfy Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture sofas and crystal chandeliers are mixed with tattered lampshades, vintage fixtures and original floorboards. The taxidermy that came with the property has been brought into my fold by being crowned with lovely floral vintage hats.

Omni Dallas: It's Definitely Opening, And It's Definitely Got An Infinity Pool
Omni Dallas, which is set to open on 11/11/11, will include an infinity pool
Whoever said 11/11/11 would mark a pivotal world-changing event must have been cc'd on development memos issued from Omni Hotels' corporate office. That is to say, Omni's latest creation, Omni Dallas, a 1,001-room convention hotel on South Lamar St, will be opening on the portentous date—and with $111 rates, no less.
As part of the "Definitely Dallas" package (this name is putting dirty thoughts into our head), guests who book rooms through December 30, 2011 will receive $111 deluxe guest rooms. Inside the rooms, you'll find a 111-inch flat-screen TV; and on top of the beds, you'll rest your head on 111 pillows. And in the bathroom....OK, we're just kidding. In fact, the bathrooms do come with mirror TVs (which we remain undecided over), and the rooms all feature pieces by local artists.

Paper Airplane-Making Lessons With Your Room: Inside The Sparhawk Gallery B&B, Texas
Bored of cutesey B&Bs and faceless motels? We feel your pain. Want to sleep where Elvis once did? Us too. That's how we ended up making an unscheduled stop in Abilene, Texas last week. Not because we wanted to visit Abilene, but because of a place to stay that sounded pretty special: the Sparhawk Art Gallery B&B.
In its previous incarnation as the 1930s Sunset Lodge Motel, it was Abilene's premiere motel and the place of choice for the likes of Elvis, Al Jolson, and the magnificent Marlene Dietrich, all of whom stopped by when they were touring Texas. A few years ago, all but the front annex of the motel was demolished. That was set to go as well, but a local artist, Donovan Sparhawk (we hope that's his real name), fell in love with it, bought it, and opened up an art gallery inside, along with three rooms to rent. So now, although it's on the main road into Abilene, it feels like you're staying in a nice secluded cottage surrounded by lots of trees.
Room Reaction
There are only three rooms here and they're all pretty simple but tastefully done. We took the cheap one on the end—it had a tiled floor, lots of rugs and throws and funky blue furniture and a tiled table and mirrors in the corner of the room—definitely a step up from other motels. The bathroom had the original green tiles and bathtub left over from the motel days, so although the tub was a little stained from the decades, we were very excited to think we could be sharing Elvis' bath (they don't know which room he stayed in, but we decided it was definitely ours).

Hurricane Ike Barreling Towards Galveston and Houston
The manager of the Flagship Hotel on the pier in Galveston, Texas, is the last person to leave.
While everyone was up in arms about Gustav the other week, it turns out that Hurricane Ike is going to do some serious damage to the Texan gulf coast today. From Bloomberg News:
Hurricane Ike bore down on Texas, heading for landfall as early as today in Galveston, where forecasters warned residents of ``certain death'' if they ignore a mandatory evacuation order
President Bush has declared Texas a state of emergency, 7,500 National Guard members are on standby, the Houston Texans football game has been postponed until September 15 and the Houston Astros have cancelled two ball games.
As far as what's happening with hotels, Governor Rick Perry has suspended for 14 days the collection of state and local taxes for hotels and motels. And every hotel (as well as everything else) in Galveston has been evacuated.
Damage to buildings is expected and one hotel is particularly in danger. The NY Times reports that there are worries the Flagship Hotel on the pier in Galveston will not survive the storm. The hotel is literally over the water but probably not high enough to sustain the rising tides.

Will Element Irving Have a Case of the Blahs?
While we were busy blogging about Starwood's Aloft, we almost missed the hotel chain's other swiftly replicating twin, element. This time it's their location in Irving, Texas, officially opening on November 1st.
Decidely blah in style next to its clubby sibling (case in point their Lexington, MA location) we'll be watching to see if they administer a bit of color-correcting to what has proven to be some dreary, minimalist decor. Lively up yourself!
Why Irving? It's a smart real estate decision, sandwiched between the sister cities of Dallas and Forth Worth. It's a mecca for sports junkies... and museums. There are three alone dedicated to the history of aviation, go figyuh. It has the The Kimball Art Museum, and The Sid Richardson Collection of Western Art (home to many Remingtons).
And it's home to one of the most amazing sculptures ever created, The Mustangs of Los Colinas.
The website says they're not accepting reservations, but they're taking "inquiries."

21 Jan 2013 Accountancy Age
By Calum Fuller
INVESTIGATIONS into multinational companies' use of transfer pricing have leapt up 47%, with £1bn of taxes under HM Revenue & Customs' spotlight.
The figure is up from £680m last year, as the Revenue cracks down on businesses using the method to drive down their tax bills, according to law firm Pinsent Masons.
Transfer pricing sees multinational corporations' value goods and services moving across international borders from one corporate entity to another. These transactions often see a corporation's global tax costs driven down.
In recent months, multinationals including Amazon, Google and Starbucks were accused of using the method to dramatically reduce their UK tax rates, culminating in their appearance before Public Accounts Committee to answer questions on the matter.
Pinsent Masons partner Heather Self said the figures show HMRC "is taking an increased interest in where multinationals with UK operations pay their taxes".
"With increased pressure from the government to bring in more revenue, and more resources to investigate potential avoidance and evasion, HMRC has been investigating more and more tax payments," said Self. "This doesn't necessarily mean there is more avoidance or evasion taking place, but that HMRC is being more thorough with its investigations."
She did, however, add that law changes on transfer pricing may not necessarily help.
She said: "The UK has to accept that it cannot change the law on transfer pricing or the taxation of revenues unilaterally. There is already a tax on turnover in the UK and it's called VAT. EU law does not allow the UK to create new turnover taxes."
In a statement, an HMRC spokesman said: "We are bringing in more people and additional legal support to speed up our work identifying and challenging multinationals' transfer pricing arrangements and to further strengthen our risk assessment capability across the large business sector.
"This in turn will help to ensure that multinationals do not shift profits out of the UK and pay the tax due in line with UK tax law."

(2.0L 4-cyl. Turbo 5-speed Manual)
2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
Traded in a 2007 GMC 4x4 pickup due to a job transfer and a 60 mile a day drive to and from work. Took a while to get use to smaller size, I am a 6'2" man, but after a week it is comfortable. Mileage is super, 28 mpg average with spirited driving. Ride comfort is great with SS seats. Handles like it is on rails. Turbo 4 cylinder is fun, runs better than most V8's. To bad GM is stopping production, this car puts a smile on your face.

Chevy has hit the mark with the Cobalt SS. It's a great bargain, with amazing acceleration, a great stick, and a pretty kicking speaker system.

Great car, fun to drive. For the money you will not find a more powerful car from the factory with 260hp at 5200 rpm.
Read the full review
Overall the new SS is an amazing car for the money and outperforms many cars with much higher price tags. It's really fun to drive. Finally they got it right, everything you would expect in a SS labeled car. Not for those who just want a little sporty car, you'll soon be bothered by the many clicks, clunks and less refined aspects of this performance car. Fuel mileage sold me on this car and I'm not disappointed, averaging 27mpg mixed driving. A cool feature lets you see your instant mileage approx when trying to stretch those mpg's.
Read the full review
When I first stepped into the car I thought it was roomy - I'm 6'6". The seats were very fitting and finally a head rest that met the back of my head. The SS has everything you want - power across the board, not the seats though. Side airbags and a great steering wheel. I wish I had a manual telescoping option, but it's 20K so go figure. If I wanted wood on the dash and in the car, I should be in the backseat ala S500-EL or a Cadillac Deville-EL. I would recommend getting a two tone interior; red/black for victory red, gray/black for the sport tint - very nice combo's
Read the full review
The SS has received good if not excellent reviews. I had to drive it myself. After comparing the SS to other's in it's class, it's American built perfomance won it for me. Priced under 25,000 the SS is great bang for the buck. I've only driven mine for a few hundred miles and it has delivered all I have expected. Acceleration, handling and braking have all come easily from the well bolstered bucket seats. Each element of the vehicle has been well thought out from ergonomics to perfomance, nothing seems out of place or missing. From bumper to bumper this vehicle has delivered.
