competitive price intelligence
Also called price intelligence, in ecommerce terminology, competitive price intelligence refers to the use of detailed analytics to create and optimize a retailer's pricing strategy. For example, a retailer might use price intelligence tools to scan the Web for pricing data, then use competitive price intelligence software to optimize its pricing based on the accumulated pricing data in order to better compete in the market and improve sales.
Most competitive price intelligence software and platforms provide retailers with the tools required to analyze industry pricing and obtain information on current market prices, detailed analytics to help make informed business decisions about pricing and the tools to measure the effectiveness of a competitive pricing strategy.

Carbon fiber muscles.
For decades, wool was the go-to fabric for cycling jerseys. Then someone tried cotton, which failed miserably. Then finally polyester — which to this day has been a staple. And while the basic content of the fabrics has remained the same, the Capo Drago Jersey is a new evolution in jersey construction, and one that has rewritten the boundaries of using only simple polyesters and Lycra. It's an evolution befitting of the highly evolved specimens we wheel out of the garage for every ride.
In creating a jersey that defied convention, Capo had to completely rethink its design and production processes from the ground up. The goal was to create a garment of superior quality, comfort, and protection, therefore run-of-the-mill polyester or pedestrian blends of Lycra would not be good enough. Thus, the Advanced Technology System (ATS) was born. The idea behind ATS was simple: Capo would create its next generation of ride-enhancing cycling apparel by combining the most technical Swiss and Italian fabrics they could find with the most advanced production methods available.
The fully-featured Drago Jersey sits proudly at the top of the ATS line — a technological marvel of fabric blending and modern garment tailoring. Capo admits it's the most complicated jersey it's ever created; it's an active, living, and breathing garment designed to adapt to your body's temperature, fit, and moisture management needs as you ride. And we wouldn't be prone to disagree. The Drago is also the most elastic jersey Capo has ever made — it fits with a pronounced weightlessness, yet is exceptionally strong. Four separate fabrics comprise its multi-paneled and fully-taped construction: the most prominent being the Flash ATS, which is a superlight tricot knit that keeps the jersey fantastically stretchy while expediting moisture transfer and virtually eliminating its dry time. Capo uses laser-perforated stretch mesh in the underarms, and antimicrobial carbon core threads in the mesh back panels to further regulate critical temperature zones while you ride. The jersey features a soft, microfiber collar, and a tight elastic hem that holds it in place whether you're standing on the pedals or hunched over in the saddle. We also really like the contrasting zipper with its protective garage at the hem of the jersey, which protects your bibs from zipper abrasion. It's a small detail for sure, but it further evidences Capo's absolute attention to every detail, and its dedication to leaving no stone unturned in engineering the ATS line.
The Drago is finished with a Schoeller Coldblack treatment that reduces heat buildup while protecting you from the sun's harmful UV rays. This makes even black fabrics cool to the touch under the hottest sun, so you can imagine how well it assists your skin in naturally maintaining a regulated body temperature. Three generous back pockets store all your essentials, and an additional zippered security pocket stashes a phone or media player for your ride. The pockets are constructed with the same elasticity, so you can load them down without worrying about compromising the jersey's fit or your profile. Though not compressive, in order for the jersey's fabric to excel at keeping you cool and dry, and your muscles fully supported, it needs to fit exceptionally close to your skin. Bear this in mind if everything seems a little tight the first time you put it on.
The Capo Drago 2.0 Jersey - Men's is available in sizes Small through XX-Large. Choose between Black or White.

Any more info on the fit/form?
The "Fit" category above says "form fit", others say "slim" and so on but I cannot ascertain how these terms relate. From what I would call "race fit" (no bagginess or bunching anywhere) to something more relaxed. I see no mention of this gradation on Capo's site either.
More to the point, a 2012 Bikeradar review of the Drago said it was snug but not extreme. Extreme sounds like something is too small and therefore more likely it was not too small for the reviewer but that he prefers a fit that is not a "race fit". Indeed, past photos of this jersey seem to show some bunching up around the arms, shoulders, etc. But they could have changed the cut in the recent version.
Your mannequin photo makes it look like a perfect race fit but these mannequin photos can be misleading. This is 2015 so ...
Can you describe the fit of this latest Drago jersey a bit more?
(I like a race fit.)
Many thanks!

Minimum-Pay Rise Could Have Vast Effects on the Northeast
By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
Published: May 12, 1996
If Congress approves the new minimum wage proposed by President Clinton, the increase to $5.15 an hour will have powerful effects on the New York region: a mixed bag of consequences reaching far beyond a simple 90-cent raise for workers.
While owners of supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, which hire many low-wage workers, assert that an increase would mean scaling back hiring, many economists say a higher minimum wage would have a generally positive economic effect on the region. It is expected that the exodus of manufacturing jobs to low-wage Sunbelt states would be slowed and that employers would fatten the paychecks of most low-wage workers, even those already earning between $5.15 and $6. That, the economists say, would give a boost to the region's shopping districts, especially in poor areas.
A higher minimum wage would also cause major ripples in the region's sprawling underground economy, a netherworld of illegal immigrants, seven-day work weeks and sweatshops in which employers pay less than the current $4.25-an-hour minimum. On the one hand, it could give unscrupulous employers incentive to hire illegal immigrants, but economists say it would also pull up their pay scale slightly.
At a time when many Americans are concerned about the growing gap between rich and poor, Democrats have pushed hard to raise the wage. So far, the Republicans have blocked a vote in the House and Senate, but two dozen Republican lawmakers, most from the Midwest and North, have now indicated they would support an increase, and Democrats have expressed confidence that an increase will pass.
Many economists say that because wages in the tristate area are higher than those nationwide, such an increase would bring wages in other states closer to New York's levels, making the region more competitive.
The region has been hit especially hard by the flight of jobs in industries like textiles and electrical machinery to the Sunbelt, where living costs are lower and low-wage jobs more common. For example, 19.9 percent of the workers in Louisiana earn less than the proposed $5.15 minimum, while the figure is 17 percent in Mississippi and 16.4 percent in Arkansas. That compares with 8.7 percent in New York, 6.1 percent in Connecticut, 5.2 percent in New Jersey and 11 percent nationwide.
A higher minimum would make it harder for the Sunbelt to woo jobs with rock-bottom wages. "New York will do better because the low-wage states of the South are no longer going to be as attractive," said Mitchell L. Moss, director of the Urban Research Center at New York University.
Political analysts say it is no coincidence that half the two dozen House Republicans who have broken ranks with their party to support a higher minimum come from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Representative Christopher Shays, a Connecticut Republican, said that one reason he and so many other Republicans from the area are backing the increase is that it would help the region's competitiveness.
State officials estimate that 200,000 New Yorkers and 45,000 Connecticut residents work for $4.25 an hour. In New Jersey, only workers in the underground economy earn that amount because that state's minimum wage is $5.05.
Donald Scarry, an economic adviser to Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, said that when New Jersey raised its minimum in 1992, it made the state less competitive. He agreed that raising the Federal minimum would help New Jersey by bringing the wages in other states to its level.
"From that selfish and state-o-centric view, we would be better off," said Mr. Scarry.
Although advocates point to studies showing that past increases did not result in job loss, employers in the tristate area, as elsewhere, insist that a higher wage would mean hiring fewer low-wage workers.
"If the minimum is raised, a rational employer may eliminate positions after concluding it isn't worth paying $5.15 or $5.25 an hour to someone who has no skills or is poorly educated," said Mark Alesse, New York State director of the National Federation of Independent Business.
At White Castle Systems, which has 63 hamburger restaurants in the metropolitan area, executives said they would be forced to slow hiring.
"A higher minimum wage will eat into our bottom line," said Nicholas Zuk, White Castle's corporate counsel, "and when there are less profits to go around, that means less profits to expand, build new restaurants and create new jobs."
James Ladota, vice president of human resources for the Riese Organization, which runs several dozen Dunkin' Donuts, Roy Rogers and Pizza Hut restaurants in New York, predicted staff cuts at his company, saying, "If you raise the minimum wage by 90 cents or a dollar an hour, that's a lot of dollars if you have a store open 12 hours a day. We have to be careful about cutting service, so maybe we'll end up cutting out parts of shifts, instead of whole people."
Economists predict that some employers who pay the minimum wage will dive into the underground economy rather than fork over 90 cents more an hour. And since documented workers would demand $5.15, a higher minimum might encourage some companies to search all the more for undocumented workers.

Re: 5 year old given rifle as gift, kills 2 year old sister
I think it is hard for people to accept lax gun laws because if it is easy to protect children from one hazard than it should be just as easy to protect children from another hazard. That is why people compare gun hazards to choking hazards to pool hazards.
Yes, you have a powerful gun lobby but that is because your country allowed it to get so powerful and seem to be reluctant to take them on. It took a gun massacre 17 years ago for the average Australian to say enough is enough. I t wasn't Australia's first gun massacre but it was the final straw (mainly because it had such a high death toll, included children and happened in Tasmania).
It would seem to me that America's final straw might never come and I think that is tragic especially when Americans are so protective of their children in almost every other area.

Spirit1: Real FM Radio
The focus of Spirit is on AOSP ROMs. If you don't know what AOSP is, Spirit is likely not the app for you, and you should stick with the stock FM app. Further details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50954346&postcount=7641
Satisfaction guaranteed or full refund. Cancel any time on request, within 30 days. To cancel, email firstname.lastname@example.com with at least your name, email of purchase, and/or order ID or email receipt.
If you're an average phone user, & don't know what Android "rooting" is, Spirit will likely not offer you much more than your stock FM app. If your phone does not have a stock FM app, it is unlikely that Spirit will work on it.
Spirit is mostly for Android enthusiasts who "root" & "ROM" their phones. But it also works on many stock, "store bought" phones.
Spirit Unlocked includes:
- Digital audio features supported ONLY on: ROOTED Non-stock AOSP International Galaxy S/S2/S3/Note/Note2/Player, HTC One/OneXL/OneS/Evo 4G LTE/Xperia T and most Sony 2012+ devices.
- RDS data display in App, Lock-screen & Notification window. RT, PS, PTY, PI & AF RadioText RT, Program Service PS, Program Type PTY, Program ID PI & Alternate Frequency AF.
- Lock-screen & Wired Headset Media Button support for mute, preset, seek, volume & record.
- Many settings: Audio, UI, AF, Digital & Debug categories.
- Unlimited Presets & Preset Lists.

I understand the price may seem high, but this is a niche app with 10,000 hours of work required over 3+ years. How many other "Real FM Radio" apps are on Google Play ? Almost none.
Why ? Because Android FM is extremely difficult. Google doesn't support FM radio and carriers suppress it. Intensive reverse engineering is required. In the over 3 years since Spirit was first created, nobody else has been "crazy" enough to attempt to compete in this niche (OTA radio) within a niche (AOSP ROMs) or without (all phones with usable FM).
Spirit is not a throwaway game app you play for a few days. How many hours will you spend listening to FM radio in the next several years ?
How much can you save on data plans by listening to free, over the air radio versus streaming ?
If you care about app quality, note CNet article "We're not paying enough for apps": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23568502&postcount=2523
I'm one developer and Spirit is my only substantial app and income. I'm trying to do a job Google said they couldn't for lack of developer resources. :)

Android Lollipop 5 required A huge re-architecture of Spirit2, but non-beta KitKat users get the older design.
Spirit2 is the successor to Spirit1 Unlocked and is the "Best Darn FM app"* in existence !
I am still enjoying Spirit 1, is there any reason to pay again for Spirit 2? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52304938&postcount=7787
Spirit2 supports only the most popular, recent, higher end devices that have digital audio support in Spirit1 Unlocked. See list below. The Spirit2 UI and underlying architecture are much improved. Spirit1 Unlocked is still more mature/bug-free and has more features. Your support will help Spirit2 match and exceed the Spirit1 feature set.
Requires AOSP !: If you don't know what AOSP means, Spirit2 is not for you. Spirit1 Unlocked works on numerous stock phones: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm_unlock
*"Best darn FM app": Yes, it has some bugs, and may lack some "polish" of stock FM apps, but it's the most functional and has more settings.
The ONLY FM app supporting ALL this: Equalizer, Effects, Recording, BT A2DP and Visualizer.
Spirit2 also supports multiple "remote" displays and controls: Home and lock-screen widget, lock-screen, notification shade, BT AVRCP and future Android remotes. AVRCP puts RDS and station info on the display of compatible BT headsets, and controls Pause/Play and preset selection. Was pretty cool the first time I saw that working.

Samsung GS3 GT-I9300
Samsung GS2 GT-I9100
Samsung GS1 GT-I9000
Samsung Note2 GT-N7100

HTC One (GPE requires BT off)

LG G2 D802 International and Sprint LS980 only. (Some stock, CM11 and Mahdi ROMs only as of March, 2014)
Motorola Moto G
*"Official Support" means I own the phone and I can properly support it.
**"Compatible AOSP" ROMs includes as many AOSP ROMs as I can reasonably support, that have the FM and audio kernel drivers needed to enable FM. CM11 is the most popular and best supported, except for the incompatible 2014 kernels for HTC OneXL LTE, OneS, and Evo 4G LTE. LG G2 is only supportable on CM11, AOKP and Mahdi ROMs as of April, 2014.
Unofficial Support:
The only other devices with a chance of working fully are those with Qualcomm WCN3660 or newer compatible FM/BT/WiFi chips as well as Qualcomm WDC9310 or newer compatible audio chips. This includes most late 2012+ Sony devices starting with Xperia T. These may or may not work well, and are not officially supported. With sufficient demand I will consider buying a "Z" device and officially supporting some Sony's.
Stock ROMs:
Spirit2 also works reasonably well on many stock or stock derived ROMs when rooted. But there are often problems, such as FM over BT issues on Samsung stock ROMs. Most of my customers are on AOSP/CM ROMs.

Transamerica Chicago Triathlon: Open Water Swim Clinic #2
- Sports & Fitness
- 550 E. Ohio St Chicago, IL 60611, US
Transamerica Chicago Triathlon: Open Water Swim Clinic #3
Chicago Triathlon
Tuesday, July 8, 2014 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM (CDT)
The Transamerica Chicago Triathlon is pleased to again launch a complimentary series of clinics specifically designed to help new triathletes safely enter into -- and properly prepare for -- our wonderful sport.
With the help of fellow coaches, veteran athletes and other volunteers within the local tri community, our goal is to promote the benefits of the multisport lifestyle and increase triathlon participation.
Without a doubt, the swim is the most intimidating event for new triathletes. In reality, experienced triathletes consider the swim much easier than the bike or run. The swim portion is faster, low intensity and much easier with a wetsuit. After a few sessions, we think you'll agree with us!
This clinic is perfect for first-timers, especially those who have never worn a wetsuit, although everyone is invited. This session features two swim options:
1. Half or Full Mile Swim
Those interested in swimming longer distances alongside others will be briefed, guided to the water and started together (like a race simulation). Turn buoys will be placed along a dedicated swim course, at both 1/4 and 1/2 mile marks. Certified coaches will swim with the group to ensure safety and offer assistance.
2. Swim Clinic
If you are new to open water swimming, or need to refine your swim skills, our Swim Clinic is perfect for you. This option is truly focused on newbies -- including those who have never worn a wetsuit. A fleet of local coaches will offer basic tri eductation, then lead you through several swim drills with one-on-one feedback. Swimmers will be divided into smaller groups as they enter the water. There we will walk you through several activities and drills - all in shallow water - designed to acclimate you to open water swimming in triathlon.
> Register Now! If you're not yet registered for the 2014 Transamerica Chicago Triathlon, now is the time! Both Sprint and International distances are nearing 75% capacity. Regsiter at www.chicagotriathlon.com.
> Wetsuits: If you do not own a wetsuit, don't worry! Fleet Feet Sports will supply 50 demo wetsuits for you to experiment with (first-come, first-served). They charge a $10 rental fee, which is offset in the form of a store gift card. Use that credit towards buying your suit! Plan to bring a valid ID (as collateral) when renting a wetsuit.
> Post-Swim Social: After the session, plan to congregate with everyone at Caffe' Olivia: The Offical Bar of the Transamerica Chicago Triathlon (adjacent to the beach) for $3 beer specials. Discounted parking is also available through the Caffe'. Details below.
> Charity Donations: This event is complimentary for the first 100 registrants, although we recommend a suggested donation of $5 to RSVP for this event. After the first 100 registrations, a mandatory donation (of at least $1) will be required.100% of ALL proceeds will be divided among our Transamerica Chicago Triathlon charities.
> Other Notes: Space is limited. Please read the details below before registering for this session:
For more than thirty years, triathletes have gathered on the shores of Lake Michigan for one of the largest triathlons in the world.
As part of the Life Time Tri portfolio, more than 10,000 athletes converge in Chicago for this premiere urban triathlon. The Transamerica Chicago Triathlon offers an action-packed tour through one of America's signature metropolises.
Race weekend also includes the Chicago Triathlon SuperSprint and the Life Time Kids Tri Chicago, presented by CLIF Kid, the largest youth triathlons in the world drawing more than 1,200 children ages 7–14 in itself.
For more information on the Chicago Triathlon, visit www.chicagotriathlon.com

This vintage, unused popcorn box has a funny looking vendor that looks similar to a organ grinder. He's popping fresh popcorn as he pushes his comical popcorn vending wagon. The red and white graphics and striped sides make this a festive box. Opposing sides are the same and it is probably from the 1950's.
It would measure about 6 5/8" by 4 3/8" by 2" when opened up and folded into a box and is in very good condition with minimal discoloration along the edges, probably from rubbing against other boxes.
The pictures are not shown at actual size. Please refer to the description for actual measurements.

VIDEO: Pinta Island Tortoise Lonesome George Arrives at AMNH in NYC
Lonesome George, the 100-year-old (estimated) Pinta Island tortoise (Chelonoidis abingdoni)-the last of his kind-who died in June 2012, will be preserved for posterity by the same expert taxidermy and conservation team that worked on the acclaimed renovation of the Jill and Lewis Bernard Family Hall of North American Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History. The world-famous giant tortoise, who continues to be an icon for conservation in Ecuador's Galápagos Islands, will be on display at the Museum for a limited time starting this winter. Afterwards, Lonesome George will be returned to the Galápagos. Click below to learn more about Loneseome George!
Lonesome George, weighing 200 pounds and measuring 5 feet long, was probably the most famous and most photographed giant tortoise in the world. He died at the Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island in June 2012. Despite efforts to provide him with a mate, George never successfully reproduced and remained the last known member of his subspecies.
The Museum's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation works closely with the Galápagos National Park Service, the SUNY College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry, and the Galápagos Conservancy to understand the current role of tortoises in the larger ecosystem and to help conserve these magnificent animals. The four organizations are working together to prepare Lonesome George's body and spread awareness of the importance of biodiversity conservation.
"We are honored to receive this incredibly important specimen and ultimately, put it on display for the public," said Michael J. Novacek, senior vice president and provost of science at the American Museum of Natural History. "Our team of experts, using preservation and taxidermy techniques that have earned this institution recognition throughout the world, will ensure the legacy of Lonesome George Lives on and is appreciated by future generations."
"I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Galápagos National Park Service, SUNY ESF, and Galápagos Conservancy team to preserve such an important icon for the global conservation movement," said Eleanor Sterling, director of the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History. "Together we will bring Lonesome George, both in his physical presence and message, before the international public in ways we hope have a lasting impact."

Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT http://www.fiatusaoftoledo.com RSS Feed for Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT's Blog 3 Basic Maintenance Tips to Prolong the Life of Your FIAT http://www.fiatusaoftoledo.com/blog/2015/june/5/3-basic-maintenance-tips-to-prolong-the-life-of-your-fiat.htm?locale=en_US

The moment you drive off of the dealership lot after purchasing your new FIAT, or any new car, its value decreases substantially. Every year you drive your car, the value will decrease even further. You can typically judge the value of a car based on its interior and exterior appearance, as well as the mechanical running condition. Neglect and improper care of your FIAT can decrease its performance, efficiency, and resale value. Basic car maintenance can prevent damage to your car's vital components and prolong the life of your FIAT. Follow these three basic maintenance tips to keep your FIAT looking and running as new as the day you bought it.

1. Wash your car regularly

 The first thing people see when you pull up is the paint of your FIAT. A dirty car might give them a bad impression of you, but what's worse is the damaging effect that the dirt, dust, and grime left on the exterior can have on your car's paint. Residue left sitting on the paint can wear away the clear coat, leaving the layers of paint vulnerable to sun damage. A simple car wash, once a month or so, goes a long way in removing surface contaminants that will, sooner or later, leave your car's paint look dull and worn, reducing the resale value of your FIAT.

2. Change your oil and oil filter

 Keeping your car's mechanical components in good working order is key to the longevity of your FIAT ownership. The most important part of any car is the engine, and there is one very basic car service you can do to prolong the life of your car's engine, and that is a simple oil change. Oil changes are relatively inexpensive, and they guarantee that the engine is properly lubricated for maximum performance and efficiency. A car with a strong engine has a higher resale value than one that's in poor running condition. What's more is that an oil change can be done at home or you can easily schedule a service appointment at your nearest FIAT dealership in Toledo, OH.

3. Inspect your tires

 Often times, we overlook our car's tires as an important safety factor. Bald or severely worn tires could cause you to lose control of the vehicle, resulting in damage to the body or frame. Such damages will devalue your car, and could have been avoided altogether with the simple task of periodically inspecting your tires. Check for low tread, uneven tire wear, tire wear bars showing, or even under-inflated tires. All of these factors negatively impact your car's handling and your ability to control the car.

Take a little time out each month to do some basic car maintenance. If you don't have time to properly maintain your FIAT yourself, bring it to Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT in Toledo, OH. Contact us or visit our dealership for vehicle service and maintenance. Easily schedule a service appointment online at any time. We make maintaining your FIAT pain-free.

 2015-05-18T04:00:00Z 3 Driving Mistakes that Lead to Speeding Tickets http://www.fiatusaoftoledo.com/blog/2015/april/7/3-driving-mistakes-that-lead-to-speeding-tickets.htm?locale=en_US
Ever wonder why some drivers get pulled over for speeding, while others don't? No, it's not because the police officer is playing favorites. It depends how and where you exceed the speed limit. Speeding is dangerous, puts lives at risk, and should be avoided for everyone's safety. Following posted signs is the legal thing to do, but sometimes it is safer to travel with the flow of traffic.

Speeding tickets aren't cheap either, so here are three mistakes that lead to speeding tickets you should avoid. Here at Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT in Toledo, OH, safety is very important to us and we would like to remind drivers to make smart decisions and be courteous on the road.

 (image from David Lofink under CC BY 2.0)

1. Speeding in Unfamiliar Areas

One of the biggest mistakes drivers make when traveling at speeds above the posted limit is speeding in unfamiliar areas. Drivers who know the area know when and where to slow down or speed up. If you don't slow down and pass slower drivers, you're asking for a speeding ticket. Law enforcement can easily spot a car passing everyone else. Follow the flow of traffic to avoid standing out. If you're going faster than cars around you, you not only look foolish, but you put other drivers in harm's way.

 (image from redjar under CC BY-SA 2.0)

2. Speeding in Peak Traffic Hours

Peak traffic hours are not the most enjoyable experiences when you have somewhere to be, and the last thing you would want is to get pulled over for speeding. Police officers are most vigilant during these times, because more accidents are prone to happen when more cars are on the road. Drivers that are speeding, following too closely, or performing dangerous maneuvers increase the chances of a car accident. If you're stuck in traffic, your chance of getting pulled over goes up, so be patient and save yourself the trouble.

3. Weaving through Traffic

Nothing sticks out like a sore thumb to law enforcement officers than a car weaving through slower traffic. There really is no reason to cut in and out of traffic, because even if you're passing cars, they're going slower for a reason; it's called traffic. Weaving through traffic is less efficient for you and your car. You aren't getting that much further ahead of traffic, and you end up using more gas accelerating and braking to make your way around slower traffic. Simply put, speeding is not worth endangering your life and the lives of everyone around you.

If you find yourself rushing because you're always late, leave for your destination earlier to avoid needing to speed through traffic. Speeding is unnecessarily dangerous and getting a speeding ticket is a cost that can be easily avoided. Drive safely and plan ahead.

 2015-03-11T04:00:00Z 3 Tips For Safe Driving in Extreme Weather http://www.fiatusaoftoledo.com/blog/2015/february/16/tips-for-driving-in-extreme-weather.htm?locale=en_US
In case you didn't notice, an arctic blast hit us here in Toledo, Ohio this weekend. The worst of the deep freeze came late Saturday and extended through Monday morning. Wind, snow and ice make for incredibly difficult driving conditions and with snow still on the horizon this week, Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT wants to offer drivers of FIATS and all vehicles some safety advice when preparing for this type of weather.

Prepare your vehicle

Ensuring your car is in proper condition is very important. Before you hit the road, make sure your anti-freeze is full, your windshield wipers aren't worn down and your tires have enough air and tread. The Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT's Service Center is happy to make sure your vehicle is in good shape. We can replace your battery, inspect your brakes and more.

Slow down and avoid abrupt maneuvers

You'll want to avoid accelerating or braking abruptly. These motions will cause your vehicle to lose traction which is incredibly dangerous in icy conditions and will likely result in a collision with another car. The roads are already going to be hazardous so don't add any more obstacles like your skidding vehicle into the mix! It's always a good idea to drive slowly when the weather gets bad and you should never tailgate another driver... you never know what's ahead of them on the road.

Pull over or stay inside

Our number piece of advice is to just avoid driving if the conditions get too bad. There's no sense in putting yourself in harm's way if you don't urgently need to be somewhere, but if that is not a possibility, then drive with caution. If a road looks too icy or too dangerous to continue on, just pull over and wait it out.

These tips should help you stay better prepared for inclement weather. In case you're still nervous to drive, FIAT owners should be reminded that their vehicles are fitted with many features created with weather in mind. The powerful front and rear wiper blades, front and rear defrosters, electronic stability control and 4-wheel anti-lock disc power brakes all serve to protect you no matter what Mother Nature has up her sleeve.

Stay safe out there and remember Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT is here for your car buying and service needs! Our Service Center can ensure your vehicle is prepared for any weather ahead. Visit us at the Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT dealership in Toledo, Ohio today. We proudly serve the areas of Sylvania, Bowling Green, Ann Arbor and Monroe, MI.
 2015-02-16T05:00:00Z The All-Star 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C http://www.fiatusaoftoledo.com/blog/2015/january/6/the-all-star-2015-alfa-romeo-4c.htm?locale=en_US

Fast. Powerful. Exciting. Beautiful. Ingenious. These are only some of the words that describe all-new 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C - the captivating, Italian made sports car that we've long been waiting for in the United States. If you haven't heard about the Alfa Romeo 4C, Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT dealership in Toledo, Ohio is here to give you all the details.

Beginnings

The Alfa Romeo 4C will be built in the Maserati plant in Modena, Italy. It was first revealed as a concept car at the March 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Production vehicles soon followed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The vehicle became available, exclusively to all European Alfa Romeo dealerships in October 2013. Soon after, Alfa Romeo opened its doors and started taking sales orders for the 4C in December 2013 from consumers in the United States.

Launch Edition

The first release of the Alfa Romeo 4C in the United States is called the Launch Edition. Only 500 cars will be released during the initial launch. The Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition will have all the features the original concept car promises, and more.

Cutting-Edge Technology

* With a carbon fiber monocoque body and aluminum front and rear sub frames, this lightweight two-seater sports car weighs in at only 236 lbs. translates to speed and control for the driver.

* The 6-speed Twin Clutch Transmission and Launch Control features of the Alfa Romeo 4C allows for easy and smooth transitions at the tip of your fingertips and foot pedals.

* The D.N.A (Dynamic, Natural and All Weather) system enables the driver to adapt to all road conditions. An additional Race mode gives you full control of the vehicle by cutting off the stability control system and ABS.

Turbocharged Performance

* The 1750 turbocharged, all aluminum l4 engine generates 237 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque.

* This speed devil can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in 4.1 seconds, at a top speed of 160 MPH.

* The 18-inch diameter front wheels and 19-inch diameter rear wheels with self-ventilating drilled discs make for an effective braking system that can stop the vehicle from 60 MPH to 0 within 118 ft.

Irresistible Style

* The Alfa Romeo 4C was made for speed. It was designed to i ntegrate the lightness of carbon fiber and aluminum into a distinct, aerodynamic vehicle with curvy yet muscular lines.

* It has the classic V-shaped, front grilles with ovious inspiration from the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.

* With a car this this bold, only a few colors can complement the shape and features of this car. That is why there are only two color options; a Lava Red and Fluid Metal with black accents make this car the sexiest vehicle on the road.

For sports car fans, the 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C is a vehicle that will never go out of style. With inspirational design and engineering, this is one car to look forward to in 2015.

 2015-01-06T05:00:00Z 3 Rules for Driving Safely After Holiday Parties http://www.fiatusaoftoledo.com/blog/2014/december/6/3-rules-for-driving-safely-after-holiday-parties.htm?locale=en_US

Image from SplitShire

The holidays truly are the most wonderful time of the year. One of the best things about Thanksgiving and Christmas is sharing copious amounts of food with friends and family. Since that can sometimes include alcoholic beverages, don't ruin the Christmas spirit with reckless driving caused by too much eggnog. Here are 3 tips for getting home safely after your holiday parties.

1. Travel with friends and assign a designated driver.

This one's a no-brainer. If you know you're going to have alcohol at a party, try to carpool with friends and assign a DD. It's safer, you save gas on your car, and you get to enjoy the company of loved ones even after the party. Don't be the person who gets behind the wheel after having too many drinks, putting yourself and other people at risk. Give your keys to the designated driver before you start drinking.

2. Eat up and sober up before driving.

If you have no choice but to drive yourself for the night, try to pace your alcohol consumption throughout the night. Eat more of that delicious holiday food to help absorb the alcohol while keeping you full. This will help you consume less alcohol and decrease the time you need to get sober.

Remember to wait until your body fully breaks down the alcohol before driving. Keep count of how much you drank for the night, and plan out how much time you'll need. The general rule is it takes 1 hour to break down 1 ounce of alcohol. That means an hour for each bottle of beer, glass of wine, and shot of hard liquor.

3. Plan ahead for bad weather and unexpected circumstances.

Even after you sober up, there are forces of nature you can't control such as stormy weather that will impede your driving skills. Winter weather means heavy rain and snow for most places in the country. Check the traffic conditions for closed roads or traffic accidents before you leave.

Something else you can't control is other drunk drivers. Driving between the hours of 12:00 A.M. - 3:00 A.M. is particularly dangerous because that's when celebrations end, and can be a time when most drunk drivers are on the road. Being cautious, vigilant, and prepared can really make the difference in your driving experience.

Yark Alfa Romeo FIAT wishes you safe travels and happy holidays!

 2014-12-06T05:00:00Z Why You Should Be Excited About the FIAT 500X http://www.fiatusaoftoledo.com/blog/2014/november/19/whyyoushouldbeexcitedaboutthefiat500x.htm?locale=en_US

Reaching New Heights

Since its debut at the Paris Motor Show in 2014, the excitement and buzz over the all-new FIAT 500X keeps escalating. The mini crossover SUV from FIAT carries a design reminiscent of the 500 series with its circular headlights, but it's enhanced with a sportier and more rugged build. Physically, it's a much larger and taller vehicle with more space between the body and the ground. The new design and enlarged frame makes it stand out from the rest of the FIAT 500 lineup.

The new FIAT 500X is FIAT's opportunity to compete in the increasingly popular, luxury crossover SUV market. With two configurations available and five different trim levels, there's a 500X model suitable for everyone. The 500X is FIAT's gateway to a pool of new customers they were unable to reach before; those looking for a mini crossover SUV, with more power and flexibility than what we're used to seeing from that FIAT brand.

Features and Configuration Options

There are two designs available and 5 configurations available, making the FIAT 500X a highly customizable vehicle.

1. The two-wheel drive editions feature an urban, luxury sports-car vehicle design with sleek and smoother edges. The 3 trim levels are called Pop, Pop Star and Lounge.

2. The all-wheel drive option is called the 500X Cross Plus. It features a more aggressive, outdoor influenced design with faux skid plates and bumpers. 500X Cross has the same off-road, rough-terrain vehicle design as the Cross Plus, but caters to those who opt for a front-wheel drive.

Manufactured alongside the Jeep Renegade in the Melfi, Italy, the FIAT 500X uses the same platform as the Jeep Renegade, including sharing the same Uconnect Live system. The 500X is one of the few FIAT vehicles to possess 4x4 capabilities. To add onto the list of new features, the 500X will come with premium, BeatsAudio hi-fi sound system.

Release Date

There's no news yet on when the Fiat 500X will hit the US market. A special edition of the 500X, called the "Opening Edition," has been released to the first 2,000 buyers in European markets. Three trims are available for the Opening Edition. The two front-wheel-drive options with manual transmission are available with either a 1.4-liter Turbo MultiAir II engine producing 140 horsepower, or a 1.6-liter MultiJet II with 120 horsepower. The third option with all-wheel-drive model and 9-speed automatic transmission comes with a 2.0-liter MultiJet II, producing 140 horsepower.

FIAT is starting to take orders beginning in December. Starting price for the Opening Edition will begin at £17,595 (Approximately $27,600.00). UK fans can get the FIAT 500X in early second quarter of 2015, starting from from £14,595 ($22800) for the 1.6 E-torQ 110hp in Pop configuration, to £25,845 ($40,400) for the 2.0-litre MultiJet II 140 horsepower in the Cross Plus configuration. The Fiat 500X is the beginning of new horizons for the FIAT brand.
 2014-11-19T05:00:00Z DRIVING TIP: http://www.fiatusaoftoledo.com/blog/2012/may/21/DRIVING-TIP.htm?locale=en_US Did you know?
As little as one foot of water can move most cars off the road! So try to be alert of road hazards such as washed-out roads or bridges, as well as downed power lines! It's the season for severe weather situations, so be careful and always leave early enough to avoid being trapped!

For some of us, user maintainability trumps technical superiority.
I attended a Open Wrench Night at a private bike building garage, riding in on my 50s vintage scoot. There was a Britbike on the repair stand, something old with an Amal carb. I asked about the metal hoses on the outside of the cylinder. External oil lines. I mentioned my bike didn't have an oil pump. That piqued the host's interest, he is interested in how different schools of thought design motorcycles. I showed him how the oil vapor was delivered to the valve levers by removing the oil cap and feeling the air pumping out. There are little points molded into the inside of the cylinder head cover that drip the condensed lubricant onto the bushings. The oil is distributed by the crankshaft that splashes oil around. This may sound primitive, but it is part of an old formula for reliability. No oil pump, no tiny passageways, no moving parts except the already moving crankshaft. The engine doesn't turn very fast, and ignition points last many years, and are simple to set. This simplicity and formactive design makes diagnosis of a problem so elementary that even I can do it. The valves have a single angle, the last time I burned a valve I lapped in a new one, no machining. The pushrods need no attention. The final drive is an enclosed engine component. The bike was designed by aircraft engineers to be reliable, and they succeeded.

Read on to find out how to get Lux\'s looks!
1. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo and conditioner like head&shoulders Smooth & Silky, before blow drying on a medium heat setting.2. Start by making a centre parting and sectioning a 1 inch wide section to the left.3. Start braiding at the front and work your way back adding small sections to the braid as you move towards the crown and then down the back of your head to the nape of your neck.4. Next, take another 1 inch section to the left and braid in the same way, from the hair line to the nape, and repeat until you have completed all hair to the left of the parting, before doing the same to the right, in 1 inch sections. You should have 8-10 braids at the end.5. When you get to the ends of each braid, secure with a small hair elastic leaving you sporting a modern, sexy, beach look. Just remember to spritz your scalp with SPF before venturing into the sun!
Half-up Half-down
1. Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner and blow dry the best end-looks start with clean hair!2. For this look, you need to saturate your hair with hair serum.3. Once you have serum throughout your hair, from root to tip, separate the bottom half and the top half of your hair, parting from ear to ear passing just underneath the crown and gather in a tight ponytail.4. Pull some thin strands of baby hair from the front hairline and add a small drop of serum to it to get a super-glam wet look.
1. Firstly, hold your head upside down, gathering all your hair in a tight ponytail at the crown, and secure with a hair bungee. (Rake the hair together with your fingers to achieve a slightly undone result when creating the ponytail)2. Next, spray a texturizing spray liberally throughout the ponytail and dry the product into the hair with the hairdryer on a medium heat setting.3. When your hair is dry rub the ponytail a little between the tips of your fingers to create some texture.4. Now, wrap the ponytail loosely around its base and secure the ends underneath the created bun with a few pins.5. Finally, shape the bun carefully with your fingers and hold in place with some hairspray, and youre done!
Tousled Waves
1. After washing your hair with a shampoo and conditioner suited to your hair and scalp needs like head&shoulders Smooth & Silky, spray a little texturizing spray throughout the hair and start to blow dry on a medium heat setting.2. When the hair begins to feel semi-dry separate it into six to eight chunky sections.3. Take one section at a time and twist them between your fingers in a backwards motion whilst drying with the hairdryer. (Take care not to twist the section tight, just let each section glide between your fingers to achieve the perfect twist).4. Once all the sections are dry, unravel each one carefully with your fingers and finish with some hairspray for some extra va-va-voom gloss and hold.

A film adaptation of Yann Martel's award-winning 2001 novel, Life of Pi, has been in the works for several years now, with filmmakers such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie), Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men) and even M. Night Shyamalan having been rumored as possibilities to direct the feature.
Oscar-winner Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) finally landed the job and has now secured a $50 million budget, along with a lead actor for the film – which will be shot in 3D, no less.
The expensive cost of the project is due largely to Lee's decision to shoot Life of Pi in the third dimension, as he feels that "the ocean [setting of the story] is perfect for 3D… it will change the way people experience the sea." Between Life of Pi and James Cameron's Avatar 2, mainstream moviegoers that are interested in the immersive (cinematic) experience of being in the ocean should certainly get their fill.
Lee has already compared Life of Pi to the film Castaway, which is a similar tale of a person left stranded out at sea, far from civilization. Sharma – like Tom Hanks was in Castaway or Sandra Bullock in Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity – will be the only human onscreen for large sections of the Life of Pi, which is not so much a tale of survival, but a parable about a young man's coming-to-terms with his spirituality and religious beliefs about the world around him.
Life of Pi definitely has the makings of an awards contender, but it could also lure in mainstream ticket buyers who are intrigued by the story and want to see how a versatile filmmaker like Lee brings it to life. The source material is fairly well known and fans of the original book will also be curious to see how it translates to the big screen.
20th Century Fox plans to give Life of Pi a theatrical release in 2012.
