Home / New photovoltaic plant for Saudi Arabia by Sept
New photovoltaic plant for Saudi Arabia by Septby Michael Palmer on Feb 21, 2011
An Oman-based firm has been awarded the contract to build Saudi Arabia's largest photovoltaic plant near Riyadh, producing a peak power of 3.5 megawatts.
German firm Phoenix Solar was previously commissioned to install a solar testing field by Saudi Aramco, designed to analyse different module technologies at its Dhahran headquarters, and will now head up the plant construction for the new solar park.
The photovoltaic plant is planned to provide electricity to the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Centre (KAPSARC), which is currently under construction near Riyadh, and will be built on the same land.
"The solar market in the Gulf region is still in its infancy," says Klaus Friedl, general manager of Phoenix Solar LLC. "There is, however, a huge potential for solar power plants in Saudi Arabia, and we are delighted to be able to build the largest ground-mounted plant in Saudi Arabia, using our know-how to support the introduction of renewable energies into Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region to the best of our ability."
Working with Naizak Global Engineering Systems, its local project partner in Saudi Arabia, Phoenix Solar will design and build the grid-connected, ground-mounted plant by the end of September 2011.

The big reduction in the number of schools being forced to close or merge, announced by Education Minister Hekia Parata yesterday, is more than welcome.
OPINION: It ends the anxiety of the many Christchurch people who faced their most cherished community asset being torn from them or drastically altered, reduces pupil and parent fears and gives teachers more certainty about their jobs.
The Government should be congratulated for at last properly consulting people about the plan and for taking heed of concerns. Even greater congratulations should go to the schools, parents and supporters for gathering the facts and ensuring that the Government took them aboard. This was a demonstration of people power at its constructive best.
But the congratulations should not divert reflection on the incompetence of the reform process, and the resulting lack of faith in the intention of the Government to provide a school system suitable for post-quake Christchurch. We, and the Government, need to learn from those failings if another city is to avoid suffering from such a botched project.
The core issue is faulty information used to justify the changes, and it is an issue inadvertently demonstrated by the prime minister.
Last year, when defending the closure of schools, John Key asked a question that did not need an answer. Did we want to keep schools like Burnside - borer-ridden and a relic of the 1960s - or have schools fit for the 21st century? Yesterday, his minister of education said that Burnside would remain open because she has now discovered that it is fit for purpose.
The incident would be trivial did it not exemplify the misinformation that has underlain the reform of Christchurch state education from its start in September last year. The shock then of the announced closures was great, but principals were quick to gather their wits and find mistakes in the justifications provided - mistakes involving things like the extent of damage to classrooms, roll sizes and the number of buildings at schools.
The intervening consultation has garnered new facts sufficient to drastically change the number of schools closing or merging - a reduction of about a third - which leads to the conclusion that the original proposal was ill-founded.
That is extraordinary, given the radicalness of the September plan and its cost in human terms. Thirteen schools were to be closed and 26 merged. All of those schools were the focus of communities' lives, the pride of parents and the happy learning place of pupils. The resulting anger and distress were understandable.
Now it emerges that much of that outpouring was avoidable had the Ministry of Education built its plans on sure facts and consulted more effectively before the wholesale announcement. Had it done so, the first plan would have been something like that now proposed and would not have hit the city like a load of lead. People would have been much more accepting of change because they would have been informed about its need and contributed to its detail.
Such consultation has now taken place, but issues still exist. How sound is the demographic data driving the change? Are the schools affected satisfied that they have been fairly listened to?
Those issues aside, it is time to end the upset and concentrate on the proposed school structure. It promises to fit the city for the new age of education.
That, at least, is the promise.

25 tomato seeds
First introduced by D.M. Ferry of Detroit, Michigan in 1879 (see picture for actual catalog).
Ferry says "Mr. Waring is the originator of this tomato".
Ferry writes:
"This new and valuable variety combined more points of excellence, this season with us than any other kind. It is extra early, it is larger than most early varieties, unsurpassed for canning, very smooth, beautiful color, produces large crops and does not rot on the vine in wet weather."

Planting Tips for Heirloom Tomatoes:
Most gardeners want to get the most out of these delicious heirloom tomatoes and therefore give them a head start on the growing season. Start these vegetable seeds indoors in sterile potting mix being sure to keep the temperature above 70 degrees. Some people prefer to use a grow pad but the top of the fridge has been known to be quite effective as well.
Once the first true leaves appear on your tomato seedlings, transplant into 4" pots until you have completely hardened them off in the garden. Hardening is a process of exposing the plants more and more to outside temperature until they are hardy enough to tollerat a complete outdoor move. Generally speaking, by early summer heirloom tomatoes should be transplated into the garden.
Most heirloom varieties are quite productive and will greatly benefit from sturdy supports. It may also be advisable to add blood and bone to the worked soil to help ensure healthy productive heirloom tomatoes.
Seed Care tips for Heirloom Tomato Seeds:
Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot.
|Costa Rica Tobacco Seeds
Costa Rica 589 is a primitive variety and is unclassified. It's growth habit and plant form resemble that of Turkish varieties such as Black Sea Samsun. The leaves are a medium green and have a glossy appearance when mature. Tolerates frost well.

And the next restaurant in the Sixth Street gas station will be ...
Basil Leaf Cafe has barely launched out of its original home inside the Miller Mart at 3300 W. Sixth St., and plans for the gas station's next restaurant are already underway.
Basil Leaf left Miller Mart in August and opened about two weeks ago in its first standalone home, the former Joe's Bakery spot at 616 W. Ninth St. (More on that Thursday — watch for it here on Lawrence.com.)
Robert Douglas took over the lease for the entire convenience store and closed the building for renovations last week. The convenience store half should reopen this weekend, he said, and he hopes to open his planned restaurant in November.
The name will be D-Lux Southern Fried Chicken, and in addition to fried chicken (obviously) Douglas plans to cook up comfort food such as braised greens, pickled beets and baked macaroni and cheese. He's moved the counter formerly home to the convenience store's frozen drink machines to significantly increase the size of the dining room, and he plans to reopen the restaurant's drive-thru window.
Douglas said he's worked at hotels, restaurants and private clubs — including a golf and recreational property where one of the seven dining outlets was a pizzeria in a convenience store — in several other states. While living in California, he said he met Jeff Stehney, owner of Kansas City's famous Oklahoma Joe's Bar-B-Que (yep, their original location's in a Kansas City, Kan., gas station), who suggested he check out our area.
Originally, Douglas said, he and his partner were looking at spaces in Kansas City. But the Sixth Street Miller Mart with it's little restaurant on the side — where before Basil Leaf, Tortas Jalisco and Biemer's BBQ also started before successfully moving into standalone properties — piqued his interest.
"That's what drew us here, because we think it's pretty cool," Douglas said. "This thing's a gold mine — we love this place."

Ford says OxyContin call a good deed gone wrong
Published Thursday, June 17, 2010 7:14PM EDT
Mayoral candidate Coun. Rob Ford said he agreed to help a man illicitly obtain a painkiller in order to get that person off the phone, but never followed through.
"All I have ever done in 10 years of politics is return people's calls and try to help out every single person. Unfortunately, this is a good deed that has gone horribly wrong," Ford told a Thursday news conference.
"His tenor became threatening. I began to fear for my family. He clearly said on the tape that he could see my house. In my opinion, this person needs help."
The municipal political veteran, who represents Ward 2 (Etobicoke North) said he has asked the police to investigate the man for criminal harassment. Ford added that if one reviews the transcript, they could see he had tried numerous times to end the conversation.
Dieter Doneit-Henderson released a transcript of a more than 50-minutes-long telephone conversation he'd had with Ford about obtaining OxyContin, a powerful painkiller that can be highly addictive.
He scoffed at the notion he had threatened Ford.
"What would that accomplish exactly, if you're trying to find a doctor and he's promised to try and help you with that?" he told CTV Toronto.
On June 4, the HIV-positive man, whom Ford had apologized to last month after some notorious 2006 comments about AIDS became an issue, asked Ford to get him the painkiller because his doctors had cut him off.
During his May 10 meeting with Ford, the candidate promised to find a doctor for Doneit-Henderson and the man's husband, according to the Toronto Star. Both are HIV-positive and have other health issues.
"Can you find OxyContin for me, Rob?" Doneit-Henderson said in the recorded June 4 conversation.
"I'll try. I'll try," the councillor responded. "I don't know this s--t but I'll try to f-----g find it."
On Thursday, Ford said he "said what I needed to say to get the person off the phone without provoking him."
Ford said Etobicoke MPP Donna Cansfield has also complained to police about the nature of Doneit-Henderson's correspondence with her.
Ford also claimed to feel like he was set up, without naming who he thinks is involved.
"There are people out there that will do everything in their power to make sure that I'm not mayor of this great city," Ford said, but added he didn't want to make any accusations.
"Who tapes phone calls?" he asked rhetorically.
He intends to continue giving out his phone number and personally returning calls.

I love this album,
This review is from: Gone Troppo (Audio CD)
I really don't agree or understand when people say that this album is rubbish because in my opipion it's better than all things must pass but not as good as "living in the material world" or "Cloud Nine" it had everything to be a classic and sell millions but with lack of promotion and the music world not giving it a chance and saying that Harrison is passed it. but i wasn't round when this album was realased i got it with the brillant dark horse box set. and it's a great album of classic melodic rock that is vasely under-rated by fans and music world alike...and the demo of Mystic one it's fabulous it brings a tear to my eye.

Microsoft to roll out Messenger 5.0 for MacMicrosoft on Tuesday is expected to announce the immediate availability of Microsoft Messenger for Mac 5.0 with improved security and broader collaboration features, AppleInsider has learned.
According to sources, the free software should be available for download from Microsoft\'s Mactopia website by morning. It will feature an evolved user interface to better match that of Mac OS X, security enhancements, and other new features currently available with the Windows version.
Additionally, the new Mac version will sport a dual-tab interface to separate corporate and personal messaging accounts, integration with the Global Address List, and enhancements to overall usability.
Sources say the software will allow users to post separate away messages to their personal and client messaging accounts as well as offer improved integration with corporate messaging. The software will feature support for animated emoticons, inline user photos, and other refinements to match the experience of Messenger for Windows.
Microsoft Messenger for Mac 5.0 is expected to make realtime communication and collaboration easier and more secure for corporate Mac customers through added support for Microsoft\'s Live Communications Server 2005.
When used in conjunction with Live Communication Server and a Public IM Connectivity license, users will be able to communicate with and add users from other messaging services (AIM, Yahoo, etc.) to their corporate messaging tab.
Microsoft last updated Messenger for Mac in October of 2004, when it released Messenger version 4.0.1.

Power Pressure Cooker XL Reviews
The Power Pressure Cooker XL is a digital pressure cooker that claims to help you slow-cook meals your family will love up to 70% faster than other methods.
About Power Pressure Cooker XL
The Power Pressure Cooker XL is a digital pressure cooker that claims to be a "one button, one pot kitchen miracle" assisting you in preparing all of your favorite slow-cooked meals in a fraction of the time. Because of this, this "As Seen on TV" Power Pressure Cooker XL is claimed to help you create succulent, wholesome meals with one touch of a button and up to 70% faster than conventional methods, saving you time, energy, and money.
Admittedly, the Power Pressure Cooker XL's advertising raises some interesting selling points. After all, who wouldn't want to be able to create delicious, home-cooked meals in minutes as the manufacturer claims? The commercial is definitely compelling and you've come to the right place to learn more about the Pressure Cooker XL.
Since writing our original review, more than 345 HighYa readers have chimed in about their experiences with the Power Pressure Cooker XL, which has given us much better insight into the slow cooker's performance. So how do these experiences match up with the product's claims? Let's find out.
Understanding how the Power Pressure Cooker XL Works
Using Flavor Infusion technology that traps super-heated steam inside the pot, which forces liquid and moisture into your food and locks in intense flavor and nutrients, in addition to its intelligent one-touch settings, the Power Pressure Cooker XL is claimed to be ideal for cooking all you favorite foods, including meat, fish, vegetables, beans, rice, soup, stews, and much more.
In addition, according to the Power Pressure Cooker XL website, this "As Seen on TV" slow cooker is claimed to save you prep time by allowing you to put all your ingredients into one pot (including un-defrosted frozen foods), and its one touch pre-set operation means that you simply turn it on, choose your setting, and walk away. On top of this, because you'll only be using one appliance, the manufacturer claims that the Power Pressure Cooker XL can help conserve energy and keep your kitchen cooler.
On top of this, you can adjust the pressure of your Power Pressure Cooker XL between 10-80 kPa, which means that you can brown and sauté your food, as well as can your choice of fruits and vegetables. Other features of the Power Pressure Cooker XL include a 6-quart capacity, stainless steel housing, digital display panel, safe lock lid, reinforced, and built-in steam ledge.
Once your food is finished cooking, the Power Pressure Cooker XL is claimed to automatically change to "Keep Warm" mode, which, like it sounds, will keep your food warm until you're ready to enjoy it. Afterward, the manufacturer claims that cleanup is a breeze, thanks to the Power Pressure Cooker XL's removable, non-stick inner pot that is dishwasher safe (see more about this in the Bottom Line section).
Power Pressure Cooker XL Pricing & Refund Policy
The Power Pressure Cooker XL is priced at 3 payments of $33.33 or one single payment of $99.99, plus $29.99 S&H, bringing your total to $129.98. With your order, you'll also receive power chopper, power cooker, and power canning recipe books.
The Power Pressure Cooker XL comes with a 60-day money back guarantee, less S&H charges, as well as a 60-day limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. However, you can also add a 3-year warranty for an additional $15, and a 6-year warranty for $30 at checkout.
In order to initiate a warranty claim or to begin the refund process, you'll need to contact customer service at (973) 287-5159.
What Do Other Consumers Have to Say About the Power Pressure Cooker XL?
Based on HighYa reader reviews, the Power Pressure Cooker XL has an average rating of 2.0 stars. Below, we've broken down some of the most consistent complaints that consumers are citing.
Why the Long Shipping Times?
By far the most common complaint HighYa readers referenced is very long shipping times. Although it appears that most customers experienced delivery times within the 4-6 week range, some were as long a 10 weeks. In fact, one reader claimed that it took 137 days to receive their Power Pressure Cooker XL. Consumers stated in their reviews that the long delivery times were a result of the pressure cookers being on constant backorder, as they were told by customer service when calling to check up on their orders.
On top of this, numerous HighYa readers claimed to have received the Power Cooker Pro instead of the XL model. And even though these instances appear to have been the company's fault, customers were required to pay for shipping back to the manufacturer, and were then charged another $29.99 S&H for the company to send them the model they originally ordered.
How is Customer Service Treating the Customers?
A very close second in regards to the most popular complaints from HighYa reader was poor customer service. These included representatives who were unable to answer questions about the product, difficulty processing returns (several customers even claimed they had to dispute the charges with their credit card company in order to avoid being charged), long hold times/frequent transfers, difficulty understanding representatives, duplicate/fraudulent charges, and no response to repeated emails.
SEE ALSO: What to Do if You've Been Scammed by a Company.
Are Consumer Saying That the Product Doesn't Work?
Like many other "As Seen on TV" products, many customers appear to have been dissatisfied with how the Power Pressure Cooker XL performed and/or its overall quality. As such, numerous HighYa readers claimed that the Power Pressure Cooker XL won't maintain adequate pressure, that it burns food on the inner pot and is almost impossible to clean, and comes with vague directions. Additional complaints referenced that the timer doesn't work, the unit takes 20 minutes to pressurize before you can begin cooking, and that canning does not work 2000 feet above sea level. Even for those below 2,000 feet in elevation, some readers claimed that the Power Pressure Cooker XL has a tendency to break jars.
Also, it's interesting to note that one of the Power Pressure Cooker XL's promotional videos shows pulled pork being slow cooked over the course of 10 hours. However, most pressure cooker recipes recommend between 50 minutes and 1 hour 15 minutes (see here and here as examples) to cook pulled pork, which means that the device may not always cook food 70% faster as the manufacturer claims.
Our Final Review & Observation on the Power Pressure Cooker XL
Despite how attractive the Power Pressure Cooker XL infomercial and TV commercials make it seem, can it really help you cook more delicious meals with less effort? Perhaps, but in order to avoid some of the potential issues HighYa reviewers claimed to have experienced in their reviews, including excessive shipping times, very high S&H charges, and poor customer service, you'll likely want to purchase the pressure cooker from a local retailer, such as Walmart. However, even by doing so, most HighYa readers appear to have been dissatisfied with the Power Pressure Cooker XL's overall performance.
With this said, it's important to note that several consumers were pleased with the XL's performance, and in response to other negative reviews, they stated that the bad experiences may be partly due to unfamiliarity using a pressure cooker from any manufacturer. Also, while some reviewers claimed that the Power Pressure Cooker XL often burned their food, this may be simple to avoid by reading the instructions and not over-cooking your food. As such, this specific complaint may not be directly related to the Power Pressure Cooker itself.
To conclude, the vast majority of consumer reviews here on HighYa are related to shipping times and customer service issues, not necessarily to the Power Pressure Cooker XL itself. Because of this, if we were to filter out these reviews, the Power Pressure Cooker XL would likely receive a much higher rating.
With this said, as consumers ourselves, we might recommend that you purchase the pressure cooker at your local Wal-Mart for about $80. And should you be dissatisfied with its performance, you'll then have the convenience of an absolutely hassle-free return process, without any additional fees.

Excellent cooker
Upgraded from a stove top pressure cooker. I Used that for years but wanted something a little easier. I purchased this for myself. I have used it almost everyday since I bought it. Dinner is on the table super fast. I have cooked spaghetti squash in 8 minutes. Steamed corn on the cob. Hard boiled eggs in 4 minutes. Greatest kitchen appliance ever.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

love it
At first I was skeptical, then I bought my Turbo XL, gave it a try. I love it. Quick meals. I BBQ one day and the next day put it in my the meat and BBQ sauce on the cooker, in a few minutes great tasting meat so tender a baby can eat it. I even tried the lasagna recipe, it was great.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love, love, love it!
I don't know what I would do without it. I work long hours and have gained weight due to all the fast food. I have used it 6 times and have nothing but great things to say. Chicken soup, chicken Cacciatore, chicken tikka masala, beef stew, chicken and wild rice. I food prep for the week and freeze it in freezer safe containers. I bought mine from a home shopping program and would whole heatedly recommend it. I've lost a few pounds too.
Yes it may take a few minutes to pressurize, clean the kitchen while you wait. No big deal. It it so easy and it's perfect for those that are busy or never have time to cook. Easy to clean. I use soap and a paper towel so I'm not sure why people think it's difficult. Instruction can be better and it should come with a cookbook but hey, that's why I get all my recipes online. Great investment.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Watch out
The product, at best is seriously overpriced. What's worse is that these guys are the classic crooks hiding behind your TV set. All the "free bonus items" were missing from my order. When I called, at first they could not locate my order. Next, I was told the offer I responded to did NOT include free cookbook, etc. When I said I taped the commercial they suddenly remembered that they were sure they had mailed it, and on and on. With online sellers like Amazon and brick & mortar stores like Walmart, there is no reason to deal with scam artists. Caveat emptor!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love It
I absolutely love this Power Pressure Cooker. You can brown vegetables or meat before adding liquid and using the power pressure to finish cooking. I love it.
The food is delicious and no hassle to make.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When you say one touch that's false. First you snap the lid on and it says all 0000s. Then you wait and maybe it starts to go through a cycle of dots that swirl around and around as pressure builds. Then you push the cook button, it says meat, etc., and nothing happens. That's after the swirly dot show. Then it goes to all 0000s again, then push a button and it says meat, chicken, whatever. Then wait, it may do another swirly dots thing for 5 or 10 minutes, then all 0000s again. Then push the time adjust button and you get to raise the minutes to 10, 20, 30, etc., and hope it starts counting down. If it does the count down, release the steam button. Meat is probably cooked but use caution lifting the lid, there is still hot steam inside and it can burn you. I'll be ok, just a small burn.
I like the finished product but what a job to figure out the how to start it cooking. Any suggestions? I push every button an old guy can push, catch my breath, come back and wow it's counting down.
Don't try the chat route, unless you got a week to spare. Instructions stink and buttons may or may not work.
But I am using it. Like an addict I'd give it a 3 because of the difficulty in getting it going to actually cook. Some things are cooked, some need a little more time, so back goes the lid, and start playing with buttons again. It has an attitude but I may win eventually.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

5 stars
Received this as a birthday gift on my B-Day! Neat huh? Just made a pot roast with veggies in 25 minutes. The meat was tender and the veggies perfect. We loved it! Hope all my experiences with it are as good.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love the Power Pressure Cooker
About 2 years ago I ordered the Power Pressure Cooker Pro 6 quart. It was everything that was advertised. With my very busy schedule I can make dinner for my family of 7 in 25 minutes or less. I have never had a problem. Today I ordered the 10 quart XL, and can't wait until it arrives. I will use my Pro in our RV, so I can make fast and healthy meals when we travel. Thanks to the makers of the Power pressure Cooker, you made my life so much easier.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Can't live without it
Just want to say that my experience with the Pressure Cooker XL has been very good. I've had mine for a little over a year but unfortunately it gave out about a week ago. I use mine almost every day. I make tamales, pinto beans, BBQ on bun and so much more. I need to order another one, but this time I will order the 10 quart. I have a family of 8 so will go for a bigger one this time.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Children's Literature - Melissa Joy AdamsLegends about people rising from the dead to hunt humans and feast on their flesh have been around since the Middle Ages. These legends generated during this time because people were sometimes accidentally being buried alive. When these people escaped from their unfortunate fate by climbing out of their graves, it caused people to believe they have risen from the dead when in fact they were alive the whole time. Rooney presents the reader with the various zombie legends and discusses what in real life caused these different legends to develop. Voodoo and the process Voodoo sorcerers use to create zombies are addressed before Rooney delves into the real-life stories of people claiming to have once been zombies. Are zombies real or fictional? Scientific facts and rationale answer this question. Following the basic components of the "Crabtree Contact" series, this book deals with a subject children will readily enjoy and presents this subject through straightforward language and alluring, yet often grotesque, graphics. A glossary and index are also provided to assist the reader, making the book especially good as a tool for quick and easy research. Readers already familiar with zombie legends will find this book too simplistic and lacking depth. Reluctant readers and those learning about zombies for the first time will be pleased with this book. Reviewer: Melissa Joy Adams

Nikon Coolpix S570 review
May 10, 2010 • Review of Nikon Coolpix S570
I just purchased this camera today. I own a Nikon D300 with a 18-135mm, 70-300mm VR and a 50mm 1.8 (all Nikon lens). I love the D300 but wanted something small to carry with me at all times. The features are great and the quality of pictures so far are AWESOME. The only thing I could say that it doesn't have is the three main shooting modes (shutter priority, aperture priority and manual), but I have those on the D300. The quality of this camera for the price is outstanding! I highly recommend it!
no problems so far!

Botts ready for World Series
Throwing a no-hitter does not come often for some pitchers, but it just seems to be natural for 11 year-old Emily Botts.
Throwing for the Southern Heat squad out of Ecru, the West Union native has pitched eight so far this year, with her most recent coming on July 10.
And just for kicks, she added a perfect game three days earlier, helping lead her team to a state championship.
In the two games, Botts registered nine strikeouts in the perfect game and eight in the no-hitter. Both outings came against a Neshoba County-based team, 8-0 and 11-0, respectively.
Botts has known nothing but softball, as she began playing at age two and organized ball at age four. Now playing for the Southern Heat, she has the opportunity to compete with girls from around the area and is looking forward to her second trip to the World Series in Southaven.
The biggest credit to her game comes from her pitching coach, Jason Taylor. The father of one of the top pitchers to come through Union County recently, Taylor has worked with several on the staff of the Southern Heat, who combined to allow only two runs and one hit in their state tournament appearance.
"He's very tough, but he's a good coach and I enjoy working with him," Botts said.
Now Botts and the Southern Heat are preparing for the World Series, which will take place from July 20-24.
"I'm excited," Botts said. "I've made a lot of friends with the team and it's fun for us to play for a World Series championship. I thank them for helping me defensively accomplish what I have."

Location-based services are the province of the young.
The local spoon near where I live is known for its gyros, chicken kabobs and burgers. A no-frills diner, Johnny's has not changed much in years. A small flat-panel television for diners to watch that replaced a dying tube TV is the only change I've noticed in nearly seven years.
I suspect that Nick, and his brother Magic, who own Johnny's, like it that way. That is why I was a little surprised a few weeks ago to see a Facebook check-in deals decal behind the counter. If I showed Nick, who usually works the cash register, that I checked in at Johnny's on Facebook, I could get a free medium soft drink with a purchase of $5 or more.
If Nick tracked the ages of the people who take advantage of the check-in deal he would discover I am one of the few in my age group who take the time to use a location-based service to get a deal. According to a comScore Inc. MobiLens analysis of 16.7 million U.S. mobile subscribers who use check ins, only 9.7% of adults age 45 to 54 check in at a merchant. Most of those who check in are younger: 58.5% are between 18 and 34 years old. In its analysis, comScore found that 12.7 million of all check-ins were made with a smartphone.
That is about what I expected. Of my friends, it is the younger ones who typically use check-in services. I've tried some, but stopped using them once the novelty wore off. Last year I used Foursquare, another location-based service, for several months, but found only one merchant offering a coupon I could actually use. That was at Ram Restaurant and Brewery for a free cup of soup. Starbucks has a Foursquare deal for a $1 discount on a beverage, but only if you are the mayor—as Foursquare calls those who check in the most at a location—of that particular store. Have you seen the volume of 18- to 34-year-olds that move through a Starbucks? No way would I ever be mayor of a Starbucks.
But I could be mayor of Johnny's, or, better yet, just check in on Facebook, get a free soft drink and not worry about someone half my age trying to unseat me.

Horizon Lines, Inc. (NYSE: HRZ), aleading U.S. domestic ocean shipping and integrated logistics company, announced it will launch express intermodal container service to key inland U.S. cities when it begins the new Five Star Express (FSX) trans-Pacific liner service in December. The maiden FSX voyage is scheduled to depart Ningbo, China, on December 14, 2010, Shanghai on December 15, and arrive in Los Angeles on December 26. Approximately 60% of the initial voyage is already subscribed, as the company continues to make steady progress toward its goal of 75% bookings for the first sailing.
"As other carriers reduce service locations and slow service speeds, U.S. shippers continue to tell us they want fast and reliable service alternatives not only port-to-port, but inland to final destinations as well," Brian Taylor, Senior Vice President of International Services at Horizon Lines, said in a presentation to journalists in China. "At a time when U.S. retailers are maintaining lower inventory levels and placing more logistics responsibilities on their manufacturing partners here in China, our Five Star Express service offers a fast and reliable transit schedule to keep supply chains running smoothly."
Horizon Lines plans to offer some of the fastest inland transit times in the industry, including 15-day availability in Kansas City from Shanghai and 16-day availability in Dallas, using scheduled intermodal rail service from Los Angeles every week. The carrier also will offer express inland service to Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta and Charlotte using on-dock rail connections to avoid drayage fees on the West Coast, saving customers time and expense. Horizon Lines plans to expand the inland express network to other locations throughout the United States next year.
Horizon Lines is able to offer a cost-effective inland service because of operational synergies with the carrier's domestic U.S. shipping network serving export customers to Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii and Guam. Delivering imports inland to these markets will provide a more stable supply of containers in locations where many shippers struggle to find available container capacity. Horizon Lines maintains strong relationships and direct electronic data interchange integration with the nation's railroad operators, facilitating the delivery of quality service.
"We do not operate in a one-size-fits-all supply chain," Taylor said. "Our niche focus to provide reliable scheduling, fast transits and quality customer service offers a compelling alternative in the market at the right time."
Five of Horizon Lines' vessels currently call ports in China under its transportation services agreement with Maersk Line, and this trans-Pacific service has been in place since December 1999. Once this agreement expires on December 10, 2010, Horizon Lines will begin transporting general cargo from Ningbo and Shanghai on behalf of direct commercial customers. Sales and marketing efforts for the service have been formally underway since March. In addition to offering customers a trans-Pacific import alternative, the new Five Star Express service will allow Horizon Lines to better accommodate an expanding military presence in Guam, where trade is expected to grow significantly in coming years. The Five Star Express service will connect with Horizon Lines' warehousing and distribution capabilities on the U.S. West Coast and intermodal rail service to inland destinations to create an integrated import/export solution.
