Excerpt: "We switch things up a bit to bring you our cornerbacks coach Peter Giunta. Giunta is a favorite to speak with because he's very candid. We found his responses to questions about Corey Webster to be of particular interest.
Q: Jayron Hosley had a bit of a bumpy rookie year last season. Did he have too much on his plate last year that slowed him down a bit in his development as a corner?
A: No, I don't think so. I think what happened with him, every time he started to make progress, he'd be injured and would be out 2-3 weeks, and wasn't able to practice or compete and play in games. That' sets you back, especially as a rookie. So take the Jets game, every time he starts to make progress, he gets hurt. Carolina game, he has a really good game making plays, and then he gets hurt. That's unfortunate for him, so he has to learn to take care of his body better, get himself in shape and do the kind of things that he needs to do to become a more durable player because he has the talent to be a good football player at this level.
Q: Does he have a good grasp of the playbook and of the technique, you want him to play?
A: He's learning. He's becoming a better technician, playing inside and playing outside, so he's developing those skills to play both the nickel and corner spot, and he got experience doing both last year. There's a lot playing the nickel spot and the more he does it, like we discussed earlier, with the injuries, you start getting the reps you need and start gaining the experience and then suddenly you don't have it so you only gain those 2 weeks in one spot and then you're away from it for four. So it's hard that way when you lose that time. You need experience to play that spot. The more experience you get, the better you'll get. He can play any of the corner spots we need him to, so that's huge.
Q: What are your thoughts about Corey Webster's play last season? Is he on the decline or does he still have some gas left in the tank?
A: Corey will be better. He's been working very hard to come back and be a better player, become more like he was more at the end of the 2011 season when we had that run and he was very consistent in his performance. And that's what we're looking for, for Corey to be a consistent performer for us this year.
Q: So is it safe to say that the injuries he dealt with last year were a big reason in his performance drop off or was there more to it?
A: Part of it was the injuries and part of it was my fault. I'm trying to bring Prince and Jayron along and you're thinking, "Corey is okay,' so you're not devoting enough time with him as you might be with the other guys, so you're putting it on him being the veteran to find his own way. I think maybe I kind of left Corey alone too much." Read more...

Video Recap: Mad Decent's Block Party in NYC
After posting yesterday's full on coverage from this past weekend's Mad Decent Block Party in New York City, I realized that I shot video during the course of the day, but woops, forgot to include the clips in said rundown of the event.
In turn, here are three videos from the affair: one from Das Racist (featuring Leif) doing Jungle Fever, Bosco Delrey shredding on guitar, and Ricky Blaze getting the girls to go wild for Keep it Goin' Louder.

CINEMA DSP Digital™
Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby® Digital and DTS Digital Surround™ decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP Digital™ is much more advanced; actually creating independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects located in separate sound fields, you will hear sound with directionality, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and presence.
Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed with a pair of headphones.
Compressed Music Enhancer
Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original recording as possible.
SCENE – A New Level of Operating Ease
With most AV components, watching or listening to what you want requires a number of steps. You have to turn on the AV receiver, turn on another component like a Blu-ray Disc™ player, select the source, select the surround mode and then press play. With the SCENE feature from Yamaha, all you need to do is press one button and both components turn on, the correct DSP setting is made, and play begins.

YPAO™ Automatic System Calibration
The Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level, until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room.

The sample size remains what it was. Maarten's informal but to me convincing argument is in terms of how much information you have per equation, and the answer is "Not much as you appear to think".

To avoid confusion, always replace spark plugs and wires one at a time.
Replacing spark plugs and wires one at a time will help prevent incorrect wire routing or cross-firing resulting from an incorrect firing order. If more than one wire is to be disconnected at a single time, be sure to tag all of the cables to assure proper installation. Also, be disconnecting the cables, compare the firing order and routing to these diagrams and note any differences for installation purposes. This will help assure the wires are properly installed.

Two of the world's most popular travel review sites have found themselves in the middle of a corporate war over the authenticity of consumer reviews brought on by a company representing hoteliers.
At stake is the ability of consumers to contribute reviews of hotels and airlines without being intimidated by service providers who they judge to be sub-standard.
That has proved to be one of the key factors that has made TripAdvisor.com and airlinequality.com a huge success among travellers, even though some travellers have abused the system – by demanding bribes from hoteliers, for example, to avoid a bad review.
UK-based "reputation management" company Kwikchex Ltd first went after TripAdvisor in an attempt to limit damaging reviews of hotels and has now launched a successful action against the consumer ratings company Skytrax Research, which runs airlinequality.com and also the world's most highly rated annual air travel awards, the World Airline Awards.
Kwikchex sought and received rulings from the UK Advertising Standards Authority – against TripAdvisor in January this year and against Skytrax last week. Both companies were found to have made unsubstantiated claims in their advertising.
Kwikchex had attacked "exaggerated claims by TripAdvisor regarding the trustworthiness of reviews on their website, which are all unsubstantiated - without even verification that authors of comments left on the site are genuine customers of the businesses they were reviewing".
"We know that a substantial number are false - both positive and negative reviews and this has been proven many times," Kwikchex said.
Now Skytrax has been forced to change the wording in its advertising following a second approach to the ASA from Kwikchex.
Most of the five rulings by the ASA against Skytrax were highly technical, but centred on whether Skytrax could substantiate customer reviews of airlines when Skytrax deleted review email details after 24 hours to protect the privacy of reviewers.
In fact, as part of its campaign against review sites, Kwikchex is demanding that businesses reviewed by TripAdvisor.com and airlinequality.com should be able to contact the reviewer – a process that would almost stop the system of consumer reviews in its tracks.
Both TripAdvisor.com and airlinequality.com refuse to allow that.
While hoteliers have complained that malicious reviewers have damaged their businesses, if businesses know the identity of a consumer reviewer, they can pursue them or even harass them. In fact, a Canadian restaurateur did just that, pursuing a consumer who posted a review at restaurantthing.com, and now faces possible jail time for defamatory libel.
"Because Skytrax did not have the ability to track a review back to its source after the first 24 hours, and therefore could not demonstrate the verification process to which any one particular review on the site had been subjected, we concluded that they did not hold sufficient evidence to substantiate the claims 'Checked and trusted airline review' and 'REAL travellers with REAL opinions!," the ASA said in its ruling.
But Skytrax said in a statement: "After complaints to an advertising regulator by a self-appointed critic of review sites, Skytrax were requested to change some review website wording.
"The ASA requested change of 'trusted and genuine' wording for user reviews. This was due to our data privacy policy, by which a user's personal e-mail details are deleted 24 hours after a review is checked, accepted or rejected.
"In applying this data privacy process to personal details, the ASA said we could not track a review back to its source after this 24 hour authentication period. A strange way to reward openness and an honest commitment to respect our users, but they are the regulator."
Skytrax says in its Editorial Policy at airlinequality.com: "It is accepted that a dissatisfied customer is more likely to submit feedback about their travel experiences than a satisfied customer.
"Skytrax do not want to run forums that portray a prejudiced level of comment for airlines or airports, and our web editors apply a judicious and careful policy to publication of comments. We stress that all reviews we feature are users' opinions, and should be considered as just that - the user opinion and not a declared fact."
There is much at stake, but I think it will take more than a group of businesses that have copped bad reviews from their customers to sink these web juggernauts. Both systems can be abused because a small percentage of people can and do behave badly, but Tripadvisor.com and airlinequality.com are both brilliant concepts, in my opinion, and I think they deserve their followings.
Since Tripadvisor was first discussed in a blog last year, have you used airlinequality.com? Have you ever used an airline on the website's recommendation and found it didn't earn its reputation? Do you share Kwikchex's concern that both websites need further curbs?
•In response to this blog, TripAdvisor's Asia-Pacific advisor, Jean Ow-Yeong, released a lengthy statement to Traveller's Check on Tuesday, November 13, 2012:
"TripAdvisor democratised the travel industry. The company was built on three key principles: to give travellers a voice and place to share their experiences, to promote transparency in the travel industry, and to create a level playing field for travel businesses to reach travellers, regardless of size. These principles continue to be the lifeblood of our company.
Nothing is more important to us than the authenticity of our reviews. We have a world-class international team of specialists who spend 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making sure our reviews are real.
TripAdvisor is the world's largest travel site. We have more than 60 million visitors to the site monthly and more than 32 million registered members globally. People continue to join and visit TripAdvisor in increasing numbers because of the usefulness that the traveller reviews and opinions provide.
According to a recent research by PhoCusWright, commissioned by TripAdvisor*, 98% of respondents have found TripAdvisor hotel reviews to be accurate of the actual experience. 92% of respondents agree that TripAdvisor hotel reviews "Help me pick the right hotel for my travel needs".
It is also important to note that the majority of reviews submitted on TripAdvisor are positive and indeed the average rating for is currently 4 (out of 5),
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) took a highly technical view around two marketing phrases that was used in a limited capacity on our UK site only. We have confidence that the 60 million users who come to our site every month trust the reviews they read on TripAdvisor, which is why they keep coming back to us in increasingly larger numbers to plan and have the perfect trip. The ruling has had no material impact on our business. In fact, the number of UK users of the site has grown 30%** over the last two years (**source: comScore August 2012).
We feel the ruling was unrealistic in its expectation of sites likes ours in that the ASA upheld the complaints on the basis that we could not provide 100% certainty that every single review on the site was written by a real traveller and could be trusted. No system, verified or not, could provide this. We made the changes to the marketing copy on the UK website as requested.
We stand by the proven model we already have in place, because we believe all travellers, not just the one individual who made the reservation or has the receipt, are entitled to share their honest feedback about where they have stayed. Verification or requiring a proof of stay would dramatically reduce the number of reviews on the site, and we know from user feedback that our visitors value both the quantity and quality of the reviews available.
Our community of travellers is at the heart of TripAdvisor. Firstly, without them consumers wouldn't have the millions of reviews, opinions and photos from which to tap into before making an informed decision as to which property is right for them. In addition, consumers can send a direct message to other reviewers for more information about their stay through our member-to-member messaging on the site, see another reviewer's travel style (e.g. splurge, thrifty) and also find out about a traveller's trip purpose (e.g. leisure, business). And, for consumers who have a Facebook account, they are also able to see the reviews of their friends by name, and their friend's friends.
Another great way to get more detail on TripAdvisor is through our forums. The majority of posts are answered by the community within 24 hours.
We understand the importance that the reviews and opinions on TripAdvisor have to properties and businesses listed on the site. TripAdvisor has been monitoring tens of millions of reviews submitted over the past decade, and as a result, we can identify patterns of suspicious activity by utilizing sophisticated filters and behavioural modelling to scan reviews. We monitor and evaluate hundreds of different attributes associated with electronic correspondence, such as IP address, the type of browser being used and even screen resolution of the reviewer's device. Suspicious activity is then flagged to our investigations team of dedicated agents who use a variety of additional confidential investigative methods designed to identify potential fraud.
We have a world-class international team of nearly 100 content specialists. This team is able to work in all 21 languages that we support on our global sites. The team has a wide range of fraud detection backgrounds, from a range of industries, and utilise sophisticated data mining, visualisation and analytic tools to uncover trends and patterns of abuse.
As well as our automated tools, we encourage our community of travellers and businesses alike to report any content they feel is suspicious or inappropriate. Every single report is investigated by the team above and any review found to be in breach of our policies will be taken down immediately.
We recommend that owners contact us via the Management Centre, on the TripAdvisor site (www.tripadvisor.com.au/owners), using the links provided to ensure that their queries are channelled to the teams that are best equipped to deal with their enquiry as quickly and efficiently as possible.
For all published reviews, we also strongly encourage owners to give their side of the story by posting a management response to reviews on their property. This gives the business the last word and allows users to read both sides of the story before making a decision on whether a property is right for them. We strongly encourage business owners to take advantage of this feature, so their voice can be heard as well.
According to a recent research by PhoCusWright, commissioned by TripAdvisor*, 84% of users agree that an appropriate management response to a bad review "improves my impression of the hotel" and 78% of users agree that seeing a hotel management response to reviews "makes me believe that it cares more about its guests".
*According to a September 2012 PhoCusWright survey of 2,739 respondents. Participants for the study were solicited at random through a pop-up invitation link on TripAdvisor.com."

Town Square
PA may take CPI to Court
Original post made by safetyspeeking, Barron Park, on Oct 26, 2006
"Following an initial probe, the city required CPI to hire an outside investigator to figure out exactly what happened and to outline how to avoid such a release in the future, Firth said."
Firth is the Fire Marshal.
I wonder how this be an impartial and fair investigation if CPI hires someone to investigate itself. Sounds strange to me. Why didn't the Fire Department do its own investigation ? Isn't that what they're trained and paid to do? If the Fire Department really can't do the investigation, why didn't they hire some outside investigator?

My understanding is that the Fire Dept has done its own investigation of the incident. The Fire Dept also required that in addition to CPI's internal investigation, CPI was required to contract with an independent third party expert to review their practices and the incident.
The Planning Commission meeting on this past Wed addressed the future Zoning Code "Performance Standards". The purview of this meeting was to review the broader policy issues rather the CPI issue in particular. However, the CPI incident was adressed by the public and certainly was part of the framework for the policy discussion. the Commission had good input from neighbors, the Fire Dept and Planning Dept staff. The staff will be returning to the Planning Commission in the next few weeks with responses to the Commission's requests and recommendations.

Resident et al,
The follow-up Planning & Transportation Commission meeting is this Wednesday, Nov 1, (Item 2 following a 6 pm study session), ...
... but please read on ...
There are two key areas with regard to the accidental release of nitric acid from CPI on February 2.
The first is fairly well understood: The forthcoming report of the city-attorney and fire-department investigation, corrective action implemented, and potential punitive measures imposed.
The second crucial concept, however, is only now entering public, city commission, and city council consciousness. That is, how and why a facility with such an extremely high level of toxic substances should be so close to a residential neighborhood, and what the city should now do to prevent this from ever happening again.
Thanks to the detailed research of Barron Park's Arthur Liberman, we now know that CPI is in a select group of one of only about 20 sites in the entire county with levels of certain hazardous materials so high that it is covered by a special program, the California Accidental Release Management Program (CalARP), often referred to by its section in the California Health & Safety Code, "Title 19."
The Title 19 threshold substances at CPI include 4161 lbs of nitric acid (over four times the threshold level) and 631 pounds of potassium cyanide (over 6 times the threshold level). A third substance, hydrogen gas, is just under the Title 19 threshold level.
Under Title 19 regulations, CPI must file a risk management plan for approval with the county. Within the worst-case scenarios in their most recent risk management plan is the reaction of a quantity of potassium cyanide with an acid (for example, nitric acid) released over 10 minutes to a "toxic endpoint" of 0.2 miles. Refer to your high school chemistry, and then dwell briefly on the resultant gas from such a reaction.
But current policy in the planning department is that Title 19 sites are not any of their business. Hazardous materials above certain "exempt" quantities are allowed in various "industrial" zones in the city, and the county deals with the oversight of these sites.
Palo Alto's Fire Department handles the "technical" matters of inspections, compliance, and response, if needed.
The Title 19 toxics issue has recently come up within the context of a new hazardous materials section in revised "Performance Criteria," currently before the Planning & Transportation Commission. Performance criteria are designed to deal with potential adverse impacts of commercial and industrial areas that are near residential neighborhoods.
Within the new hazardous materials section, the city is proposing to notify residents of risk management plans filed with the county.
This is appropriate and necessary, but hardly sufficient.
The city must regulate Title 19 facilities, and at a minimum, ban new ones adjacent to residential neighborhoods.
Anything less is a prescription for potential disaster.

Ambulance dispute continues in El Paso County
Colorado Springs seeks license from county Tuesday
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - While El Paso County leaders wait for Colorado Springs to agree on a new contract for ambulance service, the city plans to ask the county for an ambulance license.
At Tuesday's county commissioners' meeting, the city's fire department expects to request a license to operate two squad vehicles as medical transports. The fire department plans such a use only when American Medical Response, the major local ambulance provider, has no ambulances available -- which has happened around a dozen times this year.
Commissioner Sallie Clark said she doesn't oppose the license for that purpose, because she wants the squad vehicles to meet safety requirements as required by state law. But she said granting the license while the city continues to negotiate a new contract with AMR could set a dangerous precedent.
"If the city goes on its own, then how does that erode the system in the entire county?" said Clark. "And what does that mean for the smaller fire districts that really depend on that cohesive system, in addition to will that raise rates in the city limits?"
Clark said she has heard from several sources that the city is trying to get an additional $1 million in the new AMR contract, and use the money to set up medical clinics at some fire stations. She's concerned that higher rates will help pay for the clinics.
"The city just got out of the hospital business, and now they're getting back in?" she said, referring to the recent sale of Memorial Hospital. "And they want to get into the ambulance business, too? Essentially, it puts our citizens at risk because we don't know what's going to happen. We need to have these discussions out in the open."
Clark said the issue has been unresolved for about three months, and she has yet to hear from city officials about what they plan to do. She says the longer the delay, the harder it will be for the county and its partners to renegotiate their AMR contract if the city chooses not to resign.
City officials were unavailable for comment Monday, as was AMR general manager Ted Sayer.
The city risks breaking established mutual aid and intergovernmental agreements with several communities, Clark said, by failing to agree on the new AMR contract.
Clark also is on the board of the Emergency Service Agency. The 12-member board oversees ambulance service in the county. Clark said the county and the ESA approved the city's AMR contract but were surprised to learn the city continued to negotiate with AMR.
At the ESA's previous meeting, Clark said the city was supposed to have a representative present to provide an update on the contract, but no representative was present. She said she hopes the city will send one at the next scheduled meeting on Wednesday.
Tuesday's commissioners' meeting begins at 9 a.m. at Centennial Hall, 200 South Cascade Avenue in downtown Colorado Springs.

Found this interesting about capping times for emergency queen cells, which is often of concern when making splits.
"The average interval from egg laying to queen cell capping was 8.8 days and ranged from 7 to 12 days. The average interval from queen cell capping to queen emergence was 7.2 days and ranged from 5 to 8 days. The whole development time from egg laying to queen emergence was 15.7 days, ranging from 14 to 18 days. The age of brood at the moment of dequeening positively correlated with both the time of capping and the total queen development time. The average age of brood (at time of dequeening) around which queen cells were built was 3.0 days. However, higher proportions of queen cells with younger larvae were destroyed; in effect, the age of brood at dequeening from which queens emerged was 3.4 days. "
The experiment used only 4 colonies.

Student Health Services offers free HIV testing

Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(Jan. 31, 2006)--Hope Action Care (HAC) will be sponsoring free HIV testing at the UTSA Student Health Services throughout the next three months. Testing will be available at both campuses and is strictly confidential.
Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that approximately 40,000 persons become infected with HIV each year. This is why UTSA feels that it is important to provide students with free information and services.
HAC was started to provide HIV community education and risk prevention in Hispanic communities since 1987. Now HAC provides health education, health promotion, and support services to disabled, low-income, or homeless persons and their families.
In 2005, seven HAC community educators did street outreach to 8,199 persons, and made 271 small group presentations to an additional 4,411 people. As a result of this educational outreach, 1,879 persons were tested for HIV; twenty-eight new cases were diagnosed and referred to direct medical and social services.

text: I'm not sure it will happen after this season, but I believe Romo will at the most play out his contract and call it quits. That's my prediction based on him tabling contract talks ... and no longer looking like he's enjoying the game. I don't think Romo is a player who needs the game, like some do. He can walk away content with spending time with his wife and child and working on his golf game. Especially considering the offensive line play that's getting him beat up and the way fans and media treat him.

One of the charms of pugs like Mason is the fact that they are very different to many other breeds of dog. This does however mean that there are several things that you need to consider before you get yourself a pug – particularly if you have never had a pug before and do not have regular contact with someone who has had pugs before. As a pug owner you have a duty and responsibility to provide your pug with the healthiest and happiest life possible, regardless of cost in terms of time and money. Owning a pug is a big commitment. At the end of the day your pug will be a member of your family as opposed to a possession to show off to the world
Pugs cost REAL money
As well as the initial cost of buying a pug there are also several ongoing costs that you need to be aware of before making the decision to buy one. The first and most important of these is your pugs annual boost injections. These help to build your pug's immune system so that he can have a healthy and happy life. Without annual booster injections your pug – like any other dog – can become very ill from even the simplest of infections that are easily transmitted from the outside environment.
As well as annual boosters your pug will also need regular flee and worming treatment. As a general rule your pug should be wormed every 3 months, and he should receive flea treatment every month. While fleas are not an imminent health risk to a dog or human, it is good hygiene to ensure that your pug is free from fleas and worms at all times. Remember that dogs spend a lot of time outside and they do not have daily baths or showers like humans do.
It's unfortunate but pugs tend to come with a number of health issues. While some pugs may live their entire life very healthily with no problems at all, others may be much more susceptible to the common health problems that can affect pugs of any age. It is not essential but it is often recommended that you take out an insurance policy for your pug as soon as you purchase them.
Most insurers will not insure against pre-existing medical conditions so insuring your pug puppy from day one will ensure that they are covered. Although pug owners are lucky in that antibiotics and medication doesn't cost anywhere near as much as it would for a much larger dog, surgical procedures on small dogs such as pugs can be very expensive due to the complicated nature of the operations performed. A simple condition such as a water infection can easily turn into something much more sinister such as a liver shunt for which corrective surgery costs can run into multiple thousands – whether successful or not. Having insurance means that you don't have to make that unbearable decision if your pug is struck down with health issues and you cannot afford to pay for the treatment required.
Though all dogs require food, it's particularly important to ensure that your pug has a balanced diet due to the high risk of weight issues associated with the breed. A well-balances and specially formulated diet for pugs will be slightly more expansive than most normal dog foods, so it's worth considering when planning whether you can afford a pug or not. A home cooked diet is one of the healthiest options for your pug and is a lot cheaper than some of the formulated diets, so it is always worth considering this option. It's worth noting though that it will take more time to prepare a home diet for your pug so you will not have the convenience of the food already being made up. Compared to other dogs, pugs do not require a large amount of food so the costs should be manageable, just make sure you can afford to feed your pug the recommended amount of food twice a day.
You may be forgiven for thinking that owning a pug won't cost much more than the food, vet bills and healthcare, however you also need to consider the cost of toys and accessories for your pug. You will inevitably find that you are always spending money on your pug whether it is on that extra treat when you are in the supermarket, that squeaky toy that you know they will love or even that designer bomber jacket that they beg you to buy them so that they can look handsome. Add to this the cost of any shoes or slippers that your pug will end up stealing from you to chew up and you can see why buying a pug is definitely not a decision to be taken lightly!!

Visitor maps not outdated in app age
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - When it comes to serving tourists this summer you can't just throw all your resources into new technology and ignore the road map that's helped travelers for decades become familiar with Colorado Springs.
In this day and age when many people use their smartphones to find restaurants, bars and businesses they want to visit it seems illogical to spend money on updating paper maps, generally handed out for free.
"I'd never use a map," said Larry Kennard, a traveler from San Diego. "I can't say it's a bad use of money but I would never use it."
Kennard said he feels many people are comfortable with sites like Google or Mapquest and don't necessarily need to visit a city's website or visitor's bureau to get around an unfamiliar city like Colorado Springs.
Kennard traveled to Colorado for a Denver-area concert with his friend Cory Kochiyama. Kochiyama said even though he did a lot of online research on Colorado before visiting the Centennial state, he still likes to rely on a printed map if one is readily available.
"A lot of them have more information than just an app," said Cochiyama.
Both the Colorado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Downtown Partnership invest in maps and apps. Chelsy Murphy, with the CVB, said some visitors want variety and others want to stick to one or the other.
Murphy said one reason smartphone users prefer an app is because it uses the information from your phone to give you information on attractions that are close by.
"It's very visual and it targets where you're at," said Murphy. "If you're standing right here and you want know of somewhere to go eat or stay it's totally free."
Murphy said some people come into the CVB when friends are in town and insist on walking out with maps. Murphy said maps of Colorado Springs are also included in the 550,000 visitor guides printed every year.
"We cater to both groups of people the tech savvy and the ones who want to hold something in their hands," said Murphy.
Colorado Springs Downtown Partnership leaders said they find both forms of distributing information vital as well. Later this year the group plans on spending money to upgrade both printed maps for the downtown area and their online information.
Susan Edmondson pointed out that it's not just apps that can help visitors. She said one of the upgrades will focus on mobile-friendly maps that you don't have to download in order to utilize.


text: Finally in the game. I pulled them down too soon multiple times. This one pictured had a ton of bees on it and pollen coming in so when I went to get it I took down another with some activity and no pollen. The first one I had to leave some behind because they were not all in the box. Pretty much a full box. The bees are very yellow and a lot larger than the bees that I have now. I found the queen and when I went to get out my marking pen I dropped her. The hive seems normal so hopefully I did not screw the pooch. The second one I figured was a loss and did not even put it on the rack but left it by the back door. When it started leaking I opened it up to find a pleasant surprise of a nice little ball of bees. I had a frame from a cut out in it that was half drawn and a new medium. They drawn out most of the medium and build off of the bottom to the bottom of the box. Now I just need to get them where I should have put them. I only had room for 4 hives on the stand, now I need to do something with this one.

Universidad Veracruzana, UTSA to collaborate
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Nov. 19, 2008)--Reciprocating a visit by UTSA President Ricardo Romo and a delegation of UTSA officials last summer, the Universidad Veracruzana sent a delegation to San Antonio, Monday, Nov. 17.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

UTSA's relationship with the Universidad Veracruzana began with a joint contract from USAID and the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Tony Garza, to lead the establishment of the national Mexican Network of Small Business Development Centers across Mexico, based on UTSA's model.
With the university expanding its efforts to offer global experiences to its students, UTSA expressed an interest in expanding this relationship to incorporate academics. During the June visit, UTSA and UV signed a memorandum of understanding, stating mutual intentions to enter into a partnership. Proposals include faculty and student exchanges and research collaboration.
The Veracruz delegation will tour the 1604 Campus for an overview on UTSA's research capabilities. Individual meetings will follow, introducing faculty members to their counterparts in the fields of immigration, nanotechnology, water resources, business and economic development. The meetings will help determine specific areas where the universities might collaborate.
"The University of Veracruz offers a multitude of opportunities for UTSA and is an important strategic ally for our UTSA initiatives with Mexico," said Romo.
During the visit, Romo and Rector Raúl Arias Lovillo of the Universidad Veracruzana both stressed the importance of higher education in economic development. Mexico has established 54 small business development centers, primarily headquartered on university campuses. Some campuses have developed certificate programs for small business counselors and 750 individuals have received certification as small business developers. The collaboration with UTSA proposes the establishment of an Institute for Economic Development to study applied economics and international trade.
Other proposed areas of collaboration include immigration and nanotechnology. Pedro Javier García Ramírez, UV professor of micro and nanotechnology, has expressed an interest in working with UTSA's Miguel Jose Yacaman, an authority on nanotechnology, to reduce automobile emissions.
Harriett Romo, director of the UTSA Mexico Center and professor of sociology, expressed interest in working with Carlos Garrido de la Calleja, UV professor of migration. The Mexico Center recently received grants to study the migration of children and families in the border region, small business and border culture, citizenship and small business, and security and small business. The Mexico Center proposes faculty and student exchanges with the Universidad Veracruzana.
Other members of the Veracruz delegation are Vice President for Community Services Francisco Fernández Rodriguez; Director General Rosario Valencia of the Mexican Association of SBDCs; Héctor Julián Vargas Rubín of the College of Business; Eric Pascal Houbron, professor of water resources; Enrique Avila of the Mexican Association of SBDCs; and Marco Miguel Muñoz, assessor for Universidad Veracruzana.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The location of the room is great. Right on the beach and not far to the old town and the harbor. It is very small and cramped. Shower and toilet are in the room. The bed is just a sofa-bed. But everything is possible and real for a few days in order. Most of the time one spends so hopefully sowiso out;) The owners are very friendly :)
Die Lage des Zimmers ist super. Direkt am Strand und nicht weit bis zur Altstadt und zum Hafen. Es ist sehr klein und eng. Dusche und WC sind im Zimmer. Das Bett ist nur ein Klappsofa. Es ist aber alles machbar und für ein paar Tage echt in Ordnung. Die meiste Zeit verbringt man ja hoffentlich sowiso draußen ;) Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich :)
A very small room, centrally located and nice. Corine and Thierry are nice and were a little problem right there.
Ein sehr kleines Zimmer, zentral und schön gelegen. Corine und Thierry sind nett und waren bei einem kleinen Problem sofort da.
|My hosts , Corine and Thierry, were most helpful and friendly and "gentils". The location of the studio was absolutely perfect - across the street practically from the beaches and promenade and within walking distance of many things and around the corner of bus stops. However- it is on a busy street and garbage collection is every night between midnight and 01h30 and VERY noisy. It gets full aftenoon sun which makes it very hot in midsummer so that you have to sleep with open windows. Also, it is very very tiny and once the sofa bed is pulled out, there is hardly room to move about or to stand upright. Definitely for one person only!
warm welcome from the owners.
in summer it is too hot
buena acogida de los propietarios.
en verano hace demasiado calor
Corine and Thierry are really friendly and helpfull. This room was a bit small, so when your tall this room is quite the chalange :-). The location was perfect!
Corine and Thierry were very kind and helping with tips and we recieved a gift with a map. The studio is indeed very small. I was there with my 12 year old daughter and it was ok, but it would be to small for two adults. But the location was superb: beach 2 minutes and old Nice about 12 minutes. The only thing we did not like that they came in our room when we where not there to repair the sink and did not leave a message for us and left the used towels with chemical stuff on it in our room. So it smelled a lot and at first we thought someone had been breaking in in the studio. So it would have been nice to leave a message and clean up the towels before leaving.
But we had a wonderful time and Nice is great!
Our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful! The simple but charming apartment is very quiet on hilly and wooded outskirts of Nice, on the property of discrete hosts. The driveway is very steep and getting used to at the beginning. A special plus is the swimming pool on the property! - One week was too short to even begin to see what you could see in this wonderful region. We recommend!
Unsere Gastgeber waren ausserordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit! Die einfache aber charmante Wohnung liegt sehr ruhig am hügligen und bewaldeten Stadtrand von Nizza, auf dem Grundstück der diskreten Gastgeber. Die Zufahrt ist sehr steil und zu Beginn gewöhnungsbedürftig. Ein besonderes Plus ist der Swimming Pool auf dem Grundstück! - Eine Woche war zu kurz, um auch nur ansatzweise das zu sehen, was man in dieser wunderbaren Region sehen könnte. Sehr zu empfehlen!
Fine hosts, super friendly! The apartment was a little small and hot (for 2 persons), but ideally situated in the city! For those who visit during the day many this is the ideal place to sleep!
Fijne gastheer en gastvrouw, super vriendelijk! Het appartement was een beetje klein en warm (voor 2 personen) , maar wel ideaal gelegen in de stad! Voor mensen die overdag veel bezoeken is dit de ideale slaapplaats!
Small apartmet but there are everything you need!
A huge advantage is location!!!
I liked it. So I can suggest it if you don't need a lot of space)

|Incipio Premium Kickstand for BlackBerry PLayBook
User: Rudy L, Mar 28, 2012
|This is a great product! The material is top notch, the fit is exact and very stylish. What is even better, was the ease of ordering and receiving the Kickstand. ShopCrackBerry.com is the place to go for getting the goods on time and at a very affordable rate.
|Best travel case and stand case out there.
User: L C, Aug 19, 2011
I have been using this case for about 2 months now and my overall experience has been excellent.
The case does not add too much bulk to the overall unit. Although its essentially 3 layers (cover, cover, kickstand/PB holder) so the added bulk is expected. The playbook is held in place by sliding it underneath the "claws" which hold the PB at the little lip around the edge. there are 4 clips in total and are meant to be minimalist so that the bezel is entirely accessible.
The way the folder opens, you can hold the PB comfortably in your hand and still reach anywhere on the screen with your thumbs for typing or one handed use. (I have fairly average man hands).
The kickstand works by position it on the notches provided on the cover and works very well with multiple viewing angles.or folded over for angle-table mounted typing. A neat little trick I use to carry around my cleaning cloth is to slip it between the back cover and the kickstand-panel.
Lastly, the elastic that holds the folio closed when you are not using it is a simple yet effective solution to keep the flap closed.
The only drawback from the case is the "claw" like clips. I can see it easily bending out of shape or pulled to a point of breakage if you have small children. My case shipped with a slightly bent out of shape claw, but I just re-shaped it by applying slight pressure. its been perfect ever since.
I could go on, but most of it is self explanitory and Ive touched on some of the best features and the one drawback ive found based on my use
In conclusion, if you are looking for a sleek and discreet travel case that protects your playbook when you toss it in your bag/briefcase this is the one to get.

For the people of the Caribbean, dancing to drums is a way of life.
That's what Sharisse DaSilva told the standing-room-only crowd gathered in E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium for the seventh annual Night of Nations — a student-run showcase of acts from around the world.
"When people think of Caribbean culture, they think that all we do is shake our rumps, but let me tell you something, eh? Our dancing is much more than that," said the public relations major, whose family came from that region. "Yes. You see, we were slaves."
Pema Lhakyi poses in an Indian sari during the pre-show open house. View our Facebook album of Night of Nations for more photos.
Dancing and drums "were our savior," she said, adding that "although the music doesn't sound the same as it did back then, if you listen real hard, you will hear the symbolic beats of a drum, and, if you listen real, real, real, real closely, you will hear our heart beat as it flows through the music and out through our dance moves."
This year's show featured traditional and modern dances from around the world, including capoeira, a martial arts dance from Brazil; a Chinese sleeve dance with long folds of red fabric arcing through the air; and a Korean tribute to the popular "Gangnam Style" video.
Plattsburgh has become a top destination for international students in the SUNY system. The college currently enrolls 345 students, hailing from 63 countries.
The pre-show workshops and activities were informative and interactive with music, slide shows, crafts and discussions that celebrated cultural traditions from around the world," wrote Dean of Education, Health and Human Services Michael Morgan in his blog after viewing the event for the first time. "The show that followed in Giltz by our international students was amazing. It was a standing-room-only event with one of the most diverse audiences I have ever seen in E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium.

Did any one get to watch the senior Short Dance?? Any impressions or reports?
Got home from work abit too late, just saw the tail end of all the Michigan crew. Judging from the score the Shibs and DW must have been spectacular. I got to see Wingle/McKiernan (sp?), respectable job, and Lynn k/logan g.s., I fell in love with their SD all over again, great skate.

Sorry i couln't find the portocol yet, but this should give you some ideas.
It was an excellent competition.
Both the Shibs (10th) & C/Z (8th) skated on the 2nd group. The Shibs skated the best SD for this season. They were poised, clean, and received the first standing ovation of the competition. It was staggering in that they received level 4s on all the elements. Just to give you a perspective, their total score, 70.47 were approximately 2 points higher than the highest SD score D/W received during this season!
Of course D/W rose to the occasion and ended up with approx. 6 points higher than the Shibs. They also received the second standing ovasion of the afternoon.
The other couple I was looking forward to, and was impressed with, was K/G-S (the 4th place finish). They were very expressive and I loved their lift and choreo.
C/Z were ok but I did not expect 9 points difference between them and the Shibs. Should be the interesting FD.
Thanks ^. I saw the scores and was screaming "I can't believe I missed this" (of course, i was at work). Anyway...can't wait to hear live reports (or live computer watching ones too). I haven't seen Lynn K/Logan...but I'll definitely look for them.
Just to give you an interesting perspective, here are the comparative SD scores of the top 5 European championship that just completed and the US top 5 finishers:
1 Nathalie PECHALAT / Fabian BOURZAT
2 Ekaterina BOBROVA / Dmitri SOLOVIEV
3 Sinead KERR / John KERR
4 Elena ILINYKH / Nikita KATSALAPOV
5 Ekaterina RIAZANOVA / Ilia TKACHENKO
1. Meryl Davis/Charlie White 76.04
2. Maia Shibutani/Alex Shibutani 70.47
3. Madison Chock/Greg Zuerlein 61.74
4. Lynn Kriengkrairut/Logan Giulietti-Schmitt 58.59
5. Madison Hubbell/Keiffer Hubbell 57.91
I know you can't compare scores across different competitions. Still US teams come out pretty well, don't you think?
Yes...this is impressive. I really can't wait to watch the top 4-5 from the short dance. I actually haven't had the opportunity to watch the Shibs even once this season, so I really can't wait to see their SD from today. So glad to hear about the standing O too. I expected Davis and White to be fabulous, but it's great to hear they actually were.
thanks for the comparisons...and commentary.
You cant compare National scores. Anyone who thinks the Shibutanis would outscore Pechalat & Bourzat at Worlds for example is on crack.
gold 12345 & pantongfan:
Yes, yes, yes, I know that. That's why I mentioned "you can't compare..."
Still, I watched both competitions, and my impression is that US teams are in good shape. It makes me really happy, especially the Shibs' performance. They were spectacular!
I'm glad Lynn and Logan did so well, love them this season. Having them at Worlds or 4CC would be awesome!
I'm really looking forward to seeing this tomorrow . Apart from D/W ( love 'em ), the Shibs have been the standout this season ,for me , on the US scene. I think they're equally buzz-worthy with I/K on the Russian scene and P/I on the Canadian scene. ( Which is not to shortchange the teams just below them, at all. It's just that sometimes, you get to witness a sort of blossoming that just makes you sit back and go WOW .)
Davis and White had a lovely outing of their SD today. Their maturity was wonderful to see- just a little tiniest bit of wonkiness in the spacing of their twizzles and Meryl was ever so slightly off balance for a moment in the second set. But gorgeous expansive and light.
The big thumbs up goes to the Shibutanis!!! Wow!!! Once they reach their prime they are going to be hard to beat. They have a clarity and control to their movement that's incredible. But they don't become robotic- there's subtle nuance and also passion and fire underneath it too. I love how they've made minor adjustments to the presentation and choreography to give this SD more of a point of view and more of a direct interpretation of the Carousel musical characters. Alex was really playing the part of a carnival barker. This SD was very pretty-pretty at the beginning of the season but with the changes it's become this real character piece with drive and force. Just beautiful.
Meryl and Charlie's SD just finished on NBC. Beautiful, beautiful.
For a second there, I thought they had suddenly skipped all the FD's. Haha.

Reviews of this property
The accommodation can I absolutely recommend. Our house was very comfortable (TV in every room). Kitchen and bathroom is very modern. The lift can be reached easily on foot.
The only downside is the Gastrononmie. Throughout the Alpendorf there is no local. Only pizzas to take away.
I also find it an exaggeration, if you write "Apartment". There is a pool of about 80 houses.
Nevertheless, we will come back because the system is very good.
Die Unterkunft kann ich absolut empfehlen. Unser Haus war sehr komfortabel eingerichtet (TV in jedem Zimmer). Küche und Bad ist sehr modern. Der Lift ist einfach zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Einziger Minuspunkt ist die Gastrononmie. Im ganzen Alpendorf gibt es kein Lokal. Lediglich Pizzas zum Mitnehmen.
Außerdem finde ich es übertrieben, wenn man schreibt "Haus mit Pool". Es gibt einen Pool für ca. 80 Häuser.
Trotzdem werden wir wiederkommen, weil die Anlage sehr gut ist.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

|GTA V Latest News | #GTAV | #GTAOnline
2013 Sunday Reading, interviews with Dan and Sam Houser & Map Size
Grand Theft Auto V - General News | @ 08:15 AM MDT | By Ash_735
For those that are interested the Houser brothers have done a quick interview each with different newspapers, which both details how passionate and how much work they have put into Grand Theft Auto V, the first interview is with Dan Houser from The Guardian, inclduing subjects such as the scope of the game and the constant rejections of Hollywood movie rights to adapt the game to the big screen:
"We spent a minimum of 100 days in Los Angeles on research trips, probably more," he says of production, which began at the height of the US's sub-prime financial crisis in 2010. "Out and about, all night long with weird people, strange cops showing us around, a lot of first-hand research. We spoke to FBI agents that have been undercover, experts in the Mafia, street gangsters who know the slang – we even went to see a proper prison. These poor buggers in the middle of the salt flat desert, miles away. It was eye-openingly depressing."
"LA is this embodiment of 20th-century American desires: the houses, the gardens, the tans, all slightly fake. It's the end of the western world – the suns sets and then it's tomorrow. But the industry is movies or, equally phoney, real estate. It's people trying to escape their pasts and reinvent themselves. If GTA IV was a classic New York story, this is the endpoint of the American dream."
The second interview is with Sam Houser by The Sunday Times, which sadly is behind a pay wall (though I'm sure you can find it around in other places) but you can read a summarised version of it over on EuroGamer.
Meanwhile over on The Scotsman they talk about GTAV's budget and how much it is projected to sell in the first year alone, with some quotes by Aaron Garbut in there to, but what's most interesting about this article is that it confirms the map size:
The new game revolves around a satirical recreation of southern California. With players able to switch between three protagonists, the 49-square-mile world boasts a welter of activities, such as scuba diving with sharks and hijacking trains.

i said this about bradshaw after cowgirls game and i got torched for it. he isnt good anymore thanks for the time ab but "next man up"
2015 season tbd
Andre Brown is basically a brand new running back as far as the condition of his body.
And Brown is fine in pass protection......he wasn't perfect, but he was good enough for Eli to rip up the Bucs and Panthers.
It's a numbers game, and all the numbers are pointing to Bradshaw no longer being a special running back.
Bradshaw would likely be the #2 running back on any other NFL team.
Last edited by joemorrisforprez; 10-02-2012 at 10:23 AM.
If the Giants used Brown, and went up tempo to prevent Philly from rotating, it would have made a difference.
Bradshaw is running with heavy feet.....he's just not the same back as he was a few years back.....his feet, his ankles, and now his neck. Time to turn the page.

Trespass notice foils contractor's attempt to seize his own property.
A mainzeal contractor has been issued with a trespass order after trying to remove $1 million worth of equipment from an apartment building yesterday morning.
Police were called when Camelspace co-owner Phil McConchie and more than two dozen of his staff arrived at the central Auckland building, Hobson Gardens, at 5am and began removing scaffolding.
They had erected it to allow the leaky building to be repaired by Mainzeal.
The construction company went into receivership on Thursday, halting work at the site and many others around the country. Security guards have been posted at work sites, including Hobson Gardens.
A police officer at the scene initially told the Herald on Sunday they were there on a "peacekeeping exercise" and no criminal activity was taking place.
But later in the morning police were forced to issue a trespass order on behalf of the building's owners, named on the order as Body Corp 177519.
While individual apartments are owned, a body corporate runs the building and there is an owners' committee. No one from that committee could be contacted yesterday.
McConchie said he had twice written to Mainzeal receivers PricewaterhouseCoopers telling them he intended to remove his equipment, but he had not heard back.
The company was owed an estimated $300,000 by Mainzeal and every day the equipment remained on site they lost more money, McConchie said.
"We need to get this equipment out and erected for construction companies that can pay their bills to ensure the survival of the company and secure the livelihoods of our 40 staff and their families."
However, the trespass notice stymied his plans and most of the gear stayed put.
PricewaterhouseCoopers spokeswoman Karine Fox said the receivers were working with Camelspace and the building owner to find a solution that would be safe for the residents.
Shocked residents gathered outside yesterday to watch the latest "sad" development.
Watching the scaffolding being removed, Robert and Wendy Srhoj, who are renting nearby while their apartment is being fixed, could only reflect on how close they had come to having their ground floor apartment repaired after nine years of fighting.
"In four to six weeks they would have completed everything ... it's just heartbreak after heartbreak," Srhoj said.
"Seeing the scaffolding removed, this is a day we'd been looking forward to. It's a sad day when it should have been the happiest."

Unless I'm heading to the mountains and therefore likely to be travelling with cumbersome ski jackets, ski boots, helmet and thermal layers, I am a highly disciplined packer who never checks bags through onto an aircraft. Last year I shared six tips on how to travel lightly. They were: Wear your heaviest clothes on the flight, take easy-care clothes, ration shoes, pack like a minimalist, head for summer and load up your handbag.
Since then, in addition to many shorter flights, I have been on a week-long trip to Singapore and Malaysia - during which I followed my economical packing rules religiously and took just one small, soft-sided carry-on bag. I also ensured the packed weight of that bag could be balanced for several seconds on the little finger of one hand. Anything much heavier than that can end up feeling unnecessarily burdensome especially while trekking the seemingly unending corridors of sprawling airports such as Heathrow or Changi.
And, of course, there are many benefits to be discovered in practising the art of restrained packing:
Self-sufficiency: Those people who go camping, grow their own vegetables, harvest their own fruit and generate their own electricity would no doubt be impressed by the self-sufficiency involved in personally carrying your own effects around the world. There's no middle man and no reliance on others. Baggage handlers and porters are rendered redundant. There's a pleasing independence to be found in carrying exactly what you need - nothing more and nothing less.
Accessibility: All your essentials are within easy reach throughout every flight, every taxi ride and in every airport lounge. There's no stressing about something important that's buried inconveniently in a large suitcase in the aircraft's hold. And then at your hotel there's no need to wait for luggage to be delivered to your room since you weren't separated from your bag in the first place.
Speed: My trips always seem to be whirl-wind these days and for that reason even fifteen extra minutes spent in the airport is time I'd sooner spend at my chosen destination. With carry-on baggage only there'll be no waiting behind the yellow line at luggage carousels - and while everyone else is hoping it will be their suitcase that lurches down the ramp next you'll be straight through immigration and first in line for a taxi.
No chance of lost luggage: It was just one experience with lost checked-on luggage that made me decide to take ultimate control over my possessions while travelling. Years ago, when I still had faith in such systems, we arrived in Singapore from Auckland for a brief stopover ahead of a three-week European holiday. Thoughts of visiting Paris and Amsterdam with just the clothes on our backs flashed drearily before me. Our lost luggage may have been delivered to our Singapore hotel room just a few hours after our flight touched down but I was an instant convert to the joys of DIY travelling.
No chance of planted drugs: If I let my luggage out of sight I would fret that someone behind the scenes would tamper with it. I'd actually be grateful if they simply stole something out of it because what I'd really fear is that they planted some drugs or other contraband inside it with the intention of retrieving it once I'd unwittingly cleared it through customs on their behalf. The stakes are raised when you're visiting countries - such as Singapore, Malaysia, Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, China and United Arab Emirates - which take an especially dim view of drug trafficking.
Dog avoidance: Those cute little beagles that are deployed at Auckland airport to meet incoming flights seem to be particularly focussed on stationary targets; usually they sniff around the bags belonging to the people who are waiting at luggage carousels to retrieve their checked-on gear. Clearly not deemed a credible bio-security risk, passengers in motion and walking with only carry-on bags seem to be of little interest to these inquisitive detector dogs.
What's your packing philosophy? Is your luggage invariably heavy or light? Why do some people feel obliged to take everything but the kitchen sink?

http://news.ultimatestreet.com/view/1039/bugatti-16c-galibier-spied-based-on-audi-a8The only bad thing is they will discontinue the Veyron....
Wow... I wonder if that will be true. Will be an interesting sedan to say the least...
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
The discontinuation of the Veyron was bound to happen sooner or later. I love the Galiber, I can't wait to see a production version.I typically dislike supercars like the Veyron, but the way it presents itself makes me love it. It's not just a supercar, it's artwork, the kind you just do not see these days. It very worthy of the Bugatti name.
so will they actualy make money with this model?
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
Well, the engine will likely be the Veyrons, but with less power. The paltform will supposedly be A8 according to this. So at least those two things are already existing, so it would have a shot at making money, especially if they still charge an absurd amount of money for it.
i would hate to see the engine power going down. thats a waste of that monster engine's potential. it should be more powerfull if anything!those headlights on the sedan look kind of goofy as well..
Firin on all cylinders
BigPapaT:i would hate to see the engine power going down. thats a waste of that monster engine's potential. it should be more powerfull if anything!those headlights on the sedan look kind of goofy as well..It's not going for outright speed. It'll still likely be of over 800hp, making it one of the most powerful production vehicles.
this is an amazing car very very beautiful thanks for sharing

so cadillac will no longer be able to air commercials saying it makes the worlds fastest production sedan.
