text: Jennifer Lawrence: The Only Way Is Essex is "ridiculously amazing" The Oscar-winning Hollywood star has developed a fascination with TOWIE during her time in England Comments Written By Paul Jones 12:51 PM, 31 January 2014 Her work on movies like Silver Linings Playbook and Winter's Bone has drawn widespread critical acclaim, but it turns out Jennifer Lawrence herself is a fan of the slightly less nuanced performances of British structured reality show The Only Way is Essex. "You guys have your own version of [US reality series] Jersey Shore, which is so ridiculously amazing I can't even begin," said Lawrence. "It's like another world in Essex." But the ITV show is not the only thing about British TV that appeals to Lawrence, who says she also enjoys our relaxed attitude to swearing. "I don't do much when I'm in the UK, though I go watch the TV. I really like the shows you have there. You guys get to say f**k and s**t a lot more than our main TV shows do," she said. The Hollywood actress, who has been spotted on these shores in recent months with English actor boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, reveals her affection for the UK doesn't end with Essex and swearing. "I'm a big fan of all things British," she told The Sun. "I get to spend some time there now and again and I like that I can go for fish and chips wearing the most awful outfit and it's cool, you know." We're going to give J-Law the benefit of the doubt and take that last comment as a compliment... Follow @RadioTimes Like this? Share it.

Dorset DT2 8HT.
United Kingdom
This looks beautiful. Might even consider revising my 'no camping' policy...ReplyDelete
Lovely and tranquil - looks like an amazing break,
Have a lovely Sunday,
Thank you so so much for letting us in on your secret campsite. We went camping a couple of years ago and it was a bit of a disaster after having the noisiest neighbours pitch up far too close next to us. After keeping us all awake until gone midnight, they then went to bed and kept us up all night with the worst snoring I have ever heard! Will definitely be looking into visiting this campsite this summer, assuming we get some decent weather. xReplyDelete
This is so wonderful! We are coming to England for the month of July and we have a tent and a car and are simply looking for places like this! Do you mind if I ask where to look for other campsites about the country? Also, is your shop open daily or only by appointment? I would love to come visit :)ReplyDelete
My kind of place! I love that area, my parents honeymoon'd there and camped around the coast. I have a 70's photo of them with durdle door in the background. I'd love to go back and re-create it! xReplyDelete
I live in Dorset and all of the things you have suggested are absolutely beautiful......Dorset is a stunning place. I'll make sure I check out Jims campsite, it looks beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
Em xx
We go here all the time. We discovered it just after I had my daughter Molly in 2008 and we have been back many many times! Jill and Jim have watched Molly grow up and they are lovely people. Its a fantastic place to just chill and we shall be there this weekend!
I love you photo's by the way!
Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this place. We went over the bank holiday weekend and it was perfect. Exactly as you said it would be.
I put my pictures here if you are interested: http://www.quaintliving.com/2013/09/our-new-red-and-white-bell-tent-and-jims-camping-in-dorset/
Thanks for the share, amazing weekend in July http://claire-yvonne.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/jims-camping.html i followed your lead and blogged about it myself :-D xReplyDelete
Found this because googled junkaholique camping! Had similar experience pre kids trying to camp in Dorset near Durdle Door - not only full but one place was something like £50 a night TO CAMP!!!! Where we ended up was pricy, not fab and full of youth - my boyfriend thought I was being a bit precious when I said we may need to move the tent because of the group next to us - then they started doing weird wheelies ... in their cars... we moved! I'm desperate to find decent campsites to go to with our toddler - this sounds right up our street so thanks for sharing!! PhillipaReplyDelete
Hi there, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about such a beautiful idyllic place. I'm down below in NZ where we have a lot of wild places for camping called doc camps, or department of conservation. They are so much freer and peaceful than a commercial camp though we do like to go to them too in our old house bus, as we like meeting so many interesting peoples from all over the world. But I would love to visit your special place. Blessings, Trills.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the recommendation Artemis - always on the hunt for a campsite like this to take our nearly-two-year old and so now I have it earmarked for as soon as it starts to get warmer.
By the way - I think I remember you from Falmouth days… I was a housemate of friends of one of your housemates (yes, convoluted, but it took me ages to work out why you seemed familiar when I stumbled across your blog) - I think you would have been in the first year… It must have been you with that distinctive name! So nice to see what you've gone on to achieve and what you're up to on your blog and love the positive feel to it all.
Treasure after listening to Radio 4 news!
x Lizzie (now back in Falmouth)
Thankyou So Much for revealing the location of this campsite, it is ideal for us! I wish I could direct you to a similar place we stayed in Cornwall one year but I doubt we'd find it again ourselves... We're planning a camping trip this July with our 2 and a half year old and this is exactly what we're looking for; no straight lines or brightly lit toilet blocks, no concrete hook up pitches etc etc Proper camping ;-) Thanks xxxReplyDelete

Electrical Technical Information Discussion, 1985 Deville Alternator wiring in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; I've got a 1985 Coupe Deville that wont charge a battery. I've replaced belts battery and alternator all to no ...

1985 Deville Alternator wiring
I've got a 1985 Coupe Deville that wont charge a battery. I've replaced belts battery and alternator all to no availle. I've recently noticed the the check alternator light never comes on during cranking. I read somewhere that the light is actually part of the circuit and acts as a resistor to turn on the diodes in the alternator or something. I can't find this light..... I've gotten most of the instrument cluster taken out with the exception of the speedometor (not digital) this is where the guage is but I don't see any bulbs.
So..... THe alternator has a three pronged L shaped plug. The wires are white, orange, and two brown. THe brown share a spot. The orange wire has constant battery voltage. The other two never change whether off, cranking, or running.
As a test I connected the browns to battery and cranked the car then disconnected them. At this point the alternater seems to be working fine. Turned the car off and cranked again without doing this and no charge again...... unless the browns have voltage to start with.
Anyone have the wiring diagram that can tell me where these wires go or what they're for.
The brown wire is the wire that connects to the dash light and beyond to the fuse. If the bulb is out, the alt. doesn't charge.
Thanks.... more tracing for me I guess.

On my GN I had the same problem. The brown wire is the one on the GN, I am assuming that it would be the same for your Caddy.
I had problems after replacing the bulb even getting it to charge, so I jury rigged it.
I wired a relay from a known good +12v to the relay, and then to the brown wire on the alt, with the trigger for the relay from the fuse box IGN terminal.
You might not want to do this, but I did it because I needed a stronger field for the alt. I boosted my system voltage to 15vdc for a hotter spark, so I need the field to be bigger.

Re: 1985 Deville Alternator wiring
I have a 1985 Cadillac Deville and have had to replace the alternator 3 times now. On my way to town the no charge light came on again. I stopped and the car wouldn't start. The starter has gone out now. Will this make the no charge light come on and cause the alternator to go bad? I bought a new battery even. but after I have drove the car about 50 miles it does this everytime, any ideas?

'We Need Scale': Softbank's Masayoshi Son on Sprint, T-Mobile, and AlibabaBy
Masayoshi Son founded Japanese telecom SoftBank in 1981 and has overseen the company's transformation into a wide-ranging Internet and mobile behemoth. Along the way, Son hasn't been afraid to spread the $90 billion company's money around. Sometimes that's hurt his company, but it's also paid off big. On the verge of an initial public offering by Alibaba, which could add more than 50 percent to early investor SoftBank's market cap, Son sat down with Bloomberg Businessweek to discuss his investment strategy and whether he can keep buying his way further into the U.S. mobile market.
Bloomberg Businessweek: Fourteen years ago, you made a small investment in a Chinese e-commerce company called Alibaba. Along with subsequent investments, your stake is now worth $56 billion. What were your expectations at the beginning?
I thought at the time there were many people in China. There would be a bunch of political risk. People were not yet using the Internet and there was a different philosophy of people. But I thought a big trend was coming, that China was going to become a big player in the world.
Our original investment was in the U.S., with Yahoo! and ETrade. Then the second wave was in Japan. Our third wave was in China. Eventually it's going to be bigger than the first or second wave.
The second part was e-commerce. In the U.S., it started with Amazon and EBay. In Japan we started Yahoo! Japan to compete with Rakuten. In either the U.S. or Japan, we were very successful with e-commerce. So it was the third tryout for us. If you can challenge three times, you'd better be somewhat better in the third round.
The third part was identifying the best entrepreneur. Jack [Ma, executive chairman of Alibaba] was definitely that guy. The day we met with Jack the first time, I had met with maybe 20 different Chinese Internet startups. Alibaba was one of those 20 meetings. His eyes were totally different from the other guys. Most of them, I just dismissed. When Jack's turn comes, he starts talking, I extended the time. Eventually, I said: Take my money [$20 million]. He said $1 million is enough. I said: No, you should take $20 million. He said, I don't need that much, I only need you to participate 5 percent—I'm not looking for a big money investment. One million will start the relationship. … I said, on the Internet we have to move at Internet speed, and we have to become partners. So instead of him convincing me, I started pitching him. That's the relationship.
What's Alibaba's opportunity in the U.S. and abroad?
The U.S. is a developed country with lots of established competitors. Alibaba has been focused in the Chinese market. It has a strong team with strong momentum. The expansion into the global market is something we should look at with very much an open mind.
How long will you hold your stake?
Alibaba is our core company. We would like to extend our strategic relationship in many ways. Alibaba can be very successful on its own—because it has such a massive momentum right now. Alibaba is now investing into many of its own portfolio companies. Our portfolio companies, their portfolio companies—they can stimulate each other.
Should Amazon or EBay be worried?
They have their own strengths. I'm sure they will continue to succeed in their own way. We have a little different business model and different areas of strength. I think we can coexist.
You bought a controlling interest in Sprint last year and became chairman. What opportunity did you see there?
The U.S. market is pretty much a duopoly. I always felt that we were coming to the U.S. market after it was already basically game over. The top two duopolists have such a strong brand, strong networks, strong customer bases. [Still] this is the richest market in the world, the center of innovation for the Internet. Mobile service is migrating from voice-centric service to data-centric service. We may have the last opportunity. If we have any chance to build a meaningful competitor, our Internet background may help a little bit on that end. But we need scale.
Yes, so you are rumored to pursuing a merger with T-Mobile. How would that help?
I don't want to talk specifically about a company. We need scale. Now these two big companies [Verizon and AT&T] are getting even bigger. AT&T has announced an acquisition of DirecTV. Comcast has announced the Time Warner deal. So wireless companies can no longer just be pure wireless companies. There's no longer such a thing as a pure wireless business. They all have to bundle services. The quadruple play is really emerging as a consumer offering.
Now there once was spreadsheet software called Lotus 123. It was competitive. After Microsoft introduced Microsoft Office, which bundled spreadsheet software with the word processor and PowerPoint and so on, they could not fight with the guy who bundles spreadsheets into the full suite of services, including the operating system Microsoft had. You cannot compete.
Now I hear people saying these big gigantic companies merging will probably get approved. If both deals get approved and the big companies become even bigger, the dominant companies become even more dominant and provide bundled service in a quadruple play. We have only a single service which is wireless. And it's only half-good wireless. How can we stay competitive unless we find a way to get meaningful scale?
Do you think you will get regulatory approval to merge Sprint and T-Mobile?
It's a good question. If they get approved and we don't, that is very unfair. The dominant players will become even more dominant. It's really the three big guys, it's no longer wireless or wired service. It's one service, which is the Internet highway. We want to create a fourth option. But we have to take the first step.
Why have U.S. broadband speeds lagged so badly the rest of the world?
That's the point. The wireless industry is a duopoly and the wired broadband is basically a single big player [Comcast]. If those guys set net neutrality rules, everybody has to follow it. They are all slaves of the monopolist or the duopolist.
It seems like Sprint's performance has improved recently, no?
It depends on how you look at it. Is it sustainable? Both Sprint and T-Mobile are free-cash-flow negative. We only have a half-good network. We don't have enough spectrum. This is a capital-intensive industry. Unless you have large amounts of capital and enough spectrum, which requires free cash flow, it is not sustainable. A few quarters can look okay.
Are you feeling regrets about entering the U.S. market?
I have mixed feelings, to be honest, considering approval [of buying T-Mobile] is up in the air. It takes a lot of [capital expenditure], and buying new spectrum is going to cost a fortune. Not only to buy it on auction, but it will require additional capex once we get the spectrum. Its not small. We are increasing the number of subscribers, but revenue per user is going down. It's the same for T-Mobile. Even though they increased the number of subscribers, the average price per customer is decreasing rapidly, so total revenue is decreasing. But you are required to invest in new spectrum. How can you pay that back if you are cash flow negative? We might be able to survive if we scale down, if we become a small player, like Metro PCS used to be. But in the long run, that only goes in one direction.
The more viable customers have been eaten away by the Big Two. In a few years, I think it will be truly game over, and the U.S. consumer is not going to be the winner.
You've talked about a high-bandwidth wireless future with speeds at 100 megabits per second. How do we get there in the U.S.?
We have the technology. If we are allowed to reach bigger scale, get more economies of scale, more cost efficiency on [operating expense] per subscriber and invest in the network, we are ready. We have done it in Japan. We need scale that gives us revenue to pay back incremental capex. And we need capital to buy additional spectrum.
Price competition is so tough in Japan. It used to be four players. Then it became three players, with even tougher competition on network and price. So we have to reinvest very heavily in the network, and therefore it's so much better than in the U.S. In the U.S., Verizon has 60,000 towers. Japan is the size of California and has a population one-third the size of the U.S.—we have 200,000 towers. And our competitors are also fighting fiercely. So we have to reinvest in the network.
Here in the U.S., the Big Two are busy paying dividends back to their shareholders. I don't blame them. They are big public companies. They have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders. However, consumers aren't the winners in that scenario. The shareholders are the big-time winners.
Do you talk to Charlie Ergen at Dish? Is there a possible deal there?
Yes, we have interest in partnering with anyone that makes sense. But first we have to improve our basic service, which is wireless.
How's the state of the technology industry in Japan. Is entrepreneurship coming back?
The electronics companies, which were the big pride of Japan, they are going away. Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, NEC, Sharp, Hitachi, all were big brands for consumer electronics. Now there are Korean companies, Chinese companies. All those Taiwanese companies have enough technology, and there is not enough innovation in Japan. When the Japanese founders were still active at those companies, they had an innovative passion. They took risks to come up with new technology and they got obsessed and they went at it. But those founders are gone and the companies have become big, boring bureaucracies. It's like [chief financial officers] are running those companies.
Are there any reasons for hope in Japan for a tech revival?
The only thing Japan can be proud of is that it has one of the lowest per-megabit costs on fixed-line broadband and best fiber coverage. Fixed-line broadband has one of the highest speeds, lowest costs. I was the pioneer for that. If we had let NTT Docomo take the responsibility, Japan was the most expensive country for Internet infrastructure and had the slowest speeds. I challenged NTT and totally changed the environment. Now I'm stimulating Japanese mobile infrastructure, so Japan has the best LTE network and the lowest number of call drops.
What do you think of Xiaomi, the smartphone upstart in China?
I'm very impressed. I'd say in five years, if I had to bet on one technology company other than Apple and Samsung, it would be Xiaomi. That is my next best bet. It's very innovative, very technology oriented, with aggressive pricing and distribution. And they have a big enough home market that they can gather enough strength. It's like Alibaba. They have a big enough market to get to scale quickly—and after that, they can expand globally.
Did you try to invest in Xiaomi?
It's very expensive. And we are not investing in hardware companies. We are more software-based and infrastructure-based. If I wanted to expand into that capital area, Xiaomi would be the best opportunity.
Are you concerned about a potential bubble in technology, like the one that hurt Softbank in 2000 and 2001?
In the year 2000, when the Internet bubble happened, profit wasn't really there. Now if you look, most of the key companies are delivering good profits. It's for real now. And those big-name Internet companies have the luxury of investing in high-value startups that might become an innovative force. And they want to use their leverage and distribution power to help them succeed.
What motivates you? You have been tremendously successful, yet you are still placing big bets.
We have done nothing. We are very small. There are many things left to do. I don't have any achievements I can be proud of. I'm still feeling very embarrassed that we are not doing anything meaningful. Someday I will do something meaningful. In truth, I still feel ashamed that we have done nothing. This is just the beginning.

305 bogs when warmed up
Hello last spring i bought a VERY clean box chevy caprice..had a few miner things to attend to under the hood nothing that seamed major...b4 i go any further please be advised that when answering my questions please put them in terms so that a child could understand because I only know very basic car stuff..
also might help if I mention what im working on here.... 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic 305 tbI
Vin letter E 94k miles
the interior and exterior have all been restored and look new.. the engine is all stock other than dual exhausts coming of the exhaust manifolds... starts up and runs like a champ for it be in stock it runs good for in town use but once I take it on a ride somewhere out of town it almost seems as it warms up it starts to bog down . bogging down as in I almost have to push the gas pedal to the floor to engage the passing gear to get it to take back off... I put my car in the shop and they ran multiple diagnosis I knew I had a oil burning problem transmission leak.. brake fluid leak and coolant leak.. they said that the head gasket test passed fine. did not leak oil and that the oil burning was from my valve seals in which they gave me an oil change an added ProSeal to oilmy oil to help with oil consumption.. replace the brake lines to fix brake fluid leak.. flushed and replaced transmission fluid tranny filter and gasket which took care of tranny leak... so after $1012 at the shop, my car still bogs down from what it seems 20 current ones its well warmed up.... after re contacting the shop and telling them about it they said its probably because I have 24 inch Chrome heavy wheels on it and it takes a lot to spin them...well the proublem with that is it did this b4 i stuck 24s on....so what do i do now to fix this proublem other then pull it and throw a race car engine in it LOL (Joking) please il take what advise i can get if u need more info il gladly tell it
Is the check engine light on.
Do you know if it ever goes into closed loop.
There are a lot of things that can cause your issue. if you can find someone with an OBD1 scanner they can look at what the O2, MAF, map etc are doing. My guess is you may have a bad sensor and one it warms up, goes into closed loop, the fuel metering is not correct
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
Nope never seen my check engine light come on before other than when i start it...and i have no idea what anything of the other stuff is at all lol sry...i dont have any 1 to test syuff for me other then shops
What does it do if you manually shift it?
Try it in 3rd gear if it's an overdrive tranny or try it in second if it's a 3 speed.
t bucket and rwenuts
okay T bucket I googled closed loop and that does seem plausible enuff to get checked out to either determine or rule out if that is a possibility.. And RWENUTS honestly I don't know because I've never tried to drop it into one of those gears but around 3pm est il b back to my drop yard rdy to go home i live 21miles away from my yard i pull out of and generally about 5 miles away from my destination: whether it be work to home or home to work id say ,95% of the time this boggong happns daily and il will try it and get back to u on what happens but when i do do this what exactly should I be looking 4 and should I not be looking for
You just want to see if it bogs in a different gear. Running in 3rd or 2nd revs your motor higher.
Ok il do it and get back with u on the results
Obd1 scanner is a code reader like the ones autozone and o reillys have correct i can swing in and see if ne thing pops up on my way home as well if thats the case
Got P R D with a circle around it D 2 1....ive always drove in D with vircle around it and im gonna drop it down to the D...Or should i b in D daily....and drop it down to 2?
Do you have catalytic converters on this? If your driving around sixty m.p.h.drop it down to the d without the circle. The d without the circle is 3rd gear and the d with a circle is overdrive or 4th gear.
You could also be facing issues with the vehicle speed sensor.
Ok i say yes it still bogged down down shifting from circled D to D
Yes still has a catalytic converter on it crussell 85...auto zone said no on obd1 scanner...said take it to a shop...pfft
Investing in a decent scanner that will do live data is always a good tool to own. What kind of bogging are we talking about? Like it chugs and acts like it wants to stall? In your original post you said if you kick it into "passing gear"which is just the transmission shifting from overdrive to drive (3rd gear). If that's the case then moving the gear selector to d without the circle should do the same thing.
How long does the car have to cool down to go back to normal? Is the engine running warm? When the bogging occurs try shutting the car off after its safely parked and see if there's any issues restarting
Ok heres an example for u...get in car fires up np..ur driving thru a small town...few lights a few stop signs...merge on to a us highway speed limit is 55 u drive around 8miles going 55nonstop np yet u drive thru a small town on the high way that makes u slow down to 40 to pass thru the town maybe a mile then gos back to 55 so u apply pressure to pedel and instead of it gradually moving up to speed like a normal car it feels like ur towing another car and in order to break it of it u put the pedel to the floor...takes off like ur passing someone ...u finelly get to 55 and feels like car is just chugging along then it kinda passes n comes back till u reach were ur going...go inside for 20min get back in car to go back home and stars off fine like when u got in it before u left......no issues restarting...hell -20 degrees outside middle of winter hasent been started in a month...crank it over np like a champ..... I have had it die on me at a light like 2 times outta a hundread for no reason...i dont no if it runs warm or hot cause i only have a dummy light no temp gage and i have never seen it cum on for all i no it dosent even work thats y when i put it in the shop they said they put the sniffer on it and everthing reguarding the colling system was in good shape...case when it 1st started happing when i got it i thought was overheating and running like **** cauae thats what it feels like..chugs down lossess hp but i have had a car blow a head gasket and ran hot and it barly ran had no power but this comes and gos....like mayb starved tor air or bad sensors or starving from fuel or mayb even some cloging in the raidator or the thermastate isent opening and clossing properly i have no idea...hope this helps
Get a temp gauge on it. They're called dummy lights because your a dummy if you just rely on the light. If you go from 55 mph to 40 and then back to 55 the car is probably staying in overdrive. If you have to cram the pedal to the floor for it to downshift you may have a throttle valve cable issue, some people call them kick down cables. Google how to adjust it, then adjust it. How well does the transmission shift?

Now that Jesse Richman has had a chance to breathe (and finally get that GTI!), we asked him to take a look back at his experience on
the tour.
You just finished the tour on top. What do you attribute your success?
This year truly was a pleasure and I never could have done as well as I did without all the awesome support from my friends on the tour, my sponsors and my Rocking Gear!!!
What riders from the tour do you think deserves some props?
There are so many riders pushing the limits and devoting it all to style. I think that every one deserves some props. We are going to see more and more incredible riding from some awesome guys and gals!!!
Competition-wise, what stop do you remember the most?
The stop that was the most fun had to be the first event in France. I knew pretty much no one and I had no idea which riders I had to really worry about. It turned out to be about 40 knots and I absolutely love that kind of riding. It was so cool for me to show up on a tour I have never competed on before and get 1st overall, and then, to hold onto it the whole year was amazing.
What place would you go back to first if you had the chance?
I really enjoyed Paros, Greece. It was a super cool spot and really nice people there. I can't wait for the next chance I get to go back there.
What advice would you offer for those interested in doing the tour next year?
Really, it's all about just going for it. If you come in knowing that you can ride good and have fun then the key is to just not get stressed because when it all comes down to it, you will either win or lose. It's not the end of the world if you don't make it through the first round. Everybody's been there and if you stick to it you will just do better and better!!!
Do you have your eyes on the PKRA?
To tell you the truth I have no idea what my plans are for the next year. I want to train a lot in the winter and who knows what will happen next?

Powerbuilt Hot Rod Tools
I'm new and probably someone can help me with the following: I think the Powerbuilt tools Hot Rod series are cool tools, and the price seems ok to me. But unfortunately they are distributed at Pepboys. Unfortunately because I live in Europe and have no chance to buy at Pepboys - does anyone know a distributor who takes mail orders and could be persuaded to ship overseas?
BTW: What do you think about the quality of these tools?
Sorry I've never heard of them. I mostly buy Snap On, Gray or the odd China tool. Why not check out e bay
Yes you're right, I could also get another brand. The problem is that most American brands which offer metric and sae sizes are not available in Europe, and only the most expensive European brands offer both. Snap-On is available but way too expensive for me. I don't need to hurry but will probably have to mail order from America anyway, and therefore am looking around what there is. Powerbuilt have a website:
The Hot Rod series of tools seem to be made in cooperation with the famous Hot Rod Magazine and therefore carry their name. I saw them in an ad in the said magazine but Powerbuilt don't list them on their website.
I checked out thier site and they do look like fine tools. almost reminds me of the Sears Craftsman line. I do agree that the snap Ons are expensive, that is why I buy 90% of them from e bay
Atlantis; I would stay away from tools made in China that do not have a lifetime warranty. 90% of all my tools are Sears Craftsman and they have an unconditional warranty. If the tool breaks you just bring it in to Sears and they replace it no questions asked. Hopefully you can find some in Europe. Good luck.

Operator: Good morning. My name is Denise and I will be your conference facilitator today. I would like to welcome everyone to the Goldman Sachs's Third Quarter 2012 Earnings Conference Call. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer period. Also, this call is being recorded today, Tuesday, October 16, 2012.
Thank you, Mr. Holmes. You may begin your conference.
Dane E. Holmes - IR: Good morning, this is Dane Holmes, Director of Investor Relations at Goldman Sachs. Welcome to our third quarter earnings conference call.
Today's call may include forward-looking statements. These statements represent the Firm's belief regarding future events that by their nature are uncertain and outside of the Firm's control. The Firm's actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from what is indicated in those forward-looking statements. For a discussion of some of the risks and factors that could affect the Firm's future results, please see the description of Risk Factors in our current Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 2011.
I would also direct you to read the forward-looking disclaimers in our quarterly earnings release, particularly as it relates to our Investment Banking transaction backlog, capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, and global core excess, and you should also read the information on the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures that is posted on the Investor Relations portion of our website at www.gs.com.
This audiocast is copyrighted material of the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and may not be duplicated, reproduced, or rebroadcast without our consent.
Our Chief Financial Officer, David Viniar, will now review the Firm's results with Harvey Schwartz, who will assume David's role at the end of January. David?
David A. Viniar - EVP and CFO: Thanks Dane. I'd like to thank all of you for listening today. I'll give an overview of our third quarter results and Harvey will review our business performance.
Net revenues were $8.4 billion, and net earnings were $1.5 billion. Earnings per diluted share were $2.85, and our annualized return on common equity was 8.6%. Year-to-date, our annualized return on common equity was 8.8%.
The third quarter operating environment included continuing concerns about the outlook for the global economy particularly as it relates to the situation in Europe. The uncertainty surrounding economic prospects has weighted on the psychology of corporate leaders and investors negatively impacting the current operating environment in two principal ways.
Corporate client activity continued to be relatively weak in the third quarter. Industry-wide announced M&A volumes declined 16% sequentially and IPO volumes were nearly cut in half. In addition, New York Stock Exchange volumes were down 13% sequentially, while LSC volumes were down 23%. An additional impact of economic uncertainty and weak investor conviction, there is the tendency for investors to transact in the most liquid and commoditized portion of the market. These dynamic is evidenced within both the FICC and equities franchises and as demonstrated by the significance of index product volumes in credit and equities.

Discounts on things to do in Destin and Destin beach rentals. Book your Destin vacation here.
Harry T's restaurant located in Destin, Florida was opened in 1913 in honor of the famous trapeze artist Harrison Babe, who was also known as "Flying Harry T." The restaurant was originally located on the ground floor of the tallest building in Destin Harbor. In 2007 it was moved to a two-story lighthouse at the Emerald Grande Condominium tower at Harbor Walk Village. The décor of the restaurant is circus themed coupled with memorabilia from the sunken luxury cruise ship, Thracia, and a huge stuffed giraffe stands outside the lighthouse. Despite its playful atmosphere, Harry T's offers breathtaking views of the ocean that can be enjoyed from mostly ever table in the restaurant. An outdoor covered patio is also available and is open for seating during lunch hours.
Harry T's restaurant serves American cuisine, and the price range of the main course meals range from $15 to $30; soups and salads cost anywhere from $5 to $15 (menu items are always cheaper during the off-season). Menu selections include steak, chicken, seafood, smokehouse ribs, and pasta. Children's meals are available, and each week Harry T's hosts a Kid's Night with face painting, balloon animals, clowns, and other fun activities for kids. Brunch is served on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
Harry T's is in Destin right off Harbor Boulevard. Take-out orders are available for order over the phone by calling (850) 654-4800. If you enjoy your stint at Harry T's, take a T-shirt or other souvenir with you. The restaurant is open during the summer from Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. and on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. During the off-season, the restaurant is open from Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.
We enjoyed your lunch and dinner meals while in Destin.
We had a birthday coupon from you last year, August.
Please put us on you email list as we will be in Destin
again in January, Feb. and March.
Thanks, Charles Underwood
We have been coming here to harry t's since we bought a rental n Destin in 2010.
We were seated outside and waited and waited and no service. At least 6 employees came out singing
Happy birthday to the next table and all walked past us 2xs and still got no service. When we
Walked out and told the girl at the front door she just say "sorry". We have noticed this attitude a number of times before.! No more references from our rental but I don't think you really care.!
Anyway my pizza is almost here, got to go.
Hello from Upstate New York. We lived in Destin several years ago and went to Harry's twice a week. It's been a long time since then, but I still remember my favorite meal….the Cajon Shrimp Fettuccine. If you still have that recipe, would you mind sharing it with me. I'm unable to travel anymore and my roots are here now with my wonderful 4 seasons. I would appreciate it very much, even if it's just the ingredients. I want to surprise my husband on our anniversary.
Thank you, Yvonne

Oct 19, 2013 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff WriterThe modifications should make it easier for pilots to navigate the facility.
Riverton Regional Airport manager Paul Griffin gave a tour of the completed taxiway "C" rehab and general aviation apron reconstruction project Friday.
The project began in July after getting approval from the Riverton City Council. Poor pavement conditions, confusing directions and other small issues called for a remodel of the taxiway that is used by aircrafts and connects runways, terminals and hangars. New signage, Griffin said, also would make it easier for fixed based operator pilots and their aircrafts to maintain an easy flow.
"It gives them better guidance to where to go park and refuel," Griffin said.
A grant helped pay for the $1.3 million project that received a 93.75 percent contribution from the Federal Aviation Administration, 3.75 percent from the Wyoming Department of Transportation Aeronautics Division and 2.5 percent from the City of Riverton.
Project changes included an extended slab outside the fire station, different concrete markings, new layers of pavement and a gate that lifts to open and provides faster access for fire trucks and other vehicles.
Airport Board chairman Jim Matson, who attended the tour, said he was glad to see the improvements and commended Riverton public works director Bill Urbigkit for pursuing the grant.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Fission yeast detoxify cadmium by synthesizing phytochelatins, peptides of the structure (gamma GluCys)nGly, which bind cadmium and mediate its sequestration into the vacuole. The fission yeast protein HMT2, a putative sulfide-oxidizing enzyme of the mitochondria, appears to be essential for tolerance to multiple forms of stress, including exposure to cadmium. We found that hmt2- strains are unable to accumulate normal levels of phytochelatins in response to cadmium. Specifically, the high sulfide levels accumulated in the absence of HMT2 function appear to block the activity of phytochelatin synthase, perhaps by precipitating the free cadmium ions required enzyme activity. Although sulfide is required for phytochelatin-mediated metal tolerance, aberrantly high sulfide levels are sufficient to inhibit this pathway. Thus, precise regulation of sulfur metabolism, mediated in part by HMT2, is essential for metal tolerance in fission yeast.
Technical Abstract: This article describes the role of a mitochondrial sulfide-oxidizing enzyme, HMT2, in the biosynthesis of metal binding phytochelatin peptides. The biosynthesis of phytochelatins requires metal-cofactors for the phytochelatin synthase enzyme. During metal stress, sulfide levels rise. In the absence of HMT2, an anomalously high sulfide concentration precipitates the free cadmium ions required for the enzymatic activity of phytochelatin synthase, thereby prevents high level synthesis of phytochelatin peptides.

Back in the days of the original Xbox, Bioware created Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - an RPG based on the Star Wars universe. Not only was KOTOR a great game, but it also rekindled the flame of Star Wars properties for all the die hard fans who had fallen into despair after the appalling Phantom Menace and terrible miscasting of Hayden Christensen as Anakin.
KOTOR and the latter Jade Empire managed to move the console RPG genre on, appealing to a new breed of players, and giving a real alternative to games like Final Fantasy and Zelda. Therefore when I first heard about Mass Effect I had very high hopes, and those hopes were bolstered when I managed to get some time playing a preview build back in September. But now Mass Effect has hit the shelves and the big question is whether the finished product lives up to expectations.
Make no mistake, Mass Effect is a hugely ambitious project and on many levels Bioware has realised that ambition. The most obvious achievement is the visual experience - the graphics are, quite simply stunning. I'm not usually one to waste much time with character creation, I tend to jump straight into a game and not care what my protagonist looks like, but Mass Effect convinced even me to spend a ludicrous amount of time tailoring the appearance of Commander Shepherd.
The facial textures and animation are really second to none. In fact it's slightly unnerving when you're constructing your character, as they become more and more lifelike with every joystick flick and button press. You can make Shepherd either male or female, with the same dizzying array of facial customisation available to either gender. It's actually strangely compelling to create a character that is, to all intents and purposes, unique. OK, so there is will be a finite number of permutations, but the chances of anyone you know creating a character that looks exactly like yours are pretty slim.
But it's not just the characters that look great. The futuristic environments are lush, colourful and beautiful. A massive amount of care and attention has been given to the Mass Effect universe, and every planet, building and spaceship that you venture through looks superb. There has been a lot of talk in the office recently about the poor environment textures appearing in games at the moment, but no such criticism could be levelled at Mass Effect. Every wall, every floor and just about every other surface looks like its part of a real world, 3D environment, complete with relief. Just like in the real world, flat surfaces aren't actually flat, and you'll see pits and holes in walls as you wander around corridors. The environment is also subject to damage, so you'll see holes appear in walls as they absorb gunfire.

The NOAA Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment is now providing public access to new digital photographs from six years of coral reef field studies. The online Coral Reef Ecosystem Database, developed and managed by the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, provides access to images of coral reef species and habitats, which were taken during studies in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Elkhorn Coral in La Parguera, Puerto Rico
Funded by the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program, the online database facilitates a variety of coral reef research, management and educational opportunities. More than a thousand new digital images were added to the searchable database providing high resolution digital photographs of fish, hard and soft corals, hydroids, sea grass, sponges and other invertebrates, vertebrates and algae, which can be directly downloaded via the Internet.
"These new photographs are an additional component to a larger database providing public access to fish and habitat data for the Caribbean, and are the result of long-term research activities that have been conducted jointly with our federal, territorial and academic partners," said Tom McGrath, database developer for NOAA Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment. "NOAA is hopeful others in research and reef management, and the public at large will enjoy the benefits of such an expansive visual display of our nation's off-shore habitats."
Green Moray in La Parguera, Puerto Rico
Coral reefs are some of the most biologically rich and economically valuable ecosystems on Earth. Corals contribute to the food supply, jobs and income, coastal protection and other important services to billions of people worldwide. Yet they are threatened by an increasing array of impacts from overexploitation, pollution, habitat loss, invasive species, diseases, bleaching and global climate change.
Rapid decline and loss of these valuable, ancient and complex marine ecosystems have significant social, economic and environmental consequences in the United States and around the world. NOAA helps coastal communities, managers, scientists and other partners to understand and sustainably manage coral reef ecosystems.

NEW YORK -- Cliff Lee knows he probably won't win all of his starts this season. That doesn't mean he isn't going to try.
Lee threw seven sharp innings Wednesday night to beat Chien-Ming Wang in a matchup of unbeaten starters, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 3-0 victory against the New York Yankees.
"I've got to focus on this next outing and if I do that and continue to do that things should go the way they have gone," Lee said. "Obviously I can't expect to put up zeros every single time but it's my job to put up as many as I can and get deep into the game and give the team a chance to win.
"I've done that so far and hopefully it continues."
Lee became the first Indians pitcher to win his first six starts since Greg Swindell in 1988 and lowered his major league-best ERA to a microscopic 0.81. The left-hander has allowed just four earned runs in 44 2/3 innings after a rough 2007 that included a stint in the minors.
"Cliff is in the groove right now," Indians manager Eric Wedge said.
Wang (6-1) allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings for the Yankees, who dropped to 3-5 on their nine-game homestand. Hideki Matsui singled in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, matching a career high.
New York fell to 27-8 in 35 career starts by Wang following a Yankees loss, ending an 11-game winning streak in those games. He fell to 22-7 in those starts.
"A lot of nights that's good enough," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He gave us seven good innings. Unfortunately we couldn't score any runs for him."
Victor Martinez had a sacrifice fly in the first inning, Casey Blake singled in a run in the fourth and David Dellucci added an RBI single in the fifth. Dellucci was booed before each of his at-bats after his pinch-hit three-run homer off Joba Chamberlain lifted Cleveland to a 5-3 victory Tuesday night.
"That's two straight days our offense has been pitiful," said Johnny Damon, who is 0-for-9 in the past two games.
The Indians have won the first two of the three-game set to secure their first winning series at Yankee Stadium since June 2001. They improved to 4-2 against New York this season, clinching their first season series victory since they went 7-6 against the Yankees in 1992.
Paul Byrd will oppose New York's Mike Mussina on Thursday as Cleveland goes for its first sweep of three games or more in the Bronx since April 1989, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Lee (6-0) set it up with another impressive performance, allowing just six hits and striking out seven. He hasn't walked a batter in his past 28 innings.
"They had a lead and he just kept attacking the strike zone," Damon said. "He did exactly what he needed to do."
Rafael Perez worked the eighth and Rafael Betancourt got three outs for his fourth save, finishing off the seven-hitter.
The matchup between Wang and Lee was the first between two pitchers with at least a 5-0 record since Oakland's Dave Stewart faced Swindell on May 8, 1988, according to Elias. Stewart moved to 8-0 with a four-hitter, beating Swindell and Cleveland 5-1.
Lee will go for his seventh straight win to open the season Monday against Toronto. His fast start would've been hard to predict a year ago, when he began the season on the disabled list, spent some time at Triple-A Buffalo and was left off Cleveland's playoff roster.
"Mainly just locating my fastball a little better," Lee said about the difference this year. "Working ahead in the count, staying out of hitter's counts, 2-0, 3-1, trying to stay ahead in the count. Obviously, locating my fastball is the key."
The Yankees put runners on first and second with one out in the fifth but Lee struck out Morgan Ensberg and got Jose Molina to fly out to deep right. He fanned Matsui with runners on second and third to end the sixth.
- Alex Rodriguez (strained right quadriceps), Jorge Posada (right shoulder) and Phil Hughes (stress fracture in rib) are expected to travel to New York's spring-training facility in Florida on Thursday to continue rehabbing their injuries. Rodriguez ran in the outfield, played catch, fielded grounders and took batting practice before Wednesday night's game.
- Indians 3B Andy Marte singled in the fifth to snap an 0-for-14 skid.
- Martinez went 0-for-3, ending a 15-game hitting streak. The All-Star catcher served as the designated hitter after he was scratched from Tuesday night's game with a stiff neck.
- The Indians scheduled a doubleheader with Kansas City for Sept. 13 to accommodate a game that was postponed due to rain last week.
- Wang allowed four hits in seven innings in a 1-0 victory April 27 at Cleveland.

Re: Using mathremote(1)
Could some kind (and knowledgeable) soul tell me how to use the
mathremote(1) remote kernel of Mathematica? I've looked around all
over the place, and can't seem to find any docs on the usage.
The Mathematica here is running on a Sun4 w/ SunOS 4.1 .
In short, I'd appreciate a short tutorial on how to use mathremote(1).
In order to use mathremote(1), you must have a mathematica front end running
on another machine. The exact method that you use to establish the connection
is machine-dependent, and probably is explained in your mathematica manuals for
the other machine. For example, if you are using a Macintosh front end to run
a remote kernel on another machine, I believe there is a "kernels" pull-down
menu (perhaps it's a submenu under something else) which contains such choices
as "start local kernel", "start remote kernel", etc. You can open a
communications window within the mathematica front end to establish your
connection with the remote machine, then select "start remote kernel", and from
then on you can behave (almost) as if you were running mathematica locally.

The Don A. Rossi Award is given annually by the Golf Course Builders Association of America in memory of the late Don Rossi, former President of the National Golf Foundation and the Executive Director of the Golf Course Builders Association of America. Recipients are individuals who have made significant contributions to the game of golf and its growth, and who have inspired others by their example.
Don Rossi, who called himself the "godfather of the golf industry, served as Executive Director of the National Golf Foundation from 1970 to 1983. During his tenure, he led the NGF into a vastly expanded role in the world of golf. Among his achievements at the NGF were the institution of annual seminars for golf course owners, operators and employees; the establishment of the NGF research and statistics division; and the initiation of the annual Joe Graffis Award.
Mr. Rossi set up the first annual worldwide golf development meeting, which drew golf officials from eight countries. This meeting was instrumental in the formation of the National Golf Foundation of Japan and the Canadian Golf Foundation. Rossi also laid the groundwork for the NGF's Golf Summits, and was instrumental in restructuring the NGF to include members of the Allied Associations of Golf on its board of directors.
After he retired from the NGF, he established Don A. Rossi & Associates, a golf course development firm; served as secretary/treasurer of the National Golf Car Manufacturers Association; and served as executive director of the Golf Course Builders Association of America from 1984 to 1990.
After his death on March 11, 1990, the GCBAA chose to honor him by instituting the Don A. Rossi Award, which was given to him posthumously in 1991 in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the game of golf. The award is presented at the GCBAA Awards Dinner.

After his blockbuster book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, the late Stephen Covey wrote another very insightful book for leaders titled Principle Centered Leadership. In the book, Covey makes the case for the importance of having a core set of values by which you lead your life and organization. He states, "In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do."
While perhaps we know this intuitively, it is good to be reminded that character counts, and that who we are and what we stand for really matters. As a leader, people are watching you. They are deciding if they will trust you and follow your leadership. Leaders who have a deep sense of core purpose and principles are able to lead through the inevitable highs and lows of business and life. Mark A. Sorgenfrei, chairman and CEO of MISSCO Corporation, is one of those principle-centered leaders.
A native of New Orleans, Sorgenfrei has been with MISSCO and its predecessors for over 29 years. A graduate of Millsaps College, Sorgenfrei practiced public accounting for 10 years before joining MISSCO as corporate controller in 1984. He shared, "My first employer was a local CPA firm and the partners in the firm led by example. They did not expect me to work any harder than they did, which was a good lesson to learn early in my career, because nobody worked harder than the partners in the firm." Sorgenfrei learned that ownership and leadership of an organization involves continued hard work rather than coasting on the hard work of employees.
MISSCO is a company with a rich history in Mississippi. The company dates back to 1919, when the founders formed Mississippi School Supply Company. The company expanded into office supplies in the 20's and became a leading distributor in the Southeast. Sorgenfrei became president in 1992 and led the company through the sale of its Commercial Division and the school supply portion of its Educational Division to U.S. Office Products in 1995. Today, the company operates Sheldon Labs (a laboratory furniture company), a textbook supply company and MISCCO Contract Sales.
Sorgenfrei's principled leadership style is based on his deep faith. He shared, "My leadership style has been influenced most directly by my personal relationship with Jesus Christ in that He has taught me that a true leader must be a servant and not just one who gives directives and orders." In the corporate context, he applies his principles by seeking to serve customers and employees with a spirit of humility and a commitment to excellence. Reflecting on the decades of success of MISSCO, Sorgenfrei shared, "I have observed many fine leaders of these businesses over the years, and I have learned that it takes people committed to the common goal of excellence in all areas of life for a business to succeed and prosper over the last 94 years."
For future leaders, Sorgenfrei wisely noted, "Surround yourself with people that are wiser than you are and listen intently to their advice. Put the interests of your employees and your customers before your own and seek to serve them." Sorgenfrei has "walked the walk" of a servant leader, and he has carried on the tradition of excellence at MISSCO. Leaders like Sorgenfrei provide a calm and steady hand as they lead organizations into the future. I have found that leaders like Sorgenfrei are able to provide that kind of stable leadership because they are comfortable with themselves and have a clear sense of who they are and what they are trying to accomplish.

August is prime mountain lake fishing season. If you're fishing mountain lakes that contain many brook trout, don't be surprised to see an occasional lunker northern pike. We have an on-going evaluation on the effectiveness of predatory sterile northern pike on reducing stunted/over-populated brook trout in Idaho's mountain lakes. These fish are "eating" machines that will consume many times their weight in fish.
If you observe or catch a northern pike, please release it back into the lake so it can continue making fishing better.

April 22, 2004
NASHVILLE - The Tennessee men's tennis team lost a heartbreaking five-hour slugfest to Mississippi State 4-3 Thursday afternoon in the opening round of the SEC tournament at the Brownlee O. Currey Tennis Complex.
The match endured numerous rain delays before finally being forced to conclude indoors due to lightning in the area.
Mississippi State led the match 3-2 with two matches still in action Thursday. Tennessee senior Simon Rea and freshman Ockie Oosthuizen were locked in tight battles at the Nos. 1 and 2 positions, respectively, and both Vols faced 5-4 third-set deficits against their MSU opponents.
Entering the tournament, Rea was 0-2 for his career against MSU's two-time All-America, No. 35-ranked Romain Ambert. After the players split sets, Rea managed to break Ambert's serve while the Bulldogs senior was serving at 5-5 in the third. Rea then held service to win the match and tie the team score at 3-3.
As Rea and Ambert shook hands at the net, Oosthuizen was fighting valiantly against Pinto at the No. 2 spot. UT's South African rookie fought off four match points before finally falling by a score of 6-3, 4-6, 7-5.
"Mississippi State played well against us today," UT head coach Michael Fancutt said. "The highlights for us were obviously a couple of great matches by our seniors, with Simon Rea beating one of the top players in the country (No. 35-ranked Romain Ambert), and we also got a great win from Wade Orr."
The No. 6-seeded Volunteers began the day exhibiting fine form in doubles. Mississippi State won the doubles point against Tennessee when the two squads met in the regular season, but on Thursday, Bulldogs head coach Sylvain Guichard chose to field three doubles teams that had not played together all season.
Tennessee's All-SEC tandem of Simon Rea and Damien Spizzo dealt the first blow to the Bulldogs, notching an 8-4 win over MSU's Luiz Carvalho and Florent Girod at the No. 1 position. UT's Mark Dietrich and Wade Orr then clinched the doubles point by defeating Matt Armstrong and Jose-Carlos Pinto by the same score on court No. 3.
Mississippi State tied the match at 1-1 when Max Fomine downed UT freshman Matt Berry 6-3, 6-4 at the No. 5 singles position. The Bulldogs then took a 2-1 lead courtesy of Carvalho's 6-4, 6-3 victory over Dietrich at the No. 3 spot.
At the No. 6 position, Orr edged MSU's Arnaud Roussel 6-4, 6-2. The Bulldogs then reclaimed the lead as Girod outdueled Vols freshman Kiril Tcherveniachki 7-6(6), 6-3 on court No. 4, leaving Rea and Oosthuizen as the Vols last hopes.
The Vols (13-8) now turn their focus to the NCAA regional, which takes place May 14-16. Regional host sites have yet to be determined.

It looks close between Red Bull, Lotus and Ferrari. I believe that Mercedes will manage to find some tenth at least in qualifying. But Vettel will do a mega lap and take pole. Luckily we have Pirelli and some hot temperatures so the race could be interesting. At least I hope so.

First up is the imaginatively named Concept C. According to the automaker, 'C' stands for "Cool, "Challenge" and "China." As much as we wish we were making that up, we aren't. The car itself, though, looks pretty bold, with striking character lines down each side and a fascia that would look right at home on the next Battlestar Gallactica spinoff. We're curious to see how much of the C's conceptual styling makes it into production when a mass-market version hits the Chinese market in 2013 – if it were toned down just a bit, we think Honda could do worse than inject some of this boldness in its American lineup, though some might suggest the grille has overtones of the controversial styling decisions seen at Acura.
Moving along, we have the Concept S, which supposedly stands for "Stylish," "Smart" and "Surprise." Like the Concept C, Honda says Concept S will spawn a production model that will debut in China in 2013, with global sales following thereafter. Honda isn't saying exactly what is powering the S other than mentioning it's a hybrid.
Scroll down below for the complete press blast from Honda, but not before perusing our two high-res image galleries of the Concept C and Concept S.
BEIJING, China, April 23, 2012 - Honda Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. today exhibited at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show the world premiere of the Concept C and the Concept S, two concept models that show the direction of mass-production models Honda will introduce to the market next year. (The 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, press days: April 23 -24, public days: April 27 - May 2, 2012)
Concept C
Concept C is a concept model for a middle-class sedan Honda is developing specially for the Chinese market. The "C" represents "Cool," "Challenge," and "China." The Concept C features a stately, distinctive and sporty design that was inspired by the image of a dragon. The product planning for this model was led by Honda's Chinese associates and the development was done through cooperation between development teams in China and Japan. Honda is planning to introduce a mass-production model based on this Concept C next year through Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd.
Concept S
Concept S is a global concept model of a new-value passenger mover that was developed primarily for the Chinese market and will go on sale first in China. The "S" stands for "Stylish," "Smart" and "Surprise." Adopting a hybrid powertrain, this concept model realizes both the "fun of driving" and excellent environmental performance at the same time. A spacious cabin was realized by Honda's packaging technologies, which is one of the distinctive strengths of Honda. A mass-production model based on this Concept S is scheduled for introduction to the Chinese market through Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. next year, followed by a global release.
Introducing Acura ILX and RDX this fall
Also at the Beijing Motor Show, the Acura brand introduced the Acura ILX, a small-sized sedan and the RDX, a small-sized SUV for the first time in China. Both models are scheduled to go on sale in China this fall. Also an all-new Acura NSX Concept supercar will be displayed in China for the first time. The new NSX will be launched in China after it is launched in the U.S. within the next three years.
Strengthening China-original development models
Last year, Guangqi Honda launched the mass production model of its original brand named Li Nian. And yesterday, Dongfeng Honda introduced CIIMO, its originally developed middle-class sedan.
Comment of Takanobu Ito, President and CEO, Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
"What continues to drive Honda forward is our passion to take on new challenges with our technologies without being limited by what came before, and to create products that make our customers say, 'I wanted this kind of car!' We will concentrate this driving force here in China and build vehicles tailored to the needs of our Chinese customers. Toward this end, Honda and our joint venture companies will work together to further localize our development, production and parts sourcing in China."

Haunted Tours of the Hager House
Is the historic Jonathan Hager House haunted? What kinds of things "go bump in the night" in the home of the founder of Hagerstown? The answers to these questions will be revealed when the staff of the Hager House offers Haunted Hager House Tours on October 13, 14, 20, 21, 26, 28 and 29, 2007. Tours will be offered at 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. and reservations are required.
According to John Bryan, Historic Sites Facilitator, "Tourists ask us all the time if the house is haunted. Sometimes they're serious and sometimes they're joking. But I can tell you that we do have incidents that go unexplained, and the best way to relate them is to offer our special Haunted Hager House Tours during the Halloween season." Bryan said the staff will present true stories of things that occur in the house, such as objects that move and reports of actual sightings of ghosts. "We'll let the tourist decide if there are ghosts or not, we're just relating what we have experienced. The stories come only from staff, volunteers and tourists at the Hager House. It will be up to the visitor to determine whether these stories have logical explanations," said Bryan.
The most intriguing story involves reported screams coming from the basement, and the most common sightings are of a young 19th century woman, in the upper hallway and on the second-floor staircase, said Bryan. "Things happen outside the Hager House, too, and those stories will also be related. The phenomena range from darting shadows to the smell of pipe tobacco, and these things tend to always occur in the same locations."
The Jonathan Hager House is the original home of Jonathan Hager and was built in 1739 and proudly celebrates the 268th anniversary of its construction in October, 2007. Hager later founded Hagerstown in 1762. The house is located at 110 Key Street, in Hagerstown's City Park. Admission for the tours is $3.00 per person, with free admission for children under the age of six. Bryan suggests that if you are planning to bring children, parents should take into account how easily their child scares. Although there is nothing particularly scary about the tour, it is still a ghost tour the house is dark inside in the evenings especially.
Registration is required; for reservations or more information please call 301- 739-8393 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Obviously the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions look stunning; think Star Wars meets Gears of War levels of detail and you won't go too far wrong. However, Wii owners have something special in store as well. Admittedly, the Wii version has to do without all the DMM and Euphoria stuff, not to mention the gorgeous HD graphics, but there is more than a little recompense. First, the Wii version of The Force Unleashed has been designed from the ground up around the Wii's motion sensitive controls. The nunchuk controls movement and force powers, while the remote is - naturally - your light sabre. Secondly, the Wii version follows the same storyline as the 360 and PS3 versions, but gets its own Wii-specific levels. Finally, the Wii version comes with its own dedicated duel mode, giving Star Wars fans their dream of proper light sabre battles with the aid of the Wii remote.
I had some hands-on time with duel mode and it really is rather special. You can pick from heroes, villains and locations from across the Star Wars galaxy, including Obi Wan, Anakin, Qui-Gon Jin, Darth Maul, two versions of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade of Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith fame. Your Wii light sabre is nice and responsive, and you can use force lightning and hurl objects around with your force powers if you're the sort who doesn't fancy a fair fight. The game even fits in those signature moments when two light-sabres lock in combat, as you frantically twist the remote to fit the onscreen position and break the deadlock in your favour. The Force Unleashed might not be the new Tekken, but I can see it keeping a lot of would-be Jedis and Sith lords glued to the sofa this autumn.
The Force Unleashed is out on the 19th of September, so we still have an anxious summer to go before we see whether the game, the story and the whole experience hold up throughout. For now, however, I'm optimistic. There are no surefire bets in gaming, but this has the potential to be the strongest Star Wars title since Knights of the Old Republic. You can't really ask for more than that.

There are some handbags on Authentic Louis Vuitton Outlet that I want to recommend. first one: the single strap shoulder bags show a perfect combination of the transitional colors and animal fur. Bring pink and shinning green bring the breath of spring to you. The second: rough looking tassels continue to be popular and the leather texture is full of natural flavor. And the barrel shaped bag is originated from the fashion of fabric and jeans. Finally, super large traveling bag can be your daily accessory this season. Or classic logo is printed on the fabric in the transitional color and another new style is created by LV Bags Outlet.
