Tokyo Area Cosplay Store Guide (2016 Update)
Spring 2016 Update
This is a guide to some of the cosplay stores Ive found around the Tokyo area over the years. Figured it would be of help to others, especially those new to the area or just visiting.
Note to us guys: 75% of cosplayers are women. 90% of all cosplay shoppers are women. Thus; Cospaly stores cater to women. Cospa and ACOS however, do offer men's sizes for just about every costume they have. They just may not be on display is all (Especially on Otome Road). It's good to ask/check the catalog which will be available at the store or online. ACOS in particular is good about offering size cards.
Gee!Store Akihabara (Cospa)
- New Costumes/Wigs, Custom Orders, Accessories Y20,000~Y50,000
There is a Cospatio store located on the 5th floor of Gee!Store Akihabara. Cospatio hands down offers the highest quality off the rack costumes on the market. Be warned, they are not cheap. The store has a wig section and offers accessories, cosmetics, and wig styling products.
ACOS Akihabara
- New Costumes/Wigs. Y3,000~Y10,000
New and much improved location. Now located on the 6th floor of the old K-Books building "Akihabara Culture Zone Building". Nice selection of costumes and wigs a fair prices. Of note there's a little cafe in the back.
Lashinbang Akihabara
- New and Used Costumes/Accessories. Y3,000~Y10,000
A new store located on the 2nd floor of the same building as ACOS. The cosplay section is in the back left of the store. Small, but excellent prices. And has men's sizes!
Closed. Don't be fooled by the sign. The store is gone... Which saddens me. I really liked this store.
Mitsubado Cosplay Shop
- Used Costumes Y1,000~Y11,000
Located on the 2nd and 3rd floor of a building on one of Akihabaras back streets. This is a great place to look for quality used anime/game costumes. The store also has used cosplay shoes, swords, and some crafted props. Not to mention the best bargain bin selection around. I've seen costumes marked down to Y1,000. Mostly all women's sizes.
- Used Costumes Y1,000~Y10,000
Just a few blocks down on the same street as Mitsubado. Store is on the second floor, you have to go around to the back to get in. Very small shop, but will let you try on wigs before you buy. Very cool.
Assist Wig Japan Akihabara
- Wigs Y4,000~Y8,000
Located on the second floor of the retro game store on the main road Chuo Dori, a nice selection of cosplay wigs. They do not style wigs or take custom orders, but they have a relationship with Fuwat hair salon listed below.
- Hair Salon
This is a professional hair salon that will cut and style your wig for you.
Cosmate Plus
New Costumes Y8,000~Y22,000
This store is 1/3 anime and game cosplay. 1/3 school uniform/gym clothes. 1/3 assorted costumes such as maid, race queen... you see where this is going. But the anime costumes are decent quality and the selection of school uniforms is rather good.
Most stores are located on or around Otome Road.
ACOS Ikebukuro
New Costumes/Wigs/Accessories/Props. Y6,000~Y20,000
On the 2nd and 3rd floors of the old Animate building on Otome Road. A true one stop cosplay shop. The 2nd floors has a nice selection of above average costumes. The 3rd floor is wigs, accessories, and props. There is a very large selection of pre-styled character wigs, wig styling supplies, makeup, eyeglasses, shoes, swords, guns, parasols, even a fake violin with case.
Lashinbang Ikebukuro Cosplay Store
- New & Used Costumes/Accessories. Y3,000~Y10,000
A new store located on the 4th floor just above ACOS. This store is cosplay only and has a nice selection. Dirt cheap wigs.
K-Books Ikebukuro Cosplay Hall
New Costumes/Wigs/Accessories/Props. Y5,000~Y15,000
At the far end of Otome Road, this store has an excellent selection of costumes and some cheap pre-styled wigs as well. The store also carries some accessories such as eyeglasses, shoes, a few assorted props and instruments.
Wig Shop Maple Ikebukuro
New Costumes/Wigs/Accessories. Wigs Y4,000~Y6,000
New location on the 6th floor of the Mashita Building which is across the street of the new Animate building. Most cosplayers in Japan are familiar with Maple. Small store with a good selection of high quality wigs.
Assist Wig Japan Ikebukuro
New Wigs/Accessories. Y4,000~8,000
Located right off Otome Road by Mandarake. Mostly un-styled wigs with a few pre-styled. There is a shoe section in the back corner along with some swords/props.
Mandarake Ikebukuro
No longer sells cosplay items.
Bukiya Arms and Armor
-Costumes/armor/weapons Y10,000~Y100,000
In a new very difficult to find location. Now located on the 7th floor of a building a few blocks down from Otome Road. This store focuses on reproduction weapons, armor and historical clothing. Chainmail, samurai armor, European medieval clothing, Edo period helmets, early Meiji period uniforms, and a vast array of swords. Of note the store offers rentals. And warning. The store has a very odd schedule. Check the twitter page before going to make sure it's open that day.
Nakano Broadway
Nakano Broadway is actually a mall and predates Akihabara as anime/manga central by about 30 years. It just doesnt get the international hype. The 2nd through 4th floor is a basically heaven for collectors in general. FYI the 1st floor escalator takes you straight to the 3rd floor, not the 2nd.
Mandarake Cosplay Hall
New costumes/wigs/accessories Y3,000~Y15,000
Located on the 2nd floor. A good selection of new women's costumes and including some pre-styled wigs. There are also a few accessories in the back along with some Goth-loli stuff.
Cosplay Shop Candy-One
New Costumes/Wigs/Accessories Y10,000~Y15,000
Located on the 2nd floor, this store squeezes a lot of costumes into a small place. The store actually takes custom orders and offers good sales on its website. There are also some wigs and accessories such as color contacts and fake gems for costumes/props. FYI, Candy-One has a sister store on the 3rd floor that specializes in Goth-loli.
Campus Shop Cord
New School Uniforms/Accessories Y10,000~Y30,000
Located on the 3rd floor, this store only sells high quality school uniforms and has a good number of mens uniforms in addition to womens. The store has a large selection of almost everything school uniform related, but does not sell sailor style or gakuran uniforms.
Cospatio Shibuya (Cospa)
Mandarake Shibuya
No longer sells cosplay items.
ACOS Shinjuku
New Costumes/Wigs/Accessories/Props Y6,000~Y11,000
Located less than 5 minutes from the East/Kabukichou exit of JR Shinjuku station. On the the 3rd floor of Animate, there is an ACOS section with a number of costumes and some wigs. There is a good number of accessories and above average selection of swords and other prop weapons.
- New Costumes/Wigs/Accessories/Custom Orders
Somewhere in Shinjuku... See map. I've never been there, but it seems to be mostly high-quality custom order stuff.
Wig Shop Maple Nippori

Portsmouth risk a heavy points deduction from the Football League after its administration process today suffered a legal challenge from HM Revenue & Customs.
The taxman lodged a complaint at the high court about alleged "material irregularities" in the creditor vote that led to the company voluntary arrangement being approved last month. The CVA, prepared by the administrator, Andrew Andronikou, proposed 20p in the pound to all creditors over a four-year period, which would have allowed the club to exit administration without a football sanction.
However, HMRC believes Andronikou overlooked its legitimate claims and is pressing for the CVA to be revoked. If the high court appeal is sustained, Portsmouth's new owners would then have to set up a new company through which to make an application under "exceptional circumstances" rules to be admitted to the Football League following their relegation from the Premier League last season.
Even if that was approved, the outcome would in all probability lead to a double-digit points deduction for Pompey.
There have been four previous examples of clubs failing to agree CVAs with their creditors, the highest profile of which was Leeds United in 2007. Leeds received a 15‑point penalty for their failure to strike a valid CVA.
The force of the taxman's feeling in the case is reflected in the fact that HMRC stands to lose considerably more of the £34m it claims to be due if Portsmouth City Football Club Ltd is forced into liquidation than if the club were to exit administration through a CVA.
In a statement released this afternoon, the tax authority said: "HMRC can confirm that it has today made an application to the high court that the decision of creditors of Portsmouth City Football Club Ltd [in administration] should be revoked or suspended."
HMRC claims that its interests "have been or will be unfairly prejudiced by the taking of that decision". It adds: "There were material irregularities in the way in which the votes of creditors were counted at that meeting."
Andronikou's own conduct in the administration has become the subject of a separate contention. HMRC has complained to the courts that he, as chairman of the meeting of creditors, was in breach of insolvency rules.
The statement added: "HMRC can further confirm that it has also appealed to the court under Rule 1.17 of the Insolvency Rules against the chairman's decision to refuse to allow HMRC to vote in accordance with claims totalling £13,293,651.72 submitted at the meeting."
The decision today extends Pompey's period of administration. This means that, unless the court hearing is expedited before 31 August, Portsmouth are likely to be subject to a transfer embargo beyond the close of the transfer window.
In the meantime, there may be a requirement to sell more of the first-team squad that reached the FA Cup final last season in an effort to raise the cash to cover operating costs until the conclusion of the legal dispute. Andronikou was not returning calls today.

Sept. 3, 2011
Site: Orem, Utah (Shurian Family Activity Center)
Event: La Quinta Inn & Suites Invitational
Score: #24 Michigan 3, Cal Poly 0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-21)
Records: U-M (6-0), Cal Poly (3-4)
Next U-M Event: Friday, Sept. 9 -- vs. Florida State - Dayton Marriott Flyer Classic (Dayton, Ohio), 2 p.m.
OREM, Utah -- Senior Alex Hunt (Granger, Ind./South Bend St. Joseph), senior Courtney Fletcher (Johns Creek, Ga./Northview) and senior/junior Claire McElheny (Westfield, Ind./Brebeuf) each put down 11 kills as the No. 24-ranked University of Michigan volleyball team swept Cal Poly (25-17, 25-18, 25-21) in the finale of the La Quinta Inn & Suites Invitational on Saturday afternoon (Sept. 3) at the Shurian Family Activity Center. With the win, Michigan captured the invitational title; McElheny was named the tournament MVP.
Hunt and Fletcher joined McElheny on the all-tournament team, with senior libero Sloane Donhoff (Louisville, Ky./Assumption) being named the Defensive Player of the Tournament after totaling 46 digs in three matches, with 12 coming against Cal Poly. Freshman Lexi Dannemiller (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) handed out 44 assists with one service ace and four digs to direct the U-M offense, which hit .379 against the Mustangs.
U-M scored the first two points of the opening set, including one on a Dannemiller ace, and never looked back for a 25-17 first-set triumph. U-M hit .462 in the set, using four kills from McElheny and three each from sophomore Jennifer Cross (Scarborough, Ont./Birchmount Park Collegiate) and Hunt for the wire-to-wire win.
Cal Poly scored the first two points of the second frame, taking its first lead of the match. Michigan chipped away at the early deficit, before a Cross kill gave the Wolverines a 7-6 lead, which they held the rest of the way. The Maize and Blue relied on the outside attack of Hunt and sophomore Lexi Erwin (Spring, Texas/Woodlands College Park), who each had five terminations in the set to send Michigan to the intermission with a 2-0 advantage.
With the third set knotted at 16-all, a Cal Poly attack error followed by a Fletcher slide kill put Michigan on top, 18-16, and forced a Mustang timeout. Donhoff's ensuing serve hit the tape and fell over, extending the Michigan lead to 19-16. U-M's lead stayed at least two points the rest of the set for a 25-21 win.
Michigan will continue its nine-match opening road swing next weekend (Fri-Sat., Sept. 9-10) at the Dayton Marriott Flyer Classic in Dayton, Ohio. Michigan opens the tournament against Florida State on Friday at 2 p.m.
With 46 digs this weekend, Sloane Donhoff moved into third place on the all-time digs list with 1,457 digs. She needs just 19 more to pass Megan Bower (2006-09) for second place.
It was Michigan's first win versus Cal Poly. The Mustangs defeated Michigan in the team's only other match-up, coming in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
It was the first time Claire McElheny was named a tournament MVP during her career.
Setter Lexi Dannemiller recorded at least 40 assists in all three matches this weekend.
Sloane Donhoff had four service aces, the third time she has recorded at least four in her career.
It was Michigan's first tournament title of 2011.
Michigan Head Coach Mark Rosen
On the weekend as a whole ... "I was very pleased with our play this weekend. I thought this tournament was a big competitive step for us. We needed to raise our level of play from last weekend to this weekend, and I thought we did a really good job of doing that. I think our offense really took the biggest step of anything. The first weekend, it was a little rough. We were not at the tempo we need to be at and we were not really flowing very well. It took a big step in practice throughout the week and to see it in action this weekend was good. We got a lot more kills this weekend and we were getting them on first balls. It showed what steps we have made."
On the play of Sloane Donhoff ... "I think Sloane has just elevated her entire level of play. She has taken a huge step between her junior and senior season. We saw it in the spring and she has come out so far this season playing great. She is running our defense in the back row and just taken her game to a new level."
On freshman setter Lexi Dannemiller ... "You can see her progressing with every match. She is getting more comfortable with the tempo, all of her options and most importantly, the hitters. We joked last weekend that our offense was a little vanilla. I think now we are getting some swirls in there. We didn't want to overload her too quickly, but we need to keep moving forward with our offense as the season continues."
On where the team goes from here ... "I thought we struggled last weekend getting kills, but that was not an issue this weekend. Both middles became much more involved this weekend and we got Claire involved early and often. I really liked what I saw from this team this weekend, but we still have a long way to go. We built on the foundation of last weekend and hopefully, we can continue to do that every week we play."

Working example of Microformats as an APIApr 7, 2007 · 2 minute read
Drew posted a while ago asking can-your-website-be-your-api. The simple idea is that you just might be able to live without a dedicated API in favour of good use of microformats.
It also turns out Tantek has also been on the case with his presentation Can your website be your API? - Using semantic XHTML to show what you mean and
Glenn has spoken on the subject too at WebDD and BarCamp.
This has interested me for a while and I've finally gotten around to writing some code, in fact I wrote the bulk of it during The Highand Fling and then the rest before the Refresh event after I got to te venue an hour early.
I used Drew's hKit for the microformat parsing so everything that follows is PHP5 only I'm afraid. The also means I dont have a working example on this server at the moment but you can grab the code and try it out yourself. It also makes use of a couple of PEAR modules; PEAR Validate and PEAR HTTP_Request.
At the moment I've worked on a simple hCard example. It demonstrates the idea of a website exposing methods based on the presense of microformats, plus using that exposed method to extract the information we're looking for.
First we create objects for the parser and the website:
$parser = new hKit;
$website = new Website('http://morethanseven.net',$parser);
Then we'll ask what methods the website exposes:
In this example we get back an array of the available methods, in this case getContacts. Then just as an example lets print out some contact details:
foreach ($website->getContacts() as $contact) {
echo $contact->getFN();
This is a very early release, more of a proof of concept and as such their is no documentation and only a portion of hCard is supported. Hell, their's not even a name beginning with h! Having said that I have a plan for a little project to kick the tyres and so I'l l be adding to it and hopfully have a proper release at some point.
The plan is to introduce methods like getReviews, getEvents, etc. which allow for the extraction of the relevant details. The part I find most interesting however is the idea of the expose method - asking a web page if it has an API, and if it does then what information you can extract automagically. If you're interested let me know what you think.

In Ancaster Vets Slo Pitch action, the Braves won their seventh straight, thumping the Orioles 20-5. Legendary infielder Mark Edmondson hit one over the fence and one off it. Serge Fappiano was a scooping machine, and alert Jean Marc LeClair snagged two foul tips for outs.

Neil Panabaker doubled twice to lead the Orange Birds. Glenn Ferrell and Larry Travale power-bunted their way on base. Larry Sbrega and Scott Ashworth made fine catches.

Des Dufresne hammered a dinger and four other hits to lead the Giants in a slugfest over the Tigers 24-11. Al Borsollino pitched a great game and cracked three hits. Greg Wilson flashed the cowhide at third, and outfielder Bob Harpur provided solid glove-work.

Bill Dunnfield, Dave McInnis and Dave Anderson were perfect at the plate for the Tigers, and Russ MacLeod took care of business in the outfield.

The Cards defeated the Jays 13-5 behind the five-for-five hitting of Doug Parsons and two triples by Steve Warrick. Randy Crispo made a fine running catch to end a threat.

Ron Lacroix was three-for-the for Jays, and Bob Ward added three hits. John Parrett made a great catch in left, and Wayne Daniels played a strong third base.

Gord Winger had a perfect day at the plate and pitched well to lead the Marlins to an impressive 18-7 over the Sox.

Ken Lukas, Brad Lockwood and Andrew Lemmex pounded the ball for the fish. Bob Parsons was solid at short to support the fine pitching of Don French.

Reg Sinasac was perfect at bat for the Sox, and Chuck Gibson belted two hits. Robert Lindley returned with a good all-around game, and Gord Kudlowich starred in left.

The Indians won their ninth straight, coming back to beat the Dodgers 17-13. Doug Farrell smacked two long home runs, and Rick Pearson was perfect in four trips. Rob Cavalieir and Ed Salwach had three hits each and shared a well-earned pitching win. Second sacker Don Pente made a terrific diving catch.

Bruce Lawson played a superb center field and was perfect at the plate to lead the Dodgers. Mike Harris and Chris Chevalier had three solid hits each.

The A's won another tight game, as Brian KcKeown crushed a liner to cash in the winning run in the seventh. Ray D'Andrade belted a three-run homer, and multi-talented John Donovan made a juggling catch in centre field.

Jim Banyard, Steve Davis, John King and Ken Boyko swung hot bats for the Pirates. Wayne Watson played a solid second, and Rob Winger started an awesome double play. Jim Gaudry made as snappy grab of a line shot at third.

Anderson thrilled the rain-soaked crowd at the last event on weather-challenged Cypress Mountain as he raced through the dense fog and squeezed past Austria's Benjamin Karl to win.
The Canadian started with a slight time deficit after the first run of the final but made up ground coming down the course and finished a few board lengths ahead of Karl.
After crossing the finish line Anderson looked back, realised he had won and screamed as he pumped his arms in the air with the audience, including his daughters holding a 'Go Papa Gold' sign, going wild.
"Pretty hard to beat, eh? Olympic gold at home," Anderson said. "Today's the day and what tops it off is that my little girls were here to watch it. I hope they remember it.
"I'm sure they were just cheering because it was their dad, not because their dad was doing well. I think that's the best part of the day -- having the girls there and having them be just as proud of me if I'd had a bad day," he said, his voice breaking as he turned aside and tried to hold back tears.
Anderson, the 2009 world champion who runs a blueberry farm with his wife in the off-season, showed none of that emotion when he was flying down the slick, icy course.
"I had so much time to make up and in these conditions it's virtually impossible," said Anderson, who started the second final nearly a second behind Karl.
"I just thought, a true athlete thrives on adversity. So I tried to be a true athlete."
The fog was so thick spectators could not see the course less than 40 metres in front of them. But the hundreds of plastic poncho-clad fans who braved elements ranging from hail to torrential rain waved their red mittens when Anderson won.
Sno-Cat drivers at the top of the mountain honked their horns when they heard Anderson had won and the crowd chanted "Jasey Jay, Jasey Jay" and rang cowbells as he got his medal.
France's Mathieu Bozzetto won bronze after beating Russian Stanislav Detkov in the small final.
Adam Mcleish finished 24th in qualifying, he was the 52nd and final British athlete to compete at the Games.
He said: "I'm pleased I had two clean runs as it's pretty hit or miss in our sport. I think it's cool that so many people came out to support in this terrible weather. It's been fun."

Maple Syrup Heist Leaves Quebec in a Sticky MessBy
Anyone who has ever craved a dose of maple syrup—the real stuff, not the high fructose corn syrup that comes in a container shaped like a matronly woman—already knows it's the nutritional equivalent of liquid gold. There's that earthy sweet taste. There's the price, which can easily reach $60 a gallon or more.
But few appreciate the strategic value of boiled sap like the people of Quebec. Canada's francophone province is the Saudi Arabia of the syrup world, producing some three-quarters of the world's output. With the global market under stress—U.S. production is down 32 percent this year to 1.91 million gallons, according to the Department of Agriculture (PDF)—perhaps it was only a matter of time before thieves targeted Quebec's rich reserves.
The puzzle is how the culprits managed to siphon off almost C$30 million ($30.4 million) of syrup. That's the equivalent of 10 million pounds or roughly 15,000 barrels of syrup. And the stock didn't vanish somewhere in the supply chain of a major city. It's missing from a warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, a tiny town of 903 people, according to the 2011 Census. They're usually more focused on cranberries, whether it's harvesting them or celebrating them in cranberry festivals.
So imagine the surprise when a "routine inventory check," as the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (FPAQ) calls it, revealed evidence of a massive heist. Row after row of barrels were empty, filled with nothing but sweet-smelling Quebec air.
Now it's the federation that has some explaining to do. These are the protectors of the sap, the maple barons who have an OPEC-like sway in syrup circles and represent some 13,500 producers. Along with handling bulk syrup sales and marketing, the federation is responsible for what it calls the "global strategic maple syrup reserves." Much like oil reserves, those backup supplies are supposed to protect against the vagaries of bad weather and volatile prices. Last week, everyone thought Quebec was heading into the winter with 37 million pounds in reserve. More than a quarter of that is now gone.
No wonder these folks find themselves in what many might call a sticky situation. Federation President Serge Beaulieu, in a release, said his group "always acts with caution to protect producers' harvests." FPAQ is currently outfitting a factory that will store its inventory. Although the pilfered warehouse was one of several temporary sites, he added, it was "secured by a fence and locks, and visited regularly." The stolen material was, of course, fully insured. (Executive Director Anne-Marie Granger didn't respond to e-mail and phone requests for comment.)
But make no mistake. The federation understands the gravity of the situation. As FPAQ noted, "several American states saw a very low, indeed catastrophic, harvest during the 2012 season. The Quebec harvest, however, remained normal." As USDA statistician Hernán Ortiz explains, "the season ended too early for many producers because of a heat wave in late March." Does Ortiz see any link between the syrup crisis and the massive haul? "It seems like a hard thing to steal," he says, "but maple syrup is becoming more popular in Florida and other places."
Aha! Keep an eye out for a surge of sweet stuff down South. Trouble is, unlike laundered money, maple syrup doesn't come with a serial number. In fact, food is proving to be a remarkably easy commodity to steal. Bristol Voss of Minyanville notes that, in Canada alone, thieves have recently made off with a "football field's worth" of potatoes, hives containing 3,600 kilograms of honey, 6,000 cattle, and 72,000 kilograms of chicken. Anyone who loves maple syrup knows the real stuff needs more than just a lock and key.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I was at the big "Occupy Philly" gathering and march in center city Philadelphia Saturday. The size of the event had to rival what's been happening on Wall Street in New York. Are the days of apathy over?
I was disappointed not to see any zine tables among the tables at the Philly City Hall gathering site.
Once, underground writers-- who were once all zinesters-- were at the forefront of activism and cultural change.
If people are fighting plutocracy in the economy, they should also be fighting plutocracy in the culture.
In recent years the hobbyists have dominated underground publishing. The activist wing of the movement has all but vanished. Is it time for this to change?

I'm sure as hell not the 1%, but the rallying cry of "You are part of the 99%!" is distastefully presumptuous and patronizing in the extreme. *I* am *not* a part of *your* 99%, and have no desire to be. I have *no* "solidarity" with *your* 99%. There are *all kinds* of perspectives and strategies *other than* the Occupy or Tea Party movements. They're for *thinking* people, not envy-heads, greed-heads, authoritarians and crypto-authoritarians. Maybe *you* are part of the *98%*, and a tiny minority of of us are part of the *other* 1%.
I think you are assuming an awful lot James. The 1% and 99% are based on income levels solely. You are in the 99%, it implies nothing more. No need to distance yourself from protesters you may have nothing in common with, and no need to add in false assumptions or a plethora of quotes and asterisks, that just makes you look a little crazy.

I brake launched my 04 4EAT (automatic) wrx at 2500rpm with a reaction time of 0.06 seconds and i am still getting constant 16.8s times. WTF???
i dont know what can be going wrong.
i have an HKS uppipe and performance muffler installed with a tranny cooler, i dont see why my quarter mile times are so slow. any help would be GREATLY appreiated.
from what i hear, the stock auto wrx's should be running mid 15's to high 14s times.

If I didn't think they were exactly the kind of impulse-buy product I'd expect to find sitting in an electronics store, probably at an airport, I'd be more critical of the presentation-over-practicality packaging of the Custom Tuned Earphones. I kid you not to say that it took me a good 15 minutes to figure out how on earth I was supposed to separate the Rock 'phones from their plastic surround - a challenge not helped by my refusal to simply smash the lot on the floor and hope for the best.
Inside, there's less to be frustrated about. Radipaq bests both Klipsch and Shure by giving the main body of its earphones metal, rather than plastic, casings and although size varies slightly with the different genres of 'phones, all four types are still pleasantly small and light. Conversely, all Radiopaq offers aside from the earphones is a trio of silicone tips - small, medium and large - which is a little stingy considering Klipsch and Shure also provide carrying cases to protect their products when not in use.
Each pair of earphones has its genre written on it - well, apart from the Classic set which is just embossed with "Clas" - so if you did pick up two different genre earphones there isn't any risk of confusing the two.
Trying out the Pop earphones with The Saturdays' Set Me Off their claim of offering improved mid-range and vocal response versus rival earphones didn't exactly jump out. While the audio produced is pleasantly clear, it doesn't seem more so than rival earphones. Outkast's Ms Jackson fared similarly, being perfectly listenable but hardly jumping out as notably improved by Radiopaq's tuning.
Crossing genres there's less success. Pendulum's Propane Nightmares, while not bad as such, sounded notably better on the S4s and SE102s and the Pop tuning definitely didn't do any favours to Tchaikovsky's symphony No. 4 in F minor.

We have vacationed in France once or twice a year for many years but somehow we have never spent any time at all in Marseilles.
It seems that some areas have undergone a renewal of some sort.
Has anyone spent any time there lately?
Any suggestions for hotels/restaurants ?
Is there enough of interest to spend a day or two there, or would a day trip be adequate?
Thanks for any information.

Been to Marseilles recently?
We have vacationed in France once or twice a year for many years but somehow we have never spent any time at all in Marseilles.

I will be returning there this year precisely because it is a European Capital for Culture for 2013 -- and they have made some sensational preparations for it including new muséums and a totally renovated Vieux Port.
Report Abuse
Thanks Kerouac.
Seems like not too popular a destination!

Yes, only 4 million tourists last year.

No need to be snide.
I meant with the Fodor travellers...since yours was the only response!

And I am still the only person to answer, because people from the American oriented sites have been told that Marseille is a horrible place to be avoided. They all want to go to Monte Carlo.
Anyway, I have just scheduled 2 full days in Marseille at the beginning of July before going to the Avignon festival, so I won't be able to give an authentic update until then.
Report Abuse
no, the reason is just because no one noticed the post, that's all, and it sank quickly.
I was there a couple years ago, I really recommend an Accor hotel in the McGallery collection, Grand Hotel Beauvau or something like that, very convenient near the port. Of course there is enough to do for a couple days, I was there about 4, as I recall.
Sorry, I don't take notes on restaurants, I just eat at places I see that look decent, don't usually plan.

I noticed the post and have been awaiting replies, but I agree with Lyn that Marseille probably is not terribly popular with Fodorites.
I was in school in Aix a number of years ago when every train out of Aix stopped in Marseille first. We were advised by school not to leave the train station in the evening because of the crime. I did visit the city during the day and can't say it is any place to which I am dying to return. However, I understand it has improved in the intervening years.
We have one day in Aix at the end of our trip in June, and my son is dying to visit Marseille instead of spending that day in Aix. I was hoping you would get some responses that I could forward on to him. Despite the fact that Marseille is a European Capital of Culture this year, I would rather spend our time in Aix and will be sending my son off to Marseille by himself.

Thanks all.
Have a good trip, Digbydog.

I'm going to be staying at the Ibis Budget for just 60€ a night right on the Vieux Port. Aix is rather sleepy and boring as far as I am concerned. Marseille is a vibrant and busy place.
Report Abuse
Ibis is good not exactly on the Port but 5-8min walk.AFew steps from the unique Haussmann style, Avenue de la Republique.
There is a starbucks and the Maison de la Glace ice cream shop on the avenue de la Republique
For fun ,do not miss the mini cruise from old Port to Pointe Rouge beach or to the Calanques.
You will also find a nearby shopping mall ,Galleries Lafayette an excellent sushi shop/restaurant and a gourmet super market .

Thanks Lyn. Hope you have a good trip too!
Kerouac-- I think my 24 year old son would agree with you about the comparison between Aix and Marseille. However, I adore Aix.

Mzani, the Ibis Budget Vieux Port on rue Sainte (former Etap Hôtel) is a grand total of 200 meters from the dock of the Vieux Port. You are obviously thinking about the 'normal' Ibis, which is considerably more expensive.
Report Abuse
@ Kerouac
Ibis Budget is indeed overlooking the picturesque Place Estienne d'Orves right in the middle of the action ,safe,with plenty of restaurants and cafés around like i.e. La Côte de Boeuf (frecnh style cookshow grill) and Paul & Kopa for pizzas and local delicacies (like the suppions,aubergine provençale etc...)
Rue Sainte is THE 'gastro' street of Marseille with i.e. the excellent Ambassade de Bretagne for 'crêpes' and not only, La Poule Noire or l 'Aromat (value for money ),
there is also a Maison de la Glace ,icecream shop on Rue Sainte.
and of course the nearby Depuichafray pastry shop /deli take away.

Have stayed numérous times at both IBIS ( Ibis Bourse ) on Rue Colbert (by RUE DE LA République ) and ETAP Vieux-Port ( now called - somewhat upgraded? - IBIS Budget).
Etap/IBIS Vieux-Port is exceptionally centrally situated. Most Etaps are located usually out of city center, suburban, by the motorway locations so Location/Price ratio of this one is great. What I don't like is, the rooms are somewhat dark with one small window, especially when you get one of the rooms facing COURS Honoré Estienne d'Orves, a tiny window. It was a place nice enough to sleep, in a hot summer, with air-con that worked well. Not bad for 1* hotel. €60 is only a bit more than what I have paid in the past between €40 and 55. Not bad. Their rooms have a single bed superposed over the large bed. Very economical option for a couple with a kid.
Lately I have been staying more often at IBIS Marseille Centre Bourse, have paid between € 50 and 80. Its relative disadvantage is a bit longer walk to the Vieux-Port but that's only half a km on the large and République street. When my room was on 6th or 7th floor, I had a view of Notre Dame de la Garde. Bedding better, compared to Etap, nicer white sheets and firm and thicker mattress etc.
Report Abuse
Ibis has recently upgraded the mattresses in all of its hotels, and having just stayed at the Ibis Euston London this week, I can attest that this is true for all of its European hotels apparently -- and after having slept in Ibis beds at least a dozen times in the last year, because these mattresses are absolutely the best mattresses that I have ever had in a hotel. (free plug)
However, I am quite sure that during my upcoming 2 nights at the Ibis Budget, I will not have the same quality mattress -- but still perfectly acceptable.

Coupling of photonic, plasmonic and electrical effects have been studied in plasmonic systems. Strong enhancement of photoinduced electric currents was observed in nanostructured systems. We found that the effect is related to plasmon excitation and propagation. An inverse effect – galvanic modulation of plasmons - has been demonstrated as well. These findings can have a great impact as they provide possibility for direct incorporation of plasmonic elements into electronic circuits.
Rare earth ions, such Eu3+, having both electric and magnetic dipole-related transitions can provide unique opportunity to probe and map distributions of optical magnetic and electric fields in plasmonic systems. The effects of local optical environment on spontaneous emission spectra, kinetics and radiation patterns of Eu3+ was studied in the conditions of plasmon resonances. We showed that effects are different for electric and magnetic dipoles, and developed the setup for spectroscopic mapping of metamaterials. Current studies involve mapping of systems with optical magnetism and NSOM spectroscopic studies.
Earlier, we demonstrated that electron magnetic resonance in magnetic nanoparticles demonstrates features related to the quantum behavior of a giant spin cluster, including multiple quantum transitions. Changes in the shape of the main resonance and magnitude of quantum features were studied as the function of the particle size and temperature. We continue experiments and theoretical studies to get more information on the spin dynamics of magnetic nanoparticles as a boundary case between purely quantum (reversible) behavior and classical (irreversible) thermodynamics.
Nanoparticles Magnetic nanoparticles are promising for many interesting applications in science, technology and biology, including MRI and medical hyperthermia. Our experimental studies of nanoparticle-related effects observed in NMR spectra and spin relaxation demonstrate very high sensitivity of spin relaxation times, T1, to the molecular motion. The magnitude of the effects depends on the particle size. Ultra-fine iron oxide particles are found to be most promising for biomedical imaging based on T1 based contrast.
We explore a possibility to create tunable metamaterials for microwave applications, such as suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles in polymer composites. In dense systems with 5 nm and 10 nm iron oxide particles, we successfully demonstrated tuning of magnetic permeability in a broad range from negative to positive values with external magnetic field. Current research includes multilayered systems with high magnetic susceptibility materials.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi. I am here. I will be leaving my office for the afternoon in 10 minutes but will be back at 7pm. thank you for the positive rating.
more time. I know that is hard. But you have no other choice. you dont want to leave. give her some time to see your therapist.
you love her and want to be with her so honor what she needs now and hope that she will come around and desire what you do.
its so hard
i know she need time
but i feel useless
I know it is. You are doing all you can right now
talking helps, i wish i could talk to someone everyday, to help me be patient, do you recommend medication for me
I am so sorry but I need to run to pick up my kids from school. Click save and exit and come back to it tonight after 7pm so I can support you.
I would speak with your therapist about meds
and you can come to me as often as you need to.
I want to listen and keep you grounded.
Well last night she went to see my therapist, and it did not turn out the way i expected. He told her that we needed to separate for 6 months to a year because both of us are in a crisis. I do not agree with this, but she does. He also told her that she needed to see psychoatris instead of a therapist becasue she really has some deep issuse going way back in her life..
I am not as sure as you are that this will work out in the long run, i believe that once i leave the house it will all be over, because i dont reallt think she ever loved me at all. because how do you just fall out of love? she loves me as her childrens father still, she is so cold, but you know last night after we talked, she let me make love to her, what the hell that? i asked for it and she said ok..
I guess i knew deep down inside that i was going to have to leave and give her the time she needs to clear her head. i am so sad, i have no one else to turn too, its going to be so hard just going to work and coming home and not seeing my wife and kids, and sleeping alone, being alone, i have no one. I mean i helped my kids with their homework, cleaning cooking, bathing, dressing brushing teeth, walking the dog, man what am i going to do now?
Its going to be very hard for me to be around the kids while she is there, its going to be very hard for me not to call her, its going to be very hard not to text and e-mail her. So i thought about diappearing for a month or two while i get my head together. I just cant see her after i leave, i love her too muchto pretent every thing is going to be ok... i hope she get the help she needs...right now i cant funstion at work, its a shame these things happen

This is my song "K-hole" This song is a part of a compilation called "The Rise of Moombahton" which was put together by Pickster & MixMag! This is just 1 out of 19 FREE tracks that you can download at the following links: Here: http://soundcloud.com/elcucorecordings/sets/pickster-presents-the-rise-of-moombahton/ or Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vpr04c4crzawbld HUGE thanks to Pickster & MixMag for pushing this scene forward. I'm happy to be a part of the comp! More info below... Pickster presents: The Rise of Moombahton "Today We Were Kings" RELEASE DATE 10.28.2011 Tradition and family run deep in the Moombahton scene. The seasonal Moombahton compilations started by Munchi in the Summer of 2010 kicked off a tradition. As the seasons change a different Moombahtonista curates a compilation that takes a snap shot of the scene and the producers making noise at that time. David Heartbreak followed with the Fall Of Moombahton in 2010, DJ Melo with the Winter Of Moombahton in 2010, Lightning Eyez with the Spring Of Moombahton in 2011, and Munchi with Verano Del Moombahton in the summer of 2011. Pickster from Phoenix, Arizona has taken the baton and put together the Fall compilation for 2011. The Rise Of Moombahton "Today We Were Kings". Everybody is a king or queen for at least one day in their own world. Whether you're on top of the game or just coming up and hitting that first milestone, were all kings or queens for a day. With that said, the comp showcases some OG Moombahtonistas that have been there from the beginning, as well as some young up and comers. Pickster, not feeling the name The Fall Of Moombahton, instead called the Fall compilation The Rise Of Moombahton, feeling it to be a better fit for this rising genre. Tracklist: 1. DJ Melo & Steve Starks - Un Gran Circo 2. Sluggo & Pickster - Vida Loco 3. Apt One - Yin Yang 4. Jon Kwest - The One 5. Shelco Garcia & TeenWolf - Disco Rides 6. UFO! - Reptillian Sex Parade 7.

Personally right now I'm thrilled that we have a bye week. Normally I'm not a big fan of them, but we need a little time to regroup here and get some of our guys that are nicked up back. But that'll come at a good time.
And along those lines, too, I can't say enough about the young guys that have stepped in and helped keep us moving forward. And that's on special teams, obviously at the middle linebacker position. We played three guys, and that was not part of the plan initially. But it worked out.
You know, it's the young guys stepping in and doing a good job and the older guys, also, being supportive of those guys and helping them out, not only tonight but during the week. Our guys are playing together. They're doing some good things, and we've got a lot to work on still but we're thrilled to be 1 and 0 in conference play.
Q. The goalline stand was outstanding.
COACH FERENTZ: It really was. Nothing easy, again, in this game, and certainly when you can come up with some goalline stands we had a couple last year that really helped us win football games. To stop them on 4th down, that was a huge play. Our field position wasn't so good in that second half, but we'll take that one. We'll take it on the 1 if it keeps them out of the end zone, so a real tribute to our players again for doing a nice job.
Q. Offensive fast start, Stanzi was on the money.
COACH FERENTZ: Yeah, he was. You know, Ricky continues to lead us really well. He was sharp coming out and ready to roll. They made some adjustments certainly, and we expected that. They're an excellent defensive football team. They have been forever. Nothing came easy as we went along.
But I thought our guys really competed hard, and same thing on defense. Our guys competed hard. Again, I'll pay tribute to our staff and our players. We talk about next man in; having Norm not in the operation right now, everybody is just staying straight ahead and coming up big for us.
Q. Can you tell us anything more about Coach Parker at this point?
COACH FERENTZ: Yeah, he's still not with us, and I'll elaborate a little further next week probably when I know more. But when we get him back we'll be thrilled to death.
But I've been pretty consistent saying our biggest concern is that when he comes back he's in for the long haul, and we're not fooling around with any of that kind of stuff. He kind of ran himself into the ground a year ago that Michigan State week, and we don't want to see that happen again so we want him to come back when he can really be with us.
Q. What is your situation healthwise at middle linebacker and how did James play out there?
COACH FERENTZ: I think a week from Saturday it's going to be great, and a week from today it's still Saturday, I guess. Yeah, I think we'll be absolutely fine. Tarp tried to go. He passed his pregame test and tried to go and just couldn't finish. He didn't start the game; Troy Johnson started the game. That was our plan. Tarp missed a lot of time this week, and Troy was doing a great job. He came out, and we expect him back in the matter of days. Tarp will be the same way. This week off really will come at a good time for him and Troy.
And again, kudos to James, James jumped in and did a good job. And congratulations to you, John, for a very welldeserved, prestigious award. That's fantastic.
Q. Penn State is such a traditional measuring stick for the Big Ten. What does it say about this team and this program to not only win today but three in row against them?
COACH FERENTZ: Again, as I mentioned earlier, none of them come easy. That's one constant. You play a Coach Paterno coached team, as I said earlier in the week, they play good defense year in and year out. That running back is top shelf. He's a tremendous player. Royster is an outstanding performer and player. They make you earn everything, and that's exactly what happened tonight.
I guess things have matched up for us, and I'm not counting a number, but I just know that our guys have played well. That's the only way you're going to beat those guys.
Q. You've talked in the past a lot about the fans, but the showing in the black and gold section, that's pretty impressive.
COACH FERENTZ: I'd like to take credit for that idea; I'm not nearly that creative. But boy, Gary Barta and I talked about that a little just before we came out, how good the environment. It's always good in Kinnick at and it's always good at night, but that was a really nice touch, and I appreciate our fans jumping in the spirit of things. But boy, I'll tell you, the night games in Kinnick are pretty special, and if doesn't heart going, I don't know what would, just coming out of that tunnel. And boy, that's a thrill and doesn't get old, either.
Q. Talk about what they did on defense the second half to slow down your offense a little bit.
COACH FERENTZ: A couple things. They made some adjustments, which you'd expect. They're extremely well coached. Tom Bradley has been there almost as long as Coach Paterno. I'm saying that half jokingly, but he played there and never left, and that's emblematic of their program. That's how they do things.
As I mentioned Tuesday, that's 12 points a game the last two years. They're right about there now, and we ended up with I think two touchdowns tonight, right? It's just tough scoring on them, always has been, always will be.
They made some adjustments, and I think the other factor was our field position in the second half. I'm not complaining about it, but it was dramatically different. We just had a long field a lot of the time. I thought our offense did a good job of moving it out, changing field position.
Ryan came up big, Donahue came up big with some punts, and I thought he would. He only mishit a couple early, so I kind of suspected he'd bounce back, and he did. All those little things really help you win football games.
Last time we didn't kill the clock but we advanced it down, where I think we felt like we're in pretty good shape here if we can get the punt out of there, and we did. So all those little things add up to winning or losing, and our guys responded pretty well tonight.
Q. (Inaudible.)
COACH FERENTZ: He's an experienced player now. That would be my answer, and I think you could ask him and see what he says. But I go back to the Orange Bowl. I really thought he was right on task that night. That's the sharpest to me since that time, including that game, I think he's really been sharp, and I think part of that is being a fifth year senior, a fifth year senior who works extremely hard. We don't have a guy on our team that works any harder then him. It's just nice to see that effort and that dedication pay off.
Q. It's a pretty good time for the bye week, coming off a physical game like this?
COACH FERENTZ: Not pretty good, really good.
Q. And then Michigan after that and what they give you and the different looks.
COACH FERENTZ: I haven't thought about that part, but I just know this last twoweek block was really important for our football team for a lot of reasons. We've put a lot into that. And then you know with our injury situation right now, this is just I'm normally not a big fan. I'd rather just keep playing.
But this week couldn't be better. It's right in the middle of our season. We've been at this thing eight weeks, now we've got eight more from today. So I couldn't find a better time for it. And we'll work our younger guys, get them caught up because we're going to need them and try to rest some of the guys that have been playing a lot.
Q. Kreiter's play in the first half was some sort of broken coverage, but he was able to rebound.
COACH FERENTZ: Yeah, Sean is a very competitive football player. He's not the biggest guy in the world, but he is extremely competitive. If something happens, he's going to work hard to get back in the picture. He did that.
And the other nice thing is now he's got a return on film that we can actually show without laughing at him because last year in this game if you remember, he ran about three minutes off the clock after he picked it off and I think he lost two yards. But it was like the worstever return of an interception. We showed that a few times last year, so this will be a little bit more fun for him to watch.
Q. You said this twoweek block is really important. What exactly did you mean by that?
COACH FERENTZ: We got beat on the road and didn't play a characteristic the kind of football that we want to play. There's no guarantees how everybody is going to respond first and foremost, and I thought the guys came back with a good week after that trip. You know, you had a loss to deal with, you had logistics to deal with, the TSA am I using the right is that the right term for it? I get my letters mixed up. You know, all those things.
But the guys, they did a good job and came back and played, and I thought this week our practice was good. Probably some of that execution we saw in the first half I think was the benefit or the result of us practicing a little bit better. I think we finally this week started to practice maybe the way we need to, not that we can't get better, but at least it looked a little more like a decent football team out there in practice.
Q. Talk about Adam Robinson, not only almost 100 yards rushing but didn't put the ball on the ground, took a lot of hits out there and continues to move the ball.
COACH FERENTZ: Two things; didn't put it on the ground, which is huge when you play Penn State or anybody in conference but Penn State; and then the other part, his blocking, which doesn't go down Penn State is always very active with their linebackers, and Adam's pickup from the sideline looked very good, and that's not something we take for granted. So we appreciate that. Our backs have to block, and he does a good job. He's a tough, hardnosed football player, and he gives us a better chance to win. That's for sure. He's one of the guys that will rest next week.
Q. Any idea how it was going to go on the goal line the 4th and 1?
COACH FERENTZ: The guys upstairs said it was kind of a cloudy picture. You'd like to think the official right on the spot had the best angle and made the right call, and you'd hope it gets supported.
Q. Battle of field position in the second half, how big was Ryan?
COACH FERENTZ: Really good. As I mentioned, he mishit a couple early, uncharacteristic of him. My mindset at that point, he's going to come back. He's too good of a football player. And he did. He did a great job, absolutely fantastic. And then their guy got in the swing of things. Boy, he nailed that one, whoa, where did that come from. But Ryan did a great job.
Our staff, you know, they talked to me, I was half tempted to go for it on that 4th and whatever it was down there, and the guys reminded me that maybe field position might be a good idea, so I appreciate that voice of reason, and Ryan helped. He made us look good. He dropped it right in there.
Q. Paul Chaney came back from ACL last year and still seems to be the same speed
COACH FERENTZ: I think he is, yeah. We need to get him involved. I know he's working hard. He's had a couple good weeks, and we need speed like that. There are not too many guys with speed like that, so hopefully we can get him involved. We're going to need everybody here as we go along, at all positions, so it was good to see him do some good things tonight.
Q. Ricky has ten wristbands that he wears to practice, during games. He said he gets them from kids in the hospital, people that send him stories in the mail. What does that say about him that not only does he except these gifts but he wears during practice, during games, all the time it seems?
COACH FERENTZ: Rick has got a great heart, and he's a heck of a football player. He's a tough football player physically and mentally.
And then first thing I think about when I think of Stanzi as a football player was the way he supported James Vandenberg last year when Ricky was out, up there every night watching tape other than the night he had the surgery. Tuesday night he went home after practice because at practice he had his foot up there. And those are the things I tell NFL people. You want to know what kind of guy this guy is, he's there supporting a young guy getting ready for a big game.
It doesn't surprise me. He's got a great heart. He really cares about people, and I think it's somebody I hope all of our guys emulate, a lot of things he does. He's just a tremendous young man.
Q. It seems like the great defensive lines in history have had nicknames. When I asked Christian Ballard that, he says he'd like to be called the Crazies. Can I get your take on that?
COACH FERENTZ: You know, I'm not big on nicknames, I guess, for groups. People I'm okay with. But I don't know. Let's wait until the season is over and then those guys are playing good, and we need that. That's where it all starts for us.
Q. Christian had some big plays for you tonight. How far has he come since he's arrived here in Iowa City?
COACH FERENTZ: He was pretty good when he got here, but it's kind of like when we talked about Ricky Stanzi; he's a fourth year senior now, and you'd like to think everybody is a better football player. If they're not, we're not doing our jobs and they're not doing their jobs, too. So he's improved.
I think one thing, last year he unselfishly moved inside, and I go back when things are going right, I go back to the spring of '09 it would have been, where we had a couple guys get hurt in spring ball on a Friday afternoon. I can't tell you what the date was, but I remember the moment. And both Adrian and Christian jumped on inside without a coach saying a word to them because we were thin on defensive linemen. To me it was a great indicator that those guys are thinking right. And then lo and behold, Broderick arises so we end up moving him in.
And I don't think he played probably as fast maybe last year as he is right now because it's his first year inside, and it's different playing inside than outside. He's been very unselfish through his career. He's a better football player, and it looked he had it going tonight, which is good. I'm glad to see that.
Q. What would you tell your defense to keep them grounded, what do you have to do to get better here?
COACH FERENTZ: We've got things. I saw some missed tackles out there tonight, I know that. There's always things out there that we have to work on and there's some routes that we're giving up right now on occasion, and we can do a lot of things to play a little bit smarter. That's a challenge. Once we start thinking we've arrived anywhere, we'll go right downhill fast, especially in this conference. It doesn't matter who you're playing, you'd better be thinking about moving forward.
Q. Did you have your alter down your defense with James in there?
COACH FERENTZ: No, we played. He got a lot of work this week, and the good news is he's been at that position maybe all about three or four practices at the front end, so he's been working that position. Our threes don't get a lot of work in practice, so they've got to pay attention. He's a sharp guy. He was that way in high school. He studies and works at it, so that's giving him a chance to and he's competitive. James is competitive. First thing you hope he doesn't do is blow something, leave something just wide open, give them an easy big gain. It didn't seem like he did that, and that's a real credit to him. He was ready to go when he got called upon.
Q. Is 28 carries about the upper reaches for Adam?
COACH FERENTZ: He could have gone 50 today. We've got the week off next week, so it's okay. But obviously we've got to get our young guys moving forward here. And I'm not saying he can't do it. Fred Russell did it and Fred wasn't as big as Adam. But we can't bank on one guy. We've got to develop and make some progress there.

Timeshare resale fraud is the #1 complaint according to the Florida Attorney Generals office. The state of Florida's House of Representatives voted unanimously to passed a bill that cracks down on timeshare resale fraud. What is timeshare resale fraud? It's when a timeshare resale marketing or advertising company charges an upfront fee to list your timeshare for sale. Some of these companies actually tell timeshare owners they have a buyer waiting, but the seller must deposit funds in escrow to initiate the transaction. Watch the video from Tampa Bay, Florida WFLA News Channel 8 to hear a story from Elaine McLaughlin about her experience with International Timeshare Network:
Courtney Regan from CNBC answered a callers question about how to sell her timeshare during the Money 911 segment of the Today show.
Sue from Columbus story is one we here from many people who are interested in selling their timeshare. They are getting older, they can't use their timeshare anymore, the kids don't want it and they are on a fixed income. So now what? Watch the video
In this South Park clip (from the episode titled Asspen) Stan, Kyle, and Butler's parents get roped into a timeshare presentation. Everyone thinks they are saved when the police arrive only to learn the police work for the timeshare company too! Time to start the timeshare presentation all over again. Watch the video here

Coca-Cola & American Idol Crowdsource Star's Next Song
Call Me Maybe songstress Carly Rae Jepsen has teamed up with the talent show and beverage giant.
Over the past decade and a half, with the advent and then explosion of reality TV and user generated content, companies and media outlets have realized that the best way to give an audience what they want is simply to ask them.
So it's unsurprising that Coca-Cola and American Idol are at it again.
American Idol, one of the premiere reality TV shows, has teamed up with Coca-Cola, an experienced veteran in corporate crowdsourcing, and pop star Carly Rae Jepsen, to create a fan-generated song.
In a unique collaboration called the 'Perfect Harmony' project, fans will have the opportunity to vote on lyrics for a new song that Jepsen is creating. Fans can connect with the project through Facebook, where they're given a chance each week, until the American Idol finale, to vote on lyrics for a song tentatively titled 'Take a Picture.' By casting their vote, fans are given access to exclusive video content, song clips, and are entered for the chance to win a trip to the American Idol finale or other Coca-Cola and American Idol prizes.
Jepsen is set to perform the new song during the American Idol finale, which is in May.
This is an interesting initiative for a couple of reasons. First, choosing Jepsen as the star talent, rather than a past American Idol contestant, speaks volumes about what 'Perfect Harmony' is attempting to achieve socially and digitally. It is likely that the social media and pop culture success of Jepsen's hit 'Call Me Maybe' last spring has Coke and American Idol executives hoping a similar result can be achieved through this new, crowdsourced song.
Second, the program was very smartly developed to have fans coming back every week, for the next month and a half, to vote on new aspects of the song and unlock new content. The continuous fan engagement makes it easier to develop a stronger relationship between brand and consumer.
And lastly, Coke and American Idol made certain to exert restraints on the creative development of the song to keep from losing control of the project, which can easily happen with crowdsourced material. Rather than asking for user generated lyric suggestions, fans can merely vote on content that has already been developed by Jepsen and approved by the program. Nonetheless, an interesting idea.
Check out the video below to see the options for this week's round of voting, and visit the 'Perfect Harmony' site to cast your vote – possibly helping write the next hit pop song.

Parents Nudge Their Children Back To (Summer) School
A slow but steady parade of parents checked their children into P.S. 261 Philip Livingston in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn on Monday morning. Some students were there to attend one of the summer camps taking place in the building while others signed in for the first day of summer school.
Kecia Maddocks brought her fourth-grade son, Sameik, to summer school for extra support after he failed the state math test. He attends P.S. 261 during the school year so she said coming to school was part of his normal routine.
"Getting him up is hard, but once he's up he's fine," she said. "He just likes coming to school."
Candice Williams Hall brought her twin daughters, rising first-graders, to a summer camp run by Good Shepherd Services taking place in the building.
"My interest is for them always not to be bored," she said. "It's a free program for us, which we need desperately for parents that are working full time."
A parent named Patricia, who declined to give her last name, appeared stressed after dropping off her son, who just finished the fifth grade. He needs to re-take a state English exam after failing it this spring.
"I feel like it's my fault," she said.
She dabbed sweat off her brow as she explained that her son had to attend summer school after the third and fourth grades as well, though he has always advanced to the next grade in the end.
She said that her son needed more focus in the classroom and at home. She has set new rules for the summer, including no television in the afternoon and use of her Kindle for reading only when she was sitting with him. Otherwise, he would play games, she said.
Another mom, Atiya Stroman, said her son, who just finished third-grade, must attend summer school after failing to pass the state English test. He has already repeated the third grade, she said. Despite these setbacks, she remained positive that he would be able to advance.
"Between me and his dad, we stay on his butt 101 percent," she said, and added, "He tries very hard. He's just hyperactive."
Stroman said she visited a teacher supply store in downtown Brooklyn in order to pick up workbooks for her son to use after school. She is also enrolling him in a football program in Bedford-Stuyvesant to keep him busy in the afternoons. He also likes to play chess, she said.
Stroman said she was also enrolling her older son, a rising eighth grader, in summer school even though his test scores were high enough to advance to the next grade. The extra schooling, she said, will help prepare him for the eighth grade and beyond.
"I've been drilling in them since they were in the womb: College. You're going to college."

The second event that led to the introduction of the Apple iPhone actually occurred a little less than two years before the Motorola handset was introduced. On November 10th 2001, Apple unveiled the very first Apple iPod. The first few months, the enhanced MP3 player could connect to iTunes only via a Mac. Priced at $399, the first iPod had a 128 x 160 "high-resolution display" and was packed with 5GB of storage. 1000 songs could be kept on the device. Phil Schiller, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing predicted that the device would be a hot seller for the holidays. During the fourth quarter of that year, Apple sold 125,000 units.
Two years later, 1 million iPods were shipped and that number soared to 4.4 million the very next year. By the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2005, Apple shipped 22.5 million units with another 39.4 million sold by the same point the following year. By the time the first Apple iPhone was sold, Apple had cumulative sales of the device that exceeded 100 million iPods and iTunes was a library with 5 million songs. The success of this product gave Apple the confidence to take on a more complicated mobile phone industry. The iPod helped Apple build mobile devices and cement relationships for parts, distribution and marketing of Cupertino's iconic smartphone. In other words, the iPod helped Apple learn how to create, manufacture and sell a mobile product.
We can't say that had there been no iPod, the iPhone would never had existed. Jobs' frustration with the ROKR E1 pretty much proves that. But without the success of the iPod, the iPhone might have been different. It almost certainly would have taken longer to develop. As it is, iPhone users can thank the iPod for its contribution to the development of a product that did change the mobile phone industry forever. Happy 12th Birthday, Apple iPod!

I am looking to sell my 1993 Volkswagen Fox.
I think this will be a good parts car or possibly a car to fix for someone that knows more about Foxes then I do. This is what I know is not working properly:
The ignition switch is bad or something with the wiring for the ignition system. I replaced the ignition switch and the car worked for a bit, then it stopped working. I drilled the small hole in the column and replaced the ignition but the car would not stay running, than wouldnt run at all. So next I looked at the wiring for the ignition and made a series of switches that I could use to get the car to turn over and stay running. That is how the car currently turns on.
The idle. Last time I drove the car (about a month ago) I turned it over with the switches and drove a round trip of about 10 miles. During this ride the idle seemed to drop out when I shifted down.. I had a lot of difficulty driving home because it seemed like it would shut off if I had to stop at a light. I dont know what this could be but I am not able to continue trying to get this car to stay on the road.
The Seatbelt. The drives side seatbelt is broken. If you have a fox you know that the car will not start without the seatbelt hooked in, so I cut the wires to the safety and tied them together.
The dash cluster works intermittently. Sometimes the speedometer stops working, most of the indicator lights go on and off seemingly for no reason. The tach seems to always work. The mileage on the cluster also is not accurate and this is not the original. The mileage that car reads now is over 150k I believe and the odometer doesnt always turn. The orginal had 57k about a year ago but I also saw that it did not always work. I would think that the car has about 70-75k on it but have no way of know exactly for sure.
The title. I could not find the title so I just got it reissued, PennDOT said 4 to 10 business days.. then title in hand.
Even with these issue I still think the car has some value, the only offer I got so far was 250 from a mechanic that scraps cars but I want to try to get more.. So I want to list the car at 500 or best over and hope to get what I can out of her.

Audiworld.com has run a report from the recent Mount Washington Hillclimb. The event has long been associated with Audi and quattros have been taking on the mountain for decades. Even more interesting this year is the more Mad Max looking 'Super Chicken' run this year by Vermont native Paul Tingaud. Running a tuned Audi 5-cylinder and not much else in regards to mass, Paul took home third overall. Read more about it

In 2001 my Dad began his first journey to India that would set in motion the journey towards establishing the Children's Home in Bhachau…
On January 26, 2001, a large earthquake, registering 7.9 on the Richter Scale, devastated the area of Gujarat, northwest India. Five year old Rukshana emerged from the rubble an orphan. Her mother had been killed a week before in an electrical accident; her father was crushed in the rubble of their house. A photo of Rukshana, with a bandage over one eye, featured in the March edition of World Vision's Impact magazine last year. Her image haunted many New Zealanders, among them Steve Wakerley of Christchurch… [Read On]
It has been a massive journey for my parents… as their three boys (me being one of them), left for parts uncharted (to Australia), they both have found that better late than never is the theme of the second half of their lives!
When I was growing up I remember conversations/discussion/prayers about Bali, which I imagined an exotic paradise filled with wild natives (any one who has grown up hearing about missionaries will know exactly what I mean). In some parallel universe it seemed I could have grown up a missionary kid, instead of playing left wing in my local Southbridge Rugby team in country New Zealand.
Now I may be completely off course and remember things through the filter of memory but Bali could have been an opportunity that never eventuated for whatever reason for us.
Now that their life has taken them to this incredibly challenging, frustrating, totally out-of-depth, but eternally significant experience I am in awe at their tenacity and faithfulness to the call of God in their lives.
They are making steady progress toward the finishing of a fantastic facility to eventually be used for::
- An orphanage for local children
- A free medical facility for those who can't afford any kind of health-care
- A vocational training centre.
The people that will benefit from this ministry will be the poorest of the poor – children and adults who haven't the means to bring up their children, eg. widows, orphans and the disabled.
So cialis generic pharmacy anyway, check out the site at: bhachau.org for more info.
As you may know I am holding a domain auction with the (however small or large) proceeds going directly to them, have look here.
I'm proud of you Mum and Dad!

Adult dental services won't be part of the basic benefit package offered though Vermont's Health Care Exchange in 2014.The Green Mountain Care Board came to that decision this week.The Board says it hopes to find a way to offer those services in the future. In the months after Tropical Storm Irene the state held listening sessions in dozens of Vermont communities to learn how to improve disaster response and recovery. This week, officials issued a summary of what they heard and a list of recommendations.
