"We thought, 'We're just going to take an image, and nothing's going to happen,'" said Link of the team's initial success in attaching fluorescent dye trailers to the nanocars. "We were worrying about how to build a temperature stage around it and how to heat it and how to make it move.
"To my surprise, my students came back and said, 'They moved!'"
Sure enough, time-lapsed films monitoring an area 10-by-10 microns square showed the cars, which appear as fluorescing dots, zigging and zagging on a standard glass slide. Link said the cars moved an average 4.1 nanometers (or two nanocar lengths) per second.
"It took us another year to quantify it," said Link, noting as key the development of a new tracking algorithm by Claytor that will be the subject of a future paper.
The simplest technique for finding moving nanocars was precisely the way astronomers find distant cosmic bodies: Look at a series of images, and the dots that move are winners. The ones that don't are either fluorescing molecules sitting by themselves or nanocars stuck in park.
The dye tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate had the added attraction of emitting a polarized signal. Since dye molecules tended to line up with the chassis, the researchers could always tell which way the cars were pointed.
Link hoped cars with dye embedded into the chassis can be built that would eliminate the drag created by the fluorescent trailer. He speculated that putting six wheels instead of four on a nanocar could also help keep it moving in one direction, much like a tank with treads.
"Now that we see movement, the challenge is to take it to the next level and make it go from point A to point B. That's not going to be easy." Creating nanot

Home Theater Projectors – Action at CES -Panasonic Projectors
January 11, 2011 - Art Feierman
Time to fill you in, re what I learned at CES about home theater projectors. As someone pointed out, the last blog mostly focused on pico projectors. (Hey, they may not be "home theater" but they are "portable" theater, and techically, with some pushing 300+ lumens, they are as bright as some of the home theater projectors we've reviewed (at least their best modes).
No, I'm not recommending trading in your Epson or Panasonic home theater projectorsor JVC or Sony projector, or any others, for a nice little pico, but remember, millions are expected to end up watching TV and movies, and internet, and who knows what else, on the 10s of millions of pico projectors expecting to be sold in the next 2-3 years.
The entire US home theater projector market is about 110,000 units a year – or less than 1% of LCDTV sales.
But, onto the home theater projectors: I'll start with Panasonic, and add a blog entry for each brand.
Panasonic – was one of my first meetings. I've been trying to get some straight answers from them since CEDIA. Are they staying in the market, are they exiting…? Remember, the PT-AX200U – (it's almost identical predecessor, the AX100U was the best selling home projector in its day – before 1080p dominated), is now end of life…
Not so, however, the PT-AE4000. Panasonic is still shipping those and they will be around almost certainly until the fall, when… ta-da…
Panasonic will introduce it's first 3D projector. Now, I'm not sure about the "fall" aspect, but darn sure you won't be seeing it this spring. From what little I learned, I'm figuring it will show at CEDIA, and ship shortly thereafter. But, you never know…
And yes, it will be 3D, and no, I don't know the price, and yes, I suspect it will be in the $5000 or up range, and no, I am not sure, I could be completely wrong, and it could be $1999, or $2999, but I would really, really be surprised, especially in light of the competition.
I expect it will appeal to 3D gamers as well as 3D movie fans, and those just wanting to enjoy high quality 3D content from various sources.
The other good news is that Panasonic does have a 2nd projector in the works, And folks, it was like pulling teeth. That is all I learned. I asked 50 questions, and got nothing more than "there will be a 2nd one" no idea when, or the price. I'm hoping sooner than the fall, but, considering how tight lipped, who knows. (So, I'd just not worry about Panasonic projector #2, since we have no clue as what or where, or how much, or why). (It could be a 720p, it could be an all-in-one – unlikely, it could be something unique and amazing, or mostly a retread of the PT-AE4000. I could speculate all day, but with nothing to go on, it's futile.
Next of interest would be Mitsubishi who again showed its 3D projector, but this time it worked better… (That was a very early engineering sample.) I know a lot more about the HC9000, than I do about new Panasonic home theater projectors. -art
News And Comments
Dave Kestler
Art, Was desperately trying to find out if Panasonic would offer a 3-D projector this year. At least now I know it's in the works. Thanks a million! Your the best!
http://www.projectorreviews.com/members/lisasonfeier/ Lisa Feierman
That was like pulling teeth to even get that admission… Glad to hear they aren't walking away… -art
What are you detailed comments about the HC9000 (e.g., 3-D demo; comparison to other 3-D Demos from JVC, Sharp, LG; brightness and sharpness in 3D, ghosting in 3-D, frame interpoliation in 2-D and 3-D, CMS, 240Hz update rate, release date, price). What other 3-D projectors in 2011.
http://www.projectorreviews.com/members/lisasonfeier/ Lisa Feierman
Hi Dennis – the HC9000 wasn't as ready for "prime time" as a lot of other 3D projectors at CES. Not surprising since it really didn't work at all at CEDIA (in 3D), whereas the other 3D projectors (Sony, JVC, etc.) were all shown at CEDIA fairly respectably. So the Mits is a little behind in development, but then the JVC's just started shipping and the Sony has been – the VW90ES. Demoing at shows is an exercise in futility. Rooms are all different, different content, unknowns about the other supporting gear. I trust only my observations under my controlled environment. That said, I don't think I've seen a JVC or Sony that can really fill a 100″ screen with sufficient brightness, unless you have a near perfect theater, and even then, by the time the lamp gets old… can you say DIM!!!
I'm screaming at the manufacturers – 2400 lumens minimum for 3D, and probably 3000 minimum for single chip DLP's using active glasses. Won't see any of that until next year, if then. They have to redesign their "boxes" to be quiet with much brighter – hotter – lamps inside. And so far LED light sources have not delivered the brightness needed… -art As to other 3D projectors – there will be more – but I'm looking to CEDIA next fall for "next gen" improvements… -a

Dear Mr. Feierman,
I'm writing to ask your advice. I own an Optoma HD81-LV which I'm having some problems with which will require me to send the unit back to the manufacturer (cost approx. $50 shipping and $110 diagnostics which can be applied to the repair…cost unknown). I'm guessing that I have 1/2 to 1/3 life left on the bulb because I've restricted use to watching only movies, at 2 to 3 per week with occasional special events like the New Years Parade, since the purchase Feb. 2008.
My dilemma is do I replace the Optima with a newer projector like the Epson 8700UB and spend approx. $2000 plus ISF calibration or repair the Optoma @ $160 plus parts and labor and eventual bulb replacement at $350. Since you did the original review of the Optoma and review the new projectors I was hoping you could provide your insight if the newer projectors out perform the first generation Optoma HD81-LV sufficiently to warrant upgrading to a newer model?
Since other home theater enthusiasts may be facing this same dilemma it might make for a needed and appreciated article in an upcoming issue of Home Theater.
Thank you very much for your help with this dilemma,
Alan Becker
http://www.projectorreviews.com/members/lisasonfeier/ Lisa Feierman
Greetings Alan,
Thanks for moving the comment here, where it can be shared.
OK, I was a fan of the HD81-LV – the original "light canon". A touch rough around the edges, but bright, and with that classic DLP look and feel (my best one aspect being particularly rich looking dark colors yet without being over the top…
I take it your LV was calibrated, since you are "budgeting" for a ISF cal of whatever's next. For the most part, with minimal effort on your part (you can calibrate contrast and brightness yourself, in a few minutes with no tools, just an image). Beyond that, projectors like the Epson with THX modes are consistently excellent as far as color balance. In almost every case we're really calibrating here (Mike) to the individual lamp, rather than the projector – the changes are slight. (BTW, 500 hours after your calibration, your lamp had shifted enough to be "off" as much, or even more than a THX mode… lamp changes over time are only curable with regular calibrations… That's for the rich, and those with the gear and knowledge.
Now, let's talk performance, the $$$ you have to sort out. The 81LV's blacks are if I recall, so so, by today's standards. very $999ish, and the iris action was a bit rough (I'm going totally from memory – I tend to really remember the flaws of the projectors I like the most. Color was more than capable after calibration! And a great, BRIGHT look and feel.
The Epson by comparison, will kick the LV's butt to the moon and back, on black levels, but not look quite as natural as the LV in skin tones, etc. This year's epson ub that we reviewed was in my opinion, the best Epson yet, in terms of natural feel something I always discuss. Historically Epson's strengths were elsewhere, not natural feel. oh, fine for 97%, but I run across old DLP owners, who have upgraded to LCD or LCoS and they miss both that, and in some cases, the pop and the wow factor. The LV is dripping with those, in part thanks to the lumen output. The Epson will only be able to, at best approach the LV in brightness, in its brightest mode, compared to the LV's best… so on the same sized screen you're going to be "wondering where the lumens went" if you are in THX, or one of the Theater modes… I just don't know…
But the Epson gives you more placement flexibilty and lamp that will last twice as long. And a fresh warranty. That LV… will get a warranty on what gets fixed… but not on the rest.
And – where are you – re – 3D? Interested, if so, waiting's not such a bad idea, so in that case, hope the LV repair is affordable. If you want to stick to DLP, same price range, consider that BenQ W6000 – also a touch rough around the edges, but a great projector to be watching… And so it goes… -art
http://N/A Alan Becker
Even comparing plasmas or LCDs is nearly impossible unless they have all been calibrated by the same person and in a room without lights to negate reflections. So projectors apparently even for a professional, like yourself, with the ability to sit and compare the projectors side by side, the decision still is very difficult, if not almost impossible. (BTW I don't believe the HD81-LV has an auto iris.) Originally I was impressed, when I purchased it, with it's sharpness, natural color and good blacks without crushing shadow image. As far as I'm concerned it will be a few years before I'd consider getting 3D because of the additional costs. (upgrading the DVDO, projector, A/V receiver and 20′ HDMI cable). After taking in your information I think I'll repair the Optoma. It seems like it is still competitive "if calibrated" with the current crop of projectors.
Thanks for taking the time to give me your feedback to make the best possible decision.
http://www.projectorreviews.com/members/lisasonfeier/ Lisa Feierman
Hi Alan,
OK, first, I believe it does have a 16 step auto iris, buried a in, or below the advanced menu. (I peeked at my old review). I mentioned that it is loud -it grinds a lot, but commented (for it's day) that the black levels were pretty good (even with the Auto Iris off, which somewhere in the review, I probably recommended (iris on manual) due to the loud iris noise when in Auto…
I generally concur with your decision to wait. (assuming they don't tell you it's $800 to repair the 81LV…)
One of the reasons all my writings are so long is I'm constantly trying to explain to everyone how every thing – ceiling color – wall colors, lighting, size of screen, distance to mount the screen (relative to brightness of the zoom lens, and even viewing cone issues with high power screens. My viewing rooms are both very good. But not necessarily what people have in their homes. Just the fact that both of my rooms have 8 foot ceilings, compared to say rooms with 11 foot ceilings could have a huge impact on the image if the respective ceilings were both bright paint. But mine are black and almost black ceilings… For my testing room, when completed in a few months I'll even be able to change two of the rooms walls from very dark to fairly bright rooms, by reversing some panels I'm having made. I'll be able to change from viewing a projector in a dedicated theater mode, to varying degrees of family room, in a couple of minutes.
http://N/A Alan Becker
I for one appreciate your efforts to create as many home environments to assess the performance of the various equipment you review. BTW my ISF calibrator Dave Abrams has the auto iris off. In my opinion that generation's auto irises tended to lag as well as add noise to the room. From what I've read the newer versions no longer have the lagging problems.
On thing I'd like to see is a continual ranking of equipment to help the enthusiast determine when the time and dollars are right to upgrade their equipment. The foundations are already in place with the shootouts and best in class reviews. Lets say I purchase the best in class 2010. How will that match up with the same best in class 2014. The same might be done for A/V receivers. Should I upgrade my Onkyo SR805 if I don't intend to go 3D. How about my Panasonic Viera TH-58PE75U plasma. Have the blacks etc. improved so much that this should be upgraded. Not to mention things like scalers (I have the DVDO VP50). Having a continual comparison/ranking will provide a lot of the information needed to help enthusiasts/buyers make these decisions. Maybe there could be a scoring system based on 1 to 100. The 2011 Panasonic hypothetically scores an 89 where the 2007 version was re-ranked at 85. Hypothetically it could have been a 91 in 2007 but in comparison with the 2011 it's re-ranked. In fact there could be 2 scores, one for performance w/o price consideration and the second with price consideration. The Pioneer Kuro's are a good example for that. They would be #1 based only on performance but #2 with price considerations. These rankings would help me decide when I should spend money on upgrading my system.
BTW a pet peeve is the amount of space given to reviewing speakers in the magazine. For me speakers are extremely subjective in being assessed. What one reviewer thinks is great may be average to another. Not to mention the way the end users room will affect the performance of the speakers. So even listening to them side by side at a retailers wont provide the final answer. I actually auditioned several speakers in my home before deciding on my McIntosh XRT28 towers etc.
Thanks for the opportunity to express my thoughts and once again for you taking the time to help my deciding on a course of action.
http://www.projectorreviews.com/members/lisasonfeier/ Lisa Feierman
Hi Alan,
Ahh, were it so easy. I tried to develop a dynamic system about 3 years ago. One that would automatically adjust the older projectors, as the bar raises… But it was a disaster.
The only way to really make it work is to have a very in depth scoring system, and keep everything updated.
Consider this, going back 3 years or so: Epson sells the home cinema 1080.. A year later, they bring out for the same price, the 1080UB. Brightness remains the same, color handling, and just about everything else, the same, but for the new panels, etc. which dramatically improve black level performance.
If the 1080 was ranked an 8.5 what does it drop to when the 1080UB comes out, the 6500UB, the 8500UB, and the 8700UB.. Are we still over 5?
How does price factor. Since the 1080 dropped a lot in price, does it get a higher score than it had before? And that's one epiphany type feature (contrast),
Epson increases average lamp life from 3000/4000 hours to 4000/4000 hours. Is that improvement worth 1/5 as much as a big black level improvement, or 3 times as much – depends on what you watch. For a sports only person the lamp improvement (at high power) is important, but the improvement on blacks while watching a game isn't likely to even be noticeable…
So by my take, the advent of ultra high contrast projectors as pioneered by Epson UB, JVC, and others, is huge… so any projector drastically inferior at blacks" to, say any Epson UB, has to take a huge hit due to the major tech improvement. IF YOU WATCH MOVIES.
IN other words the bar, changes at different speeds for different features, and for different uses. A major improvement for one person, is of no consequence or little, to another person.
ahh, You guys just want oversimplification… It's like shopping consumer reports… A great resource for people who otherwise don't do their homework before a purchase. But for those that like to, it's one resource, and when you're looking for the very best for you, it's guidance is often wrong or worthless.
(example -years ago CR said the old fiat X1/9 was officially Unacceptable, because it didn't have a shoulder harness. Which is fine in a general sense, unless you look closely.
Back then that mid-engined two seat sports car (which I owned), was one of only a few vehicles exempt from a shoulder harness. Maybe Consumer reports should have asked why.
Seems the design of the Fiat, included a roll bar strength roof (impressive on a targa, not a hard top). Fiat even ran commercials back then, of a fiat flipping over sideways several times down moderate hill, landing on its wheels and the driver getting out.. (that was pre-airbag days)..
There are almost no vehicles sold in the US that today, would fair as well in a roll over. On top of that, the X1/9 was a phenomenal handling car that could keep you out of accidents that other vehicles had no chance to avoid (shorter breaking distance back then, than any other car under that of an exotic, and better handling than a Porsche.
You really couldn't be much safer, in another car, (even with a shoulder harness) even though it didn't have a shoulder harness. Try rolling your SUV over 5 or 6 times. BTW, I think, in the commercial he drove the car, after the roll-overs, before he got out… Yeah, try that in your SUV with a shoulder harness and the 18 airbags, and you' probably still wouldn't fare any better. Point is, CR decided – no harness – unsafe vehicle. Yet, in similar situations today, they do not rate vehicles without the maximum airbags (front, rear, doors, and headrests, as unacceptable… Many years later I replaced (time in between) the X1/9 with a miata. I intentionally bought one with driver airbag, not passenger. Had to.
I didn't want my daughter to grow up and never have the experience of driving with me in a sports car (top down). Ya see, she was about 3 when I bought the miata… And due to airbag laws, it had become a crime to put any small child in the front seat of a car, without an airbag. She would have had to wait until High school before she was heavy enough to sit in the front seat (and there's no rear seat).
So, back to projectors. Sorry. It's not practical. It would mean nothing, it can't be done, without being sophisticated. The only way I could think to do it and make it work would require a dynamic system based on the "buyer" completing about 25 – 40 questions about room, screen, etc… what you watch, room lighting control in daytime vs night…
Over the years, I've tried to figure out a practical way, but All I have to do is look at 5 or 6 projectors, to see that it won't work.
A practical example. JVC RS60 vs. RS35. A direct replacement, the 60 is supposed to be about 40% brighter, but we find it to be dimmer.
So, if the RS35 (our top rated projector last year ($9995), is replaced by the RS60, which adds 3D, $2000 more to the price, but drops 20% in brightness.
Assuming the RS35 got a 92% score, what does the RS60 get, and what does that do to the RS35′s revised score.
For someone not interested in 3D, they would just have paid $2000 more for a dimmer projector with no real advantages (that the customer is interested in – 3d).
So, does the RS35 score go up for a non-3D interested person, but go down for someone wanting 3D? IN fact for someone wanting 3D, can any non-upgradable 2D projector worth rating more than a 75?
I use awards, and a lot of conjecture, perspective, and features/benefits based recommendations – which is to say, I recommend a lot of different projectors even though I have very few favorites.. I recommend what you need, not consumer reports needs, and as soon as you have every review getting 4 or 5 points (there's a problem right there)… point systems are just murky short cuts that rarely help.
True, if you saw two projectors one with a 4.5 out of 5, and the other with a 1.8 out of 5, the first one is probably a far better choice (probably), but, I seriously doubt either of us will live long enough to see anyone rate a projector on a 5 point scale and give out anything below 3 points (or 3.5)…
Speakers – I trust you are referring to speaker reviews in other magazines, since we dont do them… (I guess we are sort of an online magazine, though).
I disagree. I sold high end audio for years. Like projectors, any reviewer has to make subjective calls. Assuming that every buyer doesn't have the same requirements, desires, room and content. In projectors, is x% more brightness more important than a slightly sharper lens, or lacking lens shift, or… or…. or.
It's the same thing – with speakers – the room MATTERS (the acoustic properties, including size – not the paint color). As does the placement in the room. Where do you sit, how far can you keep the speakers from being up against the wall, or a corner… stands for the speakers (do they need them) Do you have a receiver or amp powerful enough to have the speakers sound really good… Dispersion – what does the sound stage look like – can you identify each instrument in a band not just left to right on the stage, but front to back and higher vs lower seating? If not, why not. It is definitely doable on the finest speakers.
Can you live without the last octave of base, the last 1.5 octaves… If you want to buy speakers the way many of my readers buy projectors, you simply need the write kind of reviews… While I haven't stayed on top of audiophilia (my speakers are now 35 years old, and it's a 44 year old design, and they still sound better (in most cases) than many $20,000 speakers today.) IMF RSPM (reference standard professional monitor) Mark IV. Designed by Irving M. Fried, best known for his initials on these speakers, and his designs when he later launched Fried speakers. as well as other Brit speakers he designed.
Well, there are magazines that do speaker reviews well, (or did). Check out The Absolute Sound (in the '70′s my primary reference source, and Stereophile. No doubt there are some great sites too… Anyway, those two used to write and rank audio gear, in the way I believe it should be done (especially Absolute Sound). course they could have changed everything, haven't picked up a copy of either in at least 5 years… (can find absolute sound at borders – or could before the started tanking, maybe they still have it.)
But more importantly once you leave the subjectives with speakers – caused by taste, placement, room… It starts getting really objective… like projectors – you can measure efficiency and frequency range, just like brightness and color gamut. But here's the secret.
A perfect home theater projector (assuming every other piece of equipment is perfect) will show you an image identical to having been there. Yeah, and in 3D, it means you wouldn't be able to tell your room from standing next to the cameraman…
With speakers – it's faithful production. There are Great speakers, and Great Rock spekaers, and GReat classical ones, and great jazz ones. But any one of those, that isn't equally good on jazz as classical as rock, as disco, as country, is flawed. A speaker great for one type of sound, usually means it was designed acoustically to meet that one market segment, or, the design is so flawed, that only certain types of music sound good. The almost perfect speaker should sound almost equally perfect regardless of the type of music you feed it.
So a good reviewer might say – that ZW speaker has some deep bass, but mid-bass is a bit soggy. vocals are a little distant, especially female vocals, and the high end just sizzles.
There, you've got a Rock speaker. If it was a great speaker, the mid-range would be a bit further forward, so that cymbols and such aren't overpowering vocals. And that mid-bass bump will help rock the house, but it's going to obsure some midrange detail, expect male vocal voices to lack definition for that reason… and so on…
etc… see, it's all the same.. it's how you do it…

Hi Art,
I had suggested two numerical rankings to allow for 2D and 3D. I would have the rankings done by a single individual unless there's a group that does side by side comparisons. Having the same reviewer do each ranking will remove the difference in preferences. When a projector is 2D and 3D it may have high ranking in one group or a lesser ranking in another. 3D should be compared to 3D until such time that the brightness of 3D is compatible with the 2D projectors.
You said: "Over the years, I have tried to figure out a practical way, but All I have to do is look at 5 or 6 projectors, to see that it won't work.
A practical example. JVC RS60 vs. RS35. A direct replacement, the 60 is supposed to be about 40% brighter, but we find it to be dimmer.
So, if the RS35 (our top rated projector last year ($9995), is replaced by the RS60, which adds 3D, $2000 more to the price, but drops 20% in brightness.
Assuming the RS35 got a 92% score, what does the RS60 get, and what does that do to the RS35′s revised score.
For someone not interested in 3D, they would just have paid $2000 more for a dimmer projector with no real advantages (that the customer is interested in – 3d).
So, does the RS35 score go up for a non-3D interested person, but go down for someone wanting 3D? IN fact for someone wanting 3D, can any non-upgradable 2D projector worth rating more than a 75?"
So the ranking should be this: The RS35 should be ranked with 2D projectors factoring price. The RS35 3D would be ranked with other 3D projectors also factoring in price. The RS60 should be ranked at whatever position it has earned.
It will be the buyers job to determine if he/she plans to upgrade to 3D at some point soon and therefore allow for the conversion in what he/she purchases. Those that only want 3D have a clear ranking and those that want 2D also have a clear ranking. The RS35 could be very low in one scale but very high in the other. There could be a column for comments. If there are many comments then the system could use @ # $ % & * + or numbers to represent the applicable comment while saving space.
For example it would have been helpful to me to know where the Optoma HD81-LV ranked compared to the Epson 8700UB or 9500UB especially in blacks and brightness. For example had the Optoma ranked 3RD but only marginally I'd probably wait to do the upgrade. But if one of the Epsom's were remarkably sharper, brighter and had longer projected bulb life I might switch. I believe this rating is possible because many functions can be technically measured allowing for comparisons.
BTW by watching only a movie (2-4) times per week and immediately shutting down the projector and watching special features on my Plasma TV. The drop off of brightness seemed almost negligible

The staff at Shannon Michael Salon, a Paul Mitchell Focus Salon, are not ones to learn through trial and error. Rather, they go through purposeful monthly training to stay apace of the latest trends and techniques. Haircuts and coloring from pro- and master-level stylists testify to the success of their mission, with results both elegant and cutting edge. The staff also deliver elaborate nail services, such as hot-stone manicures and peppermint foot masks with warm towels and hand and foot massages.
The stylists and aestheticians at Bella Bronze Hair Salon and Tanning Studios strive to create a friendly, upbeat environment for clients who drop in for transformative beauty jaunts. Hair gets a time-out as stylists deftly cut or color it, drawing on their continuing education in the latest techniques as they transform coiffures to clients' specifications. A nail technician stains talons with salon-caliber acrylics or OPI gels and other services to keep hands looking their best. The salon's facials and peels rejuvenate all types of skin, which can also darken to a sun-kissed bronze in onsite tanning beds from brands such as Ergoline and Wolff. The SolarForce booth lets guests stay upright while gilding, and VersaSpa spray tanning evades both UV rays and beaches' suit-snatching tidal waves while turning limbs a glowing copper.
The stylists and cosmetologists at Studio CEO travel the country attending seminars and trade shows to stay on top of industry trends, a practice that helped the studio to earn nominations for best hair salon and hair color on Fox 8's Hot List. The studio arms its staff with products from top brands, as stylists transform 'dos with Goldwell hair color, and techs spruce up paws with OPI's UV-cured Shellac and Axxium gel keratin covers. The salon and spa also carries hair-centric brands ranging from Moroccanoil and Bumble and bumble to Keratin Complex by Coppola, so that clients don't have to maintain shiny locks by sticking their heads under automatic shoe buffers.
At Beauty Oasis, clients are guaranteed to be the center of attention. That's because the cozy salon is designed to service just one guest at a time. So there's no crowded salon to worry about or magazines to pretend to read. When clients arrive, stylist Kathy Alali is ready to pamper them with haircare and skincare services. Nonetheless, the salon still offers complimentary WiFi, coffee, and tea.

AT&T to launch BlackBerry Z10 on March 22nd for $199.99 on contract
T-Mobile has started selling the all-touch BlackBerry Z10 today to its business customers only, for $249.99 with a signed two-year pact. No date for consumer sales has been announced by the nation's fourth largest carrier. Verizon will offer the Z10 at the end of this month and has already said that it will charge $199.99 with a signed two-year contract. Sprint is skipping the BlackBerry Z10, but does plan on offering the BlackBerry Q10 with its physical QWERTY keyboard.
Along with the BlackBerry Z10 handset, AT&T is also offering the new Blackberry Enterprise Service (BES) 10, which provides security and mobile management features for both business and government customers.

Hmmm its quickly overpriced but fear not it'll be Free two months from now due to lack of sales ;)

$200 and a contract for a phone with a 4.1'' screen and last year's specs? Hell no, I'll pass.

Now why can't tmobile price this @ 199.00$?
4. Gdrye (Posts: 109; Member since: 02 Jan 2012)
that was only a business price...Usually they pay higher prices for phones
11. archangel9 (Posts: 231; Member since: 07 Feb 2010)
only 249 for business consumers only.I'm sure it'll be @ 199.99
5. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
overpriced, it should be 99.99
7. Ruckus (Posts: 276; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Yeah I really don't understand their price tag?? Its not the newest technology. If the GS3, the Lumia 920 and the Optimus G are $99.99 then there's no way the BB z10 should be more than that. Especially as low as the manufacturing prices were..
RIM this price tag isn't going to help your cause.
15. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1009; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
I agree as well. Whats so new about the Z10 that we havent seen from Apple, Samsung, or HTC?? Makes no sense for the Z10 to be $200. I dont see this phone becoming a big seller in the eyes of the consumers

As I said, bb ia a little bit greedy..
6. N-fanboy (Posts: 538; Member since: 12 Jan 2013)
First of all who would buy this for 200$ when they can get the Lumia920 for 50-100$? And if you say BB fans, ..i think BB fans want the Q10 more than this because of the QWERTY keybord...

14. 7ceez (Posts: 26; Member since: 08 Sep 2011)
Man I totally agree with everyone so far, this thing is way over priced...are they trying to get customers back? Seems more like they're acting like everyone still thinks blackberry is the only "IT" device to have out there or something...crazy..
16. TheMan (Posts: 424; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
It's higher than I expected. If I were to rationalize why:
1. BB's core segment should be business customers (note: I'm not referring to end-users here), which as a group are less price sensitive than consumers. Discounting can always be done for larger purchasers It's easier to drop price then increase it.;
2.. Also, BB may just be noncompetitive from a manufacturing standpoint, so its pricing needs to be higher.
It's also possible that they view themselves as a substitute for other premium handsets. Until the last year or so, then-RIM tended to have premium pricing despite so-so hardware specs. The brand did have value for some (not me).
We'll let the market decide that last point.

Dead On Arrival
18. nikenturd (unregistered)
The Z10 is now just a mid range phone with a crap eco system. .. $199? I mean seriously? If you have an unproven track record in the touchscreen smartphone business you have absolutely no right to put a premium price tag on that one.

Microsoft launched flagships at the 99$ price point and has been struggling to gain traction. Now blackberry thinks they can launch a whole new OS on a completely new style of phone that doesn't have the classic keyboard that many of the loyalists held onto....I don't know what they're thinking but RIM is really messing up here. This should have been 99$ max.
25. Ruckus (Posts: 276; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
If your talking about the Lumia 900/920 then your wrong about it failing. Its certainly not selling like the GS3 or iPhone 5 is, however for being still a fairly fresh product its gaining ground. Its on the rise and will continue to do so. Meanwhile RIM is falling fast.

Electronic music is like any other of genre of music in that the artists who stick around for decades tend to be the most innovative, the ones who constantly experiment and evolve as artists. Patrik Skoog is one such example; he's created hard techno under his Headroom project, made a name for himself as Patrik Skoog, and, since 2005 has adopted a new persona: Agaric, who takes a deeper, slower approach to the classic techno sound. Skoog has turned out more than 100 vinyl releases, and his tunes are clean and energizing; he takes his crowds meandering on a dance-floor journey that's gained the attention of such heavyweights as Richie Hawtin, Magda, Seth Troxler, Josh Wink and many more. He'll fly in from Berlin on Friday, May 11, to perform with Live Dudes (aka John Templeton and the Missing Link in their new act's debut), E2D2 (aka Tess and Deciprocal), Roger That, John Tyler and MikeRobot at a to-be-announced venue; keep tabs at Facebook.com/crowdpleasertechno.

The Chicago Cubs spring training stadium is a nice addition to Mesa.
Fireworks. Love fireworks.
However, after 10 p.m. on a Monday night with school/work in the morning — not so much. It scared the family (it sounds like gun shots when you're sleeping), woke up the grandkids, got the dogs barking, and kept us up until the kids got back to sleep. They can celebrate all they want, but a quieter way would have been much more courteous.
In addition, they block off streets in my neighborhood early in the day so I have to go out of my way to get to work. I'm sure they think they're special, and that's how sports are. But they are part of a community that includes families and could show a bit more respect.

text: Rosberg: Pole position will be very important in the battle with Lewis 5 May, 2014 Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg is fired up and talking the talk ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix weekend in Barcelona The German, although still leading the drivers' world championship by a few points, has seen his teammate Lewis Hamilton win the last three races on the trot. But far from expecting to fall in line behind the Briton when the battle resumes in Barcelona, Rosberg told German television RTL his plan for Spain is "full attack". "To know I have the fastest car to drive is so inspiring," said the 28-year-old. Rosberg said that the goal for Barcelona is not to hold Hamilton off but to "extend the championship lead", which will almost certainly require him to beat his on-form teammate on the track. He won in Australia when Hamilton retired, but in Malaysia, Bahrain and China, Rosberg saw the other Silver Arrows with the upper hand. Bahrain, however, was a true and rare wheel-to-wheel battle, with Rosberg claiming that when all was well with the two Brackley-built cars in 2014, the Mercedes pecking order is undecided. "I was better in the dry, him in the rain," said Rosberg. Hamilton has also hogged the qualifying limelight so far this year, but last year at the Circuit de Catalunya, it was Rosberg on pole ahead of the 2008 world champion. Now, "pole position will be very important for the battle with Lewis" this weekend, said a feisty Rosberg ahead of the 2014 Spanish race. Hamilton and Rosberg's relationship dates right back to their boyhoods, but suddenly the prize is the biggest in the entire world of motor sport – the Formula 1 title. Rosberg admits that is making their personal relationship a bit harder than in the past. "But luckily we have experienced it all before, even right back to karting," he said. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

About the ManufacturerThe beauty of efficiency. In the years leading up to the foundation of Luceplan, Riccardo Sarfatti consolidated his instinctive entrepreneurial flair while working first with his father at Arteluce, the historic firm founded by Gino Sarfatter at the end of World War II, and later with Flos, the prestigious Brescia-based company that took over arteluce in the early 1970s.
In 1978 Paolo Rizzato, Riccardo Sarfatti and Sandra Severi, who had been together at the Politecnico University in Milan, founded Luceplan, concentrating initially on the design and making of prestige interior lighting. Luceplan specialized in projects for particularly challenging and high quality situations and locations, including numerous historic buildings.
Luceplan continued to forge ahead by insisting on a clear idea of a business in which design is not "styling", that is to say not "added design", but rather the outcome of a continuous and coordinated exchange of different company functions. In the projects which Luceplan puts into production, there is a constant search for artistic simplicity as the solution to complexity.
Luceplan lighting immediately conveys a sense that they are the product of inspired, incessant research. Impervious to the dictates of fashion, these artistic strokes nevertheless reflect contemporary trends and elements. Luceplan is dedicated to promoting experimentation, innovation and technology, improved performance standards, inventiveness and beauty.
OUR SKU # LCP119813.8" Miranda Lamp Shade is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 1D600V/01502

Green Star - Communities
It's almost here! After four years in the making, 38 sponsors and supporters, 135 members of technical working groups and committees, and 35 credits refined down from 85, the Green Star – Communities rating tool is almost ready for release.
According to the GBCA's Manager Sustainable Communities, Adam Beck, Green Star - Communities is one of the world's first independent, transparent, national schemes able to assess and certify the sustainability of community-level projects.
"Green Star – Communities assesses environmental concerns within communities – such as minimising energy and water consumption, and reducing dependence on motor vehicles – alongside broader holistic sustainability issues, such as economic prosperity, liveability and community diversity," Adam says.
The Green Star – Communities rating tool will benchmark developments at a community scale by assessing them against six categories: liveability; economic prosperity; environment; community design; governance; and innovation.
To be eligible for a rating, a minimum number of points will be mandatory in each category, which Adam says will ensure projects are pushed beyond focusing solely on environmental impacts. "It's not just about how much carbon or water your community development is saving," he says.
"As just one example, the PILOT tool includes seven liveability and seven economic credits that will sit alongside 12 environmental credits. So, not only will project teams need to demonstrate world-class urban design practices, but also demonstrate how their project is committed to corporate social responsibility, how it invests in community facilities and incentivises sustainable lifestyles."
With some of Australia's largest greenfield and urban infill projects lining up to pilot the rating tool, and the list of project partners and sponsors growing daily, Adam says Green Star - Communities is set to be a 'game changer'.
More information about the launch of Green Star – Communities will be available soon. In the meantime, visit our website to download a business case.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Bolivar Hotel
Great place, location, stafffrom syrus16
quiet, clean, charming!from TSD
Our family of four was in room 103, which had quaint painted ceilings, nice beds, a great bathroom. A little cramped for four, but we were told to expect as much in Europe. The staff was very nice and as helpful as possible, with their heavily accented English. The hotel was adequately air-conditioned, too, thank goodness.
Best of all: the location! You're within 5 minutes' walk of the Trevi Fountain, the Roman Forum, and the Trajan Column and ancient marketplace. A few minutes' more, and you're at the Colosseum. Also within walking distance to some good shopping areas.
For what it's worth, we heard a couple of "couples" complain about their rooms (size, cleanliness). This may be a better spot for families.
great locationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Not a picky traveler, but this was awful!from A TripAdvisor Member
Some 5 hours later, we return to the hotel to find that our bags have now been placed in Room 212---the nastiest of nasty rooms I have ever seen. And people---I have been to luxury hotels and hostels and everything in between, but this was FOUL. Smoke damage on the walls, tiny tiny tiny room with a grody bathroom and the place just seemed dirty.
My friend Kristin & I went down to the front desk to figure out what the deal was. The man there, Santino, explained that there was a water problem in 103---no hot water---and they just "thought" that we would "prefer" to have hot water, so they put us in 212 without our consent. (Ummm...yeah...most hotel rooms in Europe have hot water problems anyway---this was not an issue for us!)
Oh were we pissed when we found out that because we weren't there at the time---a person that was originally given Room 212 didn't like it (wonder why!) and wanted to change---our Room 103 was given away! We were forced to go to Room 212, and there were no other rooms available. Santino was very rude and quite a jerk, despite my sweet nature & diplomacy (I used all of the Italian I have ever learned and made SURE to not be an "obnoxious American").
Oh the stress of that situation...not to mention the MOOLA DOWN THE DRAIN! So sad...it put a damper on our visit to Rome, though we tried our ------- not to let it.
So, long story short, don't go there...if you can afford to spend a little more, go stay at Hotel Forum. You will be much happier!
Nice Hotelfrom penray97
Although the main street if very busy and noisy, the hotel if in a small courtyard just off the main street and you hardly hear the traffic.
The rooms are very clean, nicely decorated except you only get 1 pillow on the bed so ask for more - they are very thin. Excellent value for money - we only paid 150 euros per night. Staff are friendly and will book anyb tours you ask for.
Horriblefrom Maria12
Great stayfrom A TripAdvisor Member
What a locationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The noise is also a issue. We were woke up by our neighbors noisly having sex in the next room. The breakfast was okay. The coffee was not even half as good as what we recieve at the other hotels we stayed at in Italy but the rest of the food was fine. The breakfast room was beautiful with good views. The staff was very helpful and kind. I would stay here again as long as I was with a smaller group or get more rooms because that was my real only conplaint.
Very convenientfrom PlanoRick
We had a quad room for a family of 4 (room 219)...it was the largest room we had out of 3 cities on our trip. It was beautiful with plenty of space for us. We had a large bed (really 2 twins) and then 2 separate twin beds...all were very comfortable. The shower was large; the soaps and shampoos that were provided were of excellent quantity and quality.
The breakfast room is a bright, cheerful rooftop room. The breakfast was the best we had at any of our 3 stays. We were able to have enough food to keep us going through much of the day from our breakfast.
Although the Hotel Bolivar was a little "pricey" for our usual budget, it was well worth it because of its location, its ample breakfast, and the comforts it gave us.
We will definitely stay there again!
Excellent location, decent placefrom A TripAdvisor Member
As for the hotel itself it is fine as a place to stay. Not luxury but fine as a place to keep stuff and sleep. I had a single - small room, smallest shower I'd ever seen but water pressure and temp were good. My room was quiet, although you hear people in the hall. Staff was fine but really all I did with them was check in and check out. Tiny TV, no remote in my room, but for a small room you sit close anyway. Only english stations were BBC and CNN.
Breakfast was bread, cereal, coffee, yogurt, hard boiled eggs. Nothing special but good enough to start with. Some days I was so busy I didn't get to lunch, so that was handy.
Bottom Line: I would stay here again assuming I didn't have the budget for something luxurious.
Top Local Tips for Rome
Girls alone! As in every city, pick pockets are everywhere. When we were there one of the girl's handbag was stolen, while out sight seeing. Also watch out for girls walking alone at night - the roman men tend to whistle and hoot car horns as they pass.
for a good drink just as you go out of the bolivar, go to the right and down the steps and you will see a pub on your left, the name of which escapes me. we went there on the saturday night after our meal, it is an absolute NIGHTMARE trying to find somewhere in Rome to just have a drink later on, its all restaurants! Anyway this was just a bar, but it was fab. i ordered an amaretto and i got a measure that could knock a horse unconscious for pennies. plus areally good band was on. lots of italians in there but didnt seem bothered by us english.
Pre book taxi via hotel On arrival at Rome central station we jumped into a licenced cab as the guide book explain. With that we were charged 28 euros for what I found out at the hotel was a journey worth only 10euros. Don't trust the taxi drivers no matter how nice they seem. Always pre book you cab via the hotel.

I draped the gossamer from the vents on the ceiling. It is light weight yet very strong and doesnt wrinkle so it could be really useful for almost anything! I discovered this product because I was decorating for a medieval party on a very tight budget and I was planning on covering the whole ceiling with it but ran out of time. I only used a small amount of it which you can kind of see in the attached pictures.

The chairs at the venue have green stenciled letters on the backs so we needed something dark & thick enough to conceal the letters. The black on the Hollywood gossamer was very dark & worked perfectly, but that is not our theme so I ordered the enough solid black based on the performance of my sample to cover 308 chairs. I was very happy with my ordering experience, but so disappointed when I tried the solid black on the chair. It was so sheer that you can barely tell the color & it definitely will not hide the ugly stencil lettering on the chairs. We will have to double the gossamer & only cover the top back of the chair versus the whole chair like we intended to do. Very versatile product that is easy to work with & easy to sew on sewing machine, but, sadly, not thick enough for our purpose. Also, tape does not stick to it very well.

Best Uses
My school hosts an auction every year in our gymnasium and I always purchase my gossamer for our event. It is always the best price and great quality!
Best Uses
I will be using the fabric for a stage backdrop. Also I have a number of tables, large and small, that will need covers. This is the perfect fabric for the occasion.
Best Uses
First off let me say that I wish I had know about this material a long time ago. I could have used this in so many cool ways. I love, love, love gossamer. It was super easy to use, and it added just the right amount of color. We made bows, swags, window covers, and so much more with it. The excellent value can't be beat. I bought a hundred yards and it went a long way.

we used it for our school prom and everyone loved it
Best Uses
I use the black 19" gossamer a lot as a table runner on 5ft round tables. It is the perfect size and disposable after the event. Easy to roll out and trim. The only complaint I have is that the black gossamer usually comes in a little thinner than the other colors. Wish it was a little darker with more texture. The black looks good with any other color as an accent. Especially with solid black napkins. I have cut this in half using a rotary cutter on a cutting board to use on the 8ft banquet tables - it's the perfect size at 9.5" wide. And very economical.

I recently chaired a high school prom with another mom who decorates for lots of galas. She had left over gossamer from another event but not enough. When the new gossamer arrived we noticed how much more sturdy it was compared to the other she had. It didn't shred, it was thicker, sturdy and easy to use. We stapled it around a wood column covered in lights and it never tore or came undone with handling and moving. A great product.

Made the prom perfect
Best Uses
Used this as part of the decorations for a school fundraising event. Used three different colors to covered up the white walls of the facility. Hung white Christmas lights down each line from top railing to the floor, very festive for little cost. HINT: Use straight pins or staples instead of tape to hold the fabric in place!
Best Uses
We used this as a draping item to create a wall or barrier at prom. Worked well!
