You know those old, ancient phones that managers of baseball teams use to call down to the bullpen whenever they think a pitching change is necessary? It seems that those could soon be a thing of the past.
Earlier this week at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, T-Mobile introduced some technology that will change the way managers call their bullpens during a baseball game. T-Mobile recently signed a deal with Major League Baseball to do away with the landline dugout phone and replace it with a wireless cell phone. In the upcoming season, T-Mobile will install specialized wireless systems in select major league dugouts. While nothing groundbreaking, the partnership is pretty cool.
The phones, which will be the Samsung Galaxy S3, will be docked in a docking station in both the home and visitors dugout. Once a manager picks up one of the phones from the docking station, it automatically calls the bullpen. The bullpen coach can then answer the call with a simple swipe. The phones can only be used to call from the dugout to the bullpen, which means the backup catcher won�t be able to play Angry Birds or talk unlimitedly with T-Mobile cell phone plans while waiting to finally pinch hit.
In addition to the geofencing, there will also be a dedicated tower so the phones can only communicate with each other. That�s in place so angry fans can�t text their manager requesting to pull the starter. The dedicated cell tower is also in place so the phones always have service. If you�ve ever been to a sporting event and tried to use a cell phone, you know how hard it is. Thousands and thousands of people all trying to use their phones jams the tower. It would be unfortunate if a manager tried to call the bullpen coach, only to be met with a �your call cannot be completed as dialed� message.
In addition to the partnership, T-Mobile has stated that they intend to improve cell service inside Major League Baseball parks.
The MLB stated that they intend to use this technology first for the World Baseball Classic in March, and if everything is successful the phones will be in dugouts by April. If this is the first step to bring more advanced technology to baseball, it�s an interesting one. If nothing else, the T-Mobile sponsorship is great for the wireless carrier, as it is a great branding of an iconic peace of sports. It remains to be seen whether or not Bruce Bochy will Instagram a picture of the World Series trophy.

If "Lock, Stock, and Barrel" was ever remade, THIS would replace Harry's dildo of death.
I can't help but imagine how gross this would look after a few months of use.
Kinda reminds me of dim sum rice rolls, the slimy and awesome tasting ones.
Great advanced chopstick practice too!

km : Matchup
words: Bryan Joslin
12 April 2010
We keep hearing that regardless of the winner, the age-old BMW/Audi rivalry is closer than it has ever been. Case in point: the 335i xDrive and the S4 for 2010, both packing force-fed six-cylinders and all-wheel-drive into well-appointed, unassuming ensembles for around fifty grand. Five years ago if we had done a comparo involving the S4, we would have certainly put it up against BMW's M3. Problem was, even with a V8 and all-wheel-drive, the old S4 fell short in the thrills department. When BMW introduced the twin-turbo 335i, however, the S4 suddenly had a more sensible counterpart than the balls-to-the-wall M3, especially when buyers checked the xDrive option box. To get a better sense of just how close these two cars now are, we paired them up for a late-winter drive near Starved Rock State Park in north-central Illinois.
Before you get all worked up, we're well aware that what you see before you is an S4 sedan going up against a 335i coupe, and that a proper comparison would involve replacing one of these with either a 335i sedan or Audi's S5 coupe. Since the S5 still packs a naturally aspirated V8, we insisted on placing the supercharged V6-powered Audi against the venerable Bimmer.
Unfortunately, the only xDrive-equipped 335i we could arrange for the same time happened to be a coupe. Fear not — the coupe and sedan share the same 108.7-inch wheelbase; their overall dimensions are very similar and the coupe weighs in just 55 pounds lighter than the sedan. Besides, the cars were both on winter tires and we weren't throwing instruments on them for all-out performance numbers. In short, our comparison of the 335i coupe to the S4 sedan is valid. You should instead join us in being upset that Mother Nature wasn't in the mood to throw us some late-season snow to slide around in.
Audis have always been known for being a bit nose-heavy, and indeed that trait has always detracted from the S4's appeal. For the fourth generation of the A4 range (eighth if you count its 80/90 models that came before), the car got an updated chassis that shifted the engine rearward for better balance. In addition to this major architectural change, the S4 also offers adjustable suspension and a torque-vectoring rear differential to aid handling, delivering on the promise of a more serious driver's machine; in the name of keeping cost and equipment comparable for this comparison, our test car featured neither bit of tech-trickery.
Without the heft and forward-most pair of cylinders from the outgoing V8, the Audi's new supercharged V6 offers some advantages over its predecessor without even talking about power. Luckily, it's better in that department too, with almost equal power (333 hp versus the V8's 340) plus greatly improved torque (325 lb-ft versus 302.) The new powerplant is a real winner, with incredible response, a box-shaped torque curve, and greatly improved NVH over Audi's naturally-aspirated six. That's fortunate, because there's a part of us that misses the rolling thunder of the V8's exhaust. The V6 has a decent rumble, but we have to give the edge to the energetic vibrato of BMW's straight six.
Paired to our tester's supercharged six was more modern technology in the form of Audi's new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It's one of the finest of its kind, making telepathic shifts and letting out manly burps from the exhaust between full-throttle upshifts. In normal drive mode, it's a relaxing transmission that spins low, efficient rpms at highway speeds. In sport mode, it does a fine job of choosing the most athletic gear for the situation, and in manual mode, shift paddles allow a decent level of driver involvement. In all modes, it's one of the least jerky dual-clutch boxes out there. BMW will be playing catch-up by moving its seven-speed down from the M3 with the introduction of the 335is this spring, and we're excited to see how that transmission gets along with a six-cylinder.
In terms of ride comfort, the Audi has a definite edge over the 335i, being both quieter and more composed at high speeds. The S4's seats are also more comfortable for the long haul, although both of these cars have some of the finest thrones in the business. Each company's multimedia interface has its own following of loyalists and enemies, so we'll leave that subject be.
The S4 falls behind the 335i, in our eyes, in two aspects. The Audi's brakes have great stopping power, but the pedal is difficult to modulate smoothly — it'll sink a bit without anything happening, and there's a very short range before the pads bite hard. It makes matters worse that BMW engineers some of the most linear brakes in the world.
Additionally, while Audi's ironed a lot of its stereotypical wrinkles out of the S4, the steering is still overboosted and feels artificial. The optional Drive Select system changes the steering weight among other traits, but it costs $3950 and even on the sport setting, our past experiences have proven that even the heavier steering still feels disconnected.
We aren't afraid, however, to call this S4 the best handling Audi sedan ever. The early understeer of past generations is gone, as is the initial floatiness of the suspension. The 2010 S4 is an absolute bullet through what might be northern Illinois' only interesting driving road, Route 71 through the park. It doesn't leave the 335i xDrive in the dust, each car clawing forward with all four feet, but the BMW can't escape it, either. It's a head-to-head grudge match for the ages.
Yes, the BMW still trumps the Audi in a few regards that will be important to true driving enthusiasts and weekend track-day junkies, but the Audi is finally a truly competent, decently efficient performance machine that can make Joe Average feel like a hero, while also delivering the comfort and convenience that's valuable to any driver.
Meanwhile, as Audi beats its quattro drum rather proudly, BMW quietly sells nearly as many all-wheel-drive vehicles, much to the surprise of most people. BMW's first all-wheel-drive system arrived in 1987 with the 325iX, just three years after Audi introduced the world to the idea of such a system on a premium car. The current hardware is far more advanced than that first torque-sensing system, using electronics to determine wheel slip and reapportion power accordingly.
Given that its entire model range is based on rear-drive architecture, BMW's all-wheel-drivers feature a more neutral bias than the front-drive-based Audis. This is obvious within the first mile of driving the 335i xDrive. The setup pairs well with BMW's current line of engines, particularly the 300-hp, 300-lb-ft twin-turbo six that sits under the hood of the 335i. As we've already stated, this combination can be had as a coupe or a sedan, with a choice of six-speed transmissions, one manual and one automatic.
The torquey twin-turbo delivers soulful performance, getting the 3759-pound coupe to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds by the company's own account, at least a tenth of a second quicker than the rear-drive 335i, which has issues connecting the power to the asphalt effectively. The engine makes great noises in the process, with a deep grunt that masks any hint of turbo whine as it makes its way to the two rear pipes that poke out through the bumper. The six-speed manual seems like a natural companion, offering a more engaging experience than the otherwise brilliant automatic.
Our coupe was equipped with BMW's ubiquitous Sport Package, adding 17-inch wheels and sport seats, as well as blacked-out window trim. Eliminate our Audi test car's optional navigation system and the dual-clutch seven-speed, and our two cars are priced right on top of one another, at just north of $49,000 nicely equipped.
On a rear-drive 3er, the sport package would also get you a lower, stiffer suspension, but not so on the xDrive. Nevertheless, the chassis is endowed with a decidedly sporty attitude, firmer than the S4's. Balance, as with most BMWs, is key to the sense of satisfaction the car delivers. Its engine sits well within the boundaries of the wheelbase for optimal weight distribution; steering effort is noticeably firmer than the Audi's at low speeds, but it's perfect under way, sending reliable data directly to the three-spoke wheel in the driver's hands. The substantial power offered by the smooth, supremely balanced six-cylinder is countered by strong, responsive brakes.
The most undeniable fact of driving the 335i xDrive is this: it feels exactly like a regular 335i. There's no tendency to push through fast corners, and there is a complete absence of the annoying differential binding that tarnishes low-speed maneuvering in the Audi. The rear end feels nearly as lively as any rear-drive 3, except that it continues to stick at higher limits, due to the fact that all of that 300-lb-ft of torque is being split in four directions instead of two. Divvying up the twist makes for a quick little car, but it severely limits the car's ability to wag its tail except when traction is at its absolute worst.
The Audi's cabin has the upper hand in interior refinement, though the 335i's cockpit is a bit more business-like in its starkness. Equipped with wood trim and light-colored leather, the 335i is more of a luxury coupe than a backwoods rally machine, which is one of the reasons it compares so well against the mild-mannered but exceptionally capable S4.
And that brings us back the whole point of both of these cars. While a turbo engine and all-wheel-drive are usually the Holy Grail to performance enthusiasts, these two cars have evolved far beyond the WRX mentality. In 2010 the 335i xDrive and the S4 represent a have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too solution to real-world drivers who want the comforts of a luxury car, the driving excitement of a sport sedan and the assurance of all-wheel-drive all in one package. The winner here? Anyone with those needs and $50K to spend.

In the Reptile House S.A.F. Records
Yip-Yip achieves a level of geekdom so uncomfortable it couldn't be more jarring if they were hanging from door-hook wedgies with brown-stained Lord of the Rings-themed Hanes stretching nearly to the tiles. And yet they steadfastly rock it with such intrepid abandon, they may just be the coolest Casio-infused electronic noise band I've ever heard. Whatever that means, but still.
In the Reptile House is the soundtrack to your favorite '80s video game remixed for a house party. Using Casios, Micromoogs, Novation K-Stations and other similarly outdated synth weapons, and typically dressed in concert as giant goggle-wearing checkerboards (think hazmat suits from a Terry Gilliam flick), they rip through a lo-fi sonic flashback that would have Soft Cell wiping tears of jealousy from their mascara-lined eyes. In the Reptile House is like the promise of that favorite video game's elusive next level: you can't help but keep listening, transfixed by the weirdness each subsequent instrumental track offers. And I swear by the end there's brilliance here, whether it's mocking or in celebration of the electronic genre. (Skylar Browning)
Yip-Yip plays The Loft Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 10 PM. Eyes Like Candy and The Sherlocks open. $5.
Eyes Like Candy
Some of My Brain is a Monster
Copoc Rock
Paul Copoc has apparently got some ya-yas he's not getting out with Two Year Touqe and Helmet Tag, the two local bands he's written albums for in the last two years. You can tell because his latest, under the new moniker Eyes Like Candy, takes a completely different tack than either of those sugary pop inventions. Some of My Brain is a Monster is at once glitchy and gritty, a series of pedal-strained grunge guitar licks slicing like an oil tanker through seas of mostly melodic electronic textures.
There's rawness aplenty in the frantic guitar rock and neon tracer digital effects. The lack of polish sounds a bit like it feels to faithfully read a blog, often wishing that its author had taken a bit more time before punching the post button. In other words, there's enough invention on Some of My Brain is a Monster to merit a listen, but also enough aimlessness to make plain the virtues of soliciting an editor's or producer's input.
Still, the album bears fruit worth tasting. And, hopefully, for a musician working from a distinctly different musical recipe than usual, it merits the attention necessary to integrate this experiment with the rest of his work. (Jason Wiener)
Eyes Like Candy opens for Yip-Yip at The Loft Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 10 PM. $5.
Rhanda Johnson
Look to Me
Rhanda Johnson's voice has a depth and maturity that could only have been earned through years of experience. The Plains native has been singing all her life in churches, choirs and musical theater, but waited until later in life to release a solo album. This debut CD of original material finds Johnson, now a grandmother, still quite giddy about life and love—and curious about all the trifles and complications that come with both.
Although it's billed as a solo album, Look To Me is a community endeavor. Nearly every track features multi-instrumentalists Dave Griffith or Bill Mize accompanying Johnson. Local mother-daughter duo Carla Green and Rachel Wogsland contribute upright bass and fiddle, respectively, as well as harmony vocals. Evan Youngblood-Peterson drops in vocals, Janet Haarvig lends cello, Jack Huffman plays drums and Johnson's daughters also sing on the record. Their collective skill and confidence—this local folk release has an incredibly professional feel to it—create a solid backdrop for Johnson's Mary Chapin-Carpenter-like vocals.
Never in the entire effort is there a self-conscious flinch, and the result is an album that stands up to anything available on the national folk circuit today. (Caroline Keys)
Rhanda Johnson plays a CD-release show at The Loft Saturday, Feb. 24, at 8 PM. Jacob Kuntz opens. $10/$8 in advance/$2 off for Missoula Folklore Society members.
Tyler Burnett
There You Go
On There You Go, frontman Parker Burnett Brown demonstrates enough dexterity and soulful style on the fretboard to merit his band a gig in most any bar. But for all of this trio's instrumental acumen, neither Brown nor his bandmates are much for writing lyrics, producing mundane songs littered with dull phrasings.
The title track muses, "Well, if there's no wrong and there's no right maybe you could stay the night. We'll get drunk and we just might make it 'til the morning light. Kicking ass and taking names, making love will spark the flames. We'll just lie awake all night, holding to each other tight." That's not exactly a litany of novelty unless you count the segue from all-night love to battery, likely a serendipitous side effect of running low on stock phrases.
More detrimental to Tyler Burnett's prospects, none of the vocals are delivered in tones dulcet enough to make a more talented songwriter want to lend substance to their sound.
Writing and singing aside, what Tyler Burnett does better than many—perform trio rock with blues, jazz and country stylings—ought to keep them employed long enough so you can enjoy at least one barroom instrumental interlude. (Jason Wiener)
Tyler Burnett performs at Sean Kelly's Saturday, Feb. 24, at 10 PM. Cover TBA. Call 542-1471.

Once complete post back your results.
hi, I'm not new to backtrack entirely
my friend introduced me to it about a
year ago, I didnt use it for much though
I just recently decided to download BT2
sine I'm not a big fan of testing betas I
usually wait for full releases, mainly because
I'm not a programmer and wouldnt serve
much help to debug anyway
now, I used bkhive+samdump2 on my own
computer to test it out on, and they worked
brilliantly... however once running bkhive I got
sys key: blah blah blah blah
error writing to file
what exactly does this mean? and how can it be
fixed.... I cant run samdump to get the hashes
without the boot key
Once complete post back your results.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Where's the confusion? The program wants to write to a file and can't.error writing to file
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!

Making this information universally accessible enables you to discover the world and its places, not only as they are, but as you make them. That's why we now have the "Places" layer. With this release, we've combined user-generated content from sources including Wikipedia, Panoramio, the Google Earth Community, and YouTube to create a single, multi-faceted layer. A single glance. Better understanding. Endless exploration.
In the main Google Earth 3-D view, look for an icon that looks like a stack of photos to find a Place to explore. You'll notice that we've also changed the icon for Panoramio photos (now represented by a smaller photo stack) and Wikipedia (now represented by a "W").
Each "Place" is a specific spot on Earth we think you'll find interesting (we gauge that interest level by noting much community content exists about that place). Click on a Place icon to see a bubble rich with relevant content about that place... flip through photos, play videos, and download KML files from the Google Earth Community. Here's the bubble for the Golden Gate Bridge:
We've also broadened our "Wikipedia" layer. As Wikipedia expands in breadth across languages, so do we! Google Earth's Wikipedia content will now match your Google Earth client's language for eighteen supported languages. If Swedish is your primary language, for instance, you'll be greeted with fully internationalized bubbles like this:

Technical Abstract: One of the most fundamental aspects of snow hydrology is an understanding of the processes that lead to snowfall and the eventual distribution of a snowpack on the landscape. The factors that lead to the formation of snowfall are generally discussed in the beginning sections of the chapter. Since snowfall once formed, unlike rain, is quite easily borne by the wind and redistributed across the landscape before finally coming to rest to form a snowpack, the basic principles controlling blowing snow are also reviewed. Finally, the interception of snow by vegetation, which can have a profound effect on the amount and timing of snow that accumulates into a snowpack beneath a plant canopy, is described in the final section of the chapter.

GuySuCo: Throwing good money after bad EU conundrum
As I observed last week, with stunning condescension the European Union (EU) Ambassador, at the signing ceremony for the agreement on "EU budgetary support for Guyana's ailing sugar industry" was reported in the press as remarking: "Sugar is the industry of the future." He was also reported as stating: "that with the new scheme of the world economy, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) forced the EU to review its preference mechanisms that were applied to countries like Guyana, across the world" (Guyana Times, May 25, 2012).
Indeed, it was further reported that the Ambassador went on to state: "We [EU] were forced/pressed to move from the preferential regime to that one, [sic] but doing that we tried to do it at least in a smooth way" (ibid). The Accompanying Measures described last week was as he asserted: "Geared at helping the governments of the countries involved to deal with the new situation of price cuts."
These words contrast starkly with the explanation that I offered for the EU's denunciation of the Sugar Protocol (SP). They also speak volumes to the conundrum, which I presented last week: Does the EU's interest in Guyana's sugar go further than ensuring that when GuySuCo expires, it does so slowly? In other words, it dies the death of a thousand cuts!
The new conundrum that arises this week is whether the EU is engaged in deliberately throwing good money after bad. Several experts have queried: are there not better ways to use the funding provided by the EU assistance for constructive agricultural development? At the moment the EU seems bent on distributing "conscience money" to Guyana and other ACP countries, no doubt out of guilt and remorse. Once again though, the real concern is whether EU policy is fair to the citizens of Guyana or Europe.
Income transfers
As I previously observed it is not widely appreciated that, in the immediate decades following the signing of the Sugar Protocol (SP) in 1975, the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) sugar exporters were actually subsidizing Europe's sugar consumption. This was due to the fact that the negotiated prices for raw sugar, which they obtained, were below world market prices. In effect they were transferring resources from the ACP to Europe! However, in later years this situation regarding income transfers would be reversed. This happened primarily because through deliberate subsidisation of its domestic sugar production, Europe emerged as a leading global sugar producer, exporter and importer of sugar.
For the sake of providing readers with some idea of the size of the income transfers I am talking about, we can look at Guyana where the size of these resource transfers under the SP have indeed been considerable. Between 2006 and 2009 the EU price for raw sugar was cut from 523.7 euros per tonne, to 335 euros per tonne. And, according to studies I reported on last year (September 11, 2011) the income transfers to Guyana were, on average for the period of the 1990s up to 2005, roughly 7.5 per cent of its GDP (Guyana's export quota to the EU averaged 160,000 tonnes of raw sugar during these years). This transfer declined to under three per cent of GDP after 2005; the price cuts, as indicated above, began in 2006
Use of funds
The topic which should be considered at this stage is the major uses of funds under both the EU's Accompanying Measures and National Budget support. First, and foremost, there has been expenditure on the Skeldon Sugar Modernization Project (SSMP). As previously indicated the public may not be fully aware that this project has been in the making for over a decade now!
Further, the Skeldon factory project was originally designed to be accompanied with the modernization of the Albion factory and the expansion of estate cane cultivation. This was also to be accompanied with the closure of Rose Hall. These accompaniments are hardly ever mentioned nowadays, although as originally conceived they should have been already completed.
Second, there has been the Enmore Packaging Plant, constructed by Surendra Engineering Corp to package at least 40,000 tonnes of sugar per year. Commissioned in May 2011, this plant was intended to be in full operation by the end of last year. Although promoted as a flagship project by GuySuCo (because it adds value to raw sugar) this has not happened, and indeed recent press reports suggest that no significant sugar packaging for export took place during the first crop of 2012.
Third, there have been investments in field layout, replanting and so on. These have been designed to permit substantial use of mechanized means of production, which has become more urgent due to labour shortages and industrial conflicts. Indeed, the 2012 National Budget reported that GuySuCo had achieved 55 per cent mechanization at Skeldon and 70 per cent mechanization at the Enmore and La Bonne Intention estates (National Budget 2012, page 26).
Fourth, as readers are aware, private cane cultivation has traditionally been a minor, but not insignificant factor, in the sugar industry. Over the years, private cane farming has accounted for 8 per cent of total output. Most of this has traditionally taken place on the West Coast of Demerara. The goal of the present investment effort, however, is to increase the private cane farming contribution by about one-half, to reach 12 per cent of total output. More to the point the SSMP has been predicated on the successful nurturing of a substantial cadre of private independent sugar cane farmers in the Berbice/Corentyne area.
Next week I shall continue the assessment from this point.

looking for some advice on X3 pricing
Hello all! I'm new to this forum and to BMW.
I am very interested in buying the X3, either 2.5 or 3.0.
It seems to be impossible to find these cars on the dealer lots with low factory options.
The long story short is that I thought I could find a 2.5 with a sunroof, leather and privicy glass (couple of other essentails as well)- all for right under 34,000.
It seems that all of these cars are stocked with the premium package and the cold package which turns the 2.5 into a 38,500 MSRP vehicle and the 3.0 into a 43,500 MSRP vehicle.
Now, its August, BMW sales were down last month, the 05's are comming soon, BMWNA Finance has 1.9 for 60 months, AND many of the dealerships in the NYC area have at least 4-8 of these things in the color range I would like.
If we calculate invoice at 91.6% a 42,670 3.0 is 39,256. I can't imagine there are not unpublished incentives from BMWNA, and considering that invoice is all over the web, I can't imagine that 'invoice' is 'invoice'.
So the bottom line is, I want to get one of these cars, in the worst case scenario, for right at or below that invoice price.
Is it possible? Would a 30 to 40 percent downpayment help?
It seems the dealer wants to convince me that all of these options are neccesary in order to maintain re-sale value, kind of 'conform' or 'get lost' extortionist tactic, propably common as well. :eeps:
I don't mind having to fork out for options I'm not that interested in as long as I get a solid deal. And as always, he is only really interested in feeding me with his stock.
So if any one has any advice in this regard it would be much-much appreciated.
I hope to have the first hand knowlege to pass on to this forum soon!
And, whether you put down nothing, 20%, 50% or pay in cash, it makes no difference to the dealer-- they get the money all the same. In fact, they prefer that you finance as much as possible, because it is in their favor.
Thanks for the response and advice.
I have read on some forums that people are negotiating very close to invoice on these X3's. I've had some offers which come within 750 of invoice. Would this be a grabber?
Surely I could get it down a bit more. The financing is really attractive.
The bottom line is that I really like this car, It has just enough room for a small familly, the drive (at least the 3.0) is commanding, the sun-moon roof is, in my opinion the critical edge that takes it above other cars in its class. Very classy ride all around.
So in the opinion of any X3 owner or other BMW owner, is this a driving experience worth the money and investment?
Have you thought about leasing the X3? They have a pretty good lease offer right now.
The dealer isn't really bluffing when he says that you'll be hurt on resale without the Premium package. I had originally configured and ordered a car with Sport but without Premium, but the deal got scotched when I found out that the dealer lied to me about a couple of things. Anyways, I went to a different dealer and tried to find a car that was close to my original config. We literally looked at every coupe on the East Coast and those enroute there. We found 11 with Sport, without Premium. So yeah, I think it's gonna be tough down the road when you're trading in or selling privately against lots of other cars that have the Premium package.

text: BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Third-grader Sarah Shreve's teachers had never heard her speak -- until two days ago, when the Lone Oak Elementary School student wrapped up the voting in a national video contest she had entered with a comment about her effort. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130225/NE64886 ) Sarah suffers from a severe anxiety disorder called "selective mutism" but when she entered the Scotties Facial National "Trees Rock" Video Contest, things began to change, says her mom, Melissa. "This was a contest that Sarah felt passionate about. When we got the call this week about the judging, Sarah marched over to the phone and spoke into it, saying 'We have an update for Team Sarah -- WE WON!'" (One of the tools Sarah uses for therapy is a phone, which she speaks into without anyone on the other end.) But this call was different. Scotties was calling to tell her that, after a month of online voting and nearly 100,000 votes from the public, Sarah Shreve had won $10,000 for her school and $5,000 for herself. Sarah's mom, Melissa credits this breakthrough to the confidence Sarah has gained through the "Trees Rock" video contest, in which 3 rd, 4 th, and 5 th graders were challenged to create a short video about the importance of trees in our lives. During the voting period, it truly was a "Team Sarah" mentality in Lone Oak, 60 miles east of Dallas. As the smallest market out of all the top 12 finalists, Lone Oak came together with a "don't mess with Texas" attitude as Principal, Judy Steadham recalls. "There is a real alliance between the school and the community in Lone Oak. We had students who graduated 20 years ago were voting for her."

Online we only have our visual and hearing senses. So, you must make sure that the design and messaging are clearly stated and to the point. In advertising and promoting our brands on websites and social media, the spaces and banner ads can be quite thin or small, so we must get to the point.
When you send something in the mail, you can appeal to many more senses. Touch, Taste and Smell. Let me tell you about one of my favorite and super successful promotional campaigns from about 10 years ago! I designed a series of vintage baseball cards as well as the outer packaging. I bought bubble gum sticks and inserted them within the package and mailed off about 500-1000. Why was it successful? Because I attracted them to the envelopes with their sense of smell. They were searching through their mail for the gum! Of course once they opened it they could touch and enjoy the visuals. As you can see I was appealing to their sense of smell, taste, touch and sight. It brought in so many responses, as well as lots of work!
The ROI on that promotional campaign was unreal, if I had to guess I'd say more than 10-15% new clients and in sales maybe 1000%? So I got back more than 10 x what I invested.
In the examples I would like to show below, I visited Facebook and reviewed a bunch of the new timeline cover shots… some are doing it right, and some not:
In looking at big brands and what they choose to use in their cover image, it shows that with limited senses available via the web, great imagery with clear intentions will work the best at giving us the emotion they want us to feel. Video is also great because then we have both the visual and hearing senses working at once and this must be why YouTube is #2 as the most searched website.
In thinking again about doing a smart, eco-friendly, printed direct mail campaign, what could you do to appeal to many more senses then you have available on the web, and what would you do differently on the web now to better get the response wanted?
Have you expressed the emotion that clearly defines your brand so others get you?
Do we spend too much time connecting, promoting or advertising on the web and might it be an interesting experiment to pick out 100 or so people we know and send them a new promotion in regular mail and use the other senses?

East valley ice cream man accused of exposing himself to children
Coachella man reportedly sold ice cream to young girls, then exposed himself
COACHELLA, Calif. - An east valley ice cream man will have to answer to indecent exposure charges in June after police say they caught the Coachella man exposing himself to children.
Police arrested Israel Valdez Ayala, 40, Sunday after receiving complaints about his alleged lewd behavior over the prior week.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department said it's also looking for other possible victims.
In a release Monday the department said deputies responded to an indecent exposure call in the area of Mazatlan Drive in Coachella Monday April 15.
Callers said a man driving an ice cream truck exposed himself to a young girl while selling ice cream.
Coachella police searched the area, but failed to locate a suspect.
Police responded to a second indecent exposure call Thursday, April 20, in the area of Pedro Drive at 3:15 p.m.
The suspect was again described as driving an ice cream truck and exposing himself to a young girl after selling her ice cream.
Officers searched the area and this time located and arrested Ayala.
The sheriff's department said no one was hurt in either incident.
Ayala was booked into the Riverside County jail in Indio for indecent exposure. He posted $2,500 bail Sunday and was released from custody.
Ayala was ordered to appear in court in June for misdemeanor exposure.
The Coachella Police Department said anyone with information, or who might have been a victim, should contact Investigator Matthew Diaz from the Thermal Sheriff's Station Investigations Bureau at 760-863-8814.
Tips can also be reported anonymously through Crime Stoppers at (760) 341-STOP, or by sending an email to investigators at firstname.lastname@example.com.


text: HOUSTON, Jan. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA Johnson Space Center Director, Ellen Ochoa, astronauts and other NASA employees will join the Sabine County Columbia Memorial Committee and the Patricia Huffman Smith NASA Museum in Hemphill, Texas, to pay tribute to the crew lost aboard the space shuttle Columbia 10 years ago Feb. 1. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) JSC representatives will participate in observances Thursday, Jan. 31, and Friday, Feb. 1. Ochoa and astronaut Tim Kopra will share remarks during a NASA night in Hemphill beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Family Life Center, First Baptist Church. Astronaut William (Bill) McArthur Jr., will join them in making remarks during a memorial tribute at the Family Life Center at 7:30 a.m. Friday. That day marks the 10 th anniversary of the Columbia accident. Columbia and its crew were lost 15 minutes before landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., when unknown damage to its wing allowed heating from entry to cause high-speed aerodynamic breakup of the vehicle at an altitude of about 200,000 feet over east Texas. Ochoa was named director of JSC on Jan. 1 when her predecessor, Mike Coats, retired. She previously was deputy director and director of Flight Crew Operations, and was an astronaut serving on four space shuttle missions before moving into management positions. McArthur currently is director of JSC's Safety and Mission Assurance office. He previously was manager of the shuttle Orbiter Projects Office and served as a crew member on three shuttle flights and one long-duration expedition on the International Space Station.

Your favorite plant
Trying to get some ideas for my new tank, just name the plant and give a reason why.
So far my favorite plant is my crypt wendtii because of the way it looks when it grows in and propagates a lot.
Fissidens = Intricate yet small, they attach to almost anything, and the deep green color are a few of the reasons I like these. They tend to make the scape "mature" looking also.
Any type of Tonina because they are somewhat difficult to grow healthy. I am currently growing some Tonina Marble Queens.
Here are a few varieties in one pic:
I'm an Anubias fan
I'm in love with my Aponogeton ulvaceus, just because it's huge, "fluffy" and my fish adore hiding in it.
I like Bucephlandra sp. "Brownie Ghost". Colors and spathes on buce are awesome.
Pennyworts. I love the little umbrella look
Fissidens because of their dark green colour and also their shape.
UG because of the soft weeping grass look they have.
Anubias barteri var. 'Petite' is also very nice, again because of the dark green colour and because their shape contrasts that of the above two plants.
For something a little lighter green in colour, Hemianthus callitrichoides is always a nice go to.
Nymphaea species, amazing color, can grow big, and grows lily pads. To add to it, it flowers readily in an aquarium:)
Java ferns. They are good beginner plants that come in several varieties. They can be attached to rocks and driftwood.
I think Rotala Indica is probably my favorite. Has grown quite easily for me, has a great bushy like effect, and has pretty sweet colors. especially when it has that nice pink hue to it. second place would probably be Crypt Wendtii.
Also love the anubias...so many leaf types :)
Must say I'm a fan of Swords, they are easy to grow for the most part and they get large and tall. My favorite would probably be the Indian Red Sword, the reds are stunning when it actually starts to grow!
I really like glosso when it forms a dense carpet

Sister Cristina Scuccia, a 25-year-old member of the Ursuline Sisters of the Holy Family, has become the fastest-growing internet phenomenon of all time after her performance on the Italian version of The Voice went viral.
Sr. Cristina sang "No One" by Alicia Keys and stunned the judges with both her talent and her religious habit. When asked what brought her to perform on The Voice, Sr. Cristina said,
"I have a gift and I am giving it to you. Shouldn't things be that way?"
The video of Sr. Cristina's performance has been viewed more than 31 million times, garnering more than 13 million hits in the first three days after the audition. This breaks the record for a video to pass the 10 million view mark, making Sister Cristina the fastest-growing Youtube sensation ever. The previous record holder was "Gangnam Style" by Korean pop star Psy, which took 18 days to reach the 10 million view mark before becoming the most-watched YouTube video of all time with nearly 2 billion hits.
