Fiery Fiesta earns it stripes
When it comes to sporting cars, some people think it's all about horsepower. The more the better, basically.
However, cars like the Ford Fiesta XR4 remind us driving enjoyment means a whole lot more than simply blurred scenery and a straight line.
The beauty of the XR4 is its completeness as an entertaining package - trading outright speed for eager responsiveness and a nimble persona.
And there's the price. At $24,990 the XR4 is a true bargain among warmed-over mini-cars, undercutting the likes of the Mini Cooper, Peugeot 207 GT and VW Polo GTI on price, and significantly outperforming the cheaper Suzuki Swift Sport.
The XR4 is a three-door Fiesta fitted with a freer-breathing version of the Duratec 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that powers the Focus small car. A five-speed manual is the sole transmission.
The Fiesta's much-lauded suspension is firmed and lowered and rear discs are fitted for the first time. Pirelli PZero Nero 205/40 tyres encase attractive 11-spoke alloy wheels.
Handling can be tailored with the ability to switch the stability control system on or off.
Comfort equipment includes front seats partially trimmed in leather. There's also some minor graphic flourishes inside, but it's outside where the XR4 gives away its intended purpose more readily.
There's a body kit that includes a deeper front bumper and large lower radiator inlet flanked by fog lights, side skirts, rear bumper extension, polished exhaust pipe and roof-mounted rear spoiler. Then there's those racing stripes - big, wide, obvious, and a $300 option. Buy them if you want to attract attention.
Less garish are the XR4 badges. In Europe, where it was developed, this car is called the ST - short for Sports Technologies. XR is a purely Aussie nomenclature which ties in with Ford's other XR models; the Euro-developed Focus XR5 Turbo and Falcon-based models.
This makes marketing sense, but could have been an image disaster if the Fiesta was flaccid rather than fast. There is a definite character expected from an XR - a broad and deep well of engine response and sports handling that ties the car to the road without destroying ride quality.
The XR4 manages to downsize the concept but still emerge as a deserving member of the family. A key is its 1090 kg kerb weight combined with an engine delivering 110 kW and 190 Nm. Throw in a low-mass flywheel for sharper throttle response and the XR4 delivers with alacrity and flexibility.
This is the sort of car that can be stuck in third gear on a winding road and be let loose. While performance is not enormous, it delivers so enjoyably. Second gear is really only for the tightest of corners, fourth snatched briefly on long straights. And yet despite this the XR4 still delivered an overall fuel use average of 9.0 L/100 km. The handbook claims 6.6.
In the everyday, the manual could grow tiresome, particularly as the clutch proved stall-prone with its late take-up. There was also little space provided for the left foot in the pedal box. You might also grow tired of the engine's unedifying vocal at middling revs. It sounds far better heading through 6000 rpm, but that's unlikely in rush-hour traffic.
Tyre noise is also a constant companion on our coarse chip roads, but that's a small sacrifice for the excellent performance of the Pirelli rubber. Steering is pin-sharp, whippet-quick and responsive.
Stability control (DSC in Ford-speak) is well tuned and hardly intrusive, particularly as the XR4 hardly ever needs it. Its ride also avoids being intrusive until conditions get quite chopped up. The front-end can run out of travel over big holes, resulting in a horrible banging noise.
But the biggest compromise is the 11.4 m turning circle, bigger even than a Falcon.
More efficient is interior space, which is good for a mini. Two adults could fit in the rear seats for a reasonable jaunt, and there is 261 litres of boot space before the rear seat is split-folded.
The front seats are terrific, with substantial bolsters and an extended base providing plentiful under-thigh support. But it should have had reach adjustment for the steering column, better placed and more cupholders and a full-sized spare tyre. And what about cruise control, not even an option?
But these are quibbles. No, it's not big on kilowatts, and at just under 10 secs, not that fast from zero to 100 km/h. Instead, it's brilliantly priced and beautifully executed for a memorable driving experience.

Tony and I enjoyed Amritsar so much last fall that we decided to share it with our guests. The four of us took the train on April 1 for six hours to the state of Punjab. At the Amritsar train station, a young taxi driver approached us. Sunny gave us a ride to our hotel, and we liked him so much we hired him for our whole visit.
At the recommendation of our school's travel agent, we stayed at Mrs. Bhandari's Guesthouse, which featured a pool, outdoor eating area, garden, courtyard with water buffalo and a humble collection of rooms. Liz snapped this shot of our fellow guesthouse residents.
We checked in, grabbed a quick snack, and took off for the Wagah Border-Closing Ceremony at the Pakistan-India border, about 45 minutes out of town.
Just like our last visit, food and drink vendors lined the path approaching the stadium. I loved this papaya seller with his papaya-colored shirt and turban. Theresa got the shot.
Sno-cones made on the spot with the Indian flag colors!
A water boy wisely targeting the men in line. This may be the only place on the planet where the women's line moves faster!
After passing through VIP security, we took our seats in the Foreigners Gallery and watched the bedlam. A full Bollywood street party was followed by people actually LINING UP to run a short distance with the Indian flag.
Eventually the hollering, high-stepping, gate-slamming, foot-stomping, thumb-gesturing, hat-straightening, mustache-twisting, anthem-singing, flag-lowering antics came to a close. I took so many pictures on our last visit. This time I just watched. Check out the Pakistani guard (black beret and shades) who Theresa photographed. You do NOT want to mess with him.
Returning from the border ceremony, Sunny eagerly asked if we knew the story of Ganesha. I did, only because I had heard it at school during India Week. However, Sunny told the tale with such exuberance and joy that I just let him run with it. Here's the story, fyi. (This is NOT how Sunny told it. His rendition featured generic nouns slapped with unconjugated verbs in an unintelligible but joyous English soup.) From the website religionfacts.com:
Incensed by the refusal of her husband to respect her privacy, to the extent of entering her private chambers even while she was having her bath, Parvati decided to settle matters once and for all. Before going for her bath the next time, she rubbed off the sandalwood paste on her body and out of it created the figure of a young boy. She infused life into the figure and told him he was her son and should guard the entrance while she bathed.
Soon after, Shiva (Lord of destruction and husband of Parvati) came to see Parvati but the young boy blocked his way and would not let him in. Shiva, unaware that this lad was his son, became furious and in great anger fought with this boy whose head got severed from his body in the ensuing battle. Parvati, returning from her bath, saw her headless son and threatened in her rage to destroy the heavens and the earth, so great was her sorrow.
Shiva pacified her and instructed his followers (known as ganas) to bring the head of the first living being they encounter. The first creature they encountered was an elephant. They thus cut off its head and placed it on the body of Parvati's son and breathed life into him. Thus overjoyed, Parvati embraced her son.
Theresa took this great shot of the dashboard decor in Sunny's car: Ganesha in a Clam Shell. I love it so much! No, I don't know why this Hindu elephant god is resting on a mollusk, but there's no denying that it's awe inspiring.
Basically re-creating our first Amritsar visit, we took Liz and Theresa to Kesar da Dhaba for dinner. Everyone seemed happy with their food, and the restaurant owner remembered me from November! We bought dinner for Sunny, who tried to have a philosophical discussion with Tony about the Sikh religion.
After dinner, Sunny drove us to the Golden Temple. It was not the peaceful oasis we remembered from five months ago! It was a mob scene … a happy, spiritual, family-oriented mob scene, but a mob scene nonetheless. I was trying to take a photo of Tony and Liz in front of the temple when this family crowded in to the shot. Okayyyy.
Another family shoved a baby into Liz's arms, which she confusedly cuddled until the mother realized its absence and abruptly yanked it back. Craziness! I liked this calm lady who was chilling and enjoying the glowing temple.
The next morning, Liz and Tony ventured back to the temple and the Jalianwallah Bagh Memorial. Apparently, they hung out with this guy.
Theresa and I lazed around the guesthouse, taking photos of the colorful garden.
For more details on the places we visited, check out my old posts about Amritsar.
On April 2, it was time to head our separate ways. Tony and Liz returned to Delhi and later took a daytrip to Agra. Theresa and I drove to McLeod Ganj, a hill station in the Himalayas and home of the exiled Dalai Lama. That story is coming up next!

What Has Happened To Us As a Society?
Today I am Mad, Upset and Disappointed
Today, outside my home, a woman was killed when she was hit by not one, but by two cars. The saddest part of it all – neither stopped and just drove away! I have been sitting here all day trying to figure out what kind of society we have become. What kind of person would do that? I guess in some ways, I can understand shock, not knowing what to do or to feel like you are in a dream. Me personally, I would have pulled over a couple blocks away and got out of my car and stood on the side of the road for a few minutes, pulling myself together, and then calling 911 from where I was standing. But, these two people just kept driving!
This woman was 50, has children, parents, brothers and sisters, but neither one of these two drivers even considered that. What is the most disgusting thing about this whole situation, people continued to drive around her and not even stop. One of the persons whom lived on the street ran out from her house and just held her hand until she was gone! The only person to care had to come running out of her house to show some compassion.
Is this what we have become? Is this what us as human beings have decided we want to be? Are we so busy that we cannot even stop to help someone in distress? Are we really that busy? Do we have to get to work that quickly? I was already at work for the day, but if I were there, I know for sure that I would have been out of my car in an instant helping her as much as I could.
What really gets me about this whole situation, what if one of those drivers that just drove by, lost their cell phone? I can tell you right now, they would turn back home, dig apart the house, car and even our backpacks or purses. They would be willing to waste 2 hours out of their day to find that cell phone and when they got to work explain this to their Boss, and for some reason, their Boss would completely understand! So what make us think that the same Boss that forgave us about the cellphone incident, would not understand about the woman being hit by the car and you had to remain as a witness or to try to assist? Or could it be that they had to wait for a red light to respond to that text and really was not paying attention to the road?
I truly believe that technology is taking over our lives. I remember a day when we would all leave a few minutes early for work, so we could get a cup of coffee before starting our day. Now, we have our insulated coffee cups ready to go, sitting right beside our coffee pot(which is set to a time right before we leave in the morning), just so we don't have to walk across the kitchen to get our coffee mugs(because that will take us an extra 30 seconds). But, one things for sure, we checked our Facebook, Twitter, and email before getting that coffee cup off the counter. Then on the way to work, we are hoping for a red light so we can quickly respond to the person on the other side of the text because we can't wait the 10 minutes it will take us to get to work. WE LIVED WITHOUT ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY BEFORE!!! We can do it again!
My only two questions to each of the persons whom just drove around this poor woman "1)what did you think she was doing there? Sleeping? Passed Out? Would it matter even the reason? 2)What if this was one of your family members, how would you feel right now?" I am sure all of the persons that drove away are rethinking their decision, but it is just TOO DAMM LATE!!! There is absolutely no excuse, PERIOD!!!
I have so many things going on in my mind right now, but one thing is for sure, this poor woman and her family are in my heart and prayers and I can only hope that us as a community can only see this as a huge mistake on our part. To help this family in any way we can and make sure that they at least know that their community is there for them, NOW. But, is it too late?!
Today, February 22, 2013, one driver has turned himself in!! 23 years old and now his life has changed forever. Before, he may have had some charges like vehicular manslaughter, or maybe just a suspended license. Now, he is being charged with murder and fleeing the scene!
Yes, there is shock, but at the same time - there is compassion for the life lost. It should not have taken him a whole day to turn himself in!
Now, awaiting for the other driver to turn themselves in! I will keep you posted!
Second driver is still nowhere to be found. The police have found the car though!! I just wish this person would turn themselves in and make face! The family deserves that much!
How Would You Feel if This Happened in Your Community?
How very sad. When are we ever going to realize that life moves so fast. We need to slow down and show some humanity toward our neighbors. I wonder if we ever will, i hope so. Thank you...
It is really sad what we have let our society become! We now cater to the lazy and accept people not taking responsibility for there actions. We are in trouble. Good hub!

This website isn't all that spectacular.
The truth is I'm simply too busy with stuff like clients, customers, products, real work, family, etc. to maintain what was originally going to be a blog. Also for some of the same reasons outlined in this article, I'm simply going to leverage the other platforms that exist for people who wish to contact me, follow me, stalk me (please don't really do that), read what I have to say (unless you have a better hobby) and so on.
So in that spirit here are some of the places you can see what I'm doing (some I'm very active on and others I need to going on):
- Twitter (brief, pithy little thoughts and links and, well…you know)
- Facebook (sometimes more verbose thoughts and links and, well…you know)
- Medium (writing and articles and stuff)
- NowNowNow (Derrick Sivers new project)
And, last but not least, good old-fashioned email.
All I ask is if you reach out to me on Facebook or LinkedIn, just let me know who you are and why we should be friends or "connections." I get a lot of requests from people I don't know, so helping me know why is kinda nice. Thanks.
In addition there are a couple of pages on this site:

It is always surprising to me when when I meet with small business owners how many of them don't think about most obvious prospects when they are looking to increase business.
Working with small business owners is our specialty and providing hand holding and consulting is something we do on a regular basis. I find that when we start asking questions about the current marketing, past marketing, what has worked, what hasn't, I am always surprised to find out that there is absolutely no marketing to the people who have already done business with them. it is absolutely in my mind the most obvious group of people to market to. They already know and like you…so what's the question!
Some of the ideas that you can implement is to do postcard marketing to them, call them or email them. Now…LISTEN UP…sending them ONE postcard, one email or calling them one time…WILL NOT WORK. Whatever you choose, you MUST be consistent and it must be ongoing. And I mean….ONGOING. You cant quit or it wont work….let me say that one more time….YOU CAN'T QUIT OR IT WONT WORK!
We are hear to help, visit us on the web at www.printerbees.com or simply give us a call at 877-939-2337. We hope to hear from you soon!


text: I have searched thru past threads and still would like to ask the question. I prepare the soil for seed or sod with a reverse action rototiller and follow up with a pulverizer then hand rake where needed. Everyone around me has gone to a Harley rake due to the speed with which they can prepare a lawn (which is much faster then me). My concern is with soil prep. The Harley only goes about 1" deep, seed requires 1-4" of soil prep for "best performance". Degreed Turf managers that I have talked to do not like the Harley as a single soil prep tool. And yes the Rotodairon sounds like the toll but $15K OUCH! What are your experiences and thoughts.

Two-fold thinking here. One side of you wants to be able to remotely check on the babysitter that is home with children. The other part of you wants to get the hot-tub started an hour before cruising up to your Aspen chalet, and make sure that the security system is armed back home in Denver with your cell-phone. Those are great ideas and we can help them become a reality. Life just got better.

Sloan Museum Auto Fair is presented by Genisys Credit Union. Next year, the show is June 23 & 24, 2018.
Thank you for coming to the 2017 Show. Check out who won awards.
Vehicle Registration Gates open at 7am both days.
Visitor/Public Gates are open on Saturday 9am to 5pm and Sunday 9am to 3pm.
Treasures in the Meadows gate will be open Friday 4-7PM, and Saturday and Sunday at 6AM
Help us by being a volunteer. Download the now.
The 46th Sloan Museum Auto Fair (SMAF) is almost here! This annual fundraising event will take place June 23-24, 2018. The show is made possible because of people like you who attend and care about vehicles and Flint history. More than ever before, we need your support this year. Over the last 45 years, Sloan Museum Auto Fair has contributed more than $250,000 for the acquisition, restoration, and maintenance of Sloan Museum's important collection of vehicles and the automobile archives that are significant to Flint. The only way this was possible is through your continued support of vehicle registrations, volunteering, admission tickets, and all levels of sponsorships. As Sloan Museum begins to dream of a new facility, it's important to have your support of the show to keep our automobile history at the forefront of the displays. Please send in your vehicle registration or become a sponsor today.
During the Auto Fair, Sloan Museum and Buick Gallery will be open to all participants and spectators. It's a great opportunity to enjoy rare collectable cars, take pictures, videos, and learn about Flint's historic role in the automotive industry. Car enthusiasts of all ages, vendors, and sponsors will want to be a part of this annual celebration of automobiles! All proceeds from the show go to restoring, acquiring and maintenance for the Sloan Museum auto collection and archives.
The newest addition to Sloan Museum's automotive collection will be on display during Auto Fair at Buick Gallery. On October 12, 2016, the museum picked up a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette, bringing the total number of vehicles in the automotive collection to 103. 1963 marked the first major redesign of "America's Sports Car" and the new Corvette (assembled in St. Louis) was smaller, lower, lighter, and more aggressive, featuring a Flint-built 340 horsepower, 327 cid V-8 and a 4-speed transmission. 1963 also marked the first year a Corvette coupe was available, and the only year for the "split rear window" that has become the Stingray's hallmark.
Awards for 2018 will include Best GM-original, Best GM-modified, Best Ford-original, Best Ford-modified, Best Mopar-original, Best Mopar-modified, Best RatRod, Best Truck, Best Lowrider, Best Foreign, Best Orphan, Best Youth-Owned, Best Woman-Owned, Best Paint, Best Interior, Best Engine, Best Millennium (2000 or newer), 3 Military Awards, and the Top 25. In addition, there will be awards for One Fine Ride (Judges' Choice), the Best of Show Original-Restored, the Best of Show Original, the Best of Show-Modified, and the Executive Director's award for Best of Show. Only judged vehicles are eligible for awards.
Our special displays are a great attraction. Sloan Museum Auto Fair is proud to celebrate station wagons and tractors. Applewood Estate will also host a display featuring Corvair vehicles. Finally, we will showcase the very popular Police Car display again this year.
Be sure to like us on Facebook to get all our news and updates. 2017 was a great show and we are planning to make 2018 even better!

He'd given me a site-unseen estimate over the phone of $2000 for the job for labor and materials; $250/window. When he actually priced the job it was $2000 for the windows alone and the labor came in at another $1400, almost his first quote. I figured the price would be higher than his initial quote, but I think he'd forgotten our phone conversation.
I don't know why anyone would *not* base their labor charge on the time it takes them to do the job and appropriately for the skill/technical knowledge involved. If a job can be done quickly (and well) then what's the big deal to be pricing it at $100/hr. Those are doctor's wages. Sounds like 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' to me.
Replacing windows is not rocket science. I just don't understand how carpentry work is equivalent to that of a doctor. What I do for a living is harder, very technical and has much more responsibility and I don't make anywhere near that amount.
$25/hour is more like it, which is very good money for carpentry work. I actually did have a carpenter say his labor charge was $25/hour but upon job-done, it worked out to $125/hr for the first job and $80/hr for the second (labor only). Figure.
Well, as it turns out, I know someone who's managing window replacement in a very nice retirement community and the labor charge there is, in fact, $25/hour. Says they're doing a good job. He told me to tell the guy to go pound sand. I'm hoping they can do mine as well.
But I'll get a couple more estimates to see what others are charging. I just don't see how they can get that kind of money. I think things are getting entirely out of control.

Liz Maw was raised as a Catholic, and her paintings often reflect on quasi-religious themes, such as the idea of worship, and link these to the central position of sexuality and celebrity in contemporary society. Maw's works emulate the scale and impact of historical European painting, often presenting full length figures at life-size or larger. However, these are not portraits of kings or princes, but of the powerful figures of the collective pop-cultural subconscious. These include celebrities, such as Clint Eastwood (Bill, 2006) and Robert Plant (Robert Plant, 2005) religious figures such as Jesus (Jesus, 2002), and mythological creatures like the minotaur (My Love, 2003) and mermaid (Naiad, 2006). Maw's works have a seamless, immaculate surface that is both sensuous and disturbing, sitting between medieval icon painting and airbrushed magazine illustration. This play with questions of high and low art is a core feature of her practice. Maw's work is held in many public and private collections, including that of the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and the Chartwell Trust collection. A book of images of her paintings with accompanying poems by the artist, My Beloved Hackneyed, was published in 2008.

Depending on your beliefs, the experience of death hovers over our lives like an unknowable but inevitable void. Aside from the well-cited 'bright-light at the end of the tunnel' cliché, we have no idea what it's going to look or feel like, but we know for sure that we're all eventually going to find out.
One person who has a better idea than most is Sam Parnia, the director of resuscitation research at Stony Brook University School of Medicine in the US, who has conducted the largest study to date on resuscitated patients in an attempt to try to unravel the mental and cognitive experience of dying. As part of his research, he's interviewed more than 100 people who've been brought back to life after suffering from a fatal cardiac arrest, and found that nearly half of them have some memory, ranging from terrifying to blissful, of their death. Publishing in the journal Resuscitation, Parnia has grouped those memories into seven broad categories, proving that dying is a far more diverse experience than we've previously imagined. These categories are:
- Fear
- Seeing animals or plants
- Bright light
- Violence and persecution
- Deja-vu
- Seeing family
- Recalling events post-cardiac arrest
That last one is pretty fascinating, with two of the patients interviewed able to recall the events that happened after they had technically died and, according to our understanding of the human brain, should have ceased to be aware. "We know the brain can't function when the heart has stopped beating, but in this case conscious awareness appears to have continued for up to three minutes into the period when the heart wasn't beating, even though the brain typically shuts down within 20 to 30 seconds after the heart has stopped," Parnia told The National Post last year. However, these recall experiences only occurred in 2 percent of patients, and the majority of people remembered seeing and feeling things that weren't real at the time of their death.

Meru National Park
Travel to Meru National Park – Wilderness & Wildlife
Meru National Park is an explorer's paradise. The least visited of Kenya's larger parks and reserves, this remote region is a lush green eden. From the parks southern boundary, seemingly endless series of streams branch out from the Tana River bringing life to the land.
Meru's thick forests, tall grass and stands of Doum Palm are surrounded by rolling hills and stark Kopjes. This is the wild country, this isolated unspoilt wilderness lets the visitor have the freedom to explore the park at a relaxed pace without encountering other people. Game tracking can be challenging but very rewarding. Lion are often seen on high rocky outposts, and large herds of buffalo and elephant can also be found. Other species include Reticulated giraffe, oryx, Lesser kudu and eland.
Meru district is named after the Meru – a collective tribe united by a common heritage. The Meru group incorporates the Igembe, Igoji, Imenti, Muitini, Tigania, Muthambi, Mwimbi and Chuka people. The uniting term Meru comes from the Maasai, who called the forests of Tigania and Imenti Mieru, meaning basically "a quiet place".
Meru was also the backdrop for one of the world's best known nature stories. This was the place where, in the 1950's George and Joy Adamson released a captive lioness into the wild. This story became a bestselling book 'Born Free' and then an Academy Award winning film. The story is considered a remarkable testament to man's ability to live with wild animals, and a powerful call for conservation of wildlife and its habitat.
The thick jungle of vegetation in Meru makes game viewing both challenging and rewarding. A wildlife safari through Meru involves tracking and locating game through a range of habitats.
The Hills and Kopjes make good game spotting outposts, and getting up high is the best way to scan the horizons for herds of game. Lions are known to also take advantage of this opportunity, and can be seen hunting on these slopes for buffalo or oryx.
The waters of the Tana river and its many streams always attract plenty of wildlife. The thick riverine forests are the best places to locate game, and are excellent birding country. Large numbers of Reticulated giraffe, impala, Lesser kudu and eland can be found around these water sources.
The Meru area is excellent birding country, there have been recorded sightings of Saddle Billed Stork, Pel's Fishing Owl and African Finfoots in the swamps and along the river.
Further along the Tana river from Meru, there is access to the smaller Kora National Park, and three reserves Bisanadi, North Kitui, and Rahole. This entire area is sparsely populated and wild, a place that rewards the visitor with untold natural riches.
The most common means of game viewing here is in customised vehicles, with open roofs or sides designed for photography.
White Water Rafting trips on the Tana River are possible. Stretches of White Water are alternated with relaxing drifts through open country with plenty of game viewing along the way.
Fishing trips on the Tana River provide a perfect relaxing break from your safari. They provide a great opportunity to explore the region by boat, and spend a day game and bird watching on the river.
In and around Meru town, many small markets and shops can be found selling local handicrafts. The decorative leatherwork of the Tharaka people is highly regarded, and the finest examples of this craft can be found in this area. The Tharaka also produce excellent spears, arrows, and traditional weapons.
Northern Kenya is also a good place to find handicrafts from further North. Somali Bracelets and Daggers are often found, as are items of silver Ethiopian Jewellery.
Road access to Meru is via Meru town, a three hour drive from Nairobi. The park has well established internal roads and tracks.

Brazil is known for many things — its cosmopolitan ambiance, a wealth of spectacular beaches, the wildest Carnival celebration in the civilized world, and hordes of beautiful babes decked out in skimpy bikinis. Those assets aside (did we mention the babes in bikinis?), it's also worth noting the vibrant musical heritage, from birthing bossa nova to nurturing modern masters such as Paulinho Da Costa, Milton Nascimento, Sérgio Mendes, Naná Vasconcelos, Gilberto Gil, and Astrid Gilberto.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Guitarist Rick Udler can also lay claim to this rich musical mélange, and over the past 25 years, he has become an eager ambassador for Brazilian culture in all of its various incarnations. His 1996 CD, Rhythm and Romance, found him teaming with vocalist Maria Alvim, which spawned rave reviews from jazz journals worldwide. Three years later, Udler was tapped to produce legendary guitarist Paulinho Nogueira's first U.S. release, Reflections, prompting more kudos. His most recent disc, Papaya, is a sensual set of original instrumentals. It reflects Udler's international influences, transfusing his native rhythms into vibrant, engaging melodies and a supple finger style that's drawn comparison to renowned jazz guitar masters such as Baden Powell, Earl Klugh, and Nogueira himself. Udler comes by this synthesis naturally, having spent much of the Eighties living in New Orleans, Los Angeles, and, of special note, Miami. So allow yourself the pleasure of his cool groove and celebrate this accomplished musician's welcome return.

We dedicate a huge effort in our typefaces both technically and creatively. We hope you enjoy this type and we encourage you to take the most advantage of its styles.Roberto Arlt, Argentinean writer from early XXth century, wrote some very original novels all of which 'Siete locos' ('Seven Madmen') is maybe the most celebrated piece. The Arlt type family is based on his oeuvre. It has a Baroque style interpretated with an expressionist, more contemporary flair. This means the type is full of intense contrasts and vivid, expressive feelings. The italics make a specially dynamic rhythm on text.The Arlt text fonts come in four weights including roman, italics, and small caps. They offer a colourful, spicy though comfortable immerse reading. They are ideal for literature books, specially for suspense novels and sordid stories of the underworld. Its use under other circumstances may be dangerous!The 'Arlt Titulo' fonts were carefully designed to be used in titlings and other display settings. They will look more elegant at big body sizes, above 24 pt. The 'Arlt 7 Locos', a sub-family of seven fonts, resulted of a more relaxed exploration on how to thoroughly destroy a series of carefully designed letterforms. They can be misteriously attractive when used in small text printed over rough quality papers.Visit www.PampaType.com if interested in knowing better about the 'Arlt' typeface designs.Arlt is a trademark of PampaType.

I'm using WordPress now as my course management platform. I outline and explain the reasons why this is awesome here. In this post, I want to highlight some plugins that run the gamut from must have to cool-to-have. I'll let you decide which is which.
- Email Users
The utility of this one is pretty self-explanatory.
- WP-Hide Post
You might want to use posts to convey information to students, that you link to from a syllabus page. Or maybe an instructions page. But you may not want these posts to disrupt the flow of the blog discussion board. WP-Hide Post puts a display in your post editor that let's you hide posts from the front page (among other things) on a post-by-post basis.
- Role Manager
You might want a more fine-grained role system than the standard Editor, Contributor, Subscriber options. This where Role Manage becomes useful. You can divide your students in to different groups and assign different permissions to each group.
- Page Restrict
Much of my courses is page is publicly available. You can see it here. But you may want some pages to be restricted (e.g. pages with more personal information about students or pages that have contact forms that you want to keep spammers away from). Page restrict will let you select pages that you want only logged in users to have access to.
- Private Files
If you link to electronic readings, but want to keep things within the bounds of fair use guidelines – Private Files will lock download your upload folder. If you link to a reading that is stored in your upload folder, only logged in users will have access to it when you use private files.
- KB Gradebook
I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if there were a gradebook plugin for WordPress?" It turns out…there is one. Very simple and straight-forward plugin.
- Sideblog WordPress Plugin
Sideblog let's you set your blog up so that short posts with a certain category show up in the side bar. This would be perfect for a Course Announcements feature.
- List Category Posts
Let's say you want to created an auto-generated list of links to all posts that fall under a certain category (e.g. Announcements, or Readings). This plugin lets you do that.
- My Page Order
Comes in Handy if you want to re-arrange the order of pages on your course blog.
- Subscribe to Comments
This one is really useful for students. Sometimes students don't use RSS readers and are only interested in tracking discussions of their posts or discussion threads that they've participated in. This gives them a way to email subscribe to the comment thread of just the posts that they're interested in following.
- WordPress Database Backup
A must if you're tracking student activity on the blog for a grade.
- Force User Registration Field
Students often use usernames like TheRealHarryPotter92. With the standard install of of WordPress – that's all the info you would get from your registrant. They can go in and fill out their real name in their profile, but sometimes students forget. With this plugin you can force students to provide other important information (e.g. their first and last name).
- WPhone
This plugin allows you to opt for a mobile phone optimized display. It's very handy for students and professors with smartphones (e.g. an Android phone, Iphone, or Blackberry). I have an Android phone, and this thing is awesome. It gives me a nice, clean way to interface with my course blog on the go.
- Easy Uploader
This makes it easier to upload files from within WordPress.
- Batch Add Users
I have a brief open enrollment period, and students sign-up for the course. Another option, however, would be to add multiple users. This plugin gives you a very simple way to do that. Here's another option that works well.

The local currency has been devalued in order to qualify for a $12 billion IMF loan as well as to flush out the black market.
Egypt's Central Bank has devalued their local currency from 8.85 Egyptian pounds to the dollar to roughly 13 Egyptian pounds to the US greenback in an effort to flush out the black market, on Thursday.
According to the central bank, which is responsible for setting Egypt's monetary policy, foreign currency prices will henceforth be determined by local market supply and demand.
"It is going to take us around a year and a half to see changes," Tarek Amer, the head of the central bank said at a news conference. "We are just fixing the foundations."
International Monetary Fund Director Christine Lagarde has repeatedly called on Egypt's financial authorities to devalue the Egyptian pound - long considered overvalued - so as to qualify for a requested $12-billion IMF loan.
By the end of October, the dollar was trading for as much as 18 pounds on Egypt's black currency markets - the weakest exchange rate in the country's history.
Egypt's black market for dollars has flourished since the 2011 uprising that saw the fall of President Hosni Mubarak's 30 year rule, scaring away tourists and foreign investors, a country's major sources of foreign currency.
This has not carried through to the real value of the Egyptian pound that has been falling on the black market since the uprising that scared away tourists and foreign investors.
Since then, the Egyptian pound has continued to fall due to acute hard-currency shortages in the local market, along with recent declines in tourism, foreign investment and exports due largely to ongoing political turmoil.

Hidamari Sketch anime gets a 4th season in which nothing happens cutely. Hidamari Sketch SP is slated for fall.
Nozomi/RightStuf announces the third and final Revolutionary Girl Utena Box set pre-orders and the nifty Rose Seal Ring extra. For a limited time, while supplies last, folks who order all three of the box sets will get a replica of Utena's ring. I'm still weak at the knees that they managed to get us the ring!
Aniplex debuts the Puella Magi Madoka Magica trailer, subtitled. I like the focus on sweet, and the complete obfuscation of the entire story. This will be the anime equivalent of a 2'x4′ to the back of the head for some, I imagine.

Nannaku Prematho is going strong at the box office in spite of having three more promising Telugu releases in the Pongal race."Telugu film #NannakuPrematho is SUPER-STRONG on Day 2 in USA. Tue $ 355,580, Wed $ 231,621. Total: $ 587,201 [₹ 3.96 cr]. @RentrakIndia", tweeted Taran Adarsh Bollywood's trade analyst.
It is expected to achieve the 1 million mark by its first weekend in USA. On the other hand, Nannaku Prematho collected a gross of 24.22 Cr in Telugu states alone after its day 2. Check out the area-wise break of Nannaku Prematho box office collections in the slides below.
The film is reportedly made with a budget of more than 50 Cr and did a pre-release business of 55 Cr. Nannaku Prematho is expected to do box office wonders, as NTR did not have a 50 Cr film in AP & TG, as yet. Also, since the war is among the Nandamuri heroes, fans are sensitive towards the result of the film this time.
Though a lot of financial problems were reported just before the release, the film had a smooth release and only a few premieres in USA got affected. Stay tuned to this space for more box office updates.

Umbrella strollers are the lightest and most portable baby strollers in the market. These kinds of strollers are very easy to fold so they can be carried on a train or stashed at the back of a vehicle. They are easier to maneuver in crowded spaces and that's one more reason why they have become such a favorite among urban parents now.
These strollers can usually be folded the same way an umbrella does. However, there are a few models that fold in half allowing them to become an even more compact model. These strollers are best for babies who are at least six months of age, as the seats don't recline to fully flat. Thus, babies who sit here should already be able to hold his head.
Now, let's take a look at our umbrella stroller reviews.
Here are some of the finest umbrella strollers that you can find.
1. Chicco Capri Lightweight Stroller – The Lightest Umbrella Stroller
This model comes with a canopy and cargo basket. You can choose from any of the four colors: black, tangerine, topazio, and cilantro.
The Chicco Capri is an ultra lightweight and rugged umbrella stroller that has been designed in Italy. It weighs just 11 pounds (so this is one of the lightest umbrella stroller) but you will find many advanced features that are usually seen in full-size regular models.
Its product dimensions are 33.5 inches by 19 inches by 39 inches and it is made of aluminum. The front wheels suspension is very efficient and allows you to take the stroller in even rough terrain. The wheels can stay fixed or can swivel as needed. The Chicco comes with a 5-point safety harness system. The extra padding makes it comfortable and the shoulder strap will keep your baby safe in position. However, there is just a single recline position. The Chicco Capri is definitely a nice purchase.

2. Summer Infant 3D Lite Convenience Stroller
The Summer Infant 3D lite is among the most popular umbrella strollers in the Amazon web store at this time and weighs just 12 pounds. Its aluminum frame is extremely stylish and ,yet, it makes this model very sturdy and lightweight. The frame comes with a one year limited warranty. There is a carry strap, too, for ease of taking along. You can expect to use it for as long as your child needs it. The Infant 3D can probably be stored away for a second child later, too, and won't take up a lot of your space.
The front wheels have anti-shock features while the rear wheels can be locked to improve safety. There is a large seating area for your baby and it can be reclined to more than one position. The 5-point safety harness keeps your child safe always. You will be able adjust or even remove the canopy completely as well. Most moms have find its rear storage pocket most convenient for storing a lot of things. Plus, there is the large storage basket, too.

3. Graco Breaze Click Connect Stroller
This umbrella stroller is perfect for infants up to 50 pounds and those who are at least 6 months of age. Parents will be happy as it is durable. The infant is happy, too, as it is very comfortable thanks to the additional padding and wider seat base. All eight wheels are larger in size, which means that this product is safer and glides over any surface easily. The 5-point harness makes it even safer. Rear wheel brakes keep it in place always. At 20.4 pounds, this is again one of the lightest umbrella stroller you are sure to love. You will rarely find something better anywhere else.
The Graco Breaze Click Connect Stroller has taller handles that reclines in many positions. You won't ever hit the back of the wheels which would result to waking up the infant suddenly. Sunny or cloudy, you can keep your baby protected with the removable and adjustable canopy; you can always provide shade when you need to. Just use the seat recline feature when your little darling dozes off.
There's a big storage console in this stroller where you can keep all sorts of things like your wallet, keys, water bottles and other things plus a place for diapers below it.\

4. Kolcraft Cloud Plus Lightweight Stroller
This is an extremely travel friendly stroller that weighs just 12 pounds. In fact, it is so lightweight that you might even be able to drive it with just a single hand. You will get most of the features but it still folds compact. When folded, its dimensions are at 18 inches by 12 inches by 34 inches. The front suspension and all-terrain wheels are going to make your ride a smooth one. The Kolcraft Cloud Plus is extremely durable, too, as it is made from steel and polyester. This stroller is JPMA Certified and comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturer.
This model is good for infants up to 50 pounds. Your little one is sure to feel comfortable, thanks to its multiple position seat recline feature. The 5-point safety harness will keep him safe always. It even offers a three tier extended canopy, which is best for maximum sun protection.

5. Delta Children City Street Side by Side Stroller
Parents with two infants will rarely find a better lightweight double stroller than this one. This is extremely lightweight and compact so you will definitely be able to travel with it. The DX is known particularly for its safety, style and convenience. And, with the launch over the Side By Side version, it has now become even better. Both your infants will be seating side-by-side but it will still be able to pass through 30" wide doorways because of its unique design. This forward facing model will allow the passengers to see ahead while making it easy for the parents to maneuver the stroller. It also comes with shock absorbing front wheels that can swivel 360 degrees plus a large sun canopy. And of course, this product is convenient for the parent as it has room for two hanging bags as well as a cup holder.
The City Street Side by Side from Delta is safe, too. Its 3-point harness is going to keep the infants strapped safely and the extra padding makes it comfortable for them.
