Maybach 57 by Couture Customs
One of the most luxurious cars ever developed gets a new tuning package by Couture Customs.
Designed back in 2000 to compete against various Rolls-Royce and Bentley models, it failed to make a name for itself. Later on, Mercedes-Benz killed it off due to lack of sales.
New Couture Customs tried to revive it by giving it Frozen Grey matte wrap, matte black grilles, logos and taillights and a set of Forgiato forged wheels.
Whether you fancy Maybach or not, you must admint this is one killer setup.
DMC Ferrari F12 Berlinetta SPIA Middle East Edition
Submitted by Dan Youn on Sat, 08/10/2013 - 12:43
Remember the SPIA package for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta by DMC? Well, DMC just released a new variation as the Middle East Edition.
The Middle East Edition is not much different to the original SPIA package. The Berlinetta will still sport the carbon fiber kits all around. There is an addition of a roof scoop and an extended middle strip which will be matte black. DMC also gave it titanium exhausts and made some tweaks to the ECU raising the HP of the Berlinetta from 740 HP (544 kW) to 766 HP (563 kW), increasing the top speed from 211 mph (340 km/h) to 220 mph (354 km/h). All this is sitting on 21-inch wheels at the front and 22-inch wheels at the rear.

The new package also include carbon fiber bonnet and mirrors. New sports exhaust system with triple tailpipes also gives it more extreme look, to go with the bodykit.

The car is sitting low on the new black coated alloy wheels. Interior is also changed, in black and white style. Another set of carbon fiber assets completes two-tone leather upholstery.
Nissan 370Z by Senner Tuning
German auto tuner Senner Tuning enriches already rich tuning market for NIssan 370Z with another tuning kit.
The kit consists of both cosmetic and power upgrades. Cosmetic upgrades feature front lip and numerous carbon fiber details for engine bay and interior details. The ride is sitting on new 20-inch black alloy wheels and it's closer to the ground thanks to the KW 3 sport suspensions.
The power is upgraded to 368 HP and 406 Nm of torque thanks to the tweaked ECU, new Injen cold air intake and 400-cell sport catalyst exhaust system.
Mercedes E-Class and Toyota Crown by Wald International
After fitting the same type of kit on the Audi A7 Sportback, Wald International continues to do amazing transformations on both 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and 2014 Toyota Crown.
The kit consists of black color scheme and facelifted front bumper with many small aero details completing the set of very agressive-looking body kit. The cars will also sit on lowered suspensions and larger black alloy wheels.
The rumors are that Wald International is also working on increased power output on both cars.

Alfonda Madison just can't seem to stay out of Youngstown and Mahoning County courtrooms.
Madison, 25, of Dearborn Avenue, is now wanted on three aggravated-robbery warrants and a warrant for illegal possession of a firearm.
The four arrest warrants stem from an incident Tuesday in which Madison and another man are accused of forcing their way into a Victor Street home on the East Side while armed with a shotgun.
Madison, this week, was called to testify as a witness for the state in the murder trial of Lorenza Barnette, 29, of Lora Avenue. Barnette and two other men are charged with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and arson in the Aug. 11, 2009, deaths of Jaron L. Roland, 20, of Fairmont Avenue, and his cousin, Darry B. Woods-Burt Jr., 19, of the city's North Side.
The aggravated robbery took place just before 10 p.m. at the Victor Street home of a 27-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman. There were also six small children in the house at the time of the incident.
According to police reports, two men knocked on the door of the home and then forced their way inside brandishing a handgun and a shotgun. The intruders repeatedly ordered the man and woman to hand over money and, at one point, pointed the gun at the man's head and threatened his life.
A 14-year-old boy inside the house hid in a bathroom and called police. The intruders ran out a back door when they realized police had been alerted.
The aggravated robbery and court testimony all took place while Madison is free awaiting sentencing on a previous aggravated-assault conviction.
He pleaded guilty to the aggravated-assault charge in a plea agreement with the Mahoning County Prosecutor's office.
The charges stem from a 2010 incident in which prosecutors say Madison and several co-defendants shot a child in both legs while she sat in the back seat of a relative's car at a convenience store on Logan Avenue.
Witnesses told police a tan vehicle containing four men drove down Saranac Avenue west of Logan with someone firing shots at the car containing the child.
Family members said the child and other family members had been headed to a local swimming pool. The family had piled into several cars to go to the recreation facility.
Madison, before entering into the plea agreement, was free on a $50,000 bond but ended up back in common pleas court and ultimately back in jail because he could not follow the rules placed upon him while out on bond.
As a part of his bond, Madison was placed on electronically monitored house arrest where his movements were limited to his home. Court documents say Madison violated his requirement to stay home on numerous occasions.
Judge James C. Evans of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court issued an arrest warrant for Madison on Oct. 29, 2010. The judge then ordered he be jailed without bond.
Authorities could not explain how Madison was released from jail after entering into the plea agreement.
Madison also pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice earlier this year.
Who was his Lawyer and who was the Judge that allowed this 'piece of work' to be on the streets?
Who names these chillens?
lefty I agree -- these wanna be gangster's (parents??) give them some really European sounding names sometimes. That said, I doubt the biological father(s) even know they have a "kid" named Alfonso.
Check Bill Cosby book and TV interviews on this very subject. Also, it is apparent that "the state's witness" will hardly be taken seriously at trial, and why "several" home monitoring violations? ONE should have sent him back "in" - courts and prosecutors are a joke, and evidently this guy assumed since he was a state witness he was free to violate since he has a "deal" .. pathetic.
It takes ONE of these (repeated DAILY) stories in "The Valley" to offset TEN good stories, good luck attracting companies chamber, better get a good PR consultant
Alfonda Madison who is the darling of the prosecutor's office will no doubt get another free pass . . . ..
The prosecutor's office should be fired for repeated "screw ups" with violent criminals, they repeatedly let loose or release violent people and they seldon win a verdict in court because of inept leadership....Gains is a clown and is incompetent!
"As a part of his bond, Madison was placed on electronically monitored house arrest where his movements were limited to his home. Court documents say Madison violated his requirement to stay home on numerous occasions.

The problem here is, as usual, the judges and the prosecutors office who can't seem to keep criminals in jail. This professional criminal should be put away for as long as the law will allow. With our inept judges and prosecutors, that is just not going to happen. Our only recourse is to fix this problem on election day, but I'm not very hopeful.
Bring back the stocks, lashings, and pay-per view executions wouldn't be a bad idea. Our jail system is a joke. The only thing that gets these brats attention is another bullet to the head.All law abiding citizens should get a carry and conceal, and proudly show your piece. gutter punks always think twice when your gun is ready to use, they have to pull up their pants to get to it, and generally cant fire straight. anyway.
I am fed up with the losers in offices around here.
Judge Evans needs to go bye byes also.
How does a POS repeat thug like this post a $50k bond?
The answer is, the dumb idiots running the Courts here let this moron out on his own, no bond needed:
Now look at what follows:
02/04/2011 MOTION TO PERMIT OUT OF STATE RESIDENCE FILED BY DEFT Attorney: LAVELLE, MARK (61904)
07/18/2011 MOTION TO REVOKE BOND FILED BY PLNTF Attorney: KRUEGER, DAWN (74983)
If there was a motion to revoke bond in July, why wasn't a hearing held immediately? It's been 3 months since then.
/ Authorities could not explain how Madison was released from jail after entering into the plea agreement. /
Fire the f'n losers and corrupt co-conspirators in offices Downtown.
Where's the accountability in this County? There isn't any.
What kind of POS shoots people sitting in a car? Children at that?
Takes a special breed of losers to plea those sorts of cases down to minor infractions and allow the accused and those who plead guilty to roam around freely outside, under minimal to no supervision.
Was this another person sent to that scam, CCA? CCA seems to be in the middle of many of these cases.
While we are discussing Alfonda, his name seems familiar.
Wasn't his father Alfonda Sr? Killed by Willie WIlliams in 1991 Labor Day Massacre?
Willie Williams murder of four folks in 1991 was over local drug wars.
As folks might remember, Williams broke out of jail and was on the run for a while.
"Williams surrendered to authorities in early 1992 after he and other accomplices armed with guns and explosives invaded the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center"
These are the types of people we are dealing with and their bastard offspring.
Everyone needs to read this. This shows clearly how the Mahoning County justice system is a FAILURE AND HAS BEEN FOR DECADES.
Alfonda Sr's killer had quite a record. Ironically, his charges in Mahoning County were mainly dropped. If Mahoning County would had adequately prosecuted the serial killer WIlliams, he likely never would have been on the streets to kill the four he did.

Williams had returned to his hometown of Youngstown in 1991 after serving a prison stint in California for dealing cocaine and sought to reclaim control of drug sales in a public housing project (Kimmelbrooks housing project.). In one brazen move, Williams went to the local police station and tried unsuccessfully to gain information about local drug dealers. In what became known as the "Labor Day Massacre," Williams recruited three juvenile accomplices: his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Jessica M. Cherry; her brother, Dominic M. Cherry; and Dominic Cherry's seventeen-year-old "cousin",Broderick Boone to set up the three men who had taken over the drug trade. Williams equipped the juveniles with walkie-talkies, guns, and diagrams of the home of one of his rivals. The juveniles entered the home and subdued Madison, the Williams eneterd. Two others were lured to the location. William Dent, Alfonda Madison and Eric Howard were bound, along with a friend who came to visit, recently discharged Air Force Sgt. Theodore Wynn. Williams strangled Madison and Wynn, and then instructed Jessica to turn up the stereo. Going from room to room, Williams shot each of the four victims in the head with Madison's gun. Shortly after his arrest as a suspect in the murders, Williams and a group of other inmates escaped from a county jail. A few months later, he broke into a juvenile jail where his three accomplices in the murders were being held, apparently intending to kill them because they had cooperated with police. Williams took a guard and a receptionist hostage but was unable to get in and eventually surrendered peacefully.

Japan Bonds Drop for Eighth Week on U.S. Recovery Signs, Stocks
Japan's 10-year bonds declined for an eighth week, the longest stretch since April 2006, as signs the U.S. economic recovery is gaining momentum damped demand for the relative safety of debt.
Benchmark 10-year yields were at a five-month high as local stocks headed for a fifth-weekly gain and before data that may show U.S. employers added jobs for a second month. Japan's 30-year bonds completed a weekly loss on speculation investors reduced holdings to prepare for an auction next week.
"Investors don't want to make big moves today before the U.S. jobs data," said Akio Kato, Tokyo-based team leader for Japanese debt at Kokusai Asset Management Co., which runs the $36.6 billion Global Sovereign Open fund. "They are hesitant to buy bonds now because they may be able to get them cheaper later. Market sentiment continues to be negative for bonds."
The yield on the 1.2 percent bond due December 2020 rose half a basis point to 1.205 percent as of 3:01 p.m. in Tokyo at Japan Bond Trading Co., the nation's largest interdealer debt broker. The price fell 0.045 yen to 99.955 yen. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
The yield is at the highest since June 22 and has increased 1.5 basis points this week.
Ten-year bond futures for December delivery fell 0.06 to 140.88 as of the afternoon close at the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
U.S. Jobs
U.S. payrolls rose by 150,000 in November after increasing by 151,000 the previous month, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists before today's Labor Department report. Earlier this week, a report by ADP Employer Services showed businesses added 93,000 workers to payrolls in November, the most in three years.
"Upcoming U.S. jobs data are likely to weigh on investor appetite to buy new 10-year bonds on dips with 1.2 percent yields," Kazuhiko Sano, chief strategist at Tokai Tokyo Securities Co., wrote today in a note to clients.
An auction of 10-year bonds on Dec. 1 drew bids for 2.41 times the amount on offer, the lowest so-called bid-to-cover ratio since July 2009.
The Ministry of Finance will sell 600 billion yen ($7.2 billion) of 30-year securities on Dec. 7. Primary dealers, which are required to bid at government debt sales, often reduce holdings of bonds in case prices decline before they can pass on the new securities to investors. Thirty-year rates gained 2.5 basis points to 2.105 percent this week.
Japan's government bonds have handed investors a 1.8 percent return this year, according to an index compiled by Merrill Lynch & Co.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average rose 0.1 percent today and advanced 1.4 percent this week. Treasury 10-year yields yesterday climbed above 3 percent for the first time since July.
Japan's 10-year yields may rise to 1.3 percent by the end of this month, according to Kokusai's Kato. Should his forecast prove accurate, investors who buy the securities will incur a 0.8 percent loss, Bloomberg calculations show.
Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News expect yields to be 1.06 percent at the end of this year. The estimate puts a heavier weighting on more recent forecasts.

That was a great holiday. We spent one week in Palma de Mallorca. House was very clean and quiet. Flat it's in centrum of Palma, in very safe area. We used everything at home fridge, freezer, microwave, gas stove... Kitty and Miguel are a friendly and helpfull people. If I'll back to Palma definitely I'll stay again in the same flat. I recommend for 100 %.
We had a wonderful stay at Miquelen and Kath Alena. The freedom in the use of kitchen and living room and the awful kindness and interest of these people made us feel welcome. Located in the center of Palma, good connection to the motorway and within walking distance of the station. Recommended!

Reality and Journalism
Somebody over at the Economist thinks — or rather hopes — that contrarianism is dead:
The first time I ever encountered an argument that I would now clearly recognise as "contrarian" was in elementary school, during Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign, when I first heard someone argue the supply-side case that lowering taxes would raise government revenues. Another early encounter I recall was my father describing a social scientist interviewed on NPR who'd argued that the main effect of minimum-wage laws was to raise the unemployment level for poor urban youth.
....Here's the thing: as history progresses, things change. And societies try to adapt to those changes. Experts come up with solutions to the problems the societies face. Those solutions often entail discomfiting established interest groups. And the solutions the experts come up with almost always entail some degree of perverse counterreaction, some kinds of problems or inefficiencies or whatever. It can be very interesting to focus on those counterreactions; it can generate fascinating, eye-grabbing journalism.
But in the overwhelming majority of cases, the counterreactions aren't as big as the first-order effects of the solutions. The minimum wage may price a few people out of the labour market, but it mostly raises low-income people's wages. Raising marginal income taxes does slightly lower rich people's incentives to generate income, but it mostly raises government revenue. In other words, the little contrarian thing is almost never anywhere near as important as the big first-order thing it rides on. And as journalism has come increasingly to focus on contrarianism, it has become less and less adept at actually describing the world.
I guess I agree but I'd put things slightly differently. Contrarianism is genuinely useful, and I'd hate to see it go away. Conventional wisdom, whether it's mine or someone else's, deserves pushback.
The problem with modern contrarianism is that it's lazy. Too often, it's the sole focus of a piece, and it's the focus for reasons purely of entertainment or ideology. Which is too bad, because the kind of journalism that's most useful is the kind that explains both first order things and counterreactions and doesn't pander to readers' desires to pretend that the world is simpler than it really is. After all, counterreactions may usually be less important than first-order effects, but they're still worth investigating. Some tax cuts really don't raise as much revenue as you'd think. Raising the minimum wage really can have perverse effects in specific slices of the economy. If you're genuinely interested in knowing how the world works, you want to know this.
And that's what seems to be missing in an awful lot of modern journalism: the desire to genuinely try to puzzle out how things work. Instead, we get writing so dedicated to either ideology or entertainment that it's satisfied to cherry pick contrarian arguments and leave it at that; or else mainstream he-said-she-said journalism that's so determined not to take a stand that it enlightens no one.
But the world is a complicated place. It just is. There are first order effects, counterreactions to first order effects, and counterreactions to counterreactions. And there are whole big chunks of the world that stand entirely aside even from that. If you want to explain what's really going on, you need to take in all of this, and you need to take all of it seriously on its own merits, and then you need to try to make sense of it all. You can't just ignore or brush aside everything that would inconveniently make your narrative a little messier or harder to understand. (I'm looking at you, Malcolm Gladwell.) You have to respect your readers enough to assume they'll stick around even when the ride gets a little bumpy.
Sadly, less and less journalism aspires to that today. To my dismay, fewer and fewer books aspire to it either. It makes the world a shallower, less interesting thing.

Leavening the sex with a dollop of needed humor, director Warner's Young Memories is a cut above the dross out there. The guys are young and reasonably cute, although the goofus with the buck teeth is a bit much. There's J.O., the regular fuck'n'-suck is fine, some performers have long hair, some short hair, none can ad lib worth a damn. Few are what you'd call top-of-the-line, and the repeating shots may be due to one of them unable to sustain his erection. So did I.
Adams and Angel have a nice sex scene. The best you can say is that it's amateur-looking in the technique but rather nice all the same.

Evening everyone,
I am using the standard Kubrick template with WordPress 2.1.1. I erased the background images because i wanted to edit my own styles.
My idea was to have the background in a different color than the header, content frame, sidebar and footer. Easy thing, I thought, there is the "page" div
<div id="page">
that includes all the main divs. It does so in the source code.
However, the styles i apply in the stylesheet for the page div (#page) won't appear on my website. According to the source code everything seems correct. The "page" div is the first to be opened after the body-tag and the last to close. So why doesn't that style show?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

In tactical military networks, decisions must often be made quickly based on information at hand. It is a challenge to provide decision makers with a notion of the quality of the information they have, or to provide a method by which decision makers can specify a required quality of information. It is a further challenge to honor requests for a required quality of information when selecting information sources, transporting information through a highly-dynamic network, and perhaps performing processing on that information. In this paper we motivate the need for a general, but formal, definition of quality-of-information so that this metric may be specified and potentially optimized by algorithms that operate a tactical network. Furthermore, we define a new notion, the operational information content capacity, to capture the amount and quality of information that a network can deliver.

MEDINA, Ohio (August 23, 2013)—Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio is seeking a court order to give an attorney limited guardianship over a 10-year-old Amish girl with leukemia whose parents decided to stop the girl's chemotherapy.
A juvenile judge blocked Akron Children's Hospital's request to allow an attorney who's also a registered nurse to make medical decisions for the girl and the hospital is appealing the ruling.
The judge ruled in late July that the girl's parents can make medical decisions for her because there's no evidence they are unfit.
The parents initially allowed chemotherapy treatment, but stopped after their daughter begged them to.
Her parents say the treatment's effects were terrible and say they're now using "natural" medicines, such as herbs and vitamins.
The hospital says the girl will die without chemotherapy.

A Matlab Toolbox for the Analysis of Ando's Factors
The autocorrelation and crosscorrelation functions analysis, as well-known in literature, allows to obtain remarkable results in different scientific fields. The autocorrelation function (ACF) and the interaural crosscorrelation function (IACF) analysis in architectural acoustics is known thanks to Y. Ando's work. The Toolbox presented in this work has been developed in order to compute Ando's significant and spatial factors (as the factors obtained from ACF and IACF are called), to subjective preference functions and to investigate further applications.

Economic and fiscal policy minister Akira Amari said Sunday it will be difficult to implement the planned hike in the consumption tax to 10 percent in October 2015 if the previous hike to 8 percent next April causes an economic downturn.
"There will be no following" sales tax hike if the 8 percent hike ends in failure, Amari said on a TV program. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe "has concerns that a failure would prevent the government from touching on the sales tax issue for the next 15 years."
Abe is expected to announce the first stage of the sales tax hike on Tuesday, with the aim of increasing revenues to cover swelling social security costs for Japan's aging population.
Meanwhile, Amari indicated that Tokyo, as the host of the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, will be designated as a special district to promote national strategies, where deregulation will be promoted.
"Taking advantage of hosting the Olympics, environments should be arranged in Tokyo as a major base for business and tourism," he said.

text: Constellation Brands Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. My final earnings short-squeeze trade idea is alcoholic beverages producer Constellation Brands ( STZ), which is set to release numbers on Friday before the market open. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Constellation Brands to report revenue of $710.09 million on earnings of 54 cents per share. This stock has been uptrending extremely strong so far in 2012, with shares up a whopping 60%. This bullish price action has pushed shares of Constellation Brands within one point of its 52-week high of $34.20 ahead of its report. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Constellation Brands sits at 1.9%. That means that out of the 147.45 million shares in the tradable float, 2.82 million shares are sold short by the bears. From a technical perspective, STZ is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been trending sideways for the past month and change, between $32 and $34.20 a share. If we get a move topside of that trading pattern post-earnings, then we will likely see the next major trend for STZ develop. If you're in the bull camp on STZ, then I would wait until after its earnings report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $34.16 to $34.20 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average action of 2.8 million shares. If we get that breakout, then look for STZ to possibly hit $40 a share or higher post-earnings. I would simply avoid STZ or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then moves back below some near-term support $32 to $31.61 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then STZ will setup to re-test or possibly take out its next significant support levels at $29 to $28 a share.

Vermont's unemployment rate dips a bitJanuary 18,2013Vermont's seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for December dipped one-tenth of a percent from the prior month to 5.1 percent, the state Department of Labor reported Friday.
The national unemployment rate for December was 7.8 percent.
"The Vermont economy had a strong ending to 2012," Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan said in a statement. "The preliminary estimate of the annual 2012 unemployment rate is 5 percent, more than a full half of a percent lower than 2011."
Noonan said that the state gained 3,000 jobs last year.
She went on to say that while the "economic recovery, nationally and on the state level, has been slower than prior recessions" the 2012 data point to an improved economy.
"We are optimistic that economic growth will continue in Vermont as businesses and job seekers gain confidence," she said.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

The area also boasts many up-market serviced apartments and a variety of fine restaurants serving up excellent local and international cuisine.
Sathorn Street runs all the way to the riverside and is accessible via the BTS Skytrain at Chong Nonsi, Surasak and Saphan Taksin. Often considered a 'watered down' version of Silom, Sathorn is ideal for those seeking peace and privacy away from the downtown commotion.

It works great but trying to add your own CSS was really not a piece of cake. The HTML structure of the timer made it hard to customize. If the digits had been in a div, it would be so much easier!
Love the design and responsiveness but the memory load is a bit too much on my server.
People that can understand this plugin would probably rate it 5 stars, but I admit that can't.
Looks and works well in a sitewide widget, but I can't figure out the configuration for a page - Would be nice if the widgets we create for a page would SHOW me the shortcode so we could copy / paste, but my programmers not around.
I read the documentation and it's overwhelming for dummy users like me with so many options - It looks nice but I moved on looking for one easier to configure and place on a single page or post...
Really love what this plugin does and how easy they make it. Saves me tons of time, trouble, and mistakes from the old manual javascript coding I was so good at screwing up. My only issue is that 95% of the awesomeness is free, while they want $30 for the other 5%.
You see, I have no problem paying $30 to get a lot of extra features. In fact, if the free version only had one skin, showed all time units regardless of the need for them, and came in only one size, I'd happily pay $30 to get the additional skins & sizes, remove months from showing, and be able to schedule recurring countdowns. Problem is that I can do everything but the recurring schedule bit for free. It's just not worth it when I can easily spend just five seconds changing the date to restart the countdown. If I'm going to pay, it's not going to be for one unnecessary feature.

A sensitive single-beam technique for measuring both the nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient for a wide variety of materials is reported. The authors describe the experimental details and present a comprehensive theoretical analysis including cases where nonlinear refraction is accompanied by nonlinear absorption. In these experiments, the transmittance of a sample is measured through a finite aperture in the far field as the sample is moved along the propagation path (z) of a focused Gaussian beam. The sign and magnitude of the nonlinear refraction are easily deduced from such a transmittance curve (Z-scan). Employing this technique, a sensitivity of better than λ/300 wavefront distortion is achieved in n 2 measurements of BaF2 using picosecond frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser pulses

Andaz 5th Avenue
The Andaz experience begins the moment you arrive through the bronze-colored doors on 41st Street and are greeted by an Andaz Host. Have a drink in the lounge while checking in via handheld PC, or simply en-route to your room. Arrival is at your pace, your style.The interior of Andaz 5th Avenue is inspired by New York City. Within the limestone and brick façade of the historic 1916 Rogers Peet Building – once a men's retail store –Tony Chi has created spaces inspired by the high-ceilings and solidity of the city's pre-war apartments and the moments that characterize the city in the minds of New Yorkers. The ground and second floors are open spaces; a facade of floor-to-ceiling glass framed in limestone echoes the library across the street. The spaces might remind you of the city on a rainy day or the moment right before dawn breaks when the streets are silent, and New York is all yours.Like many of New York's most passionate art-collecting residents, we have curated our spaces with work that evokes the dynamic energy of our locale: 14-foot brilliant vermilion acrylic murals of figures communicating with each other by Carlos Capelán glow like fire through the windows on 41st Street. A white, eight-foot-high white marble and resin Nick Hornby sculpture first appears to be a modernist sculpture, but its real influences from the neighborhood quickly unfold as you "read" it: Look at the sculpture this way, it's a bit of the bronze Gertrude Stein statue from Bryant Park; that way, it's a piece of the urns that flank the New York Public Library; keep looking – it's the Broken Obelisk sculpture by Barnett Newman in the Museum of Modern Art.True to the Andaz brand, Andaz 5th Avenue offers uncomplicated and attentive service by real people who are passionate about New York City, in an ambiance that feels like your own New York apartment. We're as fervent about New York's farms as we are our tiny island city-kingdom: Menus in the shop, bar, and room service are based on our relationships with local farmers and our search for what's fresh and in-season around the state of New York, particularly in the Hudson Valley.Maybe you aren't from around here, but you should feel as if you are. Talk to the chefs at work in the open kitchen, position yourself virtually anywhere to take in an icon of the city or the quiet courtyard; your experience should be whatever it is that you want to create within a venue that is pure New York sophistication.

Sierra Club Currents - Find Clean Air Through the Airwaves
(1) Cool Cities: Cool Summer in NH and IA
As part of its ongoing effort to highlight global warming and smart energy solutions in New Hampshire and Iowa this year, Sierra Club hosted events with "Cool Cities" mayors in both states in the past week. In New Hampshire, Sierra Club brought together the 5 Mayors of Keene, Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, and Rochester as well as representatives from Dover and Hanover for the first ever New Hampshire Mayor's Energy Summit.
In Iowa, Sierra Club worked in conjunction with Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie and others to dozens of mayors, community leaders, businesses, and labor from across Iowa together for a two-day conference focusing on local strategies on energy and global warming.
(2) Technology: Air Quality on Your Cell Phone
Thanks to new technology, you can now get updated air quality reports sent to your cell phone. With one text message you can find out how clean the air is anywhere in the U.S. Here's what you do. Text 415-624-6678, then enter one of the following commands.
*all times must be entered in 24 hour format
(3) Take Action: Stop the Levin Amendment to Undermine Fuel Economy!
The Senate is poised to vote on the energy bill, H.R. 6, which increases fuel economy standards to 35 mpg by 2020. Senator Levin will offer an amendment to undermine this goal and let automakers off the hook. This amendment is full of loopholes for the auto industry, including some that may actually increase fuel consumption.
Call your Senators and urge them to oppose the Levin amendment and any other amendments that will undermine mandatory improvements in fuel economy!
(4) Tell Your Senators: America Needs a Stronger Energy Bill
The Senate considers comprehensive global warming and energy legislation this week. This is an opportunity to move the country in a new direction -- one that curbs global warming, cuts our dependence on oil, and creates a new clean energy economy.
Don't wait. Call your Senators and tell them we need a stronger energy bill now!
Currents is the Sierra Club's weekly e-mail update providing you with facts, stories, quotes, and "take action" features.

Was trying to edit the meta-wrap that appears underneath blog posts. I like the date, and someday I want to put the name back on there, but for not want to get rid of the category and the "No Comments" part.
I've gotten rid of the icons by just cheating and throwing a display:none into the CSS for them, but I'd really like to find what file is actually rendering the meta-wrap and just edit that to include/not include what I want.
Blog URL: http://www.tipsformarketers.com
Anyone know what file in terrifico renders this? I thought it maybe was themes > Terriffico > Functions > framework-functions.php and I found this:
if ( $blog_title_color !='' )
$output .= '#respond, #post-article .link-box a, #post-article .quote-author, #post-article .quote-text ,#post-article .meta-wrap a, #post-article .meta-wrap, #post-article .blog-title, #post-article .title-meta .blog-socials a, #post-article .title-meta .blog-posted-by .icon-user, #post-article .title-meta .blog-posted-by a {color:' . $blog_title_color .

$output .= '.title-meta {border-top: 5px solid' . $blog_title_color . ' !important}' . "\n";
$output .= '#post-article .title-meta .left-border {border-left: 1px solid' . $blog_title_color . ' !important}' . "\n";
on lines 160-163, but I'm not skilled enough to tell if this is what I'm looking for, and if so, how to edit it to not display the comments and the category.
Any help is appreciated!

They don't leave you asking for more when you visit Fort Michilimackinac! Your tour starts with a 13 minute video of the history of the fort--all with costumed re-enactments. Your walk to the pallisades of the fort take you right along the shore of Lake Michigan right next to the Mackinac Bridge (the entrance to the fort and the gift shop is UNDER the bridge!) Those views alone are breath-taking! There are many buildings within the fort that have been faithfully reconstructed, and many costumed interpreters are about "living life" as they would in the late 1700's. We visit yearly, and have never heard or saw the same story twice from these wonderful historians. Redcoat soldiers fire cannons and shoot salutes with black-powder guns, plus music is a lively addition. There is an underground archaelogical museum which gives you the thorough history of the fort's excavation process with artifacts, and another underground "firearms of the frontier" display. The "Kid's Quarters" is a fantastic display geared towards children, and includes hands-on activites for them (my children like to lock their dad in the "Black Hole.") The thing that I appreciate is that despite visiting every year for five years, we enjoy it each time!

Whoa, lets not get ahead of ourselves! There isn't even a Nu Gundam statue yet! Lets have an MS-06S command-type first! A red one!
Gundam makes me so happy, because it was the first anime I ever watched and got me hooked on anime.
life size gundam
The power balance in the world will collapse with these arms! HAHAHA!!
Quick call james cameron! If he can invent the na'vi and pandora he can fix up something that can fight robots!
I would love if they brought that statue over to America for a while!

GUNDAM was dismantled and, to our regret, disappeared from the park. Only the head of GUNDAM was exhibited in Tokyo Game Show from September 24 to the 27th. I wish to be exhibited by somewhere again...
That is disappointing.T.T
But I enjoyed all the photos I've seen so far.
Gundam looked really cool!

The sun may set on Shoreside GUNDAM,
but the people flock to stand in it's shadow.
