What is needed to set up my SoundTouch speaker?
All you need is a home Wi-Fi® network and a smartphone or tablet. Everything else required is included in the box.
Does the speaker have a battery?
No, it does not have a battery.
What Internet streaming services can I play?
SoundTouch speakers let you play Internet music services like Spotify®, Pandora®, iHeartRadio™, Deezer, TuneIn, Sirius and Amazon Music. (where available)
Can SoundTouch speakers be used in a public Wi-Fi® spot (airports, coffee shops etc.)?
No. Although most of these networks are free to use, their sign-up/sign-in processes differ from the SoundTouch app setup process. SoundTouch products are designed for use at home, not on the go.
Can I play music stored on my computer?
Yes. SoundTouch speakers can play music stored on your computer that is managed by iTunes or Windows Media Player.
How many speakers can I have on my network at one time?
It depends on the bandwidth of your home Wi-Fi® network. For most homes, we expect that you can have up to four speakers connected wirelessly. For more than four rooms, we recommend using Ethernet wired connections to some of them.
Can I stream different music to different rooms?
Yes, if you have multiple SoundTouch products, you can stream different music in different rooms, the same music in every room or customise zones to play what you want where you want.
What operating systems are compatible with the SoundTouch app?
The app is compatible with Windows® 7, 8 and 10; 64-bit Macs running OS X 10.8 and later; any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 8.2 and later; and Android devices running Android 4.4 and later.
What are the differences between the SoundTouch 10, 20 and 30 wireless speakers?
Even though the SoundTouch 10, 20 and 30 all offer Wi-Fi® connectivity, Bluetooth® connectivity and effortless one-touch presets to access your favourite streaming music, they each provide different levels of performance for different-sized rooms in your home. The SoundTouch 10 is our smallest SoundTouch speaker that delivers full, rich sound and Bose performance that seems to defy its size. The SoundTouch 20 is a compact, wireless speaker that delivers clear, room-filling sound. The SoundTouch 30 is our best-performing, one-piece wireless speaker with Bose waveguide speaker technology that produces deep, rich sound to fill your largest room. Another difference is that both the SoundTouch 20 and 30 display in-depth song, artist, station and connectivity information on an OLED screen, whereas the SoundTouch 10 displays simple connectivity information via four LEDs on the front of the product.
Can I play stored music from a NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive on SoundTouch speakers?
Yes, SoundTouch speakers are compatible with selected NAS drives, including Synology's DiskStation, Passport + and Western Digital's My Cloud™, so you can stream your personal music library even while your computer is off.
Can SoundTouch speakers stream AM/FM radio or TV audio from one room to another?
Yes. SoundTouch speakers can stream Internet radio stations through a TuneIn app integration.
Does the system support Bluetooth®?
Yes. Users can wirelessly stream music from a Bluetooth® device to listen to even more sources, such as YouTube.
Can I stream music from multiple computers using SoundTouch speakers?
Yes, as long as each computer has the SoundTouch app installed on it. Each computer appears as a separate library on the app's source list.
Do the speakers support near-field communications?
No. SoundTouch speakers support Bluetooth® connectivity pairing via the physical buttons on the speaker or the controller app.
Does the speaker support AirPlay?
No. Current speakers no longer support AirPlay. However, previous-generation SoundTouch 20 and 30 speakers will continue to support it.
Can two SoundTouch 10 speakers be stereo paired?
Yes, with two SoundTouch 10 speakers, you can separate left- and right-channel audio to form a stereo pair, thus creating a wider, more natural sound field.
Can SoundTouch speakers be used together?
Yes. Any one of these speakers can be used with another speaker (from the current series or from a previous series) to create a multi-room audio speaker.

Jimmy Vesey is one of three ECAC players to be named to the U.S. Junior National Team (Photo Courtesy: USA Hockey/Nancie Battaglia).
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Harvard men's hockey rookie forward Jimmy Vesey has been named to the U.S. National Junior Team preliminary roster, USA Hockey announced Tuesday morning. Vesey is one of three ECAC Hockey players to be named to the prestigious squad.
Vesey was one of three Harvard players to attend the U.S. National Junior Evaluation Camp Aug. 4-11 in Lake Placid, N.Y., along with classmate Brian Hart and sophomore Colin Blackwell. Vesey made the final camp roster and finished the event with two points in three games on a goal and an assist. The North Reading, Mass., native helped his cause with a promising start to his collegiate career, as he leads Harvard in points (eight) and goals (five) and ranks in the top 10 nationally in goals per game (0.71) and points per game among rookies (1.14).
The 27-player preliminary roster will attend a training camp Dec. 16-18 at the New York Rangers' Madison Square Garden Training Center in Tarrytown, N.Y., with an additional camp being held days later in Helsinki, Finland. The final roster will be comprised of 23 players and will be finalized Dec. 23. The squad is set to compete in the IIHF World Junior Championship Dec. 26, 2012- Jan. 5, 2013 in Ufa, Russia.
U.S. Junior National head coach Phil Housley and team general manager Jim Johannson will be available for comment in an 11 a.m. press conference, hosted by USA Hockey.

Ford Kuga PLUSH IN THE SLUSH (62/100)
Ford's Kuga is at its smartest in plush Vignale guise. Jonathan Crouch looks at what's on offer.
Ten Second Review
The Ford Kuga has sharpened up its act to the point where the Blue Oval brand thinks that this better-specced, more exclusive 'Vignale' version might even appeal to buyers of premium brand SUV Crossovers. Enhancements include a much nicer cabin and more personal dealer service.
'Vignale' is Ford-speak for 'very nice indeed'. The company wants to know just how far it can push the appeal of its mainstream products up-market, hence the availability of this top-spec trim level on Fiesta, Mondeo, S-MAX and Edge models. Here, we're looking at the way it enhances the appeal of the brand's mid-sized Kuga SUV Crossover. This is a car recently much improved with a smarter cabin, extra multi-media technology and a new entry-level 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine. Would you want all of that with a much more exclusive ownership experience? If so, read on....
Driving Experience
The Kuga has long been one of the better SUV Crossover models to drive and this improved second generation model maintains that tradition. Body control is better regulated than it is on most other segment rivals we've tried. Plus the well-weighted power steering and electronic aids like 'Curve Control' and a torque vectoring system for extra cornering grip all add to the confidence you feel behind the wheel. Opt for a model fitted with Ford's 'Intelligent AWD' set-up and you can carry that peace of mind forward into really slippery conditions, this being one of those 4x4 packages that continually monitors your driving environment, optimising traction to direct power between the wheels as required. You'll want to know about engines. Vignale buyers get only one of the petrol engines available in the rest of the range - the 182PS version of the 1.5-litre EcoBoost unit, a variant that comes only with AWD and auto transmission. There's the full range of TDCi diesels on offer though, including the new 120PS 1.5-litre TDCi entry-level diesel powerplant. Most will want to opt for the 2.0-litre TDCi diesel, available with 150PS, manual transmission and front wheel drive. Or 180PS and AWD, with a choice or manual or PowerShift auto gearboxes.
Design and Build
Buyers of this Vignale variant get a slightly smarter front grille and subtle bodystyling changes, plus more exclusive-looking 18-inch alloy wheels and LED tail lamps. Otherwise, the look is the same as that of any other up-pec Kuga, enhanced at the front by Bi-Xenon headlamps that can adapt themselves to road and cimate conditions as you drive. Inside, the cabin's much smarter than it was in previous Kuga models, a hi-tech 8-inch SYNC3 infotainment screen removing a lot of the previous cabin button clutter. This package offers fast activation, large buttons, easy app integration and, perhaps most importantly, functionality that allows you to duplicate the operation of your smartphone onto the central fascia screen via either 'Apple CarPlay' or the 'Mirror Link' 'Android Auto' system. In the back, the central transmission tunnel's usefully low and it's important to note that there's as much room for legs, knees and heads as in the best of this Kuga's rivals. The bench can't feature Volkswagen Tiguan-like sliding functionality, but the backrest does recline for greater comfort on longer journeys. Out back, there's a 456-litre boot.
Market and Model
Kuga Vignale prices start at just over £30,000, which means a £2,000 premium over the best-equipped model in the standard range, the 'Titanium X' variant. As a 'Vignale' buyer, you'll have a 'Relationship Manager' assigned to you to look after your ownership needs, someone who'll be on hand both at your local dealership and via a dedicated hotline. When the time comes for servicing, you'll enjoy a free collection and return service and after every garage visit, your car will get a complementary carwash and premium valet treatment. In addition, as you'd expect, you get more kit on a 'Vignale' variant - things like exclusive two-tone 'Tuxedo' quilted leather upholstery, a rear view camera, LED tail lamps and special finishing inside and out that includes a bespoke body styling kit and a unique front grille. In addition, the SYNC3 infotainment system gets an upgrade to include 3D navigation display and a 9-speaker Sony stereo. There are also Bi-Xenon headlamps with a jet wash, a special 'Vignale' leather steering wheel and an 'Active Park Assist' system that steers you into spaces.
Cost of Ownership
Ford has pulled out all the stops to make this current Kuga more economical. For example, an Active Grille Shutter is fitted to all versions. This closes the front grille, reducing aerodynamic drag when the radiator isn't in need of additional cooling and then reopens it upon demand. Auto-Start-Stop is also standard across the range. Features like an Eco Mode and a Gear Shift Indicator help keep your right boot out of the carpet. All this effort has paid off in terms of efficiency. The 1.5 TDCi powerplant manages 64.2mpg and 115g/km. And the front-driven 2.0 TDCi 150PS model manages 60.1mpg and 122g/km - or 54.3mpg and 135g/km if you order it with AWD, figures duplicated by the top 2.0 TDCi 180PS AWD derivative. Go for the 1.5 EcoBoost 182PS variant and those figures fall only marginally to 37.7mpg and 173g/km.
You're going to really need to want a Ford Kuga to pay this much for one. Ford knows that for the money being asked for 'Vignale' variants of this car, desirable premium-brand rivals await. But to equip one of those to this Ford's standard would probably cost you the best part of an extra £10,000. And then you still wouldn't get the special service the Blue Oval brand promises will come complete with this car. In summary then, an acquired taste but, for the right kind of buyer, potentially a very satisfying one.

Manuel Corpas taken off 40-man roster, but wants to return; Rangers claim Edwar Cabrera
Manuel Corpas, who provided serviceable innings at times for a depleted bullpen last season, was taken off the 40-man roster this week as the Rockies look to create room for prospects, according to a major league source.
Pitchers Jeff Manship and former prospect Edwar Cabrera, who missed all of last season with a shoulder injury, were also outrighted off the 40-man. The Rangers, who have executives that were with the Rockies when he was signed, claimed Cabrera. Manship cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A.
Corpas, who makes his offseason home in Denver, hopes to return to the Rockies. He can be re-signed as a free agent at a lower cost than he would have earned in the arbitration process. Corpas, who turns 31 in December, went 1-2 with a 4.54 in 31 games.

Electronics and the Internal Auditor
Presented before The Institute of Internal Auditors, San Diego Chapter — May 1956
The accelerating trend toward the use of electronic data-processing equipment in the office raises some questions of concern to all auditors — internal or independent.
1. Can we assume that business electronic data processing
(called EDP) will not require a change in our auditing methods or our auditing standards?
2. Under EDP will some documents which are now utilized as
audit-trace media disappear?
3. Does the concentration of many critical operations in one powerful
machine system increase problems of internal control?
4. How much do we really have to know about EDP to do an effective
job of auditing?
As we explore some of the answers to these questions we arrive at some rather startling conclusions.
A review of the applications presently being accomplished on EDPM indicates that the accounting procedures followed are not essentially
different from those of the past. The accounting framework with which we all are familiar has been preserved. Source documents, books of original entry, ledgers, and detailed lists of transactions with their respective summaries form parts of the new system. Under such a framework it seems that our present auditing methods and standards are still valid.
Nevertheless, there will be elements of substantial change. Our evaluations will require modification of our techniques, our examination
schedules will become more exact, and some of our audit thinking will be changed — but, on the whole, our coverage of subject matter and our measures for performance should remain the same.
These conclusions are based on some case studies completed recently where medium- and large-scale electronic data processors are being used for business applications. In each case the approach to EDP has been to transfer to the electronic machines an already highly mechanized accounting application. Under such an approach, the

- Findmypast.com launches into U.S. July 24; seeks to become go-to site for Americans of British and Irish ancestries
- World's second largest genealogy company takes on its biggest rival, with the help of 1,000 unique record collections and 75% annual growth
San Francisco, CA. July 24, 2012: Findmypast.com, a British-owned family history website, is launching into the growing U.S. genealogy market on July 24.
Findmypast is the flagship brand of brightsolid online publishing, a UK and world leader in online genealogy, with 18 million registered users across its family of sites, over a billion genealogical records dating back to 1200 – and a growth rate last year of 75%.
Yet, findmypast.com enters the U.S. market in the role of David facing Goliath in the shape of ancestry.com, the overwhelming market leader and the world's largest genealogy company, with a market capitalization of a billion dollars.
"We're not used to thinking of ourselves as small", says Chris van der Kuyl, CEO of brightsolid, the world's second largest genealogy company. "Our ambitions are big and the launch of findmypast.com is a major market entry. The truth is that it's a growing market, with plenty of room for both of us."
Global demand for genealogy products and services is, indeed, showing "promising growth", found a market report published by Global Industry Analysts in January 2012. The market's growth, it said, is being driven by the demand of over 84 million genealogists, each spending between U.S. $1,000 and US $18,000 a year on the pursuit. "The trend is expected to continue…"
A local contributor to this trend has been the release this year of the records from the 1940 U.S. Census, says Mark Mahaney, analyst and MD of Internet Research at Citigroup Investment Research. But the global, underlying reason is simply the Web. "Genealogy has been very much a niche market in the past because doing the research has been such hard work", says Mahaney. "But the Internet has made it so much easier. You no longer have to travel to search out records. That's been the big change."
The launch of findmypast.com will offer U.S. customers access to not just a wealth of U.S. genealogical records but also a vast overseas collection. The latter includes almost 1,000 [980] unique British, Irish and Australian record collections, with some single collections containing up to 30 million records.
"This sort of added choice and competition has got to benefit U.S. consumers", says van der Kuyl.
Findmypast.com is the new U.S. addition to a global network of findmypast websites – it joins existing findmypast sites in the UK, Ireland and Australia. It has recruited a separate U.S. team, based in a new office in Venice, California.
It is also a participant in the 1940 U.S. Census Community Project, which is currently indexing the 1940 U.S. Census, for viewing on findmypast.com.
The launch of findmypast.com follows growing global demand for the records and functionality offered by findmypast's other sites, says van der Kuyl: "Last year, we had 4.5 million visits to findmypast.co.uk from other countries, led by the U.S., while 55% of findmypast Ireland visits came from outside Ireland."
Findmypast.com will enter the U.S. market, armed with the unique wealth of its British and Irish genealogical records, as well as its unrivalled ease of search technology and its more flexible payment options.
"We aim to become the go-to family history site, first for Americans of British and Irish descent, and eventually for all Americans", says van der Kuyl.
Over 40 million Americans or 13% of the total US population report British ancestry, according to the American Community Survey of 2009, although other estimates put the figure as high as 72 million or nearly a quarter of all Americans. Meanwhile, some 40 million Americans report Irish ancestry.
Findmypast.com will offer customers the chance to buy a "World Subscription", providing access to many unique record sets of particular value to those tracing British or Irish ancestors. These will include:
- The most complete England, Wales and Scotland census collection available anywhere
- The most comprehensive online index of birth, marriage and death records in England and Wales: over 300 million records
- 42 million local parish records, dating back to 1538, and steadily growing
- Passenger lists from ships leaving the UK 1890-1960
- British Army Records 1760-1915
- A fast-growing collection of local UK records dating back to 1700
- Irish vital records dating back to the 13th century, plus millions of unique Irish land, estate, prison and court records
- The British Library's Newspaper Archives, the world's greatest newspaper archive [available via findmypast.com by late 2012]
The U.S. launch of findmypast.com follows the news reported by Bloomberg last month that ancestry.com is seeking buyers. At least one source has mooted brightsolid as a possible candidate.
"We'll always look at the right opportunities to grow the business", says van der Kuyl, "and are also currently negotiating various strategic partnership deals. We are not, however, planning to buy ancestry.com but focusing instead on the U.S. launch of findmypast.com."

Was This American Life duped before?
Mike Daisey's fantastical story about the mistreatment of workers at Foxconn and how he duped This American Life into airing it as fact is now well known. (if somehow you've been under a rock for the last week, here are smart takes by Jack Shafer and Felix Salmon) It may not, however be the first time that This American Life was duped by a con artist.
In fact it might be the third time, as Jack Shafer pointed out after Malcolm Gladwell's "The Moth" story was aired on This American Life, which Gladwell later copped to being not entirely fact based.
A story that This American Life aired back in 1997 involved disgraced former journalist Stephen Glass discussing his time as a psychic. Glass later wrote this story for Harper's February 1998 issue, as Aida Edemariam recounts in a May 2004 story for the Guardian.
The trouble was, in the February 1998 issue, we had just published a piece by Glass, a colourful tale of late nights spent working as a phone psychic. It had been checked by a colleague and had passed muster, but I was set to work, rechecking. The Post's Howard Kurtz returned to the story a week later: "The New Republic has finished sifting through the journalistic wreckage left behind by Stephen Glass and the findings aren't pretty: two-thirds of the 41 stories he wrote for the magazine were at least partially fabricated. Six articles" – and here Kurtz quoted from the New Republic's apology, a half-page model of restraint compared to the Times's 14,000-word mea culpa about its own fabricating journalist Jayson Blair five years later – " 'could be considered entirely or nearly entirely made up'."
Here's the audio of Glass on This American Life:
Here's the full episode that Glass appeared on (h/t Gabriel Snyder)
Hat tip to Duncan Ferguson for bringing the Stephen Glass association to This American Life to my attention.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GOTC from Great gift (even for yourself!) I LOVE this carafe and glass. I bought the set for myself, and I'm getting one as a hostess gift for a friend. I have always hand-washed mine, so I haven't had any cloudiing. Another reviewer noted that it became cloudy from being washed in a dishwasher despite being labeled dishwasher safe.Date published: 2016-07-13Rated 1 out of 5 by mnicks99 from Don't waste your money I bought this to use in our master bedroom. The first thing I noticed is the monogram is extremely light and hardly noticeable. Within approximately one week, the monogramming became noticeably scratched. Despite the description claiming to be dishwasher safe, it became etched and a ring developed around the rim that could not be removed. Also, despite the thickness of the glass itself, both the carafe and the drinking glass chipped easily. In the trash it went.Date published: 2012-05-03
Can I order a replacement glass without the carafe?Hi, Regrettably, we do not offer replacement parts for purchase.Date published: 2019-12-08

Homemade Window Cleaner Recipes & Tips
Making your own window cleaner is easy to do and all you need are simple ingredients that you likely have around the house already (they're often much cheaper to make than buying them and can work just as well too). Here's a bunch of different recipes you can try along with a few tips listed at the bottom to help achieve a streak-free shine.
2 cups rubbing alcohol (70 percent isopropyl)
3/4 gallon of water
–mix together than add
1/2 cup ammonia
1 tsp dish detergent (liquid)
top with water until you have 1 gallon
2 cups water
3 TBS vinegar
1/2 tsp dish detergent (liquid)
1 gallon water
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp dish detergent (liquid)
1 gallon water
1/4 cup vinegar
2 TBS lemon juice
squirt dish detergent (liquid)
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 gallon warm water
2 TBSP cornstarch
1/2 cup household ammonia
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 gallon warm water
- Mix the ingredients in a bucket, make sure cornstarch is thoroughly dissolved before using.
1 gallon water
1 cup vinegar
2 TBS cornstarch
- Mix until cornstarch is thoroughly dissolved.
Store these solutions in spray bottles: (will also work on mirrors)
- One part vinegar added to four parts water
- One cup cold strong black tea with 3 TBS of vinegar
Lemon-Fresh Version
First Published May 3, 2010
Here's a goody sent in by Amanda:
This recipe is for cleaning windows and glass that I've used for years, it brings a nice sparkle & shine so I love it! Only a few ingredients are needed:
- 3 TBS lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cups club soda (you can use water too or a mix of water and club soda but I prefer 100% club soda)
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Pour everything into a spray bottle then shake well before using.
Thanks so much for sharing Amanda!
- Spray with preferred solution then wipe with crumpled newspapers. The newspaper helps prevent streaks.
- Using coffee filters to wipe can also give streak-free results (shared by Brenda in the comment section below).
- Avoid washing when the sun is hot and shining–it will dry too fast and there will be streaks.
- Also wash one side of the glass in an up and down direction, on the other side scrub side to side. This will help determine which side has the streaks that need to be polished out.

Heart block refers to an abnormality in the way
electricity passes through the normal electrical pathways of the heart. The
abnormality "blocks" the electrical impulse from continuing through the normal
pathways and usually results in a slower heart rate.
Heart block can be caused
Heart block is more common in older people and may be the
result of age and a combination of factors listed above. Heart block can occur
in people with heart attacks. When heart attacks cause heart block, it often
goes away on its own. But if the heart attack is extensive, the heart block may
be permanent and require a pacemaker.
The electrical activity
of the heart starts in the
sinoatrial (SA) node in the upper chamber (atrium) and
travels through the
atrioventricular (AV) node to reach the lower chamber
(ventricles). Heart block may occur at any point along this electrical pathway.
Heart block of the AV node can be of several types, and a doctor generally can
diagnose these by looking at the person's
electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG).
First-degree AV block
first-degree block, the electrical impulses take longer to travel between the
upper chamber (atrium) and lower chamber (ventricle) of the heart. This type of
heart rhythm may or may not be associated with a slow heart rate.
does not usually require treatment. But this type of heart block may raise your risk of heart rhythm problems, such as atrial fibrillation.
Second-degree AV block
second-degree heart block, some of the electrical impulses are blocked between
the upper and lower chamber of the heart. These electrical impulses may or may
not have a clear pattern. The blocking of the impulse can come and go, resulting in "dropped heart beats." A second-degree type II block may progress to complete or
third-degree heart block.
heart block can be categorized into two types:
Complete or third-degree block
third-degree heart block, all of the electrical impulses are completely blocked
between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. When this occurs, the atria and ventricles beat at completely different
Complete heart block is caused by the aging process,
medicines, heart attacks, infiltrative heart diseases (amyloidosis,
sarcoidosis), and infectious diseases (endocarditis, Chagas' disease). It may
also occur after heart surgery and can be present from birth
Complete heart block frequently causes symptoms of
lightheadedness or fainting and usually requires the placement of a permanent
pacemaker. People who are born with complete heart block (an uncommon
congenital condition) often have no symptoms and may not need treatment
initially. But eventually they almost always require pacemaker
Bundle branch block can affect the heart's rhythm.
The heart has structures, like wires, that are called bundle branches. They are part of the heart's electrical pathway. When a branch is diseased, it is called "blocked," because the electrical signals can't travel down the branch.
Some people with bundle branch block don't have any symptoms and don't need treatment. But when a block causes the heart to beat too slowly, it can cause symptoms such as tiredness and fainting spells. A pacemaker may be used to get the heartbeat back to normal.

Downtown Long Beach is the most popular part of the city for tourists. The East Village neighborhood serves as a hub for hot dining and nightlife. Locations like the Courtyard Long Beach Downtown put guests in the center of the action.
Though the western half of the city lacks some of the polish of its counterpart, this is the best place for cheap hotels like the Motel 6 Long Beach – International City or Best Western Long Beach. Located near the East Pacific Coast Highway, these destinations offer an excellent jumping off point for local travel.
Take in the stunning architecture of Long Beach in the Belmont Shores and Naples neighborhoods. These areas are primarily residential, with sprawling mansions that offer eye candy for slow driving tours. Hotels in the area are scarce, but the SeaPort Marina Hotel is just across the bridge from Naples Island.
Step back in time and experience the ambience of luxury ocean liner travel as it was in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Never leaving port, a stay aboard the Queen Mary offers the unique opportunity to add a touch of cruise allure to a traditional vacation. Shopping, dining, and a spa are available onboard. The Queen Mary also has tours and exhibits that illuminate her storied history. Many take place after dark, exploring the ship's reputation for being haunted.
Enjoy the ample amenities of a luxury hotel on a reasonable budget by cashing in on rewards programs available at chain hotels in the area. The Hotel Maya DoubleTree by Hilton accepts and awards HHonors points. This location regularly runs seasonal specials that help guests save. The waterfront location of this Mayan themed resort makes it a memorable choice. Complimentary transportation to downtown Long Beach sweetens the deal.
Business travelers can use their points at the Hilton Long Beach & Executive Meeting Center where they'll enjoy a business center, complimentary printing, video conferencing equipment, and spacious meeting rooms.
The Long Beach Airport is the most convenient option for visitors to this city. Jet Blue, US Airways, Alaska Air, and Delta service this airport with nonstop service to thirteen cities. Visitors looking for cheap car rentals in Long Beach will find five major companies located right in the airport. Three Long Beach Transit Bus routes stop by the airport with fares under $2. Nearby hotels like the Long Beach Marriott also offer complimentary airport shuttles.
Though it doesn't offer a shuttle, the Super 8 Long Beach CA is one of the cheapest options near the airport. Amenities like the complimentary SuperStart breakfast help guests save money, as well.
Travelers will find over 1,000 rental options on AirBNB in and around the Long Beach area. Entire apartments are available at prices comparable to most local hotels. Many private rooms are much cheaper than nearby hotels, even in coveted areas near the beach. With low rates and added amenities like full kitchens and laundry, AirBNB rentals are excellent alternatives to traditional hotels, particularly for visitors on a budget.

Well, this is why the internet exists. At the blog Arrested Westeros, Emily Hummel assiduously teases out the parallels between the scheming factions of Game of Thrones and the Bluth clan of Arrested Development by slapping dysfunctional dialogue of the latter on top of the former. The results synchronize delightfully — here's but a sampling.

After getting our new 1994 Suzuki RM 250 started and running, we corrected a few minor problems like the leaky carburetor and the weeping gas tank. A bit of epoxy solved the gas tank problem and we replaced the o-ring on the carburetor float bowl. The slobbering of gas all over the engine ceased with these simple fixes.
Finally, we got ready to ride it in the dirt. To refresh our memory, I dragged out a 1994 issue of Dirt Bike magazine on the RM 250 test. In there, we recalled that the motorcycle had an excellent motor, with ferocious midrange and the ability to rev out strongly, but it was a bit soft on low-end power.
Other Project Lowbucks Stories:
Project Lowbucks, Part 5
Project Lowbucks, Part 4
Project Lowbucks, Part 3
Project Lowbucks, Part 2
Project Lowbucks, Part 1
In the 1994 model, the ports were moved around to provide more midrange to top-end power compared to the 93, and the piston got another ring for better sealing and life. These mods called for a new pipe, and Suzuki built a low-to-mid pipe for '94. Crank bearings were also strengthened, and the clutch cable was replaced with a heftier unit. The crank relocation also called for new clutch and magneto covers. The RM 250 also received cast footpegs, wider fork protectors, longer-wearing brake pads and narrower radiator shrouds. The clutch is so light that you can one-finger it out of every turn and not get tired. Suzuki removed two clutch plates (one each) from the 250 for '94. The throttle has the lightest pull, and the brakes take a light touch.
Suzuki was the first manufacturer to equip its production motocrossers with works forks. The Twin Chamber Showas are of the same design as Team Honda works components of that era. Materials and finish aren't as good or costly as the works pieces, but the RM forks are reasonable facsimiles. Basically, the cartridge is inverted and isolated from slider contaminants, like a shock within the tubes. The fork has the damping oil being separated from the lubricating oil, like a shock within the fork.
As delivered, the RM is softly sprung and bottoms easily. The cure is to crank the compression clicker in. Shock action is also decent. The RM soaks up the small stutter bumps a lot better than it did on previous Suzukis. Suzuki went for a more linear linkage ratio, and it seems to be better on square-edged stuff at the expense of some bottoming on G-outs.
It will hold the inside line in a corner, but getting the bike to hook up under acceleration is another matter. The RM is long, low and stable in the air, but it headshakes some when coming down from speed over rough ground.
The stock engine lost a bit of its snap off of the very bottom, but it has a smoother midrange thrust and more on top. Notice we said smoother; the RM still has the most midrange of any 250 two-stroke of that time frame and can be a handful on slick tracks. Our bike came with a Pro Circuit pipe that gave a whole lot more end than you would have with a stock RM pipe. In fact, wed suggest that you install a Pro Circuit pipe on your Ô94 RM 250 if you have one.
Suzuki recommends a 172 main, 52 pilot, the standard needle in the second position and 1 1/2 turns out on the airscrew, with a gas/oil mixture of 32:1. Ours came too rich, so we leaned the pilot and main one size (50 and 170).
Standard, the RM fork has a .38 spring, 155mm oil height and clickers at 12/10 out. The shock has a 5.0 spring, 100mm of sag and clickers at 10/12. Average-sized riders will want two clicks more compression on the fork and a click more shock compression. Heavier riders will want 0.40 and 5.2 springs with one click more rebound at each end.
You can also pick up some more bottom end by advancing the ignition timing two degrees. With this ignition setting and/or lower gearing, you can pull a higher gear, which unloads the suspension and lets it react to stutter bumps better. THE
All things considered, we must consider Project Lowbucks to be a complete success. We have a total of $243 in the bike. That's it! We checked on the prices of 1994 RM 250 Suzukis and the low blue book price was $1053. On the high-end of the scale, we found the bikes going for about $1500. So there you have it. If you have enough patience and are willing to work some, you could end up with the decent dirt bike for low bucks.

Once the steam has permeated and softened the soiled parts of the oven wall, you can wipe it all away with a damp cloth or sponge to get a shiny, dirt-free surface.
Scrubbing the oven is something which you surely don't enjoy. To help with the cleaning, the inside of Amica microwave ovens is coated with a special Easy Clean enamel without pores and dents, which prevents dirt and grease from collecting.

Nobody likes to pay their energy bills. We care about your home budget and the environment, which is why Amica ovens feature solutions for low power consumption, which means low energy bills. Amica ovens are efficient all around!
You're craving some tasty meatballs. But first, you have to defrost them. No problem! Put them in the oven and activate the Defrosting function. The meatballs are ready in an instant, and you can savour their delectable taste.
It might get dangerous if the burner accidentally goes out. However, not in Amica cookers, which are equipped with a special valve that cuts off the gas supply. Safety above all else!
No more fingers burnt from trying to light the burner with matches or those ever faulty spark lighters. Thanks to the Auto ignition in the knob lighting the burner becomes extremely easy and convenient. You can do everything with one hand. Press and turn the knob to light the burner. Take the heat off yourself, and make kitchen work convenient.
From now on with Amica cookers, you don't have to flick through cookbooks in search of information on how to cook your meal.

From Chrysler's Superbird to the Ford Talladega, NASCAR has been influencing special edition wind cheaters for decades. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Pontiac Aero Coupe is one of the last, but will you find this Grand Prix to have a grand price?
You might think that if you want a mid-engine'd minivan your only options are something as extreme and purpose-built as this, or perhaps if you have a competitive streak, this. But for the prudent and perhaps the lazy, there's also a factory-built mid-engine people mover, and yesterday's 1991 Toyota Previa was just such a beast. Not only that but fully 75% of you found its price to be much better than just fair to middlin'.
Stock car racing. You know, it's been so long since stock car racing actually raced stock cars that I don't even think that description is in common parlance these days. Nowadays we more typically just call it NASCAR, and openly wonder if its fans buy beer at the track or still bring their own jugs of moonshine.
Today's NASCAR rides are only remotely related to their on-street siblings in the same manner that movie stunt people double for celebrities- they just need to vaguely look like them. In fact, NASCAR has a set of templates - one for each model - that the race cars are expected to match, so that each car's profile at least, is 'stock.'
That means that the template must have been sourced from a production model, and that has resulted over the years in a number of homologation models that have attempted to stretch the boundaries of aerodynamics with special, and usually very pointy bodywork.
One of the last of those special models was the Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aero Coupe, which Chevy developed as a response to Ford's '80s smooth move Thunderbird. Chevy built 200 of the Aero Coupes in '86, which was the minimum NASCAR demanded for homologation approval, and then a little over 6,000 of them in the following, and what would be the model's final year.
Now, if you're a NASCAR fan, but find the Chevy to be a little too common for your blood then perhaps you'll kitten to this 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix Aero Coupe which was only offered for a single model year in which only 1,225 were built. It still offers the same nifty glass fastback and truncated trunk opening as the Chevy, but also gains a unique drop-grille nose that's far pointier, and not just a little bit uglier than that of the full Monte.
Perhaps that's too harsh an assessment of the car's looks, and quite unexpectedly this one has had its looks updated with a set of spoked bling rings. Those 22-inch American Racing wheels are not perhaps the first thing you might think of adding to a NASCAR homologation, but hey, this is America and we do weird shit here. Hey Finland, stop judging us!
Where the Chevy and Pontiac did part ways was under the hood. There the Monte had an H.O. edition of the Chevy 305, good for 180-horses, while the Pontiac was only made available with a 165-horse version of the same mill. Interestingly, the LG4 in the Grand Prix Aero had 20 more ft-lbs of torque than the horsier Chevy, so perhaps in the end it's a wash. The only transmission choice for the car was the 200-R4 4-speed.
This particular Aero has six year old paint job in the original colors, and the ad claims that the interior is just as nice as the exterior. The seller says that everything works with the exception of the odometer, which has stopped at 42K. If this were a horror movie that would have some importance and perhaps at every 42,000 miles the ghost of Smokey Yunik would appear in the back seat to tell you that you won't be beatin' if you ain't gonna' be cheatin' and then eats your soul. Or something like that... where were we?
So this bad boy is rare, it's in seemingly nice shape, and, if you don't like the highboy wheels, it comes with the stock rollers too. On the downside, it's kind of an '80s afterthought, and the seller has peppered his ad with screenshots from his phone rather than actual pictures so you have to kind of wonder just how invested he is in this whole trying to sell the car thing.
If you want to be invested in buying it, or just to weigh in on this Aero Coupe's price, this would be a good time to bring up that the seller is asking $15,000 for his ride. What do you think about that price for this Pontiac? Is that a number that might get a potential buyer homologating their dollars? Or, is this Grand Prix with a price that's no prize?
You decide!

The looming Brexit – the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union – has prompted legal uncertainty regarding the implementation of pending EU financial regulations, among them MiFIR and MiFID II. In response to the EU referendum, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a statement reiterating that financial regulations derived from EU legislation "will remain applicable until any changes are made" by the British government and Parliament, and that firms must "continue with implementation plans for legislation that is still to come into effect."
The process for exiting the EU was established in Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon. Before the UK can withdraw from the EU, the UK government must first formally notify the European Council of its intention to do so. European leaders have indicated that they will not engage in talks with British leaders until the UK has invoked Article 50. The process then provides a two-year period for the EU and the departing member to negotiate the terms and conditions of the withdrawal across a range of different sectors, including financial services. Since MiFID II's regulations are set to come into force in January 2018 – well before the conclusion of any two-year negotiation period – many (if not all) of its regulations will be implemented before the UK legally withdraws from the EU.
It remains to be seen whether negotiations will provide the UK with continued access to the EU's single market. If the UK does not retain access to the EU's single market upon formal withdrawal, the UK will become a "third country" under MiFID (i.e., a non-EU member state). Under MiFID II, UK-based financial institutions (known as "third country firms") registered with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) will be eligible to benefit from the current "passporting" regime if they satisfy certain conditions. This would permit UK-based third country firms to continue providing investment services and performing investment activities throughout the EU on a cross-border basis.
One of the conditions set forth in Article 47 of MiFIR holds that the European Commission must determine that a third country's regulations have "equivalent effect" to those established in the EU. Assuming the UK fully implements MiFID II's regulations (which is likely given the FCA's involvement in crafting them), a determination of equivalence would seemingly be a foregone conclusion, since the regulations would be identical. Financial institutions domiciled in the UK and their counterparties should continue to update their compliance programs to ensure that MiFID II's regulatory requirements are satisfied.

On Tuesday and Wednesday night the traditional "llamada de los hermanos" (call of the brothers) takes place: local residents are called to take part in the processions with the sound of cornets and knocking on the doors. The sound of the "tararú" is characteristic of Easter week in Palencia and accompanies the processions: the stops and starts of the procession are identified by the sound of cornets and a children's choir – a real spectacle. The Rompimiento del Velo procession is the final act in this city's Easter week celebrations. Rockets fly, bells peal, and bread, almonds and lemonade are handed out to announce the Resurrection of Christ.
Easter week is one of the most heartfelt and deep-rooted fiestas celebrated in Spain. This commemoration has centuries of history and tradition, remembering the passion and death of Jesus Christ. The streets of the majority of Spain's cities, towns and villages become the stage for religious fervour and devotion, combining grief and meditation in memory of Christ's death. Music, art and colour come together in magical processions - solemn parades in which crowds of people accompany religious images on their route through the streets.

In the late 1990's the ADL wrote a report addressing a new development in on-line bigotry: Extremist Women on the World Wide Web (PDF).
Hundreds upon hundreds of bigoted Web sites promoting a variety of hateful philosophies, such as anti-Semitism and racism, have appeared on the World Wide Web since 1995, when former Ku Klux Klan leader Don Black established the first white supremacist Web site.
Now, a set of sites among them is heralding a new development in on-line bigotry: extremist women on the Web.
While bigots often target women, some women have themselves become bigots, spewing hate on the Internet aimed at Jews, Blacks and other minorities. Many female-oriented hate sites publish extremist screeds similar to those at man-made sites, but hateful women are using the Internet primarily as a tool to promote discussion of their role in the white supremacist "movement." Some female extremists promote women's performance of domestic tasks to aid the "movement" while others encourage women to work and become politically active. However, all are demanding to express their views and agreeing that women have a significant role to play. By speaking up and working to define their own roles, these bigoted women have appropriated feminism's struggle for women to be heard for the despicable purpose of spreading intolerance.
This report illustrates the contents of several women-generated hate sites. Many of these sites feature the writings of a variety of women, who promote a wide array of extremist viewpoints.
