Kansas Dealer presents the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 28, 2009 – Kansas new car shoppers now have an additional reason to shop at Midway Motors in McPherson Kansas. The all new 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 is now available.  The new 2010 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 delivers the most power and refinement ever for a Ford SVT-tuned performance Mustang – and a few surprises, too.
More horsepower, more refinement, more functionality
The combination of added horsepower, refinement and functionality makes the 2010 Shelby GT500 a unique high-performance car for Kansas Ford enthusiasts. It delivers more horsepower and more torque than the outgoing model, thanks in part to advancements pioneered on the GT500KR.
The 2010 Shelby GT500 is powered by a supercharged and intercooled 5.4-liter dual overhead cam V-8 engine that produces 540 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 510 ft.-lb. of torque at 4,500 rpm. The redline is 6,250 rpm. The car’s aluminum power dome hood not only adds to the Shelby’s appearance, it helps cool the engine through a hood extractor.
The Shelby’s open-element air induction system features a conical air filter instead of a flat-panel closed system to reduce air restriction.
The 2010 Shelby GT500 offers Kansas customers improved straight-line acceleration, plus fuel savings when cruising on highway I-70 in the top gears. Gears 1-4 remain the same, but fifth gear changes from .80 to .74 while sixth gear goes from .63 to .50, meaning that the 2010 Shelby GT500 will turn lower engine RPMs in those gears and deliver improved fuel efficiency. The new final drive ratio, moving from 3.31 to 3.55, enables the improved acceleration in lower gears while complementing the revised fifth and sixth gear ratios.
The Shelby’s distinct sounds will be apparent as always, though with new refinements, thanks to the work of the Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) team. A patented resonator placed between the air filter and engine throttle body helps keep unwanted noise in check.
2010 Shelby GT500 in Action
The Shelby is the most robust design and distinctive model of the new Mustang lineup.  Racing stripes are now available for the first time on the convertible model of the 2010 Shelby GT500.
Rounding out the Shelby’s exterior modifications are the unique signature coiled Cobra badges on the front grille and front fenders, a more aggressive front splitter and lower-drag rear spoiler, which added to improved aerodynamic features. The spoiler is raked back aggressively to minimize drag, while an integrated Gurney Flap provides the downforce.

Be A Smart Eco Traveler

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 25, 2009 – People like traveling. Vacation is always a nice treat for you and your family. However, with all the news about global warming and economy crisis, people consider travel more careful than ever.
Many environmentalists think that flights are the biggest killer to the atmosphere. Many families now have tighter budget than ever. While facing all these concerns, we are still trying to find out ways to get away with our family and friends. Why not travel green and explore the world without hurting our planet and pocket? Here are some simple tips for you to consider and hopefully can help you accelerate decision-making process.
Stay With Locals
Accommodation is the biggest part of your travel budget, especially travel internationally. Staying with trusted local host family would be a good option to save some budget. The cost will be lower than staying at the hotel. Furthermore, it allows you to communicate with local people, know more about their culture and language, and have some real taste of local traditional food.
If you prefer to stay at hotel, purchase an eco package from travel agency, which includes flight tickets and hotels, can save you hundreds even thousands.
Off-Season Travel
Because of high demand, the costs of the hotels and flight tickets are priced the highest than the rest the year and you properly won’t be able to find a nice destination to have some relax and peaceful time due to the crowd. To find out when the low travel periods are, you can check out the government official websites at your destination for more traveling tips and details before you go.
Another reason for off-season traveling is weather. Weather can be a big problem during vacation, so do a research on forecast reports for past few years to figure out when would be the best time to go.
Discounts are available during off-peak season. It would be a good idea to create a list of all attractions, stores and museums you want to visit during your trip and check out their websites for any coupons or vouchers they offer for either tickets or shopping.
Travel Like An Environmental Helper
To be an active environmental helper, you can find volunteer work from non-profit organizations or eco packages from travel agencies who work with non-profit organizations in order to approach to the public awareness of global warming issues. You can also participate in environmental projects that need volunteers around the world with different research themes.  
Transportations At Destinations
Even thought staying at downtown area can be expensive, you save big money on car rental and gas. Usually, all city attractions are located in downtown area within walking-distance. Also, public transportation can help you save money and easier on the environment. Train would be another good choice for transportation. If you are planning to see some attractions in further distance, check if you can get there by taking a train.
Traveling opens our eyes. To be a smart traveler requires you to do lots homework before the trip. The more you do, the more you save. In the U.S., state and local government promotes tourist programs more on eco tourism in a better and greener way. More deals, discounts and travel information can be accessed easily from official websites.

Bus Eireann To Continue Operating Miltown Malbay To Ennis Service

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 25, 2009 – The Fianna Fail T.D. for Clare said he had received the assurance from Bus Eireann Chief Executive Tim Hayes who noted that the entire bus network was under review due to falling passenger numbers and a potential EUR30 million financial deficit this year.
Minister of State Killeen commented: “I have been informed by Bus Eireann that it has put in place a cost recovery plan that is designed to return the company to a position of financial strength through changes to terms and conditions and through services changes to routes that have low customer support - often less than five people per service.  The company’s review of its nationwide network includes the Ennis to Miltown service, which it has no plans to end at this point.  This is welcome news for the people who use the service, which provides an important link between the County Capital and West Clare.”
In a letter to Minister of State Killeen, Mr Hayes stated: “In recent years Bus Eireann had expanded its network of services across the country, including in the Clare area, in line with customer demand. However, due to the economic downturn, which has seen our passenger numbers fall by ten per cent. Bus Eireann is now facing a loss of up to EUR30m this year. As a responsible commercial semi-State company we must take action to address these losses in order to protect as many services and jobs as possible.
“Just as we grew services during the good times, we must now adjust our network in line with falling demand so that Bus Eireann can continue to provide transport to the considerable number of people throughout the country who use our services every day, while returning the company to a stronger financial position.
“I think it is important to note that we have not yet made any changes to the Miltown Malbay to Ennis service and there is not expected to be any change to the service in the short-term provided that we can get agreement from the trade unions for the required level of savings.  If changes are introduced on the Miltown Malbay to Ennis service, we will inform customers and the public in advance of those changes coming into effect”, concluded Mr. Hayes
