<p>A business becomes successful by adapting to the times. When <a href="http://sdyj.net/2011/08/acn-high-speed-dial-up-plus-internet-connection/">ACN Inc</a>. was first founded in 1993, it was a solely a long distance provider. As the company grew and technology changed, <a href="http://www.vespacious.com/acn.html">ACN</a> met the demands of the industry by expanding. Today they offer a large variety of products and services, designed to meet the standards of a changing industry.</p>
<p>ACN currently offers two phones services. The first is their local and long distance calling plans. They offer several options ranging from the affordable Advantage Home plan to the all inclusive Advantage Unlimited plan. The second is their digital phone services, which allows users not only to hear the person on the other line but to see them&lt; as well. The digital phone technology offered by <a href="http://www.hoovers.com/company/ACN_Inc/rtxcssi-1.html">ACN</a> is nothing short of revolutionary.</p>
<p>For even additional savings, customers can elect to group their calling plan with an internet option. ACN allows subscribers to not only bundle high speed internet with their long distance calling plan, but with their digital phone service as well. There are a variety of speeds available, allowing potential customers to find the perfect plan for their needs.</p>
<p> ACN also offers products that are designed to protect your home. They are partners with ADT and Vivint Home Security. All of their ADT packages include a free home security system.

Backup support is also offered, allowing subscribers to not worry over losing valuable files.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p>Size does matter. And sometimes, the smaller the better. On today’s congested roads, the last thing you need is a double-parked Hummer, or a Maybach cautiously trying to parallel park in a space clearly meant for a Toyota iQ. Good things come in small packages, and when they’re really good, the best come back in smaller and updated packages. Case in point, the British Mini, or the BMW Mini.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.contemphil.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bmw_mini_cooper.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-271" title="bmw_mini_cooper" src="http://www.contemphil.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bmw_mini_cooper.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>Iconic during the psychedelic times of the 60s (remember George Harrison’s Tibetan and Sanskrit prayer painted Mini), the Mini is a common sight on UK roads today, at once cute, compact and stylish. It’s larger than its predecessor and weighs a bit more as well. However, retro rules today and its interior packs in Harman Kardon speakers seamlessly with auxiliary gauges. Lily Allen and Madonna have confessed to be die-hard Mini fans. The car’s even made it to Hollywood, featuring in Hitch, Austin Powers Goldmember, and a heist scene in the The Italian Job, giving it a good chance to show off its <a title="track driving" href="http://www.exelement.co.uk/driving/track-driving" target="_blank"><strong>track driving</strong></a> abilities.</p>
<p>If you think just seeing one oldie back on the road doesn’t prove anything, think again. Volkswagen’s Beetle is still going strong. It’s expected to be phased out by 2011, to make way for possible variants including two-seater Beetle roadsters, SUV-type Beetles and the standard hard top.</p>
<div><img title="Christmas gift ideas" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Volkswagen.beetle.arp.jpg" alt="track driving" width="512" height="205" /></div>
<p>The fat bubble Fiat 500 is back as well, rising from its death in the 70s. The new avatar is front-engined and front-wheel drive, and powered by a choice of three water-cooled engines (the original twin cylinder was air cooled) that include a 69bhp 1.2 petrol, a twin cam 100bhp 1.4 and a 75bhp 1.3 turbodiesel. Of course, there’s the usual paraphernalia of a built-in stereo with CD player and MP3 port, voice-activated Bluetooth phone integration, electric windows, power steering and a trip computer. It’s uber-stylish, and let’s face it, the Italians know their furniture so well, the interiors are worthy of their own showroom.</p>
<div><img title="Christmas gift ideas" src="http://avto-union.com/galleries/Albums/Album6/Source/fiat_500.jpg" alt="track driving" width="508" height="422" /></div>
<p>A visit to a <a title="Vintage Car Rally" href="http://www.lbvcr.com/" target="_blank"><strong>vintage car rally</strong></a> reveals the human spirit to create the most bizarre things in the name of transport. The Goggomobil Dart, Messerschmitt cars, even Vespa cars, and the bubble-shaped BMW Isetta, which was originally designed by a refrigerator company with two doors, one at the front and the other at the back. Dare we hope to see a return of these? Or perhaps the Citroën 2CV and its classic Bauhaus body?</p>
<div><img title="Christmas gift ideas" src="http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2008/09/10-citroen-c3-pluriel-charleston/Citroen-2CV-6-Charleston-1985-lg.jpg" alt="track driving" width="521" height="460" /></div>
<p>A return may take a while. In the meantime, there’s a whole new breed of <a title="Smart City Cars" href="http://motortorque.askaprice.com/articles/auto-0909/top-ten-best-city-cars-for-2010.asp" target="_blank"><strong>smart city cars</strong></a> to look forward to: the Volkswagen Cross Polo is another new entry; the Aston Martin Cygnet is preparing to rival Toyota’s iQ; the sporty and incredibly expensive Audi A1. Both the Cygnet and A1 are expected at the end of 2010 and are priced between £14,000 to £25,000. If you’re feeling generous, they might be the greatest <a title="Christmas Gift Ideas" href="http://www.exelement.co.uk/for-special-occasions/christmas-gifts-ideas" target="_blank"><strong>Christmas gift ideas</strong></a> ever. Especially if they’re just for yourself.</p>

<p>Fast cars, girls love them and boys crave for them. Being the stylized image of all that is bad (which, of course, means good), powerful and testosterone-fuelled, cars have been a favourite toy for a lot of men (and quite a few women) since their invention.</p>
<p>What is it exactly that makes these beastly machines the target of such <a title="The people at Car Lust sure know what is like to like cars!" href="http://www.carlustblog.com/">devotion and lust</a>? What makes us look at machines that can make the <a title="Fabric Labels" href="http://www.ibmd.averydennison.com/products/printed-fabric.asp">fabric labels</a> in our clothes disappear in the breeze with such awe and fascination? Perhaps it is all the unrestrained power waiting to be released by the tap of a foot, or perhaps the lush shapes and sensual curves of an attractive sports car.</p>
<p>What we do know for sure is that while most of us can only day-dream about riding behind the wheel of the fastest car in the world, some lucky fellows (who are liberal about how they spend their hard earned cash) will go to any length to taste that kind of speed and power. But how fast are the fastest cars in the world today? Better yet, which one is the king of speed, the prized target for adrenaline seekers around the world? Let&#8217;s find out with our top 3:</p>
<h2>1. SSC Ultimate Aero</h2>
<p>The top dog on our list has beaten the legendary Bugatti Veyron as the baddest, meanest and certainly fastest kid on the block. Boasting a max speed of 257 mph and shooting from 0 to 60 in the lighting fast speed of 2.7 seconds, it&#8217;s easy to be impressed with this bad boy.</p>
<p>The <a title="Find all the information you need about the SSC Ultimate Aero on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSC_Aero">Ultimate Aero</a> is eqipped with a Twin-Turbo V8 Engine with 1183 hp and will set you back (at least!) the modest sum of $654,400. If you are a fan of speed though, the SSC Ultimate Aero is the way to go. The car has been tested by the Guinness World Records and is guaranteed to tear away any <a title="Apparel labels" href="http://www.ibmd.averydennison.com">apparel labels</a> attached to your clothes and make your hair go back to the 80s.</p>
<h2>2. Bugatti Veyron</h2>
<p>Fast and light, the Bugatti is the second fastest but the most expensive. The Bugatti Veyron makes for more than a petty purchase with the base price of $1,700,000 (yes, that&#8217;s seven figures). The car has a maximum speed of 253 mph and goes from 0 to 60 in a measly 2.5 seconds which gives it a faster sprint than the Aero.</p>
<h2>3. Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s fast and it&#8217;s sexy. It&#8217;s the car you want to show off. The Saleen S7 boasts an Aluminum V8 Engine with 750 hp and is as smooth as a red panther. At a base price of $555,000 the car is the most affordable on the list but will have you settling with 3rd place in terms of speed, with a max of 248 mph.</p>

Another day, another kit car for your toupee-tousling amusement. This is the Heynsdyk 2500SF from Holland: a bespoke body placed over the engine, electronics, and drivetrain of a Porsche 944. The substantially lighter body, in galvanized steel, takes weight down to 900 kilograms (1,980 pounds) while maintaining 50/50 weight distribution. There are six engine choices, from a basic 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 163 horsepower, to a 2.5-liter four-pot S-motor with a turbo. That one will get you 250 horsepower, and from 0 to 60 in six seconds. Top speed is limited to 250 kilometers per hour (155 miles per hour).</p>
<p>You can buy the car as a kit or a finished product, and prices start at €14,750 ($20,798 U.S.) for the kit, or €36,995 ($52,158 U.S.) for a ready runner. Like its countrymate Spyker, what the car might lack in beauty it makes up for in unique and arresting looks. Have a look for yourselves in the gallery of high-res photos below. <em>Hat tip to Anton</em>!</p>

<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to select cars from an automaker&#8217;s fleet the way you select lobsters from a tank?  Some, like King Juan Carlos of Spain, can do exactly that, and this is his latest lobster: a blackout-remixed Audi RS6 sedan. About the only things not given the midnight treatment are the headlights, taillights, and signal indicators on the mirrors. Even the exhaust tips are black.</p>
<p>A book last year alleged that the king owned 71 cars and had a team of 65 attendants to care for them. If true, this one makes a worthy 72nd. Somehow we don&#8217;t think the royal standards and light bars mounted behind the grille are normal Audi options – but we might ask next time we stop by the showroom. You can get a few more looks at it in the gallery of high-res photos below.</p>

<p>For the last few years Barrett-Jackson has become the place to sell &#8220;production firsts&#8221; like the Dodge Challenger, Corvette ZR1, and Shelby GT500 KR to name a few. For 2010, it seems we&#8217;ve run out of new muscle cars to auction off, but Cadillac decided to take advantage of a captive and wealthy audience to unload the very first production 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe. We&#8217;d probably be more interested if it was a CTS-V Coupe, as we don&#8217;t see a run-of-the-mill two-door CTS becoming a collectible, regardless of when it was produced.</p>
<p>Still, we can&#8217;t fault Cadillac <em>too </em>much for bringing the first CTS Coupe to Barrett-Jackson, since all of the winning bid minus the cost of the car will be donated to the College for Creative Studies. The top bidder doesn&#8217;t get this exact car, but instead gets to special-order his or her own CTS Coupe with the choice of color, engine, transmission, trim, and any options. So what&#8217;s it worth? The car sold yesterday for a respectable price of $95,700 including buyers commission.</p>

<p>The 2011 Shelby GT350 seemed to have a polarizing effect when it debuted at Barrett-Jackson&#8217;s opening gala event on Monday night. Some of you loved it and others instantly objected to everything from the looks of the car to the $33,995 price tag that doesn&#8217;t include the base car. With 500 horsepower from the new 5.0-liter V8, there&#8217;s no arguing that the 2011 GT350 has plenty of performance potential, but is another $60,000+ Mustang what people really want?</p>
<p>The first thing we did when we arrived in Scottsdale last night was to make a bee-line to check out the car in person. We also caught up with Jim Owens, Shelby&#8217;s Vice President of Marketing and Communications, who talked to us about the car. Follow the jump for what we learned about the 2011 GT350.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p><a href="http://www.contemphil.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/jaguar-xj_08blk_usa_opta.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-230" title="jaguar-xj_08blk_usa_opta" src="http://www.contemphil.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/jaguar-xj_08blk_usa_opta.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="406" /></a></p>
<p>The Jaguar XJ is is a near clean-sheet design for the 2011 model year with all-new sheet metal, interior bits and powertrains. All that change leads to a new price tag  when the biggest cat hits UK dealerships this April, and the MSRP ranges wildly depending on what you&#8217;re looking for. UK site <em>Autocar</em> reports that the XJ will range from £53,775 ($86,741 in U.S. funds, though that&#8217;s not directly comparable) for the 3.0 diesel Luxury model to £90,455 ($145,638 U.S.) for the &#8220;base&#8221; 5.0 Supersport LWB. Those prices will climb based on the options chosen, and we&#8217;re sure plenty of models will crest the £100,000 mark. The middling XJ 5.0 V8 Premium Luxury comes in at £64,355  and <a href="http://www.buyyourcar.co.uk/new-car/jaguar/xj-series">New Jaguar XJ Price</a> ($103,579 U.S).</p>
<p>Jaguar will reportedly sell three different versions of the XJ, with powertrain options ranging from five versions of the 3.0-liter diesel model to four versions with the petrol-powered 5.0-liter V8 and finally two different supercharged 5.0-liter Supersport models. All models will reportedly be available with both standard and long wheelbases, with the longer Jags coming with a £3,000 price premium.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that UK pricing very often has very little to do with the XJ MSRP we&#8217;re likely to see here in the U.S. due to the much higher value of the British Pound versus the U.S. dollar and the UK&#8217;s wonky Value Added Tax. In other words, don&#8217;t read much into the pricing unless you live on a very large island just north of mainland Europe. Head over to <em>Autocar</em> to see cross-pond pricing for all &#8216;11 XJ models.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p><a href="http://www.contemphil.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/harley-davidson-forty-eight-large17opt.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-233" title="harley-davidson-forty-eight-large17opt" src="http://www.contemphil.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/harley-davidson-forty-eight-large17opt.jpg" alt="" width="555" height="397" /></a></p>
<p>Harley-Davidson has just announced a new addition to its entry-level Sportster family, and it&#8217;s seemingly again drawing on its years of heritage in both the bike&#8217;s design and name. Called the Forty-Eight, the new machine is the latest motorcycle to slot into HD&#8217;s Dark Custom series, which also includes the Nightster 1200, Iron 883, Cross Bones, Fat Bob and Street Bob.</p>
<p>So, what makes this model different from the other Sportster models? It&#8217;s all in the styling details, naturally. Included in the kit are bobbed fenders front and rear, fat front tire, blacked-out and polished 1200cc Evolution V-twin, solo seat that measures 26 inches from the ground, under-mounted mirrors, side mount license plate and tiny 2.1-gallon peanut fuel tank. No matter, with what we bet is less than two inches of rear suspension travel, this bike seems destined to be a short-distance mount anyway.</p>
<p>So, to recap, there&#8217;s nothing new here at all (which we surmise is kind of the point), but the overall effect still makes the Forty-Eight arguably the most attractive bike in the Sportster line, barring the much sportier XR1200, of course. Pricing begins at $10,499 MSRP in Vivid Black with Brilliant Silver and Mirage Orange Pearl also available. Click past the break for the complete press release and check out our high-res image gallery below.</p>
