Air India on Thursday declared its intent to sell three of its Boeing 777s for mopping up resources to stem its liabilities, barely four months after selling five of these planes to Gulf carrier Etihad Airways.
The airline offered three Boeing 777-200 Long Range airplanes, powered with GE 90-110 engines, for outright sale through competitive global bidding, Air India sources said a day after a meeting of its Board here.
The long-haul global routes flown by these aircraft would now be gradually replaced by Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which Air India is inducting at a steady pace. 13 of the 27 Dreamliners the airline has ordered have already joined the fleet.
The sale of five B-777s to Etihad in December last year was estimated to fetch over USD 335 million, which Air India plans to use to pay off its outstanding debt.
The three B-777s being sold now have a seat capacity of 238, including eight First Class and 35 Business Class seats.
While the commercial bids for these three five-year-old planes would be opened on May 13, the technical bids would be opened at a later date, the sources said.
As part of its turnaround plan, Air India is inducting the Dreamliners and going for a sale and leaseback arrangement to effect major savings. Under such an arrangement, the seller of an asset leases it back from the purchaser for a long-term and continues to use it.
The airline estimates it could raise about $840 million by selling seven Dreamliners and leasing them back. The money earned through the leaseback arrangement would be used to pay off the bridge loans taken against these aircraft.
Air India has mandated the leaseback arrangement with Investec Bank for four Dreamliners and three with Deutsche Bank. It is slated to get six more Dreamliners this year.
The sale of B-777s and leaseback of the B-787 Dreamliners are part of the financial restructuring and turnaround plan of the national carrier.
The airline, which has issued a tender for 12 Airbus A-320s, would soon conclude the lease of five of these aircraft, the sources said. All of these planes would be in an all-economy configuration to be used on domestic routes.
Air India, which has an estimated debt and liabilities of over Rs 20,000 crore (Rs 200 billion), has recorded significant improvements in its financial performance parameters.
It estimates a huge 44 per cent slash in its operating losses in 2013-14 and an almost 20 per cent growth in its operating revenue since the previous financial year.

Love Poldark? This is how to follow in his steps around Cornwall
With Poldark returning to our screens, we look at the amazing backdrops in the show
We all fell in love with Poldark last series, especially when actor Aidan Turner took his top off. But another important part of the show was the setting – a backdrop of some of Cornwall's finest sights.
An adaptation of Winston Graham's much-loved novels Poldark, with a passionate plot of romance and family dramatics, is set to the backdrop of 18th century mining Cornwall. But which real life landmarks do we see in the series? And which can you visit for yourself?

After a week on live, playing properly paying attention and things, on the back of some discussion in this thread I thought such discussion of how we feel things are broadly playing out deserved it's own thread. I'll kick off, with some clear Demo bias, with a summary of how things feel in terms of the good and the bad. Note some of this will be a rehash of problems I picked up from Beta, but have only served to be reinforced on Live.
Pandemic, greatly reduces the stance dancing for Demo and adds a lot of flexibility to the play of Affliction's Haunt/MG weaving.
Demo feels incredibly flexible, without loosing the feel of the old playstyle it has shifted, successfully a challenging rotation onto a model very strongly defined by it's resource management. I honestly didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I am doing.
Affliction hasn't turned out as just a variation on Shadow as I'd feared, that is in part testament to the changes Shadow itself received, but is largely down to the change to Haunt and the use of Soul Shards which add so much to the gameplay which allow it to have a little more adaptability to encounters than it had, without going overboard.
Grimoire talents. I don't like Sacrifice and it is a little strong for Affliction, but many do like it. Fortunately I don't have to use it. That's because it's optional, thus the row works.
Burning Rush. So much win.
Imp Swarm.
The rest of the talents up to and including 75. I've found use for basically everything on the talent pane with the exceptions of: Harvest Life, Sacrificial Pact, Blood Fear and Unbound Will. The latter two as I've not even tried any PvP, so much to do to get ready to raid! I can safely say there's good reason to keep a stack of Tome of the Clear Mind in my bag.
Less Good.
Stance dancing as Demo. Pandemic almost fixes it. Almost, but because it 'almost fixes' something, it starts to make the ability feel more like a sticking plaster for the spec, than the bonus it truly is for Affliction. Similarly, it doesn't help those moments when Corruption drops when you shift to Meta, blow Imps/Service then have a ToC miss leaving you with the sticky choice of dropping Meta to reapply or sitting out Dark Soul with no Corruption on target.
Touch of Chaos auto-refreshing Corruption. I like that I now manage my dots properly as Affliction, having the auto-refresh takes that away, leads to the above problem, and generally gives me a lot less to do in Meta. Furthermore though, it leads people into a nasty trap of spending ~200 Fury inappropriately to maintain a DoT. I've learnt that's a Bad Thing™ when that Fury can be better spent for more gains elsewhere – Many new and returning players will not realise or accept that because EJ/SimCraft says so. If they're doing it "Right" and doing terribly or complaining of Fury starvation as a result, this is not good for the spec.
Demonic Gateway. A lot has been said of the subject here and frankly, I just don't 'get it'. It doesn't seem to be able to do the stuff I was wanting/expecting from it for myriad of reasons ranging from the technical limitations to the in built limitations. I 'get' they didn't want to implement it, it turn out OP then have to nerf it, but in it's current state I really am struggling to find a place for it and to justify it's place on my action bars beyond that some other abilities got taken away and it just happens to fill a gap.
Glyphs. Too much fluff and not enough stuff. Each specialisation basically has a mandatory glyph, Imps/Shards/Embers while the other two slots are pretty much going to be Soulstone and Siphon Life. Of the rest, some may have some limited PvP or soloing use, but are generally seemingly detrimental rather than offering a viable utility/alternate application.
Level 90 talents. I feel like I could happily play with none taken. I use MF if I feel I can get away with it, but there's such risk involved it's just easier to pick up AV and forget about it. KjC is just awkward, and more worthwhile to make a /stopcasting /cast Fel Flame macro, even as Demo where you're probably wanting to pool some Fury for a better moment than burning it when you're dodging fire. I know it's getting buffed, but picking a talent to go faster, then picking one to slow you down is a very contrary thing to do.
Harvest Life. Still doesn't feel like it fits as a talent.
Sacrificial Pact. Don't get why have a choice between two additional shields on top of the one we have baseline, or quite why I'd pick the self evidently less good one in spite of its lower cooldown. I feel like posting a Yo Dawg meme about shields on my shields…
Too Good.
Felstorm shouldn't be a single target DPS increase.
Grimoire of Service: Felguard Felstorm as above, while providing massive AE burst.
I'd be tempted to say Demo AoE in general, but DKs, Rets, Monks, and more absurdly, all classes of tank are also doing similarly stupid damage from what I've seen.

Thanks for your help.
The link you provided takes me to the ODP page but from there on in everything seems to be called ODAC, there's no mention of ODP.
I selected the 3rd link down (not the beta or the 64 bit edition) and ended up here:
Try ctrl+f and look for odp!!!!!! It only appears in the URL.
Looks to me like they've changed the name just to confuse everyone and make a bit of money by holding ODP to ODAC courses! Received on Wed Jun 27 2007 - 10:42:48 CEST

California First Lady Maria Shriver — whose mother Eunice Shriver founded the Special Olympics — has weighed in this morning on the furor surrounding President Obama's comments regarding the Special Olympics on the "Tonight" show.
Here's her statement:
"While I am confident that President Obama never intended to offend anyone, the response that his comments have caused, coupled with the reaction of a primetime audience, demonstrate the need to continue to educate the non-disabled community on the issues that confront those with a developmental disability. My mother has dedicated her life to fighting stereotypes and ridicule for this community, and there is still much work to be done."
"The President's apology for his comments and his commitment to bringing the Special Olympics to the White House are important first steps in shedding light on this important issue. Often times we don't realize that when we laugh at comments like this it hurts millions of people throughout the world. People with special needs are great athletes and productive citizens, and I look forward to working with the President to knock down myths and stereotypes about this community."
Obama himself apologized to Tim Shriver, the chairman of the Special Olympics, for the gaffe made on the Leno show, which has prompted some of the organization's athletes also to comment.
Obama told "Tonight" show Jay Leno he's been at work at the White House bowling alley. Last year, he scored in double digits in a campaign event — saying his performance "was like the Special Olympics or something."
Both Maria Shriver and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger have been international ambassadors for the Special Olympics, opening ceremonies arond the world for the organization founded in 1968, and which has aided more than 200 million individuals with intellectual disabilities.

I went shopping today, and I bought six pairs of lounge pants at K-Mart for $4 (I don't care what anybody says about that place, they have a kick-awesome big/tall men's clothes section, better than Wal-Mart's or Target's), and at Meijers I got some grocery items and and a couple Hot Wheels: The Muppets Electric Mayhem bus and American Graffiti '58 Edsel. I'll admit, they were both kind of "ha ha" items, as the Electric Mayhem bus is good for making Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters jokes, and the Edsel....c'mon, a Hot Wheels car of a Edsel?

note bcladd Pet 2001 w/ serial number < 100000:

chicklet keys (with capital letters/graphics symbols on them); could swap in the lowercase letter forms at the cost of the graphics symbols
integrated storage solution (built-in cassette player)
integrated monochrome (white on black) monitor
 Two pins in the user port were the output of a programmable timer. After I read about it in a magazine, a simple RadioShack amplifier wired across the connector provided "music". It had built-in BASIC _and_ a hardware monitor. Two languages in one little machine.
 The _second_ computer I had was even cooler: a CompuColor II. The keyboard had custom colored keys so you knew how to set colors as you programmed. The monitor was a portable TV w/ the tuner replaced by a floppy disk drive. The HOURS that can be absorbed writing 16 (yes, 16!) color games in pirated MS-BASIC (or so the various history sites say; I don't know anything about where the BASIC came from). No format command so you were expected to buy disks from CompuColor; we got a huge box with the computer so we never needed any (100 disks at 50KB each? Who could need to store >5MB of information?). 271255 271255

Further proof:
Last night I sung an impromptu duet with my daughter about bedtime. Impromptu because my portion of the song is verses I made up a while ago about it being time for bed and how little girls... and now, little boys - need their sleep. Zoe's portion is new, as far as I know and it's about how it is not time for bed but in fact, time to "PLAY THE DRUM!" and "DANCE!" She harmonized perfectly with me and managed to overlap with my portion of the song in such a way that it sounded like we'd been singing this song exactly this way for AGES.
I've said it before, but
1. We have a lot of fun in this house.
2. Zoe seems to be musically inclined and a GENIUS.
* - Zoe was not in the car with me and Finn was asleep.
** - I'm driving again. VERY cautiously and very anxious while I'm doing it... and only short distances in low traffic areas, but I'm driving. Baby steps.
*** - Photo not actually taken last night, but rather last week when Zoe requested that she be a princess and we proceeded to call each other "Your Highness" and speak in very uppity, exaggerated accents... even Zoe. See? Theatre people!

Urban Schrott, IT Security & Cybercrime Analyst at ESET Ireland, reports seeing more e-mail pretending to be from Microsoft is circulating, "warning" computer users that "Conflicker" is again spreading rapidly.
ESET's ThreatSense engine identifies the malware as Win32/Kryptik.CLU trojan, and running it would result in further malware infections.
Here's an example Urban quotes of one of the spoofed emails, though there are many more:
Subject: Conflicker.B Infection Alert
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:15:30 +0900
Dear Microsoft Customer,
Starting 12/11/2009 the ?Conficker? worm began infecting Microsoft customers unusually rapidly. Microsoft has been advised by your Internet provider that your network is infected.
To counteract further spread we advise removing the infection using an antispyware program. We are supplying all effected Windows Users with a free system scan in order to clean any files infected by the virus.
Please install attached file to start the scan. The process takes under a minute and will prevent your files from being compromised. We appreciate your prompt cooperation.
Microsoft Windows Agent #2 (Hollis)
Microsoft Windows Computer Safety Division
Figures at Virus Radar, a resource we maintain to track threats circulating as email attachments, indicates an infection ratio of 0.036% today, putting it a close second to Win32/Zafi.B.
While these aren't the sort of volumes we regarded as high in the early noughties, that's a substantial ratio these days, when email attachments are not a particularly common vector.
In fact, we don't particularly publicise Virus Radar any more, as it comprises a very small proportion of the entire threat-range, and can easily be misinterpreted. However on this occasion, it does suggest a pretty determined spam run.

When setting up an Online Store, there are two pieces to set up: the E-Commerce and the Builder. The E-Commerce icon is where you will set up the items you're selling and their inventory, as well as payment options and other settings. Think of the E-Commerce as your warehouse or storage room. The Builder is where you'll set up the design of the Online Store, controlling the pages, which will display what you set up in the E-Commerce. Think of the Builder as your storefront.
Below are recommended steps on setting up both the E-Commerce and the Builder for a Retail-focused online store.
1. Add products
The first step you'll take is to hover over sell online and click on products and add the products you intend to sell. Click here for a step-by-step guide on setting up products.
2. Set up stock tracking
Unless your business model is a made-to-order one, you'll probably have a limited stock for each item. You can set up stock tracking for each product. Click here to learn more about stock tracking.
3. Set up payment options
In order to get paid properly for all these items you've just set up, you'll need to set up a merchant to process payment, as well as shipping and taxes. All of these settings can be found if you hover over the payment tab,
4. Settings
The settings tab in your ecommerce holds many different settings: general settings, custom checkout, and order statuses. You can tweak any of these settings if you wish.
We recommend using the receipt settings to add a logo to your receipts. This makes the email receipt your customers receive look more professional. Click here for more details.
1. Set up your Pages
You'll need to set up a page to correspond with what you're selling. Click here for a complete guide on builder pages.
2. Try on templates and pick your favorite
After you've added some content to your pages, you'll be able to better see what your website will look like when different templates are applied to your site, so go ahead and start "test driving" some templates! When choosing a template, keep in mind that you can change the colors, fonts, and background in Step 4.
To access the template collection, click on the Builder icon, then hover over design and click on templates. Click the links below to lean how to preview, add, and save templates.
3. Upload logo
The recommended logo size will change depending on the template you choose, which is why we recommend waiting until you have selected a template to upload your logo.
Click here for step by step instructions on how to upload your logo.
4. Customize your design
After you've selected your template, there are default settings for your design, but all these can be changed under the design tab in your Builder control panel.
5. Add domain name and allow it to propagate (24-48 hours)
A custom domain name is recommended because it brands your site and makes it appear much more professional than having a shared domain like example.photobiz.com.
6. Site Analytics/Metas
After all the major pages and content have been added to your account, we recommend adding meta information and setting up Google Analytics and Webmaster tools to make sure your website is in the best possible position for search engine optimization. Some helpful links for SEO can be found below:
7. Publish Sitemap
Your website's sitemap is like a roadmap for search engine bots to make it easier for your website to be crawled. This is the last thing you should do once the rest of your website is completed. You'll want to republish your sitemap anytime you make major changes to your website. This alerts the search engines that you've made changes and your website should be crawled again to make sure they have the most up to date information.
For instructions on how to publish your sitemap, click here.

Well, that was hard work. Iran seem happy enough with a point, but they'll find it difficult to beat Bosnia. They could have shown more adventure. As for Nigeria, they were flat and disappointing. We've had the first dud of this World Cup, but it had to happen eventually. Thanks for your emails. Sorry I couldn't get to all of them. Thanks. Bye.
Full-time: Iran 0-0 Nigeria
It's all over. Nigeria's fans boo. Stephen Keshi laughs. Finally, after 12 games, there's been a draw.
90 min+1: From Mikel's corner, Ameobi bullets a header goalwards, but there's Pooladi again to head it off the line!
90 min: This is outstanding defending from Pooladi. Oshaniwa hangs a teasing cross up to the far post, where Ameobi looks poised to head home, only for Pooladi to head it over for a corner.
89 min: Heydari off, Masoud Shojaei on.
87 min: Emenike crosses, Amoebi heads, Haghighi claims.
86 min: Iran are sitting back again. Hard to argue with the decision decision to settle for a draw here and then focus on the totally winnable match against Argentina. "I have to say that my host in Greece, Aspaseia, not best pleased with 69th minute observation," says Chris Morton. "Personally, as the TV commentary is all Greek to me , I'm finding it the only thing keeping me away from another bottle of Mythos!"
84 min: "The commentator in English on Sky Mexico is describing this game as ".....watchable, very watchable. All it needs is a goal. It's a good battle out there, a good contest." So, does a commentator's description of a game influence how you view it?" says Ben Grant. "I'm quite enjoying it."
It's more inept than it is boring.
83 min: Odemwingie whistles a volley wide from the edge of the area, but the whistle had long gone for handball after he tried to control Mikel's lobbed pass. It might have been his shoulder. He missed anyway.
81 min: Iran are showing more belief. They're committing more men forward. Teymourian has a sight of goal from 20 yards but his radar is askew. "I've just received an email, at my desk here in America, from an American 'Irish pub' franchise inviting me with this brilliant come-on to watch the USA-Ghana match at one of their locations: 'Don't miss the U.S. fight for its destiny. Be part of a history you'll never forget never remembering'," says Timothy Paul. I'm confused.
78 min: Iran replace Dejagah with Jahanbaksh. "If you're going to watch the USA game in a bar tonight, who will do this blog?" says John Parham. "Can you WiFi it in from the bar, or do you have a sub? Coors Light in England would be considered an imported beer. Perish the thought. BTW, I'm an American temporarily living in Argentina (for nearly 20 years). Here it is La Mundial, or simply Mundial 2014."
Graham Parker will be covering USA v Ghana.
77 min: The first chance for a while. Well, sort of. Pooladi sent a cross to the far post from the right and it found Dejagah unmarked. However he was unable to rise high enough and only ended up heading the ball up into the air, allowing Enyeama to collect. "I think Eric Idle put it best when he described American beer like making love in a canoe. Decorum prevents me from revealing the punchline," says Beau Dure. "Incidentally, I wrote a book about Major League Soccer. Some complain about our domestic league along with our domestic beer, but I don't think I've seen an MLS game as dire as this one."
75 min: Teymourian is booked for bringing down Odemwingie.
73 min: Musa spots Ambrose on the overlap but decides to knock the ball behind for a goal-kick instead, just for a laugh. Ambrose gives him a look.
70 min: Oshaniwa hoicks a cross into the middle and there's Ameobi, clambering all over Hosseini and heading wide. He's penalised for a foul. "You'd have to think England could at least get a draw against either of these teams, especially if Rooney was played in his favoured position," says Mark Judd. Yes, as the Sunburnt 10.
69 min: Peter Odemwingie is on for Azeez. "Victor Moses's poor corner was "Aspasian"?" says Mac Millings. "As I'm sure you are aware, the inspirational Aspasia, life-partner of the great Athenian statesman Pericles, was the most (and perhaps only) politically influential woman during the Golden Age of Athens. Sexist."
67 min: Iran win a free-kick on the left. Hajsafi's cross is half-cleared and Iran attack again. The ball is cut back from the left byline, but Ghoochanejhad pulls his shot high, wide and not very handsome. He was leaning back and it bobbled in front of him before he hit it. "As an Australian recent moved to the US of A I don't know why all these Americans are so upset at being associated with Coors Light," says Matthew McCormack. "It's 10 times more drinkable than that utter cat urine Fosters that we get associated with."
And what about me and my association with kosher wine?
65 min: "You're just trolling the Americans now with the Coors Light, aren't you," says Jill Krupnik. Only now?
64 min: John Obi Mikel has just had a shot. It's come to this. "I would love it if Shola scored at the world cup," says Joseph Dixon. "As a lifelong Newcastle fan I always said he would come good, maybe now would be a good time. And he is quite brave."
63 min: Ghoochannejhad blooters one wide from 30 yards. He's very isolated. Iran don't give a solitary one about piling forward. Someone should tell them you can't play for penalties in the group stage.
62 min: Ambroses's cross hits a player standing five yards away from him. The crowd whistles.
61 min: I'm quite enjoying how bad this game is. It's utter nonsense. Nothing is happening. But it makes you appreciate how good every other match has been.
60 min: Shola Ameobi at the World Cup, though.
59 min: "Seeing as this isn't the most thrilling game, next time there's a lull I was wondering if you could comment on the appointment of Alan Irvine as the new WBA boss?" says Richard Hooker. "There had been some chatter that Tim Sherwood might get the job, but it seems he couldn't be bothered. Among Baggies fans there's a feeling like Dad promising the new Nintendo for Christmas and winding up with a couple of satsumas."
You do realise you've just compared Tim Sherwood to a new Nintendo?
58 min: Ameobi pokes it to Emenike on the right side of the area. Emenike slashes wildly wide. Calm down!
57 min: This might be a boring game, but I'm keeping my spirits high by reminding myself that it won't be long before I'm wearing a nacho hat and I have a foaming pint of Coors Light in one hand and a hotdog in the other.
54 min: Azeez's low cross towards Ameobi at the near post is put behind by a sliding Sadeghi. Azeez wanders over to take the corner. Once again, it's a total waste of time and effort. "To my fellow Americans- Don't be to so thinned skinned," says ... I don't know who, actually. "Coor's is crap and it is still popular. If you want to strike back, ask Jacob who will get a World Cup final sooner, the U.S or the U.K."
Is this the end of the special relationship?
53 min: "Aspasian?" says Anomitra Saha. "That is plain crazy. We all know Spain would have won the Netherlands game if Aspas started instead of Costa."
In fairness, it wasn't the worst corner we've seen at this World Cup. Ahem. Wayne.
52 min: Remember where you were. This is a momentous occasion. Victor Moses is coming off and Shola Ameobi is coming on. Mark it down: 9.10pm, 16 June 2014, the moment Shola Ameobi made his World Cup debut.
50 min: Space for Ghoochannejhad on the edge of the Nigeria area. The Charlton striker's shot is harmless.
49 min: Moses has another try. Haghighi punches away but doesn't look remotely convincing as he does so, which is impressive given that there wasn't a Nigeria player near him. "Noble effort making the Iran/Nigeria game sound interesting," says Andrew Thurston. "It's shame you're stuck in London this evening; if you were in the USA, you could join "fans to cheer on the USMNT" courtesy of Budweiser."
48 min: Azeez's tame cross is deflected behind for a corner to Nigeria on the right. Victor Moses's corner is Aspasian.
47 min: Oshaniwa is down after a clash of heads. Which is a bad time to receive the following email. "This has been a very sportsmanlike match so far from both sides," says James Ferguson. "I hope the Hondurans are watching and taking notes. Re: the next game, I'm particularly happy that USA is not so 'good at FIFA' since I really want the Ghanaians to step out of the hand-of-Suarez-shaped shadow still lingering from South Africa."
46 min: Oh, Iran are doing one as well. Look, I think we've already seen that both teams doing a huddle at the same time is a bad idea if that first half is anything to go by. This is guaranteed to finish 0-0 now. Good going, guys.
Nigeria are doing another huddle. Worked so well for them last time.
"You say you're going to watch the USA match in a bar in London and Barry Glendenning says John Ashdown is sitting at the desk next to him listening to Clive Tyldesley," says Austin Baird. "So is anyone from the Guardian actually in Brazil? I feel so taken in by the podcast et al (I assume the bit where they're waiting for the flight was total rubbish in hindsight now) it seems as if I'm in the middle of an episode of the Prisoner where I don't know what's real and what's not."
All the important people from Big Paper are there. We have 12 people in Brazil. Check us out.
"Putting aside this game, how do you think tonight's matchup will go?" says Rachel. "USA or Ghana? Especially since now there's a real chance of the winner possibly advancing, instead of just pathetically scrabbling after Germany and Portugal."
I have no idea who'll win. That's probably not the answer you were looking for. But it's a tight game to call. Both teams seem evenly matched. I wonder if Ghana are being slightly under-estimated, though.
Half-time emails
"It's not possible to get smashed on Coors Light," roars Robin Rimmer. "You could have it pumped directly into your stomach at ten pints a second and you would still metabolise the teeny tiny amounts of alcohol faster than it enters your body. This would be the best way to drink it though, because the quick and painful death would be preferable to the taste of Coors Light."
"Back in college some 25 years ago, my roommates and I decided to have a "case day" where we each had to finish 24 beers in one day," says Agen Schmitz. "I chose Coors Light and I was the only one standing with the task completed at the end of the day."
"Drinking 10 pints of Coors-anything is dangerous -- it will result in water intoxication," says David Farrelly. "Now, 10 pints of Sierra Nevada and we're talking!"
"I knew I should have watched Corrie!" says Sean Moore. "Have Carla and Peter made up yet, can anyone confirm?"
"Not saying this game is boring but my friend Chappers has counted the flags in the pub on the Tottenham Court Road and discovered there are 6 extra flags - he now has half the pub trying to work which countries who aren't at the World Cup are being falsely represented," says Matt Jeary. "Most people are now arguing and googling like crazy."
"In answer to your question about how much Coors it takes to get smashed, the answer is that you would die from your gut exploding from water intake before you'd even feel a buzz coming on," says Mike Mason. "I have to agree with the previous comments though, most of us Americans, especially those who know anything about soccer or beer, don't call it FIFA or drink Coors Light. But I can see how our obnoxious media could lead a person to believe that."
"This has been a champagne tournament so far—but these teams are serving up flat Coors Light football," says Justin Kavanagh.
"Land of hope and glory???" says Alistair Reece, on whom there are no flies. "Isn't that the UK? You know, Mother of the Free and all that kind of thing....Do they not let you watch Last Night of the Proms at Guardian Towers?"
Half-time: Iran 0-0 Nigeria
A Coors Light of a first half is brought to an end. The crowd greets the referee's whistle with boos. "It's been awful," says Neil Lennon in the BBC studio.
45 min+1: Iran's Two Banks Of Four have completely stifled Nigeria. I knew we'd see TBOF at some point.
45 min: I'll drink ten pints of Coors Light if someone from either side does something interesting in the next minute.
42 min: These two teams are in danger of ruining my World Cup Spirit.
40 min: Emenike drags a poor shot wide from the left. Nothing is happening for Nigeria up front. Iran are comfortable now. "I suspect the term is coming from some hapless and hopelessly addicted fans of FIFA on Xbox," says Charles Bloomfield. "Their grasp of reality being so poor they are probably trying to control the Nigerians and Iranians now through their game controllers."
If that really is happening, then it seems they're completely smashed on Coors Light. Speaking of which, how much Coors Light do you need to drink to get completely smashed?
39 min: Now Onazi skews a dismal effort miles wide from 30 yards. It's not been a great couple of minutes for the midfielder. "Right beers, wrong sport," says David Schaefer. "Think NASCAR."
38 min: Onazi pings a pass straight out of play. Hmmm. Nigeria look increasingly anxious.
36 min: Emenike's aimless cross is headed away. There was no one in the middle. Nigeria need more focus.
34 min: Iran have their first corner. Teymourian's persistence forcing an error out of Musa. Dejagah swings it into the six-yard box where Ghoochannejhad's header is brilliantly kept out by Enyeama. What a save! Not only did he push it away, but he pushed it away from goal, ensuring that no Iran player could follow up on the rebound.
31 min: A free-kick to Nigeria on the left, around 40 yards from goal. Musa trots along to take it and everyone's waiting for a cross to the far post. Yet he spots that Haghighi has left a massive gap at his near post and tries to catch out the Iran goalkeeper with an audacious effort. The execution is impressive but Haghighi reacts well to fly across his goal and push it behind. The corner comes to nothing. "Way to go, Jacob – you found the one way to offend an American soccer fan," says Jim Prouix. "I would wager that a percentage down in the single digits of our little community ever drink Coors Light. Unlike the "two pints of lager and a packet of crisps" English fan, American soccer fans drink real, American craft (micro-brew) beer of every imaginable color, flavor and stripe. Insult me. Insult my football team. Insult MLS. But don't you dare insult my American IPA."
We're talking your Buds, your Bud lights, your Millers, right?
30 min: There's not much going on. Which means that the only way is up! Stay positive.
29 min: Oboabona's race is run. He can't continue because of that ankle injury. On comes Joseph Yobo, who's making his 98th appearance for Nigeria.
28 min: I suppose I should point out that I am an expert on all things American. Well, all things west coast. I don't want you to think I know nothing about the land of hope and glory.
26 min: Iran are defending quite deeply now. Nigeria are struggling to pick their way through. They need to be patient, not force the issue. Their decision-making in the final third has been found wanting on too many occasions. "I note that while Oliver Pattenden insists that at least one person has referred to it as "FIFA" per day (and I assume, as a good Guardian reader, he is an honest person), he has not said it's a different philistine each time," says James Hupp. "Perhaps he has one coworker who knows it annoys him. (Come to think of it, this could be true whatever the number.) In any event, I've never heard someone use that term for anything other than the EA video game or international governing body, and I'm, well.... :)"
24 min: Oboabona returns. He's going to give it a go. "As an Iranian-American, I don't know what I've found more disappointing - the insinuation that I'm a buffoon who apparently must refer to the World Cup as "the FIFA" while guzzling Coors Light or David Boyle's comment implying that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is still the president of Iran," says Mehrun Etebari. "Update your knowledge of other countries, people! Perhaps I'm pedantic, but imagine a world in which everyone associates you with Margaret Thatcher, Jacob."
My middle name is Margaret for a reason.
23 min: Oboabona hasn't come back on yet.
22 min: If I walk into the bar and shout "SPRING BREAK" and pull my shirt over my head, everyone will think I'm a laugh riot, won't they?
21 min: Nigeria are momentarily down to 10 men. Oboabona has gone off on a stretcher. "Firstly, you misspelled favorite," honks Gary Blunk. "No Coors Light is not that. Try some Arrogant Bastard Ale."
20 min: Another stoppage in play. Nigeria's centre-back, Oboabona, is down after an awkward landing. He might have twisted his ankle. It could be Joseph Yobo time. Unless Stephen Keshi decides to go for broke and brings on Shola Ameobi.
18 min: A lull. Iran are making it a bit more difficult for Nigeria now. They've sorted out their shape. The game has grown quite scrappy in the last few minutes. "Give the lad a season at Liverpool to put himself in the shop window and he barely lifts a finger," says Alistair Reece. "Put him in a Nigeria shirt and he plays like a man possessed. What gives Victor?" Maybe he was overawed by playing alongside Iago Aspas. Speaking of whom, why isn't he in the Spain squad?
17 min: Actually I'm quite excited about the USA game later, as I'm going to watch it in an American bar in London. As such, can someone advise me about suitable behaviour? You all drink Coors Light, right? That's your favourite?
15 min: I'm enjoying Nigeria. That is all.
14 min: A lot of Americans are emailing me. Is something happening later on? They seem giddy about something.
13 min: Iran are struggling to contain Moses. He drives to the left byline but just runs the ball out of play before crossing. Moses could do with a good World Cup after a fitful season on loan at Liverpool. He's an interesting talent, but his future is almost certainly not at Chelsea.
12 min: Onazi is back on. "I've never heard the tournament (or the sport) called 'FIFA' in the States before this World Cup, and I do think it's purely people who are tuning in for the first time, or who maybe pay attention to football once every four years," says Oliver Pattenden. "But I've still had at least one person a day so far do it. This morning, for example, a coworker emailed me: 'Any online links where FIFA will be streamed? :)'. The smiley face in the email lets you know it's from an authentic American."
9 min: Nigeria go so close again! Iran weren't able to clear properly after that first attack and Onazi's low slitherer from the edge of the area went inches wide! He seemed to injure himself as he was shooting, but he should be okay to continue after some treatment. "Spare a thought for the broadcast commentators on this one, those team sheets are going to require some top-level stuff from the play-by-play guys," says Daniel Stauss. Spare a thought for me.
8 min: Nigeria are utterly dominant. Iran can't cope with their cut and thrust up front. Emenike bursts past Moses on the left, effortlessly beating the hapless Hosseini, before sliding a low ball into the six-yard box. Somehow Musa can't convert under pressure at the far post. Iran are living dangerously. They should be behind. And...
7 min, the sequel: The ball is in the Iran net but the whistle had long gone for a foul on Haghighi by Mikel, challenging the goalkeeper as they went up for a corner. The ball dropped to Musa, who stabbed it into the roof of the net, but I think Iran's players had already stopped. That said, Haghighi was lucky. Mikel didn't do a lot.
7 min: What an atmosphere, by the way. Everyone's determined to have a fabulous time. I've never seen a Mexican Wave so early.
6 min: John Obi Mikel is quarter-backing with extreme efficiency, trying to hit long diagonal balls over the top for the dangerous Emenike. He's the player David Beckham wanted to be. "I'm American," announces Becky Kraft. "I've even left work to watch World Cup games with other Americans. I have never, ever heard someone call it "FIFA". That being said, one of my co-workers wasn't sure if (a) the World Cup is a "regular thing", (b) "if we, like, dominate that business", and (c) if that magic spray is really magic."
5 min: But here come Iran, Dejagah in space on the left. Not for long, though. He loses possession to Musa, who speeds off up the right. Nigeria won't want to tire themselves out too early.
3 min: Nigeria have started well. They're buzzing around in the Iran half with a ferocious intensity. Moses makes a nuisance of himself on the edge of the area, wheeling away from a marker and driving a low shot straight at Haghighi.
2 min: There's plenty of action in my inbox concerning Oliver Pattenden's Fifa comment. "No," says Kenneth Grabach. "I live in the States, have done my whole life. I've been following the World Cup since 1994. I've never heard any of them in that time referred to as "the FIFA" or to a match in a tournament as "a FIFA". But then, although I'm a bit older than the North American demographic for football (or soccer, there's a bit of weirdness going on over whether it's properly football or soccer. I thought the answer to that question was, "Yes") I am in touch with many younger men who avidly follow a Premier League club, an MLS club, and the USA Men's Team."
The huddles are done and we are off! Iran, kicking from right to left in the first half, get the game underway. We wait 45 seconds for the first foul, committed by Dejagah on Ambrose. Less of that, please.
Both sides are doing huddles. Does that mean they'll cancel each other out? Is that how this works? We're in serious danger of seeing the first draw of this World Cup now. "Thankfully, I haven't heard anyone talk about a "FIFA match" but if they are, blame us Americans and our irrational love of acronyms over any fondness for the organization itself," says Carl Swanson. "We're just ready to welcome everyone back in 2022 when, unsavory organizations and all."
Iran once sent a monkey into space. What's not to love about them? (Warning: clip contains grown-up language.)
Here come the teams. Oh, here they come! Nigeria are in green, Iran are in white and there's plenty of excitement in the stands as they emerge. "The Tehran Tigers v The Lagos Lions," says David Boyle. "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad v Goodluck Jonathan. The Ayatollah of Rock n Rolla v The Nigerian Prince's. What's not to like?"
"Living in the States during a World Cup is always fascinating, but this year is even more curious," says Oliver Pattenden. "For whatever reason (presumably the same predilection for sporting acronyms that leads them to instead on calling it the Premier League the 'EPL'), almost every American I know who has shown any remote interest in the World Cup has referenced the tournament as 'FIFA'. E.G. 'Do you know a good place to watch FIFA?' or 'Is there a FIFA game today?'. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a coincidence that as the rest of the world rejects FIFA as a bloated, corrupt, outdated, neocolonialist fraud, the Yanks have become somewhat fond of it?"
Does anyone refer to it as Pro Evo or Sensible Soccer?
"I like the idea of an MBM taking on the personality of the MBMer based on the quality of the match," says Daniel Stauss. "Personally, I prefer a high intensity match so that fewer emails have the chance to be Glendenninged, because he can be a bit mean-spirited at times. Since I don't use Twitter, I'll never be Parker'd during a US or MLS match.And I know it's cliché, but I'm pretending to work in my soul-eating cube today."
The MBMs that I do tend be witty, handsome, engaging, etc.
"Can we do an obo of what people are pretending to do while people are actually following your mbm," says Jeremy Dresner. "I'm pretending to watch game of thrones with mates while keeping my eye on your steinbergian utterances. I secretly want it to be a bad game so I don't feel like I missed out. It will be more steinbergian if there is less going on anyway."
I'm pretending to be a journalist. Don't tell anyone, I don't think they've clocked on, I think I'm getting away with this.
Shola Ameobi has scored against Barcelona. You haven't.
"The good thing about Nigeria's World Cup exits is that we always have someone to blame, we never have to deal with a general inadequacy," says Ore Popoola. "Last World Cup was Sani Kaita, who decided to be stupid and earned himself a red card in the penultimate match against Greece while we were up 1-0. We ended up losing 2-1, he's not played for us since then. And also Yakubu Aiyegbeni for THAT miss against South-Korea in the final match. I thought I was going crazy. He's not played for us also since then. 2006 World Cup, we didn't qualify, 2002, I only remember Ronaldo's hair style (can we even call it that??). I've been traumatized. 1998, I was probably still in diapers."
But they'll always have that win over Spain in 1998.
Sammy Ameobi is pleased.

Iran v Nigeria. Nigeria v Iran. Iran v Nigeria. Nigeria v Iran. Iran versus Nigeria. Nigeria versus Iran. Iran against Nigeria. Nigeria against Iran. Iran take on Nigeria. Nigeria take on Iran. Nigeria v Iran. NIGERIA V IRAN. STEPHEN KESHI VERSUS CARLOS QUEIROZ. No, whatever way you try to spin this one, it's a hard sell.
Or at least it would be in normal circumstances. That's been the beauty of this World Cup. It's not been a normal World Cup and while this looks like one of the more unappealing fixtures on paper, a chance for you to reintroduce yourself to polite society, maybe have a shower, get dressed, shave, have something to eat that doesn't require a complementary dip, let's not be hasty and judge a book by its cover. We haven't had a bad game yet – even Switzerland and Ecuador provided us with a last-minute winner – so there's no reason to dismiss Iran and Nigeria, just because. I trust them. And if all else fails, we could be about to witness
Carl Cort's Kieran Gibbs'
Shola Ameobi's World Cup debut. At last.
Anyway Nigeria are one of the more intriguing sides in the competition. A disappointment in South Africa four years ago, exiting in the group stage with only one point, the impressive Keshi has done a fine job since taking over in 2011. The Super Eagles won the Africa Cup of Nations last year, they weren't too shabby at the Confederations Cup and then there's the endless fascination of seeing John Obi Mikel passing forward. Will wonders never cease?
As for Iran, they won't be holding out too much hope of qualifying from this group. Their build-up has been fairly shambolic. Their kit shrinks in the wash, they've had 11 players turn up for training camps and matches cancelled due to a lack of funds. Queiroz looks like he could explode any day now, although he's doing well to put on a brave face and keep his emotions under control and he has created a team that will seek to be hard to break down based on their record in qualifying. He'll be gone soon anyway, so he might as well enjoy it. No point getting too worked up. It is what it is. The World Cup. In Brazil. Life could be worse.
Kick-off: 8pm BST.

The drop rates omg the drop rates.
I'm close to giving up. Been camping a rare for days on end, still no drop.
<1% drop rates are fucking bullshit. I'm going to go insane if I keep this up.
The drop rates omg the drop rates.
I'm close to giving up. Been camping a rare for days on end, still no drop.
<1% drop rates are fucking bullshit. I'm going to go insane if I keep this up.
heres some info for you:
the droprates of rares were lowered. therefore, all elitemobs (that ones you farm 20 of on daily basis) will now also drop tokens. the best way to get tokens still is to gamble at the apes chest den.
note one thing: the more equip you already have fitting your needs, the more painful it SEEMS to be to get the parts that are missing, cause the number of "fitting" slots reduces.
i wish you better luck anyways. maybe your shaman or hunter, i could give you all my uneccessary rolls ;-) i could have slotted a shaman 4 times by now, while my one leather class is still not ready ;-)
I'm not too upset considering I have like 15 free slots with royal satchels in every bag slot since Blizzard refuses to acknowledge the storage problem.
To top it off, many of the rare elites are killed within seconds of spawning because they have next to no health. If i get a lei shen trinket proc, most mobs on the isle with sub 5 million are going to die in 10 seconds are less. Remember rares on isle of thunder with base 6 million which doubled if someone hit them? that mechanic is in on this isle, but too many rares have no hp, so who cares if a rare with 2 million goes to 3 million. Just a tiny bit more hp to kill. The weather cores, the mount from huolon, and many other items, like the battle of the barnacle event are too rare, or dead when you get to the rare to tag it. The isle is inconveniently designed too, in that a small group of people with censor can efficiently lock off half the isle by controlling the choke points south before you get to the bridge, making it that much harder to get to the higher altitude regions of the isle. THEN people call it an exploit if you swim out to fatigue waters, and fly up and levitate to places on the isle.
In short, i'm digging the isle as a whole, just there are too many oversights or bad design decisions and WAY too many 1% drop chance items from rares you can barely tag to begin with.
The rares die too fast as mentioned. I'm about halfway done with the achievement meta myself, but was saddened to see the criteria is not account wide. The worst one will probably be the sprite as I've gotten the elite about 11 times out of 12 attempts and no pet. I'm also really low on bagspace and even so the charges on the stones is really lame.
Stay salty my friends.
one.... more.... for the achi.
zesqua's rain stone is all i need.
I fully plan to come back at level 95 to grind emperor rep and get all those various achievements. It will be so much easier then.
Got the achievement nearly a week ago, did it all on my home server (Stormrage) where rares die within 20 seconds of spawning, it just took a dedicated camp-path. Imo the hardest ones to get were ones I couldn't camp, like the Spineclaw crab, Death Adder Hatchling and Glinting Pile of Stone.
It just requires a lot of time investment. Getting the achievement 2 and a half weeks into the patch, I'd estimate I spent about 8 hours a day on the isle. Yes, I have no life.
Don't know how people have problems with bag space. I rarely run out of room. Of course I don't hoard every single vanity item and have it sit in my bank for 5 years. Some vanity items are neat but the majority of them should be trashed when looted.
I have no problem with the charges or bag space or the achievements. If anything, I'll wait for the next xpac and then come to the isle at the new max level to work on them when there's nobody else around.
Agree on the charges thing... it's pretty stupid.
I can understand how items like the BREZ might have charges since that can drastically affect gameplay, but some vanity item like the Falling Flame? Why?
Also, why would they make Huo'lon's mount non tradeable among the people who downed him. Literally three out of the 50 players who took him out once last night got the mount, and two of them already had it.
So they threw it away.
Why Blizz?
they are pretty rare, but if you stick with it you will get them eventually.
seems like a bit of a hard slog, better put some music on and zone out! it will be one heck of a grind
Oi! Hey you! Will you check out my latest podcast episode that discusses tomb raiders & curses!

This week on the podcast I have interview Ed Dale the godfather of market leadership. At the beginning of 2012 I made a short list of who I wanted to have on my podcast by the end of the year. And Ed Dale was on that list. It goes to show you how powerful it is when you pick a goal and write it down. Imagine how thrilled I was when my goal was coming to fruition before the end of 2012. Ed Dale's Definition Of Market Leadership Ed defines market leadership as: Content X Consistency Here are some of the highlights of our conversation. How local businesses become market leaders Everyone can be a publisher The importance of Facebook and yelp reviews Businesses must be creating content Small businesses have to get on board even if they are busy A Siri demonstration from Australia Web sites must be mobile friendly 50% of searches for local businesses will be mobile in the next two years I also asked Ed what he would do if his uncle work to ask him how to get a business a fantastic web presence in today's Internet climate. Here's what he said. Get a website that's mobile friendly Create a Facebook page for your business Get your business on Google plus Ed Dale On Creating Content Ed has been creating a staggering amount of content over the last few years. He has a lot of really interesting philosophies and techniques that he shares in this interview. Here are some of the ideas. The hardest part of creating content is starting Give yourself permission to be awful at first Don't compare your first draft to everyone's final results The beauty of the ritual Schedule your content creation into your calendar Some Predictions It was awesome to hear that Ed is a big fan of podcasting. His Internet Marketing This Week podcast was one of the very first podcasts I ever listened to. He believes that we are at the beginning of a resurgence in podcasting right now. And obviously I couldn't agree more. Ed's Links Ed's Blog Ed's Book Of The Year Post - Awesome Ed's Facebook Graph Search PDF Link Facebook's Graph Search Video Ed on Twitter Ed's Facebook Page

With meeting the current EPA standard, it employs two systems. The first being a Diesel Particulate Filter or DPF. The second system is called Selective Catalytic Reduction or SCR. Both of the systems are addressed on the exhaust side of the engine called after treatment devices or ATD. Why? EPA required over the last several years to reduce Diesel Particulate (DP) matter and nitrogen oxide (NOx) to almost zero, these items are a leading cause of greenhouse gasses. Identification of System Components View Cummins Emissions video on Hendersonfireonline.com DPF Functions Regeneration Types: Passive Active Regeneration- Regeneration- Passive Regeneration Occurs when the vehicle's duty cycle and exhaust temperature drive the continuous oxidation of carbon. No incremental actions are required by the engine or operator to keep the DPF clean. This typically occurs when the vehicle is driven at high speeds (i.e., highway speeds) and/or under heavy loads. Active Regeneration Required when the duty cycle does not generate enough heat to convert all the carbon being collected in the DPF. In this case, the Engine Control Module (ECM) initiates an active regeneration by injecting a small amount of Diesel Fuel into the exhaust stream, which generates heat as it enters the DOC. The additional heat ensures that the excess carbon is oxidized without any operator intervention. Active regeneration will occur more frequently in vehicles with low speed, low load, or stop and go duty cycles. Active Regeneration Active regeneration only occurs if the engine ECM has detected that the after treatment DPF restriction has reached a specified limit, and may only occur if the vehicle is moving above the speed threshold or in pump mode. The engine ECM will activate and de-activate active regeneration as needed. The speed threshold for active regeneration to occur is 20 mph. Note: The Cummins engines are set up to allow an active regeneration while in pump mode. Active Regeneration Active regeneration is largely transparent to the vehicle operator. The operator might notice an increase in turbocharger noise during an active regeneration event, and may notice the high exhaust temperature lamp is illuminated, if the exhaust temp is greater than the high exhaust temperature set threshold. The high exhaust temperature lamp will illuminate at a speed less than 45 mph at an exhaust temperature between 662 F to 1472 F. DPF Dash Lamps/Indicators Indicator Light Bar Graphic Multifunction Message Center Note: Some Indicator Light lamps descriptions may also display in the Graphic Multifunction Message Center. These will have the "Check Message" Lamp illuminated in the Indicator Light Bar to alert operator more information is available in the Message Center. High Exhaust System Temperature (HEST) Lamp Illuminated The HEST Lamp illuminates to indicate that high exhaust temperatures may exist due to after-treatment regeneration. This is normal and does not signify the need for any kind of vehicle or engine service. When this lamp is illuminated, ensure that the exhaust pipe outlet is not directed at any combustible surface or material. After treatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Lamp Illuminated The After treatment DPF Lamp indicates, when illuminated or flashing, that the after treatment DPF requires regeneration. This is accomplished by the following: 1. 2. Our apparatus is equipped with a Regeneration Inhibit Switch; ensure that the switch is not in the Inhibit position. Perform DPF regeneration by one of the following methods: a. Change to a more challenging duty cycle, such as highway driving, for at least 20 minutes. OR b. Perform a parked regeneration. After treatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Lamp Flashing If regeneration is not performed in a timely manner after the DPF Lamp is illuminated, the DPF Lamp will begin to flash. This indicates a higher level of soot in the DPF. a. Change to a more challenging duty cycle, such as highway driving, for at least 20 minutes. OR b. Perform a parked regeneration. After treatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Lamp Flashing with Warning or Check Engine Lamp A flashing DPF Lamp combined with an illuminated Warning or Check Engine Lamp indicates that the after treatment DPF needs regeneration immediately. A parked regeneration is required. After treatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Lamp Stop Engine Lamp If a parked regeneration is not performed, the red Stop Engine Lamp will illuminate. The vehicle should be stopped as soon as it is practical and safe to do so. Contact the Fire Shop so they can arrange a tow for repair at an authorized Cummins repair location. Note: Cummins engines calibrated for emergency vehicle use are programmed to not reduce power or speed due to soot load. However, excessive soot load may impact engine performance and or damage to DPF and engine components. DPF Manual Inhibit Switch The purpose of this switch is to prevent or disable after treatment DPF regeneration. Can be used at a scene or in a situation that would cause damage or harm by High Exhaust Temperatures (Note: when parking be aware of exhaust outlet location proximity to combustible items). CAUTION: Unnecessary or excessive use of the Regeneration Inhibit Switch will result in an increased need for parked regeneration or may result in the need to service or replace the Cummins Particulate Filter. How to Perform a Parked (Stationary) Regeneration Ensure the DPF Lamp is illuminated or flashing: Park the vehicle in an appropriate location. Preferably on a surface that will NOT burn or melt under high exhaust temperatures (such as clean concrete or gavel, NOT grass or asphalt) Set the parking brake. Place transmission in Neutral, and allow at least 40 minutes for the regeneration. Set up a safe exhaust area (minimum 2 feet clear of exhaust outlet). Items that can burn, melt or explode MUST be kept a minimum of 5 feet away from exhaust. Confirm that nothing is on or near the exhaust system surfaces. Ensure that there are no gases or vapors nearby that could burn, explode or contribute to a fire. How to Perform a Parked (Stationary) Regeneration Confirm that Compartment #8 Safe Step is in the up (closed) position away from exhaust. If the Safe Step is left down during the regeneration process or pump mode, paint damage will occur. How to Perform a Parked (Stationary) Regeneration Ensure that your High-idle switch is off before starting regeneration. How to Perform a Parked (Stationary) Regeneration Push the red Manual Regeneration switch located below the pump panel shifter assembly to begin a parked regeneration. Note: Engine speed will increase, and there may be a noticeable change to the sound of the turbocharger during the regeneration process. How to Perform a Parked (Stationary) Regeneration Once the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is regenerated, the engine will automatically return to the normal idle speed. Monitor the vehicle and surrounding area during regeneration. If any unsafe condition occurs, shut off the engine immediately. To stop a parked regeneration, depress the brake or throttle pedal. Drive away as normal. If after driving the DPF Light is still illuminated, start the parked regeneration procedures again. Once regeneration is complete, exhaust gas and exhaust surface temperatures will remain elevated for 3 to 5 minutes. WARNING: During regeneration, exhaust gas temperature could reach 1500 degrees, and exhaust system surface temperature could exceed 1300 degrees, which is hot enough to ignite or melt common materials, and to burn people. How to Perform a Parked (Stationary) Regeneration Note: In vehicle, Cummins DPF placard is located on the underside of the center dash electrical access panel. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is required for an engine equipped with a SCR system. Diesel Exhaust Fluid 67.5% de-ionized water and 32.5% urea May have a slight ammonia smell Is colorless Is non-toxic and non-polluting Is non-flammable Urea is naturally occurring and is biodegradable. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Is corrosive for some metals such as carbon steel, aluminum, copper and zinc. Do not get the substance in your eyes. In case of contact, flush with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes. SEE MSDS for additional information. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. In case of contact, wash immediately with soap and water. If not washed immediately, when the DEF dries, a white film will be left that can be more difficult to wash off. If spilled, rinse and clean immediately with water. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Has a shelf life of two years. However, this can be reduced if the fluid is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time or if the temperature of the DEF remains above 77°F (25°C) for sustained periods. All DEF packaging should be labeled with the expiration date. Note: DEF fluid is made mostly of de-ionized water, just a small amount of regular tap water introduced into the DEF tank can cause contamination and malfunctions to the emissions systems. If cleaning funnel prior to filling tank, wash thoroughly to remove any contaminants and then rise with distilled water. If distilled water is unavailable, ensure the funnel is completely dry before using it. DEF Tank Supplied with the Rosenbauer engine and is 6 gallons. Located on driver's side crew cab step-well behind access door. Should last about two-50 gallon diesel fuel ups. DEF Lamps and Gauges DEF Lamp Illuminated An illuminated DEF is an indication that the DEF level is low (15% remaining). This can be corrected by refilling the DEF tank. DEF Lamp Flashing A flashing DEF lamp indicates that the DEF level has fallen below a critical level (10% remaining). This can be corrected by refilling the DEF tank. DEF Lamp Flashing with Check Engine Light A flashing DEF Lamp combined with an illuminated Warning or Check Engine Lamp indicates that the DEF level is critically low (5%). A speed inducement of 55 mph will be enacted the first time the ignition switch is cycled off then back on. The speed limit of 55 mph will be suspended during pumping operations. Normal engine power and vehicle speed will be restored after the DEF tank is refilled. DEF Lamp Stop Engine Lamp, MIL Lamp with flashing DEF and warning Check Engine Lamp If the engine has been shut down after the DEF tank has run dry, the Stop Engine lamp will also be illuminated, along with the flashing DEF Lamp and illuminated Warning or Check Engine Lamp. A speed inducement of 25 mph will be enacted the first time the ignition switch is cycled off then back on. The speed limit of 25 mph will be suspended during pumping operations. Normal engine power and vehicle speed will be restored after the DEF tank is refilled. Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illuminated Used on engines that are equipped with On-board Diagnostics (OBD), the emission control system monitors and reports malfunctions that impact the emission control devices. If the OBD detects such a malfunction, the on-board diagnostic system illuminates the MIL to indicate that the engine needs to be serviced at the first available opportunity. The MIL can be illuminated along with any of the engine indicator lamps. Spartan DEF Level Gauge and Info Center DEF Level Chart DEF Supplies and Refilling The city shop will provide the required amount of DEF after each PM. If at some point you run low of DEF then call the warehouse to get the required fluid. Due to the shelf life of DEF, the city shop will give you the minimum amount to get you thru until the next PM. Refilling of the DEF tank will not be any different than the policy of refueling the diesel tank, when you reach ¾ tank then refill. Items the Driver Will Notice After treatment System Under certain conditions (Cold or very dry), condensation in the form of water vapor can be seen coming from the vehicle tailpipe. This is normal. It will clear within a few minutes of normal vehicle operation. Items the Driver Will Notice Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Specific: After turning the ignition switch off, A pumping sound may be heard from underneath the vehicle (can last up to 60 seconds). This sound is the after treatment DEF dosing unit purging any unused DEF from the system and returning it to the tank. This is normal. Items the Driver Will Notice Engine Sounds The ISX15 engine is equipped with a feature to warm up the after treatment system under various conditions. This "Warm Up" feature can cause slight sound changes during idle. These sounds are normal. The electric-actuated VGT Turbocharger causes the engine sound to vary at different times. This is normal. A slight turbo whistle may also be observed at idle conditions. Compression brakes are quieter on engines with after treatment. Items the Driver Will Notice Exhaust After prolonged idle, you may notice momentary white vapor and an odor. This is normal. When the High Exhaust System Temperature Lamp is illuminated, you may notice an odor. If the odor is excessive and you also notice white vapor, have the exhaust system inspected for leaks. Summary Do not ignore any check engine, DPF, or DEF warning lights. Regenerate or refill based upon indicator lights to avoid engine damage, power or speed inducements.

Infinite Crisis, a joint venture between Warner Brothers and Turbine, is the newest game to seek out a piece of the free-to-play MOBA genre market currently dominated by League of Legends. Infinite Crisis offers players a chance to take on the role of their favorite superheroes and villains from the DC Comics Multiverse and also offers some new and unique changes to the MOBA scene. The game is incredibly fun, but since it only recently entered its open beta phase, there is still work to be done. Even though the game hasn't been finalised yet, Infinite Crisis is already showing it has the potential to become a truly legitimate challenger to League of Legends.
The immediate appeal of Infinite Crisis is being able to play as characters from the DC Comics Multiverse. Players who have grown up admiring Green Arrow and Flash can now play as them in a MOBA setting, and those who have always preferred the villains like Joker, Poison Ivy, or Doomsday will not be disappointed. Additionally, players have access to characters from alternate DC universes, such as Gaslight Batman, Atomic Wonder Woman, and Nightmare Superman.
At first glance, the gameplay is very similar to League of Legends. Players queue up to join a 5v5 team battle in either Gotham Heights, a Dominion style map where players fight over five objectives, or Gotham Divided, the traditional three lane classic battle mode. Characters gain coins and experience by killing NPC drones, urban jungle robots, or other characters. Players then use coins to purchase new equipment, and experience is used to gain levels, increase attributes, and level up skills.
The Infinite Crisis gameplay does offer some fun and interesting changes from other MOBAs. The first, and probably most unique, is the use of environmental objects, destructible terrain, and catastrophic events. Certain objects around the map, namely cars and fallen meteors, can be picked up and thrown at enemies. Once those cars have been destroyed, they no longer block the ground where they originally stood, meaning new routes can be opened between lanes by interacting with the terrain. Additionally, when some turrets are destroyed they explode, causing environmental objects to be destroyed as well. The mayhem of thrown cars and exploding terrain is not only fun, but it also adds a new layer of tactical play to the map.
The urban jungle and buffs to be gain from jungling is another area where Infinite Crisis has taken steps to stand out from other MOBAs. Instead of players immediately getting a buff for killing a certain jungle camp, the game uses a series of deployable beacons to give advantages. At the start of the game, each team has a healing beacon, a speed boost beacon, and a surveillance camera available at their base. Any member of the team can pick up these items for use, but only the surveillance camera will automatically respawn to be used again after a few minutes.
Securing new buffs for the team is the job of the jungler. As camps are cleared, the healing and speed beacons appear back at the team's base, and after the appropriate camps have been destroyed enough times, the buffs become more powerful. On the center line of the map in each of the outer lanes, two EMP buffs can be gained by defeating another camp. The EMP beacon can be especially powerful as it deactivates all enemy turrets and drones in an area for a few seconds, making EMPs especially useful for tower diving. This newer, more tactical system of jungling and gaining buffs makes the jungler a much more rewarding role than simply ganking lanes.
While Infinite Crisis is a lot of fun to play, the game only recently started its open beta phase, and there are some issues holding back the game. Queue times and the matchmaking system appear to be two of the bigger issues, and they go hand-in-hand. In order to make matches more competitive and enjoyable, Turbine has set new parameters on matchmaking to keep player levels closer together. The downside of doing this for a new game with a low population is that players can spend much more time, between five and ten minutes, looking for a game. Without these queue time delays, players would often find themselves on mismatched teams. As it is, many teams still suffer from at least one feeder, afker, or leaver, and the game does not have a surrender mechanism yet, another issue that needs to be addressed.
The game can also be very difficult for someone new to the MOBA genre. The game lacks any real tutorial mode; a few YouTube videos are the help only Turbine gives players. This means that brand new players are thrust into a PvP match where they have to learn the game for the first time. This can lead to new players feeding the enemy team, which can be very frustrating for them and their teammates. While this can be annoying for some, this problem does get better as players gain overall protector levels and move up a tier or two in the matchmaking system.
Turbine is aware that a better tutorial mode is needed, and they have made it one of their top priorities. In fact, Turbine appears to have a very good handle on all of the issues in the game, and they have provided plenty of information on their forums to let players know that all of the major issues are receiving attention. From movement and targeting issues to a better afk/leaver system, the developers understand what needs to be addressed, and they make regular progress on these issues.
While a tutorial may still be in the works, the amazing community of Infinite Crisis players has provided plenty of information, guides and videos to help players of all skill levels up their game. Dawnbase.com is an independent, player-created site with hundreds of guides on champions, items, stolen powers, and amplifiers. Pro gamer Krashy, a member of the professional VexX Gaming team and one of the top Infinite Crisis players in the world, has put together many helpful videos on his YouTube channel. Infinite Crisis is already showing that its community of players is dedicated to disseminating useful information to enhance the enjoyment of this great game for all players.
While Infinite Crisis might still be incomplete in its open beta phase, the game is still tremendously fun to play. Maybe it's because players can take on the roles of their favorites DC Comics personalities, or maybe it's because cars can be picked up off the battlefield and thrown at enemies. It might be the more tactical jungle and buff system, or it just might be the great players in the Infinite Crisis community. It might even be that this game is new enough to not have an ultra-competitive ranked focus, but whatever the reason, Infinite Crisis is the most fun MOBA online right now. It may not have the full polish or 100+ champions of League of Legends, but right now, I'll take the pure enjoyment of Infinite Crisis over League, DotA, or Dawngate.

Untitled 1 - Soft Wall Sculpture
Untitled 1 (2016): A soft tactile sculpture made from found fabrics, threads and fibers.
Dimensions when hanging: 3'(width) x 80"(length)
Jenny Rask is an emerging visual artist originally from Portland, Oregon. She works predominantly with textiles and fibers building soft sculptures. She received her BA in Journalism and Photography from the University of Oregon. In the early 90's at the age of 20, she moved to NYC and worked as an accomplished graphic designer for MTV and her own company 'Thingy' profiled in magazines like The Face, Big and I.D. Magazine. Her design and directing work at the time was directly influenced by her fanatical photo documenting of the subtle beauty found in waste masses, unusual fashion and accidental arrangements in the streets of New York. Thirst quenching textures and colors in mundane discarded human belongings birthed a deep fondness for tactile fibers, textiles masses and odd groupings of color. She considers her work as an act of resistance to the traditional, expected final product of fiber art forms and how it is perceived as a woman's craftwork. This spirit of defiance is demonstrated in her deliberate sabotage of conventional weaving and sewing methods to creat spirited structures with found common materials.
Jenny currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

Buzz Williams and Marquette Volleyball to 'Dig Pink'
Oct. 15, 2013
Donate Now | Marquette 'Dig Pink' Auctions
MILWAUKEE - For the second-straight year the Marquette University women's volleyball team will have a little extra incentive during its annual "Dig Pink" campaign in support of the Side-Out Foundation's ongoing fight against breast cancer.
Buzz Williams, head men's basketball coach at Marquette, will team with women's volleyball head coach Bond Shymansky in blue-and-gold-striped overalls at MU's Friday, Nov. 22 match against Xavier if the Marquette community can raise over $7,000 by that date for breast cancer research.
"We have such a vested interest in fundraising for the fight against breast cancer that it continues to be a cause near and dear to our program," Shymansky said. "It is awesome that Buzz has agreed to be a part of our efforts to help us reach our goal of $7,000."
Last season, Shymansky agreed to sport the bib overalls of the Marquette Maniacs student section during a match if his squad rose over $5,000 during the month of October.
"I have seen Buzz wear some pretty interesting outfits on the sidelines, but a pair of blue and gold striped overalls will really take the cake," Shymansky said. "Buzz's willingness to poke a little fun at himself is a great example of doing whatever we can to raise awareness and money to find the cure for breast cancer."
Fans will be able to help Marquette reach its goal by attending its annual "Dig Pink" Breast Cancer Awareness match on Sunday, Oct. 27 against Georgetown, which features $2 admission for fans wearing pink as well as various other activities in support of breast cancer research.
Donations can be made on Marquette's Side-Out Foundation profile (http://go.mu.edu/DigPink) as well as per-dig pledges for its match against the Hoyas. MU will also have "Dig Pink" t-shirts for sale at all home matches for $10, as well as autographed pink mini volleyballs for $20 and four online auctions with all proceeds going towards its fundraising campaign.
The Golden Eagles raised a total of $5,155 in 2012 through t-shirt sales, online pledges, in-match promotions and donations on a per-dig basis for their Oct. 21 match against Louisville.
All proceeds gathered throughout the month of October, which is recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the first three weeks of November, will benefit the Side-Out Foundation. The foundation awards grants to medical research organizations and entities dedicated to providing compassionate support to breast cancer patients and their families.
