Also called pyramid selling or network marketing, multi-level marketing companies grow revenue by hiring and recruiting non-salaried employees referred to as distributors, influencers, consultants, salespeople, or promoters (among other names). In other words, employees generally receive compensation from performance through a pyramid-shaped compensation system.
Before you start trying to generate more leads, make sure you know who you're trying to reach and where you might be able to find them—physically or virtually. First, identify the need or want that your product or service can address. For instance, joining your direct sales business can help a person fulfill a need for more income. Perhaps the wellness products you sell can help people meet their desire to stay healthy.
4) Treat your MLM business like a business. Despite what you might hear, MLM isn't a get rich scheme. Like any business it requires you to define your target market, reach out to your market, and make sales.You have a sponsor to help you, but she isn't going to do the work for you.Your success in MLM or any business is based on the quality of work you do.
I purchased yalls program. Going through the modules a second time. I have to focus on using Twitter platform not FakeBook who doesn't like my business apparently. Wasted $15k in 2017 and they put me in FakeBook Jail. For what? Who knows. They have robots for employees not real people. Anyways done with my rant. The modules are great. Very well laid out.
On a side note, I started using doTERRA about five years ago and love the oils! I didn't join them to sell, or make money. I just wanted to raise awareness in what they could do and help with for individuals and families, as they did me and mine. In fact, many of my friends are now distributors (not under me). Lost opportunities? Not at all, in my book. More power to them! Back to R + F, and a little more insight from you would certainly scratch an itch.
The binary compensation plan has recently gained popularity because of its simplicity and the growth opportunities involved. Unfortunately, the plan has been so misused that it has been hit with many state and federal regulations. Government actions against such companies have been very public, resulting in bad press for the companies and a bad reputation for MLMs using the binary compensation plan.
Let's face it, everyone in a home business wants high quality mlm leads. What they don't want is the high price normally associated with them. OppSeekers has developed methods to get you the quality business opportunity leads you need at the price you want. By utilizing cutting edge mlm lead generation technology, OppSeekers gathers top quality more efficiently home based business opportunity leads and then passes the savings on to you.
We offer state-of-the-art lead generation to save you time and money by providing you with the highest quality leads for your unique business opportunity. If you're looking for quality leads, we make the highest quality available to you! We have all of our bases covered so that you can work on building up your Network Marketing, Home Based Business, or Business opportunity with ease.
Networking, as it used to be called, is a pretty thankless task. The conventional approach to networking was to start with the network of friends and colleagues that you already have; friends and family, your existing clients, your contacts at the squash club and so on. Most people feel uncomfortable pitching to friends and family, unless you have an unbeatable idea or concept, but if that was the case, then lead generation would not be a problem
My network marketing Leads are the best way to follow the golden proverb that somebody must have dropped coming down the mountain, because when it fell, it hit so hard that everyone doesn't think twice about it just being plan common sense. And I don't know why it isn't folded into every California cookie because it is the best way to gain a fortune. This proverb that needs much repeating is "Work smarter, not harder."
Fll-Inc can handle the pre-qualification of Business Opportunity Leads. This can be accomplished by gaining information from the leads about what their needs and goals may be. All of the leads are followed up with and examined carefully to ensure that they are suitable Business Opportunity Leads and that they will be able to provide the level of success or results that are desired.
FLP may not be the wealthiest MLM on this list, but they deserve a spot because of their long-term dedication to the aloe vera plant and products made from it. Few MLMs display such product dedication and integrity as FLP. And few MLM's have such a concentrated niche. That screams longevity over the other hundreds of other "full service wellness" companies.

Family Affairs is a British soap opera that was aired on Channel 5. First broadcast on 30 March 1997, there were five, thirty-minute episodes shown per week. It did not gain high ratings. Subsequently producers rejuvenated the cast, the style and changed the fictional location. On 2 August 2005, Channel 5 announced they would not renew Family Affairs. Production ceased on 4 November, and the final episode was broadcast on 30 December 2005. The series was shot on video to give a film look. In 1999 and 2004, single episodes switches to standard video presentation were carried out. Producer Sean O'Connor implemented the format from September 2005 until the final episode.

The Bill is a police procedural television series that was broadcast on the ITV network from 16 October 1984 until 31 August 2010. The programme originated from a one-off drama, entitled Woodentop, which was broadcast in August 1983. In its final year on air, The Bill was broadcast once a week, usually on Tuesdays or Thursdays, in a one-hour format. The programme focused on the lives and work of one shift of police officers, rather than on any particular aspect of police work. At the time of the series' conclusion, The Bill was the longest-running police procedural television series in the United Kingdom, and was among the longest-running of any British television series. The series was produced by Thames Television. The series name originated from "Old Bill", a slang term for the police. This was also Geoff McQueen's original title idea for the series, before he eventually decided on "The Bill".
Although highly acclaimed amongst fans and critics alike, the series attracted controversy on several occasions. An episode broadcast in 2008 was criticised for featuring fictional treatment for multiple sclerosis, and another episode in the same year resulted in litigation, submitted by MP George Galloway for defamation. The series has also faced more general criticism, concerning the levels of violence it portrays, particularly prior to 2009, when it occupied a pre-watershed slot. During its time on air, The Bill won several awards, including BAFTAs, a Writers' Guild of Great Britain award and the title of "best drama" at the Inside Soap Awards in 2009, the latter being the series' fourth consecutive win. Throughout its twenty-seven-year run, the programme was always broadcast on the main ITV network. In later years, episodes of the show were repeated on ITV3 on their week of broadcast. The series has also been repeated on other digital stations, including UKTV Gold, Alibi, Watch and UKTV G2. In March 2010, executives at ITV announced that the network did not intend to recommission The Bill, and that filming on the series would cease on 14 June 2010. The last ever episode of the series was aired on 31 August 2010.

BJP will organise Seva Saptah to mark PM Modi's birthday: Union Minister Arjun Meghwal
A host of programmes and exhibitions will be held all over the country from September 14 to 20 to highlight the significance of social service which is close to Modi's heart, Meghwal told reporters.
Published: 04th September 2019 10:15 PM | Last Updated: 04th September 2019 10:15 PM | A+A A-
BHUBANESWAR: The BJP will organise a week-long "Seva Saptah" or Service Week across the country to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday on September 17 to highlight programmes like cleanliness and wiping out single- use plastic, Union Minister Arjun Meghwal said on Wednesday.
A host of programmes and exhibitions will be held all over the country from September 14 to 20 to highlight the significance of social service which is close to Modi's heart, Meghwal told reporters here.
A campaign will be launched to wipe out single-use plastic, an environmental hazard, by BJP leaders and workers in line with the clarion call given by the Prime Minister in his independence day address to the nation, the Union Minister of State in the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation said.
"As Modiji has called for launching a mass movement against single-use plastic, we will try to involve various organisations in the campaign. Seminars will also be organised in schools, colleges and other educational institutions to make students aware," the BJP leader said.
Awareness will also be created among students and others about the importance of water conservation.
Meghwal is a member of the four-member central committee formed by BJP to make the campaign a success.
Meghwal said exhibitions highlighting the life and achievements of Modi will be organised in different cities and towns across the country as part of the Seva Saptah.
The party workers will also organise blood donation camps, health camps and eye check-up as part of the campaign.
BJP workers and leaders will also visit hospitals, old-age homes and orphanages to provide help and relief to patients and underprivileged, he said.
Differently-abled people will also be extended assistance during the week-long campaign.
During the week, books inspired by the life and achievements of Modi will be distributed among people by senior leaders at special events to be organised.
A special committee has also been constituted for organising different programmes in Odisha during the week with opposition deputy leader in the state assembly, Bishnu Sethi as its Convenor.

Pick Me Up Foundation Carries On Musician's Generosity
A Columbia family is honoring the memory of their son and brother by introducing music to kids who don't have the resources to purchase an instrument or take lessons.
A Columbia family is honoring the memory of their son and brother by introducing music to kids who don't have the resources to purchase an instrument or take lessons.
If you had told me six years ago that I would be joining the board of the Howard County Chamber of Commerce as its Young Professionals Network representative, I would have asked, "What the heck is a chamber of commerce?" Well, a lot has changed since I moved back to Maryland after college in 2009.
Howard County is just one of 30-plus offices across the globe for Camber Corporation, which has 2,300 employees and does about $435 million in business. The firm provides daily interface on technical, programmatic and operations issues.
GovConnects, entering its third year of growth, continues to develop its member offerings to meet the mission of advocating, educating and connecting members of the unique regional federal contracting community to critical resources and potential business growth opportunities.
Whether making introductions at a Business After Business event, greeting attendees at a Member Luncheon, calling to ask whether members know about an upcoming Member Orientation, supporting a business at a ceremonious ribbon-cutting, delivering a new member's Howard County Chamber plaque, educating members about their Chamber benefits or just stopping in to say hello, Howard County Chamber Ambassadors work tirelessly to promote networking and relationship-building among members.
Every year members wait in anticipation of the announcement of who will be the "main attraction" at the Howard County Chamber of Commerce's (HCCC) Signature Event — a gala evening of fine food and drinks, socializing among the leaders of the business community and national-caliber entertainment.
One of the main reasons that businesses join the Howard County Chamber of Commerce is to get noticed in the community and build their customer base. Chamber membership comes with a variety of opportunities to market and promote a business's products and services. For more information, start at www.HowardChamber.com or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Chamber appreciates and recognizes the annual investors that support the high quality of events and programs it offers.
The Howard County Chamber of Commerce is not composed of corporations, but rather people who tirelessly provide their support, time and talent to advance the growth and success of Howard County.
Pretty In Pink, the Pink Greens Golf Classic, Power of the Purse, Pink Plates — and the list goes on. And as Cherrybration Days unfold in Howard County, so do a growing number of activities that offer something for everyone.

And then there's appliance hardware. Appliance pulls are not just hardware pulls that have a higher price point. It is a more durable hardware that look identical in style to your standard pulls, but are designed for the larger items in your kitchen like refrigerators, dishwashers, pantries, and oversized drawers. They come in a range of sizes from 6" to 36" and are constructed to hold a heavier weight, typically necessitating longer screws and a backplate for installation. The screws can be shortened to the needed size, but its best to follow the instructions and have these pieces installed by a professional to avoid hiccups.
You can also create a one-of-a-kind backsplash by purchasing individual tile pieces and putting them together yourself. This could end up being somewhat time consuming — and you'll need a steady hand to get those measurements exactly right — but the result could be amazing! Just keep in mind, the smaller the tile pieces are, the longer and more intricate this project will become. There are many tutorials online that will show you the tricks of the trade and give you a handle on exactly what to do before your start.
Wow, love the progress you've made ! Thank you so much for these posts , your ideas are wonderful and I love your style. The drawer pulls are lovely, just what I had in mind, but the glass knobs ? What a lovely idea, I have glass knobs on my interior doors, but hadn't thought of using them on kitchen cabinets . LOVE it . Can't wait to see the finished kitchen, what an amazing difference .
This step will work best with raised panel or recessed panel cabinets, my cabinets are raised panel. OK, so I have a little confession to make, I outsourced this step, my routering skills are not top notch and I wanted the kitchen to look good, not like something put together by Dr. Frankenstein. The good news is it was very inexpensive and I was able to get 10 little doors done for less than the cost of a new upper cabinet. If you're an ace with the router then you know exactly what to do, so have at it!
A good price for pulls begins at around $12.00 a piece because anything less looks cheap and the quality will be sub-par. Look for cabinet hardware at plumbing or cabinet showrooms. They will have a larger variety and better quality. Look through the displays or catalogs and order several samples in different styles and finishes to compare to the rest of the finishes in your kitchen.
Kitchen knobs, pulls, and hinges have come a long way from the traditional styles that have been available over the years. No longer are homeowners limited to plain, simple, and functional. Instead, functional and pretty can now go hand in hand. Today's styles include finishes in antique copper, iron, nickel, polished chrome, aged bronze, polished brass, glass, stainless steel, and antique brass. Additionally, a variety of knobs, handles, and pulls are available in ceramic styles.
Shaker cabinets offer a simple and traditional design. Versatility is a large part of what makes them so timeless. Ultimately, you achieve the vibe you're going for through the finishing touches, one of those being the hardware you choose. We've selected some of the top hardware styles for shaker cabinets, and what looks they will bring to your kitchen.
Getting the right finish for your kitchen cabinets can make the difference between a good and a great space. The right finish offsets other design choices in your kitchen. For example, you can match your appliances to your hardware finish to create a sophisticated, coordinated look. Alternatively, you can use your kitchen cabinet hardware finishes to show off your fun-loving personality, choosing a bright metal or unique design.
Also, experiment with different shapes. Things like knobs, handles, toilet paper holders, towel racks and hinges have a lot of expressive power. Beyond color, though, you should take advantage of their different shapes to accentuate certain features in a room. Pay attention to details like the width of drawers and the height of cabinet doors, and experiment with different shapes to complement them.
The color white, and more specifically, white colored cabinets, have never been more popular in today's kitchens. White is always in style, regardless if you have a slick modern kitchen or relaxed country style. With their relaxed style and design flexibility, it's no secret as to why white cabinets are a constant crowd pleaser. The color white can make a room look larger and timeless in one broad stroke. With white cabinets, hardware is the most crucial detail, as it is more than just an accent, Hardware completes the room and adds overall value to your kitchen. With all of the available options, selecting the perfect hardware for your white cabinets can be a frustrating exercise. Below we discuss what to consider when selecting hardware for white kitchen cabinets.
You can also create a one-of-a-kind backsplash by purchasing individual tile pieces and putting them together yourself. This could end up being somewhat time consuming — and you'll need a steady hand to get those measurements exactly right — but the result could be amazing! Just keep in mind, the smaller the tile pieces are, the longer and more intricate this project will become. There are many tutorials online that will show you the tricks of the trade and give you a handle on exactly what to do before your start.
Consult with a contractor or a knowledgeable salesperson about which hinges will work with your doors. If your doors are flush with the cabinets, butt hinges can be used. They are lower in price than others but do not self-close. European hinges are installed on full overlay, frameless or inset doors. They are widely used because of their ease of installation and ability to be adjusted once in place. These hinges self-close. Partial wraparound hardware will support larger doors, but it does not self-close. Several other types hinges are available. The construction of your door, ease of installation and price will need to be considered. .
Shake a can of rust-inhibiting metal spray primer for the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer. Position the can the recommended distance away from the hinges -- it varies among manufacturers. Spray a light coat of primer on the hinges and screw heads using steady, even sweeps. Make sure you spray the sides and edges. Shake the can frequently while you spray. Allow the primer to dry for the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer. Apply a second coat of primer and allow it to dry completely.
Go to the home improvement center and get a 35mm Concealo Hinge mounting kit, it comes with a forstner bit (invented by Benjamin Forstner, in case you didn't know) and a jig for marking the drill location. You'll also want to make sure you get 35mm European-style hinges too, but before you buy them you'll need to determine if you have ½" overlay or full overlay doors. ½" overlay doors overlap the face frames by a ½", full overlay doors fully overlap the face frame leaving about an 1/8" showing on the outside edge. My doors were all ½" overlay, so I bought eighty 3-way adjustable hinges from eBay. I'm not sure what I was thinking because I ended up with a LOT of hinges left over. Warm up your drill and let's move on to the next step.
This was a great project! I did something similar but much lazier. After installing beautiful brushed-nickel handles to dozens of drawers & cupboards, I noticed that the 30 year old hinges were dark brown and ornate (against white cabinets). Yuck ... So I opened each cabinet & used painter's tape to block off a rectangular area around each hinge. They weren't dirty, so I just painted inside the whole rectangle with silver paint. The result is sleeker and more modern, and nobody would ever notice unless they were really close. Love it!
Generally speaking, I like to see a combination of knobs and handles/pulls. Knobs or handles for the doors and handles or pulls for the drawers. If you are painting your kitchen, the extra holes can be filled, sanded, and smoothed prior to painting so you can start with a clean slate and choose any hardware for your update. I say "generally speaking" because lately I'm drawn to kitchens that have all handles like this "before" photo of a kitchen we recently updated.

COPY MACHINE COMPANIES SOUTH BOSTON VAThere are numerous great factors to take into consideration a copier lease when it comes to renting or getting. Below are a few reasons a lease might be ideal for your business.
You possibly do not have the resources to keep maintenance personnel useful for any kind of troubles that might occur with workplace tools if your company is tiny. With a lease agreement, you often have at the very least partial insurance coverage on troubleshooting and general upkeep. The lease might define a particular number of solution calls each month or throughout of the lease. In any case, it maximizes your personnel to focus on company and also not worry about correcting an issue with the copier.
Second, substitute components are not constantly affordable when it concerns copy machines. An excellent copier lease normally has contains a list of parts that can be installed and replaced at no charge. Other components might be referenced in the copier lease as changeable for a charge that is well listed below market standard. As a bonus offer, you do not need to hang out situating as well as contrasting rates on substitute parts. The copier lease guarantees you will certainly have substitute parts that work and are cost efficient. You may also discover that lots of copier leases consist of provisions to supply you with a functioning copier while your system is down for repair.
Upgrades are much easier with a lease. Equally as with many type of workplace equipment, photo copiers come to be much more sophisticated with each passing year. Additionally, your business might expand, which would cause a requirement for a copier that can take care of larger work. Numerous vendors are more than delighted to take your copier lease and also roll it into a brand-new lease for an as much as day version. This conserves you the headache of dealing with the older copier as well as allows you to update when and also as you need.
For several services, both small as well as large, rents only make sense. Between the built-in upkeep, the ability to update when required, and also the little hassle included must a component require to be replaced, a lease is a wonderful option.

$103.00 - $105.99
- The Eddy Current's solid appearance comes from the stable blocks, more rubber and the big widths. - It allows uncompromising riding even uphill, takes fierce acceleration as well as technical riding on the trails. - Blocks up to 20% more massive than other Enduro/All Mountain profiles. - Aggressive arrangement, open design and concise V-Grooves in the center and side blocks for direct, precise steering characteristics and perfect transmission of engine power to the ground, with extreme durability.
Called 26+ by those in the know, Surly's Dirt Wizard tire provides float, cushion, and traction like a fat bike tire, but keeps the handling fast and responsive with its 26 x 2.75 size. Those big dimensions also just happen to be close to a 650b/27.5 inch wheel and mountain bike tire for increased roll over and footprint. Intended for rims 50mm wide, its aggressive knobbies deliver excellent traction and control in corners and through loose, mixed terrain.
Surly's Knard tire exists in a strange realm trail-taming of fatty wideness. The tread consists of closely spaced blocks that grab terrain and hold it hostage until they're done with it. Run low pressure for mind-blowing traction or pump it up for lower rolling resistance, either way the Knard has the grip to make Spiderman jealous.
Even fat bikes deserve to go fast, which is why Specialized paired extensive rider feedback with design experience, and the result is a tire with less rolling resistance and more traction. - Casing: 120 TPI - Bead: Foldable - Butyl wrapped bead = 2Bliss Ready - Compound: 60a - 26 x 4.0" Max ride 15 psi / Max install 25 psi
An even more aggressive Minion?! The Maxxis Minion DHR II is a complete redesign. Acceleration, cornering, and braking have all been improved. The shoulder knobs were borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF and then beefed up to handle duty as a rear tire. The center tread is heavily ramped and siped to roll fast and track straight under braking. Pair the DHR II with the Minion DHF for the ultimate aggressive riding combo! - Redesigned, wider shoulder knobs for better cornering - Paddle-like center knobs for improved braking - Ramped and siped tread to roll fast and track straight under braking - Downhill-specific 2-ply casing - Wire bead
Schwalbe's Marathon Mondial is the ultimate touring tire ready to travel the world if you want. Handling is great thanks to their TravelStar rubber compound, and their Double Defense technology keeps it relatively light and high-performance while maintaining excellent puncture protection. Whether you're setting out on a cross-country bike tour, cruising on a tandem, or just want peace of mind during your daily commute, the Marathon Mondial is in it for the long haul.
Introducing the redesigned Maxxis High Roller II, offering better braking and more consistent feel. The open and aggressive tread design gives the High Roller II excellent soil penetration and mud clearing ability. A square profile provides a solid, consistent feel across the knobs, and modified knobs on the shoulder and center improve braking performance and traction on hard surfaces. When gravity pulls you downhill, rely on the High Roller II to keep you upright. - 3C Triple Compound Technology available - 2-Ply DH casing with butyl-protected sidewalls, except EXO model
The all-rounder that works in every situation, no matter the weather, no matter the terrain. Widest possible range of use: for tour and all-mountain, for difficult cross-country tracks as well as technically challenging enduro trails. Tread design: excellent traction and braking performance thanks to special central stud arrangement, large shoulder studs for excellent control on tricky trails. - SnakeSkin: The monofile SnakeSkin fabric on the side wall makes the tubeless conversion for the MTB extremely easy and safe. It also provides the best cut protection on the side wall. - Addix Speedgrip: The universal compound. It definitely has the widest range of use. Perfect for XC, AM and Trail: for the majority of EVO tires there's a version with ADDIX Speedgrip! It replaces the previous PaceStar compound where a significant, though not the only difference, during extensive use is more mileage and a longer life. - Folding Bead
$83.00 - $92.00
The Standard. Often imitated, never duplicated. The Minion DHF is the standard by which all other downhill tires are measured. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering. - Directional, ramped knob design - front or rear - 60 TPI
The Surly Dirt Wizard 26+ tire uses the same aggressive tread that the other 3" Dirt Wizard tires use with tread block sizes optimized for the specific 26+ casing. If you're not familiar, it's a tire focused - much like a laser - on providing traction and control on the kinds of surfaces where traction and control are nary to be found. The 26+ Wizard also conjured up a new rubber compound that performs better in every way. It's a compound that yields higher durability and the grip and feel of a much softer tire. Surly also added sidewall protection for yet more durability as well as a tubeless ready, folding bead. The 3" casing inflates to roughly 27.5" overall diameter, which gives some benefits of a larger-tire-like ground-approach angle and increased footprint, plus a little extra cush. - Tread block size is optimized for the specific 26+ casing - Sidewall protection for more durability
The Ardent Race tire from Maxxis is ideally suited for technical XC race courses and endurance-length events. With its medium-height tread, the Ardent Race bridges the gap between the XC-oriented Ikon and the trail-oriented Ardent. The center knobs are ramped to reduce rolling resistance, and the side knobs are angled and stepped to provide great biting traction in corners. Choose the Ardent Race for your next demanding XC race or epic trail ride. - Tubeless Ready - High-volume casing - Medium knob height - Ideal for technical XC race courses
- For a safer journey. You have full control on icy roads with the Marathon Winter Plus. - For best possible puncture protection, it comes with a SmartGuard layer. - Spikes work best on ice at the minimum pressure - At max pressure, noise is reduced to a minimum on ice-free roads.
$64.00 - $85.00
The standard in fast-descending front tires. Often imitated, never duplicated. The Minion DHF is the standard by which all other downhill tires are measured. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering. - Tubeless Ready - Folding bead - Directional, ramped knob design - front or rear - 3C MaxxTerra Compound available - EXO Protection available - DoubleDown casing available
$68.99 - $85.00
An even more aggressive Minion?! The Maxxis Minion DHR II is a complete redesign. Acceleration, cornering, and braking have all been improved. The shoulder knobs were borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF and then beefed up to handle duty as a rear tire. And, the center tread is heavily ramped and siped to roll fast and track straight under braking. Pair the DHR II with the Minion DHF for the ultimate aggressive riding combo! - Redesigned, wider shoulder knobs for better cornering - Paddle-like center knobs for improved braking - Ramped and siped tread to roll fast and track straight under braking - Folding bead
Continental's Trail King features a massive footprint and a rounded shape plus an open tread pattern. The King rules when you need to fly downhill and get to the bottom first and it sheds mud so you enjoy excellent traction and control in even the nastiest of conditions, too. You'll also love the puncture protection of Continental's ProTection and Apex technologies and their durable, grippy Black Chili rubber compound.
The tread of choice for our World Cup Downhill Team, the Butcher DH tire excels in the gnarliest terrain imaginable. It does this by featuring fast rolling, ramped center knobs and perfectly sized shoulder knobs for bite in the corners. And with butyl inserts at the tire bead, we even have you covered against pinch flats when the trail gets particularly rowdy. - Casing: 60 TPI, Dual-Ply - Bead: Wire - Compound: Base 70a / Top 42a - Pinch Protection: Butyl inserts at bead - 26 x 2.3", psi 25-50, approximate weight 1250g - 26 x 2.5", psi 25-50, approximate weight 1290g
Get after it with Maxxis' Ardent holding the line. This versatile tire features large block-style side knobs with numerous edges for high-speed corners along with a ramped center tread for easy rolling. Plus, the high-volume casing delivers a plush ride. This EXO version adds an extremely cut and abrasion-resistant material to the sidewalls for extra peace of mind. - Folding bead - Weight: 650g (26 x 2.25), 705g (EXO 26 x 2.25), 790g (EXO 26 x 2.40)
For a smooth, predictable feel in the corners, check out the Maxxis High Roller IIs. As an update to their classic High Roller, the IIs have a fast center section that offers excellent braking traction. The shoulder knobs are tall with sipes on every other block for precise cornering. And, the tough EXO sidewall reinforcement provides extra cut protection.
$69.99 - $76.99
Thanks to its Trail Shield Technology, a strong and resilient mix of a 3x60 TPI carcass, and a reinforced, high-density casing, the MICHELIN Force AM tire is extra tough and durable and therefore perfect for trail and All Mountain riding. - Offers improved grip and propulsion as well as excellent braking thanks to its mix of three rubbers. - Tubeless Compatible - Tire Bead: Folding
$43.99 - $74.99

I was so pissed at this, because I thought I had locked myself out, destroying her, but I managed to fix it in the ritual, so don't give up hope. I had told her to go for light the first time, then darknes the second, and then light the third time, so I thought I was screwed. I told her to release the souls and she was confident (I boosted my Religion to 5 so in the last conversation I could tell her to trust the gods), and I said "I am ready to be impressed". Then everything went to ****, she got crazy and started licking her sickle! But then, as a last shot I decided to reload, and I did everything the same, except I told her "Be carefull!" and then it worked! :D She released them just fine, and felt light and good and she kept her sanity.

Hemiak replied to xLAKITUx's topic in The End is NighThese two are much easier than the Super Mega Cart related stuff. I'd advise not really worrying about speed. Focus more on getting through each level as safely as possible. You'll save plenty of time just by not replaying levels over and over.
Hemiak replied to voodoo_eyes's topic in Community Events, Contests & "We Plays"Yeah, I actually tried that again a few weeks ago. Earned it again, beat a bunch more levels, left it and went to work. Played a few more levels, left it when I went to bed, nothing.
Hemiak replied to cmgravekeeper's topic in The StadiumI'm really curious to see which version of the Texans shoe up this week. Scored 27, 13, 27, 10, then 53. Hoping we can finally string two good offensive weeks together, but I don't have a ton of faith in our coaching staff. At least they're going against KCs pathetic defense so that should help. It'll depend on whether the defensive line can pressure Mahommes enough to help out our terrible secondary play.
Hemiak replied to Bullstomp's topic in PlayStation NetworkWitcher 3
Went back to Nioh recently. The cutscenes and narrative is nice, but other than that there's literally nothing I like about this game more than any of the FROM games.
I dunno man, I like Bloodborne more, but Nioh comes right after. I really enjoyed the loot system and playing around with skills and getting equipment perks to support those..
With the stance system and all, combat is way deeper than in Souls, and I somehow ended up liking it a lot 😅 what weapon is your main? Dual Swords are super fun!
You're right, wasn't thinking about the stances and I do enjoy what they bring to the table.
I have to disagree about the equipment though. There's really only 5 (7 with DLC) weapons and they all have the same moves. Even two long or great sword weapons in Souls feel slightly different. I also hate that I'm forced to micromanage so much. If I could Soul match indefinitely it would be less annoying.
I despise the mission system though. It's good for grinding, but breaks the continuity of the game for me.
The dodge is kind of annoying too. Get hit even once and you're basically stunlocked unless you block a hit. No dodging out of attacks.
Hemiak replied to BDJBS_'s topic in PlayStation NetworkSure if I wanted to play it. I played Fenix Furia a few months ago and 3 trophies are bugged and unobtainable. I still tried every possible workaround I could think of but I couldn't get them to pop. I knew it was likely going in though so it's not a huge deal. Also, it isn't unobtainable per-se, but I started Necrodancer knowing full well I wouldn't go for 100%. I probably played 160+ hours and really enjoy the game, but have no interest in spending the time to actually plat it.
Hemiak replied to Bullstomp's topic in PlayStation NetworkSFV. I have zero interest in playing it but very impressive.
Hemiak replied to voodoo_eyes's topic in Community Events, Contests & "We Plays"
Hemiak replied to Deelwheels's topic in PlayStation NetworkLone Survivor, 4.88%, at 2 days 16 hrs. Also have Skydive: Proximity Flight, 2.88%, at 2 days 22 hours. Carnival Island and Flame Over are both in the 4 day range.
Hemiak replied to TheYuriG's topic in PlayStation NetworkFirst rule is All Rules Are Subject to Change or Complete Disregard at Any Time. Play games for fun, earn some trophies too. Don't play anything I don't want to for trophies. Also, if I get a bug to play a game, even halfway through another, I'll just go do it. I can always return at a later date, if I want to. My time is by far my most precious resource. With a full time job, a wife, and 2 kids, I don't have near the time I used to. All of my personal guidelines focus on maximizing my own enjoyment of that time. Don't be Afraid - if a game looks fun, play it, doesn't matter if it's broken (Fenix Furia) or Nigh impossible (Necrodancer). Game turns out to be shit or crazy boring, walk away. Don't Plan Anything. Any time I try to set up a list or program I completely lose interest. This is a hobby, one I've loved for over 30 years. Making plans and stuff turns it into a job or chore for me. Plat >>>>>>>> 100%. Even if I have the DLC I won't always complete or even attempt it. If I love a game, play the DLC even if it doesn't have trophies. Also, don't focus on DLC unless it's integrated into the main game. Single player first, mp maybe. I've been burned a few times for doing mp early, then not actually caring about the game. Sure I can clean it up later, but I probably won't. If I love a game and finish everything else I can worry about it then, or not. Server closures just mean I don't have to worry about that game anymore. Dont stack games. If I love it enough to replay it, I don't need to get the trophies again. I have probably 3x the hours in Dark Souls after the plat and I easily Doubled my Blood borne hours as well. I consider a stack to be any game that shares most of the story, gaemplay, plot, etc with the original. Adding an extra area and including DLC does not make a new game. Completely rewriting the entire story and changing the game play is fine. Never pay full price. Never impulse buy. Make a list of games I actually want to play. If a game pops up on sale and looks intriguing, do some research and add it to the maybe list. It'll go on sale again.
Hemiak replied to voodoo_eyes's topic in Community Events, Contests & "We Plays"I had a lot of fun with N++. One good thing is that it saves your best run for each level so you can rewatch it. I keep meaning to actually go back and make videos for the harder levels since there isn't a ton of info out there. All in all id say the plat for this is much easier than SMB, but takes a lot longer due to the sheer number of levels. Bummer. The save / checkpoint system is very similar to the Souls games. What annoyed me is the rarity of fast travel stations. I felt that there could have been 3 or 4 more spread out. One thing to know, the game actually does save your progress when you quit to menu. So if you're in bad shape and not sure you can make it back you can quit. You will restart with full health at the last bench you rested at, which is better than trying to go grab your shade again. FYI, I use save to mean keeping your items and money, not location.
Hemiak replied to voodoo_eyes's topic in Community Events, Contests & "We Plays"I wonder if maybe there was a leaderboard somewhere and then they took it down without telling anyone and trophies were linked to that. Dunno. You'll probably get the 100 deaths trophy without trying. There were half a dozen or so levels I hit that target on. Also yeah, it's annoying that you just start as soon as you die. Can't count how many times I was mashing dash, hit something, and auto started the timer. Kind of annoying. Everything popped normal except the God mode (blue stars) and deaths. So hopefully you can figure something out. I was also wondering if maybe all the deaths need to be in the main mode or something weird like that. I once farmed over 10k in a single session to check and see if that would pop it, saving every few hundred deaths. Nothing.
Hemiak replied to voodoo_eyes's topic in Community Events, Contests & "We Plays"If you do please let me know. I left the very first God mode level undone, then got the other 179 blue stars so I could pop it anytime I wanted. I earned that star probably a dozen times. Earned it, then finished the entire first world with stars. Earned it, then went and redid the final level... Nothing. I have over 14,000 deaths and neither the 5k or 10k have popped. One thing to note with that is the deaths don't save until you finish the level. There's a level in one or the worlds called LOL. It starts you like half an inch above the bottom of the screen and you can farm deaths super quick afk. Just make sure to finish the level when you're done. Good luck man.
Hemiak replied to voodoo_eyes's topic in Community Events, Contests & "We Plays"Just wanted to pop in and say hi and I hope everyone has fun and plays some great games. Really glad this thing has continued without me and appreciate the effort Voodoo has put in. Fenix Furia was pretty fun. My favorite part was the puzzle mode, except for the final boss. :rage: Just know that it's definitely bugged. I have everything done and three trophies just won't pop. I've met the requirements multiple times and tried a bunch of different things. I tweeted the devs but hold zero hope it will get patched. I knew it was possible before I started, just wanted to make sure you do too.
Hemiak replied to machaesthetic's topic in DownwellI haven't liked Noppy in a long time, though I don't hate it. Also, with arm spin and knife and fork I've reached the boss with 11 health. Getting the extra upgrade option with AS makes it far superior to Boulder IMO. Another point against Boulder, on hard any gem rooms are a total waste. 120 gems isn't even a third of an purchase on the first floor. Getting a new gun with an extra hp or two battery is crazy powerful.

Learning Thai with a Palm Pilot, a PC and a `kroo'
...and a compulsive, obsessive personality
Bangkok Post, Gareth Powell
There is much benefit to be derived from having a compulsive, obsessive personality. When learning a language _ or, indeed, learning anything for that matter _ being a compulsive has its benefits.
The first is you work at it every day, which is, in my view, an essential. Better still if you work at it at the same time every day. Next, you get every kind of learning aid and build the best of those aids into your learning program.
I am learning to speak Thai and, working on previous experience in other languages, I will get reasonably fluent so that I can discuss the weather and order a cold beer and a meal and explain who I am. And do it grammatically and intelligently.
Thai has its pluses and minuses. Minuses first. It is a tonal language and uses some sounds _ that represented by ``eua'' springs to mind _ which cannot be reproduced by the English alphabet nor yet, in my opinion, by any printed phonetic system. The pluses are that every Thai seems to think it is their national duty to help you in the most positive and friendly manner in speaking their language. And the grammar is very straightforward. There are many aids to learning. Three people in my experience make the process very much quicker.
In order, they are Michael Gruneberg with his LinkWord, Tony Buzan and his memory principles _ his book is Use Your Memory but he has a web site _ and Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder with SuperLearning which is a bit of a hustle but still works. Finally Flash Cards.
It is claimed using these methods it is possible to learn 300 words a day working at it more than, say, two or three hours a day. I tested this and came to 297. Add in a few words that are the same in Thai and English _ passport, lipstick and so on _ and you can reach 300.
Note you will not, positively not, know how to pronounce them correctly. But you will know what they are and this lays a basis on which correct pronunciation can be built.
Learning a language has, to my view, three separate phases and the teacher does not come in until the end.
The first is building up a seriously large vocabulary. Perhaps 2,000 words is the minimum and 5,000 words is a worthwhile target. Divide that by, say, 200 and you are talking of between two and six week's part-time work. Once you have a vocabulary of that size you take the second step _ grammar and pronunciation. Books will help your sort out the grammar _ it is not complicated _ and a teacher will correct your pronunciation. With the teacher it is best if it is one-on-one.
The third stage is to find a voice model to copy. That way you get rid of your accent and start to sound competent.
If, in French, you copy the style and cadence of Charles de Gaulle then you will not go far wrong. In English Richard Burton is viewed with much favour. In Thailand I have yet to find a role model. Any advice would be welcome. Back to those 300 words a day.
The expert on this is Michael Gruneberg. More about him on: LinkWord www. unforgettablelanguages. com/ His idea is that you use daft images associated with each word and you can learn a word in ten seconds. From this site you can download a simple starter pack on the Thai language for about US$7 and this will teach you the method and, say, 250 words. This is what happens. You conjure up an image for each word. Then hold it in your mind for ten seconds. (That is longer than you would believe and when I first started I had to check with a stop watch.) An example.
You want to learn the word for ``again'' in Thai.
Imagine a very large elephant engaged in a romantic interlude with an over-sexed mouse. The mouse is saying ``Again, again, again.'' Which in mouse talk is ``eek, eek, eek.'' Visualise that for a full ten seconds. Yes, it is a silly image. And the sillier the image the more likely it is you will remember it.
Once you have got the hang of how Michael Gruneberg's method works you can invent your own images. Mine tend to be on the coarse and vulgar side. I am supported in this by another expert.
Tony Buzan: www.buzancentre.com/tbuzan.html
Tony Buzan is probably the top person on memory. His mind mapping has been used by a large number of people over the years and it works and works very well. I have his book, ``Use Your Memory'' (published by the BBC) practically as bedside reading.
If you follow the instructions you will learn more, better. Both the site and the book ares very practical. On page 46 of the book it lists one of the most potent memory pegs. It reads: ``Sexuality _ We all have a good memory in this area. Use it.'' I shall, I shall. There are other ways of reinforcing your memory.
Superlearning www.superlearning. com/
This has a feeling of hard sell American nonsense but, in fact, it is slightly more than that. The discovery has been made and verified over and over again that you learn better with Baroque music playing in the background.
At the same time it has been discovered that if you are listening to language tapes four second sound bites is the ideal. Put the two together and you have the whole system.
The only thing worth seriously investing in here is the Superlearning book by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder which has a lot of solid information. It is also very badly written in that hysterical I-can-turn-your-life-around-in-ten-minutes that I hate.
Now you need further help and that is a system of flash cards. This is where your computer comes in. On a PC a flashcard program asks you short questions to get short answers.
You can get lots of other jazz thrown in including slides, audio and even video files but the key is that it flashes cards and checks your memory.
The vital point is that it has to be able to filter out what you learned and let you concentrate on the points with which you are having difficulty.
In other words it keeps hammering away at that which you have difficult remembering. Having tried dozens the one I recommend has a silly name but works wondrously well. And it runs on both a PC and a Palm Pilot so that you can carry your flash cards with you.
Supermemory 2000 www.superme mo.com/
Goes well beyond flash cards and learning lists. The site is full of articles _ not very well written and in desperate need of editing and cutting _ and fairly sound advice by someone called Wozniak which conjures up visions of early Apples although I do not know of any connection.
The program itself works brilliantly although I still have not found a way to get underline and italic on to my Palm Pilot.
It must be possible. Having got all these components together and having learned several hundred words I came to Bangkok and found myself a teacher.
I ended up with the Thailish Language School which is at 427 Sukhumvit Road. Initially it was because I liked the name and the daft Thai staircase that leads to the school.
Now I stay there because the teacher, Nim Janluan, positively hurls herself into getting my pronunciation sorted out. She acts out each tone in a form of Thai dancing which burns into the memory.
She strongly approves that I have started with a solid vocabulary although she finds my pronunciation often laughable. But it is not difficult to sort out.
Do these methods put together work?
Let me ask you one question _ what is the Thai word for ``again''?Support the forum and chat rooms and buy computer software and books for learning Thai at www.BuyThaiBooks.com

The staff in bar only had a focus on how you would pay bill. Won't go back. Meals in restaurant poor value and service average to poor! Too many different people servicing the table, many mix ups!! Often you had to ask 2-3 different waiters to get something done!
Wonderful setting and decor but incredibly uncomfortable chairs . Position of table was such that view was obstructed by table and people against window . Very disappointed that table was not close to window as requested as had overseas visitors.
Everything cane very late to the table , the waiter was apologetic but to have. 3 course it took 3 hrs which is a long wait
I have attended Altitude Restaurant on many occasions. It is always really delightful and the staff are very special. Even when very busy individuals are well looked after.
The location was great and staff was amazing. We were offered what we requested in no time. Thanks for such a great experience on a special day. Cheers
The food was mediocre at best! Not very good for the price they charge. The portions were small, and taste/flavours were almost non existence for a restaurant of this caliber. Oysters and the cold seafood dish were served warm!!
Not so impressed with the set menu. The meal was averaged as the price were to expensive. The staff was very helpfu. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was quite uncomfortable but the outside view was beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful
Restaurant was beautiful, not our first here but first time booking with the fork.com.au. I would have preferred to state a seating period ie: 6:30-8:30pm Other than this, thank you for the easy booking experience.
Food as expected as good. Service was exceptionally underwhelming. Food orders were missed, drinks weren't supplied, water wasn't topped up. This was an important business meeting with the intention of impressing the client; fortunately the view satisfied that, but the restaurant experience did not.
a fabulous restaurant with fabulous dishes and the most magnificent views of the harbour. Highly recommend the experience for any special occassion
Great location for a long lunch. Well worth the money. Good selection of nibbles before your main course, and the bottomless bellinis are divine! Will definitely be back.
food was well prepared and tastefully presented and views over sydney harbour were an excellent backdrop full menu available and lunch time special menu available for those who wished to enjoy but have a limited budget
nice views and food
Matt the sommelier was the standout! Opening Margarita was also a treat. View and food sublime. Looking forward to be invited by Matt to the special events he has organised.
Celebrating our wedding anniversary dinner, Restaurant Altitude went out of their way to pay tribute to our special occasion. Matt the sommelier was the best sommelier I have ever spoken to in recent times. Spot on with his choice of Chardonnay and wines by the glass to follow. Guest enjoyed the black salt classic margarita to start, followed by snapper starter and blue cod main finishing with Celebratory Macaroons. Looking forward to our invitations to this restaurants unique by invitation only events.
The service was bad, initially inattentive. The buffet isn't great either. My expectation and didn't meet reality especially for the money I paid - a big thumbs down!!
Amazing view of Sydney opera house and harbour bridge. We went mid-week and had the express lunch menu which was great value. I've recommended to friends and will be returning soon! Lovely food and service.
Great Service and great views combined with a good quality seafood buffet made for a memorable saturday brunch
Staff were all very professional, food was all delicious (just wish there was more variety at the buffet) view was amazing - all in all an unforgettable experience and will definitely be back
