Motivating, educational and entertaining presentations for your business group, Chamber of Commerce, sales force or managers. John Ingrisano shares his wit, wisdom & personal experiences on the rough 'n tumble world of of surviving and thriving in the free-for-all business arena. Below are just some of topics available for your company or group:
As posted on Craigslist:
Title: "That's Great! So What? Who Cares? Discover Your Competitive Advantage"
Great ideas are like secrets to success: Everybody has a dozen or so, and most don't hold up well to the TGSWWC test (short for "That's Great! So What? Who Cares?"). That's also the mistake a lot of business people make when it comes to their marketing. They waste a ton of money promoting vague, tired old claims that potential customers either don't believe or don't care about.
This 50-minute, interactive presentation/workshop will help you understand why customers do (or should) buy from you and will help you identify your business's # 1 competitive advantage, that unique strength that makes you stand out from your competitors. (And no, it's not such mind-numbing claims as "great customer service" or "attractive prices.")
Audience: Anyone responsible from keeping his or her company profitable and competitive – from CEOs of multi-national mega-companies to Mom 'n Pop operations fighting it out on Main Street for their piece of the local pie. This hands-on presentation is ideally positioned as part of a day-long business program or as a free-standing program to a single company's managers or business group, including Chambers of Commerce and Economic Development Corporations.
Presentation covers:
- The importance of understanding your company's competitive advantage.
- The fact that only a rare few truly understand the concept and reality of their business's competitive advantage.
- The characteristics that make a strength a true competitive advantage.
- How to begin identifying your company's actual competitive advantages during the workshop.
What you can expect to take away from this presentation: At the conclusion, attendees will have a clear understanding of the concept of competitive advantage and have taken the first steps to clearly identifying their # 1 competitive advantage.
Title: "How to Beat Business Burnout"
Burnout and boredom are among the top reasons small business owners pack it in and either sell out or shut down. According to market research, these two factors account for 50 percent of all business sales. Pretty much every business owner hits the wall, crashes and burns. The problem is especially rough in today's shaky economy.
It makes sense. Successful men and women tend to be creative problem solvers. They are also easily bored. Plus, they don't just commit themselves to their companies…they become consumed by the quest. Many put in long hours. They neglect their health, families and outside activities. Some end up physically ill, emotionally depressed, divorced. Ironically, a major cause of burnout is success, achieving a single goal long sought. That's why many business owners get restless, discontented, bored.
This entertaining and informative 50-minute presentation, with Power Point and handouts, has universal appeal for most business owners. A lively mixture of statistics and John Ingrisano's personal experiences ("I know I'm approaching burnout when I begin fantasizing about either Las Vegas and a showgirl or applying for an hourly job behind the counter of my local convenience store."), you will be amused and unsettled by this humorous approach to a very serious subject. Most of all, however, you will leave with some practical ideas about how to beat burnout.
Audience: Business owners, professionals and managers in high-stress, demanding positions.
Presentation covers:
- The price of commitment to success and the risk and causes of burnout.
- The telltale signs of impending burnout.
- Ten practical, hands-on tips to re-ignite that fire in your belly and side-step burnout.
What you can expect to take away from this presentation: Business owners, professionals and executives will obtain tools to help them recognize the telltale signs of burnout and will learn steps to help them avoid this destructive malaise that plagues too many men and women in business.
Title: "The Busy Business Owner's Guide to a Pain-free Vacation
How can you spot the business person on vacation at the beach? Look for the one sitting under an umbrella tapping away on a laptop computer or having a lively conversation on a Blackberry. That's not a vacation … just an outdoor office with a view.
If you're like many business people, you're convinced the place will fall apart without you. And the truth is that if you just walk out the door for two weeks without prior planning, it probably will. At the same time, if you drag along a briefcase full of work or call in instructions four times a day, why even bother to go? Save your family the grief and you the expense. Just stay home.
This playful, yet practical (and deadly serious) 50-minute presentation and hands-on workshop, with Power Point and handouts, will show audience members the why and how of reviewing their vacation plans to make sure the business survives, their families survive, and they even return to the office rested and ready to jump back into work.
Audience: Business owners and managers. Ideal as an after-dinner presentation for business groups and managers in high-stress professions, including attorneys and doctors.
Presentation covers:
- The typical executive vacation, which is no vacation at all, and how everybody loses.
- A practical, step-by-step method to enhance the value of a vacation.
- The hands-on "Busy Business Manager's Vacation Pledge."
What you can expect to take away from this presentation: At the conclusion, attendees will understand the importance of taking real vacations, and they will understand how to plan and organize their get-away vacation, as well as prepare their office for their absence. Most of all, they will learn how to make sure that they and their families actually enjoy their vacations.
Title: "Husbands, Wives & the Family Business – How to Survive Working Together
It can be tough having to deal with a partner in business. It can be even tougher when that partner is your spouse. The result can be total bliss or pure craziness. It all depends on whether you take the time to carefully structure your business relationship.
This playful, lively 50-minute presentation is right on target and guaranteed to get business-owner couples nodding their heads and poking each other in the ribs from the very start. Most of all, it will equip them with practical tools they can use immediately to help them work together smoothly, efficiently and productively … for their sake and the sake of the business's bottom line. Peppered with stories from John Ingrisano's personal experiences, this presentation will make you laugh and nod in understanding as you see how that marital and business relationship can be a wondrous blessing or a painful curse.
Audience: Mom 'n Pop shops and other couples involved in family businesses. Great for conventions that include spouses.
Presentation covers:
- The charm and challenge of couples working together in a family business.
- The benefits of knowing how to work together well.
- The drawbacks when the working relationship is strained … including its impact on the personal relationship.
- Six must-do things to assure marital bliss and a smoothly-run business.
What you can expect to take away from this presentation: Couples in business will leave with a greater understanding of why it is important to have a smooth working relationship in the business. Most of all, they will learn what to do and how to do it … starting immediately.
Title: "Are You a Buddy Or A Boss? An Employee-Relations Primer"
Encouraging a friendly atmosphere on the job is good for morale and productivity. However, as a manager, you need to know where to draw the line between being a buddy and being the boss, if only because it can be difficult to maintain chummy relationships with employees and still maintain your authority and effectiveness as a manager.
This entertaining, informative 50-minute presentation – filled with entertaining examples — illustrates the problems for business owners and managers of trying to be too buddy-buddy with employees and gives solid advice on how maintain both a professional distance and a warm, friendly working relationship.
Audience: Managers and small-business owner groups. This presentation is ideally positioned as an after-dinner speech to groups of no fewer than 20, with no upper limit.
Presentation covers:
- Importance of a positive working relationship between managers and employees.
- Why some bosses try too hard to be buddies with employees.
- How most employees feel when the boss wants to become friends.
- How to maintain both a professional distance and a warm, friendly, productive working relationship.
What you can expect to take away from this presentation: At the conclusion, the audience will see the relationship between themselves and their employees in a different light and, if they have made the mistake of being too chummy with employees, be prepared, with specific steps, to adjust that relationship.
Title: "Are You Ready to Become a Retire-preneur?
Whether from the desire to keep busy or the need for money, more and more aging men and women today are opting to skip retirement and join the ranks of the entrepreneur class, going into business, sometimes for the first time in their lives. Should you take the plunge? What are the risks? What are the opportunities?
This informative 30-minute presentation, with Power Point and handouts, is designed to help attendees evaluate whether or not to become retire-preneurs and, if so, how to make best-choice decisions as they go forward.
Audience: Older men and women who are not business owners. They are either approaching or in retirement. Plus, with the economy on shaky ground, with Social Security and retirement funds in jeopardy, this is a growing audience. This presentation can be coupled with retirement and estate planning presentations. It is also ideal for ""Learning in Retirement" programs and SCORE members.
Presentation covers:
- Why more and more retiring men and women are considering becoming retire-preneurs.
- The risks in going into business at this stage of life.
- The potential for personal and financial gain.
- Steps to take to find out if retire-preneurship is for you.
What you can expect to take away from this presentation: At the conclusion, attendees will have a clear understanding of the potential and the danger of becoming retire-preneurs, and they will have a roadmap to help them go to the next level in the decision-making process.

Transatlantic - the rough and the smooth: Oceana Cruise Review by Iain
Overall Member Rating
Transatlantic - the rough and the smooth
Destination: Europe - British Isles & Western
Embarkation: Barbados
Some good points - smooth crossing and reasonable weather; main dining room food and service excellent; usual stuff like newsletter of daily activities provided and quite a lot to do (essential of course for transatlantic) Lots of minor reservations on quality - self service food choice limited; speciality restaurant not impressive - more of a bistro; entertainment patchy in quality, and choreography/costumes for shows not up to competitors; staff attentive but glum; room service limited, often with extra charges; some localised maintenance lacking such as torn seats, toilet fittings and lights not operational, rusty spots on bulkheads on balcony, unvarnished handrails Just to add to things, there was a norovirus outbreak on board, with rigorous More quarantine and sterilisation programmes from day one - all passengers in affected cabins (not just ill person)strictly quarantined to cabin for days - self service closed for several days. Anyone who had to visit the ship`s doctor was quick to express surprise at the level of (immediate)charges, and sometimes also the overzealous diagosis/treatment. This is not necessarily a criticism - better safe than sorry - but be aware. Computer system broke down for boarding, so long queues in a warehouse in the heat, after a wait in the bus due to multiple simultaneous flight arrivals. Balcony limited in size and is hole in bulkhead rather than glass like more modern ships. Less

Cabin review: balc407
C407 - despite floor plan on website showing otherwise, the laundry door is opposite the cabin, and passengers prop it open, so some noise. Balcony shaded by bulkhead style opening so difficult to sit two people in the sun. Cabin is big enough but seemed smaller than others we have had elsewhere - toilet and storage is also only `adequate`.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University men's basketball head coach Ed Conroy announced his resignation Friday afternoon (June 30) to accept the position of director of men's basketball operations at NCAA Division I University of Tulsa.
Conroy, 33, joins the Golden Hurricane staff of newly appointed head coach Buzz Peterson. The 1999-2000 Hurricane squad recorded a school-record 32-5 mark and advanced to the NCAA Tournament's "Elite Eight". Tulsa has advanced to the NCAA Tournament in six of the past seven years.
"We regret losing Coach Conroy, and we wish him and his family well at Tulsa," said FMU interim athletic director Murray Hartzler.
FMU president Fred Carter expressed similar sentiments. "We are grateful to Ed Conroy for the outstanding job he did as FMU's head basketball coach. Not only is he a good coach, but he's a dear friend. We respect his decision to accept the Tulsa job and wish him much success there."
Hartzler added that "over the next several days, we will evaluate our options and will move as quickly as possible to find a new men's basketball coach to maintain stability in our program." He also said that the basketball program, along with all sports in the FMU program, will be evaluated during the coming year.
Conroy recently completed his third season at the helm of the FMU men's cage program. He guided the Division II Patriots to a 41-40 mark, including a 16-11 record in 1997-98, the best ever mark by a first-year coach at the University.
"Resigning as FMU's head coach has been an extremely difficult decision," Conroy said. "But the offer to join coach Buzz Peterson's staff at the University of Tulsa is an opportunity I just couldn't pass up professionally. I have tremendous respect for Coach Peterson, and am excited about working for him as he takes over a program that is a perennial top 20 power and was only one game from an NCAA Final Four last year."
He went on to add, "My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed our three years in Florence, and we will miss the university and the community. It has been a privilege to coach at FMU, because of the quality of student athletes in our program. I am grateful for the opportunity that FMU gave me. I've had a wonderful relationship with my players, fellow coaches and others at the university. I have been pleased with the progress we've made in rebuilding FMU's program. My family and I will watch the future development of the university and its athletic program with much interest and pride in the coming years. The university and its athletic program are destined for exciting times under the leadership of President Carter and Murray Hartzler."
In his first season on the FMU bench, Conroy guided the Patriots to the biggest turnaround in NCAA Divisions I and II that year, an improvement of 13 wins. After being picked to finish 11th in the preseason Peach Belt Athletic Conference coaches' poll, FMU challenged for the PBAC regular-season title up until the last weekend of the season, before tying for second. The team's 16-11 record earned Conroy the PBAC "Coach of the Year" award, the first time in conference history a first-year coach had received that award.
In 1998-99, Conroy's troops suffered through a rash of early-season injuries, but won eight of their last 11 games to post a 16-12 record and finish third in the PBAC North Division standings. Injuries and youth (two freshmen starters) played a role during the 1999-2000 season, which saw the Patriots post an up-and-down 9-17 record.
During his three seasons, two of Conroy's recruits earned PBAC "Freshman of the Year" honors: Will Tucker in 1997-1998 and Charles Sullivan in 1999-2000. Under his guidance, the Patriot cage program had a total of 13 selections to the PBAC Presidential Honor Roll and 17 to the FMU Athletic-Academic Honor Roll.
A 1989 graduate of The Citadel, Conroy came to Francis Marion from Furman University, where he had been an assistant coach for three years. He previously served as an assistant coach at Virginia Military Institute (1993-94) and a part-time assistant at North Carolina State University (1990-93). Peterson was also a Wolfpack assistant during Conroy's three seasons in Raleigh.

Vin Diesel has been back on Facebook again to promote his upcoming film 'Fast and Furious 7', this time with himself and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in the frame. After releasing many recent photos from behind the scenes of the film via his Facebook page, Diesel's most recent image confirms Dwayne Johnson has begun filming his scenes on the upcoming sequel. Johnson for his part had already posted a photo showing that he had finished filming on 'Hercules' and was moving back on to more familiar territory, rejoining the cast for his third entry in the franchise.
Other recent pictures have included Diesel sneaking around with a gun, Kurt Russell on set with franchise stars Diesel and Paul Walker and the first picture of Diesel and newcomer Jason Statham together at last. Dwayne Johnson is reprising his role as Agent Hobbs who first appeared in 'Fast Five' as an antagonist for Toretto and the gang before he switched sides and used their motor skills for good in 'Fast and Furious 6'.
Vin Diesel speaks
It seems that barely a day goes by now without Diesel or Tony Jaa or one of the other stars of 'Fast and Furious 7' posting something online for eager fans to lap up until we get a trailer or poster or finally the finished film in July 2014. Diesel posted the new picture stating simply 'When brother Dwayne steps into the Hobbs role... you can't tell where he ends, or the character begins. Our third consecutive chapter in the saga, and the short hand we've established makes the film that much better each time.' Diesel clearly has some affection for his co-star after welcoming him in to the 'Fast and Furious' family and it will be interesting to see if this will be the last chance to see Agent Hobbs in action.
With death definitely on the cards in newcomer director James Wan's 'Fast and Furious 7' judging by all the stills of funerals that have been released, it is interesting to note the location of this latest image from the set. That is clearly a hospital that Diesel and Johnson are in and it looks as though Agent Hobbs might be taking some time out to recover from something. Whatever has managed to lay The Rock low must be pretty severe. Here's hoping Hobbs is not suffering from any permanent damage that will keep him from appearing in further entries into the franchise.
Diesel power
This is the second photo of Diesel looking like he is calling the shots on 'Fast and Furious 7'. Script in hand and dominating the picture, Diesel has risen to producer on recent entries in the 'Fast and Furious' franchise and clearly takes his job very seriously. After the recent snap of him and Statham looking over the script was released, Diesel looks as though he is as much a part of the creative process as his director. Let's hope he knows what he's doing.
Excited for more Agent Hobbs in 'Fast and Furious 7'? Do you think Dwayne Johnson will be back for more after this one?
Pete is a cautious fan of the Fast and Furious films; enjoying the fast cars and furious fights but not so keen on the cheesy dialogue. However he's not going to be telling Vin Diesel that last bit any time in a hurry…

Oct. 30, 2011
Tennessee solidified its place atop the SEC volleyball standings and soccer picked up an impressive road victory to highlight the UT athletics weekend.
Head coach Rob Patrick's Lady Vols improved to 13-1 in SEC play after their weekend home sweep of Florida and South Carolina. It was Tennessee's second win over both squads this season and pushed the Lady Vols to a one game lead over second-place Kentucky with six games remaining.
A crowd of better than 2,000 fans turned out for Friday's night's 3-1 triumph over Florida.
"I can't say enough about the support of the crowds we have been getting here at Thompson-Boling Arena," Patrick said. "Florida could not go on a lot of runs because our team was really elevated by the energy that the crowd provided. We been on the road a lot and fighting the others team's crowd and energy. I was really excited to see how active the crowd was in the match and our team responding from it.
Soccer had the unusual situation of having its Friday night match at Georgia become a split-doubleheader of sorts. The Lady Vols and Bulldogs were scoreless in the 21st minute when a faulty bank of lights on the Tennessee defensive end caused the delay until Saturday. No worries, though, as UT scored twice to claim a 2-0 victory and wrap up the third seed for this week's SEC Tournament beginning Wednesday in Orange Beach, Ala.
Men's golf closed the fall portion of its schedule with a fifth-place result at the Cabo Collegiate in Mexico. Sophomore Danny Keddie finished third individually for his best collegiate showing. The Vols' next tournament is just before Valentine's Day.
And football dropped a 14-3 decision Saturday to SEC Eastern Division-leading South Carolina. The Vols host Middle Tennessee for Homecoming festivities this weekend at Neyland Stadium.
The No. 20 University of Tennessee volleyball team gave the second largest crowd in UT history a lot to cheer about Friday evening, as the Lady Vols defeated No. 13 Florida in four sets, 25-15, 17-25, 25-23, 25-21, in front of 2,012 rowdy fans at Thompson-Boling Arena. "For us, it was a pretty emotional match," Lady Vols head volleyball coach Rob Patrick said. "We didn't talk about it just being another match. We talked about it being as one of the biggest matches that we would play this year. Our kids prepared for this match as well as they prepared for any match."
Tennessee (19-3, 12-1) now is the lone team in the SEC with one conference loss and plays in front of its home crowd in four more conference matches this season. Entering the match, the Gators (17-4, 10-2) were on an eight-match winning streak and had not dropped a set since falling to UT on Sept. 25, in a five-set thriller on ESPNU.
Lady Vols 3, South Carolina 0
Coming off an emotion win just two days prior over No. 13 Florida, the No.20 University of Tennessee volleyball team showed no signs of a letdown, sweeping South Carolina, 25-13, 25-20, 25-14, on Sunday afternoon at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee (20-3, 13-1) hit at a season-high mark of .446 against the Gamecocks (11-12, 2-11), while limiting the USC offense to a mere .108 clip. In the match, four Lady Vols hit over .400. Freshman Tiffany Baker hit a career-best .519 against the Gamecocks, as she belted a match-high 15 kills, while only committing one error on 27 swings. She also registered her third double-double on the year and second of the week, as she added 12 digs to go along with her 15 kills.
Next: Wednesday at Louisville, 7 p.m.; Sunday vs. Mississippi State, 1:30 p.m. // FULL SCHEDULE
ATHENS, Ga. - On Saturday afternoon, in the resumption of Friday night's delayed regular-season finale, the #20 Tennessee Lady Vol soccer team fought off any potential distraction, getting goals from sophomore forward Caroline Brown and senior forward Emily Dowd to roll past Georgia, 2-0.
With its victory, Tennessee (14-5-0, 7-4-0 Southeastern Conference) secured the third-seed in next week's SEC Tournament in Orange Beach, Ala., and will open its stay in the league's showcase event Wednesday in a 2:30 p.m. Central time (3:30 p.m. Eastern) contest against Kentucky.
Brown and Dowd each recorded their team-leading 11th goals of the campaign as the Big Orange continues to be the only squad in the conference with two players that each possess 10+ goals and 25+ points. On Dowd's 64th minute goal, junior midfielder Kylie Bono and senior forward Chelsea Hatcher were credited with their sixth and fifth assists of the year, respectively.

Tennessee didn't have any trouble finding big plays on defense Saturday night against South Carolina. Turning those big plays into points, though, was another story.
The Vols couldn't take advantage of two prime opportunities deep in Carolina territory in the second half and fell to the 14th-ranked Gamecocks 14-3 in Neyland Stadium.
"We're just a mess on offense. Can't run it. Struggle to throw it," UT coach Derek Dooley said. "Had it twice in the red area and turned it over. I don't know what else we can do defensively."
Tennessee's offense, without its two most productive players in quarterback Tyler Bray and wide receiver Justin Hunter, struggled again. The Vols finished with just 186 yards of total offense and managed just three points despite getting inside the South Carolina 30-yard line four times.
Next: Saturday vs. Middle Tennessee, 7 p.m. // FULL SCHEDULE
Danny Keddie climbed into a tie for fourth place Friday and Tennessee improved by seven strokes and one place to fifth in the standings heading into the final round of the Cabo Collegiate.
Keddie shot 1-under-par 70 on the Club Campestre Golf Course in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. The sophomore continues to shine in the fall portion of Tennessee's season, taking over the team lead in scoring average (73.18) and posting his seventh round of par or better.
The Vols shot 4-over 288 as a team Friday to improve to fifth place at 15-over 583. UT trails first-place Arkansas (557) by 24 strokes, but the next three teams are within reach heading into Saturday's final round. Southeastern Louisiana is second at 7-over 575, followed by a tie for third between St. Mary's and San Francisco, both at 13-over 581.
Garrick Porteous and Rick Lamb carded 1-over-par 72s, with Jay Vandeventer adding 74 to close out the Tennessee scoring. Porteous is vying for his third top-20 finish in four tournaments this fall, while Lamb's 72 matched his UT low score. Vandeventer is looking for his best finish since placing seventh at the season-opening Carpet Capital Collegiate.
Cabo Collegiate (Day 3)
Danny Keddie capped the 2011 fall schedule with his best collegiate finish to guide Tennessee to a fifth-place showing Saturday at the Cabo Collegiate.
Keddie fired his best round of the season for the second straight day, shooting 68 to climb to a third-place result in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. Keddie finished the tournament shooting 71-70-68 for a 4-under-par total of 209. It also marked his fifth top-10 result in just 12 career collegiate events.
The top nine teams held their positioning over the course of Saturday's final round at Club Compestre Golf Course. Tennessee closed with its best score of the week, a 2-over-par 284 that left the Vols at 17-over 869.
The Vols received a pair of even-par 71s from Garrick Porteous and Jay Vandeventer, with Darren Renwick adding 76. Rick Lamb closed with a 78 and Marshall Talkington, playing this week as an individual, ended on a strong note with 70.

In device UI mode the next/prev track buttons on the steering wheel work (and volume of course) but you cannot browse the content using the iDrive, you have to do that on the iPhone.
Nothing is loaded in device UI mode so there is no delay. In gateway mode the Denison has to create/load the index from the phone. I do not use the phone to store music so I just tested with a couple of albums loaded and there was no noticeable lag.
With USB devices you can create an index on a PC which is then read by the Denison. The indexing program can be downloaded from the Denison site. I have 1,300 tracks on a USB stick plugged in now and browsing through them is very fast. But the absence of "now playing" info is a drawback.

Sorry if this is searchable, but I couldn't find a previous reference.
Our 2010 Tiguan recommends Super gas but the dealer says they use Regular (87) on their personal Tiguans. What are you folks using?
p.s. Here's some interesting stuff about octane recommendations from PetroCan's website.
"Why does my vehicle require a higher octane gasoline than is recommended in my owner's manual?
There are two reasons. First, the engine may be at the upper end of the octane requirement range for the particular model. It may, therefore, knock during periods of heavy engine load. The octane requirement for each engine in vehicles of the same make is different because of variations in manufacturing tolerances. Industry testing has shown that this difference can range between two and five octane numbers. While you will not hear knock, the spark timing will be retarded, resulting in loss of power and performance.
The second reason for using a higher-octane gasoline than recommended is because the equilibrium level of combustion chamber deposits is higher than average resulting in a higher than average octane requirement for the engine. Industry testing shows that the octane requirement increase (over the initial 20-50,000 kilometres) can be as much as nine octane numbers. This means that a vehicle that was originally designed for 82 octane fuel may eventually require 91 octane fuel to perform satisfactorily."
I would go with what the manual recommends. I swear sometimes the dealers don't even know the products they sell. In your case you have the 2.0 turbo charged engine so 91 octane should be used.

2006 Uni Black Rabbit
4 door - 5 spd - UM tune - Neuspeed P-flo - Eurojet exhaust - Koni yellow - DG Springs - Fogs - Euro tails - Ronal Goals (summer/autoX) - SSM Magny Cours (winter) - Hatch pop kit - iPod adapter
You are ABLE to run low octane 87 but you WILL have reduced performance and eventually a check engine light for knock sensors. Use 91 or better yet 93 and you will get the best power and fuel economy.

I have read the Petro propaganda too. I don't feel like digging out the crappy manual, but the bottom line is you need to use 91 octane, end of discussion. the car 'will' run on 87, should you accidentally fill it up with 87, but over time, people have experienced check engine lights. As well, if you are expecting full power form your engine with 87, it is not going to happen. the computer will retard timing in order to protect the engined from detonation. And once the engine begins to retard timing, fuel economy will suffer because the engine is not operating at peak efficiency. It is true that on an engine that recommends 87, using 91 is not worth it, but the opposite does not hold true. I always use what the manufacturer recommends, no more. I had a BMW at one time. They recommended 91 too. I tried 87 and the engine would just flame out while driving. It would restart, but would do it over again without warning. kind of like blowing out a candle without notice. I switched back to 91 and the problem never reoccurred.
As i type this i am on hold with Petro Canada. LOL
Because the TSi engine is Turbo Stratified injection, you really need high octane fuel for the high compression cylinders. The difference is a couple dollars more per fillup, and thousands of dollars in savings several thousand kilometers later (because you will have a more efficient engine that last longer).
Don't cheap out. Use at least 91 octane gas. I personally use 94 octane.

Kara M. Cashman, M.S., R.D., C.D.-N.Registered Dietitian
I earned my Master's degree in Human Nutrition, as well as my undergraduate degree in dietetics and nutrition, from the University of New Haven. I conducted my dietetic internship program at Saint Joseph's College in West Hartford. I also hold a certificate in pediatric and adolescent weight management and wellness coaching. I really enjoy motivating people to make healthy lifestyle changes so that they can decrease their risk factors for chronic disease. In Cardiac Rehab, I typically work with patients on setting small, realistic goals to help break bad habits and create new, healthy ones. I enjoy hiking, running, and staying active.
Rosanna Colangelo, R.N., B.S.N., M.S.N.Certified Nurse Educator
I received my B.S.N. from the University of Rochester, my M.S.N. from Boston College, and my certification as a Nurse Educator by the National League for Nurses in 2008.
My main role at Hoffman Heart is in helping clients to understand and embrace lifestyle changes that have a positive impact on their heart health and well-being. I am on the Women's Heart team, the Lifestyle Management team, and the Silver AMI study group. I can also be found helping out in Cardiac Rehabilitation and the Echo Lab as needed.
Clients just starting out in Cardiac Rehabilitation often seem discouraged that they have experienced a cardiac event. As they become accustomed to the exercise routine, a wonderful thing happens; they get caught up in the positive attitude of other clients who have been making great progress! They in turn become an inspiration for others as they start the program. It's a pay-it-forward kind of atmosphere!
Christina deMello, B.A.Department Assistant, Hoffman Heart
I provide administrative support to the Cardiac Rehab and FitCare programs at Saint Francis. I am inspired daily by being a part of a team that delivers compassionate and comprehensive support to patients. The music and positive energy coming out of the Cardiac Rehab gym always puts a smile on my face!
Claire L. Karwacki-Marugg, M.S., C.E.S.Manager, Cardiac Wellness and Rehabilitation Program, Hoffman Heart and Vascular Institute
I have worked at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center for the past 25 years. I graduated from the University of Wyoming with my Masters in Exercise Physiology, and am certified by the American College of Sports Medicine as a Certified Exercise Specialist.
There is such a need to educate the public about cardiac wellness and prevention. The Hoffman Heart Cardiac Rehab program provides a unique opportunity to teach awareness and skills to people on how to live healthier lives.
Kathleen Marrero, R.N.Lead RN, Non-Invasive Cardiology/Cardiac Rehabilitation, Hoffman Heart and Vascular Institute
I have been a registered nurse and have worked at Saint Francis Hospital & Medical Center for 34 years. My clinical experience is step down cardiac surgical unit, and non-invasive cardiology testing. My cardiac rehabilitation experience includes patient education, phase 2 and 3 outpatient education, and exercise programs. I enjoy working in Cardiac Rehab because I am able to work with a diversified team. Our team consists of cardiologists, exercise physiologists, exercise specialists, cardiac rehabilitation specialists, dietitians, and registered nurses. Our team offers different areas of expertise that allow us to implement new ideas to better care for our patients.
Anne McCormack, R.N., B.S.N.Staff Nurse level II
I attended Harris College of Nursing, Texas Christian University, in Fort Worth, Texas. In the Hoffman Heart Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, as a Cardiac Rehab nurse, I am responsible for daily management of the patients in our Phase II and Phase III programs. I also recruit inpatients for the Cardiac Rehab program. Our team collaborates to promote health and wellness for patients through monitoring medications, individualized exercise programs, nutrition, and by assisting patients toward their wellness goals. I educate patients about cardiovascular disease, and I coach practices that modify their risks. I also develop educational tools for patients.
Someone with a cardiac event that requires lifestyle modifications can be overwhelmed. It is a joy to aid patients, teaching about health matters and how each can improve their wellness opportunity through exercise, diet, and medications. Over a 3-month period our patients gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence in their ability to positively modify their physical and mental health, and are successful in doing so. It is humbling to witness this life-changing process. It is a privilege to aid in teaching them, to listen to them and discuss their concerns. It is a gift to develop these partnerships, and to see positive health benefits become real for our patients.
Annette Wenker, B.S.N.Cardiac Rehab Specialist
I graduated from Adelphi University, Garden City, NY. I have worked at Saint Francis Hospital & Medical Center for 11 years. As one of the team members who recruits inpatients for cardiac rehab, I may be one of the faces you see after a cardiac procedure, just as you're beginning your journey in cardiac rehab.
I will also make sure you are educated and enrolled in a 12-week monitored cardiac rehab outpatient program (Phase II) before you are discharged, whether it's an exercise program in Connecticut, or anywhere in the country, so you can continue your journey.
I may see you before your surgery as well. It is a rarity and privilege in the health field to see a patient from admission to discharge. I also have the privilege of seeing you 2-4 weeks after your event, as you begin exercising 3 times a week for 12 weeks in a professional setting. To me, this experience is priceless. Truly, your health is a journey of a lifetime. Exercise it well.

Recalled Symonds on scent of English
Roy of the overs ... Symonds bowls a few in the nets at the WACA
Photo: Getty Images
IF YOU happen upon Andrew Symonds at some point this summer, it may be best to avoid any mention of his English heritage. For your own sake.
In an otherwise light-hearted press conference to discuss his return to the Australian Test squad yesterday, Symonds's mood darkened considerably when asked about his selection in the England A side 11 years ago; an approach he declined so as to keep alive his dream of representing Australia.
"I'm sitting here now, mate," Symonds snapped at his inquisitor. "Do we have to go over this every single time? I'm playing for Australia."
Fiercely proud of his Australian identity, Symonds bristles at the mention of his English eligibility. Certainly, he has answered his share of questions over the England A approach. But you sense his frustration goes beyond that, as if the very mention of the fact that he was born in Birmingham, not Brisbane, somehow calls into question his commitment to the Australian cause.
To those around the national team, Symonds is regarded as the most overtly patriotic player around; the ultimate alpha-Australian male. When called up for his maiden Test in Sri Lanka two years ago, Symonds wore his baggy green cap continuously for five days, removing it only to shower and sleep. He was in tears at the Wanderers ground in Johannesburg a year earlier after Australia's World Cup victory, declaring: "I have never been to war but it was like we were in the trenches together today and we won like the Anzacs had won." Over the top, perhaps, but in the delirium of Australia's post-final celebrations, his patriotic pride was clear.
That resurfaced again last week when, after a few moments of introspection, Symonds fetched his baggy green cap out of the closet and held it to his nose. The smell of sweat and beer was unmistakable; a throwback to his 10 Tests, nine of which Australia have won. At the time, Symonds wondered whether he had played his last. Then, several days later, he received a phone call from chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch, informing him he had best be on the next flight to Perth.
"The last few weeks I've probably been trying too hard and things haven't been going well. Then I got the call-up and I was really shocked," Symonds said. "I actually had my baggy green out a few days ago and I looked at it and I smelt it and I wondered if I was every going to wear it again. Now we're a couple of days away from finding out. I'm pretty excited."
Symonds will almost certainly slot into the No.6 position for the third Test at the WACA Ground, with Michael Hussey and Michael Clarke shifting to No.4 and No.5 respectively. His medium-pace and off-spin, as much as his batting, are viewed as handy additions to the team on a Perth pitch that is expected to prove hard work for the bowlers.
For Symonds, this Test represents his third and possibly final call-up to the side. Dropped after two Tests in Sri Lanka then again after this year's tour of South Africa, having played eight consecutive Tests after Shane Watson broke his shoulder, the 31-year-old is well aware of the opportunity before him. "If I was to play, it won't be just a filling-in job, I'll be giving it 100 per cent," he said. "It'd be a huge opportunity."
Symonds, to date, has been among the most frustrating cricket commodities in the country. In terms of raw physical attributes, he is unmatched. With power, versatility and the sharpest of eyes, he has been earmarked to assume Adam Gilchrist's role of middle-order enforcer when the wicketkeeper-batsman leaves the game. But in his 10 Tests, Symonds has yet to realise his full potential, averaging less than 20 with the bat and appearing constricted at the crease.
"I've got to be a bit more carefree with my intensity," he said. "Last year I probably tried too hard at times and ended up clamming up for the wrong reasons. I just have to be careful with how I approach it.
"You're so keen to do well, sometimes it is very hard to say, 'Bugger it, I'll just go out there and play.' You're not playing backyard cricket. You're playing for Australia. It's not necessarily that simple. But that's what you have to learn to do."
All-rounder Shane Watson will begin a comeback aimed at the Boxing Day Test when he plays in Queensland's Pura Cup match against South Australia in Adelaide from Friday.
Watson, who had been expected to be Australia's No.6 in the Ashes series, has not played since pulling out of the first Test with a hamstring strain.

Situated Alcala de Henares and set in a peaceful residential area, this flat is the ideal home base for any student who values location. So of that's your case, you definitly wan't to keep reading. What makes this place such a great pick is the combiniation of proximity to everything you might need in order to ensure a well-provided stay.

Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

I can recommend Auto Mall Tint Specialist in Fremont for the outstanding job they did installing Huper Optik on my Accord a few years back. All of the tint shops near me carried various metallic products and I was looking for ceramic to avoid problems with my Nav and radar detector. I originally had an appointment with a shop in Sac, but they stood me up... so I called AMTS. They not only opened on a Saturday to help me, though they only advertised M-F hours, but they quoted me at $450, which was $50 less than the other shop. When I got there, we discussed the different varying levels of darkness and how a 45 film might be better than a 35 on the curved rear glass (if memory serves, they have to melt the film to fit, which can create ghosting and distortion on darker/thicker films). I eventually decided on a 65/55/45 front to back, which was perfect. I was very pleased with their customer service and quality of work. I sold the car 4 years later, having had no tint-related problems (ie. bubbling, peeling, scratches, etc). Good luck!

In my junior year of high school, I had to take chemistry. I was a bright student, but I came extremely close to failing that class, mostly because I hated the teacher so much. When the year was finally over, I was so exuberant at the thought of never having to deal with that class or Mr. Critchell again, that I decided to burn my chemistry textbook.
My dad had a burn barrel out in the backyard, in which we used to burn paper instead of throwing it out. Yes, I know it's not very eco-friendly, but we lived in a very small town, and there were no recycling facilities for paper. We decided that rather than contribute to the town landfill, if we couldn't recycle paper, we'd just burn it. So I took my chemistry book out back, and tossed it in the burn barrel on top of the ashes. Of course, being 15 and a stupid teenager, just lighting a match and setting the book on fire wouldn't be enough -- I needed to douse the tome in lighter fluid.
The book went up in a huge burst of flame, fire leaping out of the barrel, red-hot tongues licking the sky, the ground ... I was lucky. I didn't set myself on fire. But when my father found out what I'd done, I wished that I had been consumed by the flames. He was so furious. Just incensed. It was a stupid thing for a kid to do, and he let me know that in no uncertain terms. In fact, he actually made me write an essay on "The Dangers of Using Unknown Chemicals" ... although I was perfectly familiar with what lighter fluid was, Dad insisted that I was not sufficiently schooled in its use, otherwise I never would have drenched a book in it and set it on fire. Lighter fluid was to be used to help start a barbecue, or for other sanctioned purposes. Burning books was not an acceptable use of such a dangerous chemical.
I still have that essay, on a disk of old files from high school. It was very tongue-in-cheek, and actually quite well researched. I don't think my father expected that I would delve into research on hazardous materials, or outline how dangerous it is to use chemicals with which one is unfamiliar. I think I may even have given him some trouble with a few of the more verbose, pedantic sections.
Did I learn my lesson? Yes. Nevertheless, I've done incredibly stupid things since then, as most of us have. But at least my dad hasn't made me write any more stupid essays.

Local TV fights back in LA!
For over a century, Los Angeles has been regarded as one of the greatest boxing cities in the world. With a large fan base, Los Angeles has also been the home and the home-away-from home for many of the best and most exciting boxers in the history of the sports. Since the mid 40's, local boxing has had an interesting relationship with local television and now, after almost 10 years of absence, it is making a long-awaited return into the Southern California homes. Starting on July 30th, KWHW-TV, Channel 22, in association with Big Star Promotions will launch a new live boxing series entitled "Noche de Boxeo" , a monthly two-hour feature to be presented live on the last Thursday of every month.
The inaugural card on a one-year agreement, will be televised from the El Monte Expo Center in El Monte on July 30th starting at 8:00 PM. The El Monte Expo Center is located at 12051 Garvey Avenue, El Monte, California.

Historically, KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles, made history in 1946 when it started televising boxing matches from the Olympic Auditorium and other local venues. That was the time where there were fewer than 1000 television sets ion the area.
Later, KCOP, Channel 13 also televised live boxing matches, originating from the Grand Olympic Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles, on and off from the late 1960s until as recently as the mid-1990s, with legendary Los Angeles sportscaster Jim Healy calling the blow-by-blow action in the early years.
Since 1982, Forum Boxing, through Prime Ticket Television Network, also transmitted it's Monday Night fight cards, although these were intended for national viewership . In 1993, through its affiliate station, Spanish Language television La Cadena Deportiva, began transmitting the same cards nationally.
The last Los Angeles based station to transmit live boxing shows was KCAL , Channel 9 in Los Angeles. KCAL transmitted 6 shows per year until 1999, where the activity was suspended, after the Los Angeles Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers left the Great Western Forum –the base for Forum Boxing and KCAL Boxing- and moved to the Staples Center.
The popular fight cards got terrific ratings. Starting in 1995, KCAL won three Emmy Awards for its boxing series.
For the "Noche de Boxeo" two members of the popular KCAL boxing series, Fernando Paramo and Marcelino Avila, will be the hosts of the program. Paramo, a highly recognized commentator and writer, will have blow-by-blow responsibilities, while Marcelino Avila, an ex boxer and boxing historian, will provide the color and commentary. Both Paramo and Avila are multiple (3) Emmy Award winners for their work in the KCAL boxing series.
"We believe the time is right for a series such as Noche de Boxeo" , said Big Star Production director, Adrian Garcia. "Currently boxing is in a crossroad, few aging superstars, some big-name fights, but very little entertainment and real boxing. Los Angeles has a great boxing tradition and we will work hard to continue such tradition"
"We will showcase upcoming talent and ensure that or cards have legitimate contests. These Channel 22 live fight cards should provide the opportunity to boxers, and two hours of great entertainment for the viewers," added Garcia.

My family and I spent an academic year in Niger, West Africa in 2006-2007. I was there as a Fulbright fellow, teaching 19th century American literature and writing and researching articles (like this one, "Looking Up," which was a cover story for Smithsonian Magazine and this one "A Crusading Publisher Pushes Niger's Limits," published in the Christian Science Monitor).
Most Americans have never heard of Niger.
It's one of the poorest countries in the world.
It's also one of my favorite places on Earth.
I miss Niger with so much heartache, like missing a best friend.
Inspired by this article on how to get motivated to exercise, James and I took the baby for a run yesterday. Even though it wasn't seven o'clock, it was already unpleasantly hot in Ashland, Oregon.
James is lean and fast. He runs a lot. I am not-so-lean (remember Jack Sprat's wife?) and very s-l-o-w. But I was spritely yesterday and James was flagging. His stomach hurt.
"I feel like I'm going to have diarrhea," he said. "This used to happen to me when I ran in Niger. I have to keep my butt cheeks together so I can't run fast."
Excessive heat. Bowel troubles. Sweat. All of that came with living in Niger.
But that was only part of it.
Heartbreaking landscapes of sand dunes and gawo trees. Incredible friendships. Debating Emerson's notion of self-reliance with young men and women who had never thought of non-conformity. Taking the most refreshing shower of my life using one a bucket of water. Appreciating the small things. People who have so little but do so much.
When Hesperus was small we lived on the East Coast. My best friend Sue lived in Oregon. We would visit and I would start to miss her even before we left. So would baby Hesperus. "Miss Sue," she would say and then sniff sadly. "Miss Sue."
I felt like that about Niger yesterday. I feel like that about Niger today. I hope to go back soon. Even if I do, I think it is a country I'll be missing for the rest of my life.

Detailed Description:
Elevated levels of D-dimer, a marker of procoagulant state, have been identified as a marker of an increased risk of recurrent VTE. Statins have proven antithrombotic properties, as suggested by the reduction of several prothrombotic markers, including D-dimer, in patients at high risk of arterial thrombosis. Such antithrombotic properties could also be observed in patients at high risk of venous thrombosis. Aim of the study is to assess the effect of statins on D-dimer levels in patients with previous VTE after oral anticoagulant treatment withdrawal.

We're Doomed 'How to Destroy Something Beautiful' (EP Stream)
Published Sep 20, 2012
The band enlisted Matt Bayles to mix the EP at his Red Room Studio in Seattle, with Jon Epworth producing, and according to a press release, it features "heavy riffs, syncopated rhythms, dynamic vocals, and a general disregard for the genre barriers between rock, pop and metal."
You can check out the juxtaposition between twinkling rock anthems like "White and Blue" and the mathy, fretboard-annihilating runs and sung-screamed lyrics that fuel the title track for further proof.
Along with the new EP, We're Doomed will also be playing several East Coast dates. You can see the complete schedule below.

A group of 27 American congressmen wrote President yudhoyno of Indonesia about their concerns of religious freddom in his nation. They were particularly upset at recent attacks upon members of the Ahmadiyeh sect of the Muslim religion whose views differ with those of other Muslims. They urged him to immediately revoke the decress that bans Ahmadiyeh from conducting religious activities in the country and repeal the long-standing blasphemy law which is used to prosecute religious minorities who exercise their right to freedom of religious expression." A few weeks ago, members of the Ahmadiyeh sect were brutally attacked and several killed by mobs even while police were present.
The tragedy of Indonesia is their historic pledge to respect different religions, but that respect does not carry on to Muslims who differ from traditional Muslim beliefs. Unfortunately, the US can not exert pressure on Indonesia to implement religious freedom, but it is welcome that some US Congressmen turn away from idiot discussions in our land and pay attention to those in far away places who seek freedom.

I played the game and loved it for the first two months. But then it became meh, mythic keep adding PVE content in a game that should be RvR oriented and some classes remain pretty much useless -.-. When mark jacobs left the game started to take a nicer step to a loooong right road that should had be taken waaaaay before. We'll see .. but EA Announce wheel of time MMORPG so i sense a fund cut on Warhammer Online
" Here we go our step so silent
Here we go our blooded trace
the Jester Race "
I have yet to see anyone give a real reason as to why the game is so bad.
The major flaw i saw was the server population. Join Iron Rock, you'll be fine.
Also the new patch was an attempt to bring a new type of PvPvE into the mix, not just PVE.
Also maybe ur the newc****, read the patchnotes. The changed city seige to make PVE OPTIONAL~ hardly required.
I honestly don't lag. I have many characters across many tiers. Read a prior post for the name. Neither am i ever going to be a fanboy.
It's a pretty good mmo as far as the industry goes, and im just pointed out the baseleness in the coments of the forum.
So Why is it someone in this forum has to etiher be a fanboy or a flamer?

-Massive lag in large RvR battle, Mythic must have been thinking that everyone owned a super computer when they made the system.
-Server lag in large RvR battles, more than 50-60 on each side and let the delays begin!
-Terrible class balance, most of the order classes are mildly to majorly more powerful than their Destro counterpart. One clear example of this is the Disciple of Kain Vs. Warrior Priest. Yea Warrior Priest will win almost every time unless they suck.
-Along with that terrible class balance comes the fact many destro have quit or rerolled over the issues. The Destro that loved the game rerolled order and the other quit. There is still a Destro population on some servers but most have not been able to push to Altdorf in months because of the balance issues.
Could be a good game if the population was massive, but unfortunatly with each patch Mythic puts a nail into it's coffin.
Fixing major issues by ADDING PLAYER VERSUS ENVIROMENT/USELESS CONTENT instead of ACTUALLY FIXING IT.
Majority of the weapons ONLY accesable through PLAYER VERSUS ENVIROMENT.
The focus on this game is PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER and NOT PLAYER VERSUS ENVIROMENT.
Fanboy, you are trying to defend a lost case, which you cannot defend. Go back from where you came, which I presume is the rock under altdorfs palace gate and stay there.

So because i dont completely hate the game im a fanboy?
BTW the latest patch they are chaning the CitySeige PQ. Its PVP all the way now.
I don't know how u figure DOK would always beat WP That's pretty far fetched.
Lol, you guys are just flamers. Should I ignore how fun the game is and join the bandwagon of flamers? No thanks.
[My Anime List] | [last.fm] | [xfire] | [Steam]
I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
-I guarantee u the only reason why everyone on the forums are flaming is because the people who like this game wont be trolling, THEY ARE PLAYING THE GAME.
-Lets see when it goes live? Another baseless flame. The new city seige works wonderfully well. Great improvement.
- Doks playstill are more Offensive and WP are more defensive. WP cant 'easily' outheal a DOK; with the T3 orvr challice DOKs have no issue healing at all
- Your not flamers for ur opinion ur flamers for saying stuff like
"Fanboy, you are trying to defend a lost case, which you cannot defend. Go back from where you came, which I presume is the rock under altdorfs palace gate and stay there. "
That's a flame. Your a flamer. Ive never attacked anyone personally.
All im saying is the game isnt as bad as you guys make it out to be.
But dont take my word for it. Open up a 10 day free trial on IronRock sever and decide for urself.
http://www.wardb.com/user.aspx?id=153571 (it's slow in updating)
And yes, it's still active till mid september.
Anyways, seems like we got off on the wrong way.
If you were playing lately on Karak Eight Peaks on my side, you'd understand my anger towards how the game is being run.
BW bomb squads in orvr everywhere, altdorf stage 2 and 3 bugged (same for IC). Server transfers did not only kill the server for destruction, but for order as well now. They even don't attack the forts anymore... they take the zone before the siege, come in once, throw a rock at the wall and go out again.
Destro hardly can get a whole WB together, while order runs rampant with at least 7+ wbs.
Mythic made BW and WP "more" powerfull then the destro equivalent because destro outnumbered order alot when war launched, they still are more powerfull then their destro counterparts, not as much, but they still are.
T3 scs, 2 WPs in it and we have a guaranteed lose. We lack the attacking powers to outdamage their heals, we need more then 4 people on them to get a WP down that only heals himself without help from others.
I didn't see order needed that much trouble yet to take down a DoK.
The stage 2 and 3 being contested is great, but it will probably take very long too, which will hold off alot of people back. The 2 hours stage 1 are boring enough as they are now.
[My Anime List] | [last.fm] | [xfire] | [Steam]
I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
Why not transfer out of Karak?
I will admit War is a dying game (ever since WOTLK).
But like i said the couple of balanced high population servers are still fun.
Im pretty sure outside of the top 4 populated server the game's a hot mess. I know i used to play on Monolith.
Anyways i already quit the game. It does get boring too fast, guess i'll be on rumble fighter till XIV!
[My Anime List] | [last.fm] | [xfire] | [Steam]
I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
Well history teaches us when warhammer offers server transfers it means they are getting ready to shut down the server.
That pretty much f*cked up the server and both destro and order are saying the server is in a bad shape.
It's getting better in orvr seeing we just hit 5stars again after 2 months being on 1 star.
Still, the damage is done and both sides have little faith in it being restored.
[My Anime List] | [last.fm] | [xfire] | [Steam]
I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
Actually its not that hard to take out a WP. I can do it with my WE using throat cutting and reducing their heals to 50% of normal. I can toe to toe a WP pretty easily. Often they will run from anyone who can silence or disable their healing. Dmg wise they are pretty fair considering they are a healer.
However you have to take into account that they are part of a WB which has more healers, tanks and DPS which can and will take YOU out before you get their healer.
As for the Destro side. Try chosen. At T2 I can use my chosen to tank around 5+ people at once all hitting me and they will barely hurt me at all. With a healer around I'm nearly unstoppable. Even to BW's which I just hop back and forth with elemental resist and respite so that as he hurts me, he hurts himself for over 100 dmg a cast + with me hitting him. BW's hate chosen.
and for the record I've seen and ran Destro WB's up to 3 full wb's in one go, owning t2's and t3's. We capped keeps in less than 3 mins. Regardless of order defending or not.
Actually when I played the game (when it came out) it lagged despite the system specs. I was in one of the biggest alliances on my server and everybody lagged. Had guildies that had PCs decked out with best graphic cards and they lagged more than me. It was random, and it sucked. But I love the game so meh.

Found this online figured Id share...Dont know whether its true or not but its information nonetheless.
Official name for Dulce UFO underground base disclosed
Norio Hayakawa Norio email@example.com
Popular Internet radio broadcaster Jerry Pippin [link to www.jerrypippin.com]
based in Muskogee, Oklahoma, stunned his worldwide audience on September 25 when he featured researcher Anthony Sanchez who, for the first time ever, revealed to the public the official government/military name for the much-rumored, alleged underground installation in Dulce, New Mexico.
Sanchez disclosed the complete name of the installation as: "Rio Arriba Scientific & Technological Underground Auxiliary".
He stated that this information came to him directly from a retired Air Force Colonel in January of 2010 when the Colonel invited him for an private interview in his cabin in California.
The interview lasted about three hours and was recorded on tape.
The Colonel is presently teaching in a college under a new, assumed name.
Sanchez seems to be in touch with the Colonel who gave him more astounding information about this complex.
Sanchez stated that the Colonel agreed to cut off all communications with him once Sanchez' book, UFO Highway, is released in December, 2010.
The official, abbreviated form of the Dulce installation is RIO ARRIBA CO, DSD-3 or RIO-AUX, Sanchez told the audience.
This military designation is not found anywhere on the Internet.
Sanchez said that he was told that this designation is "classified" when he made an inquiry with the Military Records in St. Louis.
Another information that stunned Pippin's audience was the revelation that there are three separate installations in Dulce. The main underground installation is named TA-D1 and is located, surprisingly (and confirming the long-existing rumor), under Archuleta Mesa!!
The second underground installation (a two-level installation) is named TA-D2 and is located on a non-descript area between the Eastern slope of Archuleta Mesa and County Road 357, close to the Colorado stateline. The exact location of this Security installation will not be disclosed.
The third installation is called TA-D3 and is located in the Leandro Canyon (close to the Project Gasbuggy site of 1967), about 22 miles southwest of Dulce. This installation is the furthest from the main complex, but is connected to the main facility by an underground tunnel system, stated Sanchez. "In fact, all three facilities are interconnected by subterranean tunnels. The most astounding information that was disclosed to me was that the main facility under the Mesa is also connected to Los Alamos National Laboratories in Los Alamos, New Mexico".
(A distance of about 65 miles!!).
TA, as everyone knows, is Technical Area, as used in Los Alamos.
In this stunning broadcast, Anthony Sanchez confirmed the Colonel's statement that there is no record whatsoever of a Thomas Edwin Castello that was ever employed as security personnel in Dulce.
Another statement made by the Colonel, Anthony Sanchez said, was that there have never been any "Reptilians" in Dulce.
One interesting thing that the Colonel mentioned to Sanchez was that the Colonel and his wife were present incognito at the 2009 Dulce Base Conference which was held in Dulce, New Mexico.
The conferece was held on Sunday, March 29, 2009 and drew about 130 people.

Those underground bases are a little covered up with what we call a satellite blocker..like copper tone lol lol. cant see us now! Out of site out of mind..yoho!Quoting: hummbird
all I can say, is if this base is real..and only 10 percent of what is said about it true..then it makes area 51 seem about as nefarious and interesting as a Kmart. you really want to hear some interesting stuff about Dulce NM, check out the thread about Phil Schneider

Antibiotic eye drops, which are commonly prescribed after intraocular injections for choroidal neovascularization, have been linked to resistant strains of ocular flora as well as multiple-drug resistance, according to a study published in the September issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology.
"Our findings indicate the need for more judicious use of ophthalmic antibiotics after intraocular injection to reduce the potential emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance," write Stephen Kim, MD, and Hassanain Toma, MD, from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee.

Transformers is an excellent movie and most likely even better in high-definition. The CGI here was amazing - definitely in the upper-echelon of all effects-heavy films. I would love to replay that freeway battle scene in HD.
MarshaWJS's recommendation
i loved transformers as a kid so when this movie came out i was beside myself. the special effects were so well done and the action is intense. and of course, there's a little bit of comedy too. can't wait to see transformers 2!
