The two-man team from Awesome Games Studio has released their new platformer, Oozi: Earth Adventure. The short of it is that Oozi is, in fact, awesome. Yes, there will be those who, without even playing, will dismiss Oozi as just another platformer in an already crowded market. However, give the game a bit of time and Awesome Games Studios will show you exactly how to stand out in that crowded market. Upon launching the game, you will be immediately blown away by how much effort and craftsmanship went into the art style. Running Oozi at 1920×1080 was a joy to behold. Eye candy everywhere you looked. The character models and backgrounds are meticulously hand-drawn. One small detail which was not visible until browsing screen shots to include in this review was how Oozi would look directly at the player during certain jumps. With that cheesy wide grin Oozi jumps around as if to say, "I am awesome and you know it."
The platforming itself is relatively tight using the Xbox 360 controller. There were a few instances where a double jump did not register properly, but those were few and far between. For the hardcore vets of titles like Super Meat Boy and Dustforce, Oozi may not be something of interest as it comes off as more of a relaxed stroll in park a la Marvin's Mittens. Oozi is your standard fair of basic platforming like you would find going all the way back to Super Mario Bros. While this may seem boring at first glance to some, Oozi is straight up fun to play. The deal is, not every game needs to break the mold or try something radically different. Oozi does not need to be clever nor does it try to be something it is not.
You can find many games on Steam which do not come close to the polish Oozi offers. For the $9.99 asking price on Desura, you will be treated to some beautifully mastered art work from four different worlds along with many enemies. If you are still on the fence, there is a demo available from the official site. In addition, help Oozi: Earth Adventure get on Steam by voting on their Greenlight page. Oozi: Earth Adventure does not drastically change the platformer genre, but it is a highly polished and entertaining ride through an unknown land. TPG will publish a full review in the coming weeks.

Promoting Self-Change From Alcohol Problems: Mechanisms of Change in a Community-Based Intervention (PSC3)

- How to Read a Study Record
Research has found that natural recovery (self-change) is a very common pathway to change for individuals with alcohol problems, accounting for nearly 75% of recoveries in several national surveys.
Although few members of the public are aware that self-change is possible, it also is the case that many individuals with alcohol problems do not enter treatment because of the stigma or fear of being labeled. The proposed study is based on findings from a recent randomized controlled trial designed to promote self-change in the community for problem drinkers who had never been in treatment. Media advertisements were used to recruit 825 participants. Eligible respondents were sent assessment materials to complete. After the assessment materials were returned, participants were randomly assigned to receive two alcohol pamphlets that were freely available in the community or personalized feedback based on their assessment responses (e.g., how their drinking compared to national norms, health risks associated with their drinking). A 1-year follow up found that while there were no differences in drinking behavior between the groups, both groups had very substantial reductions in their drinking 1-year pre- to 1-year post-intervention. In an attempt to determine what accounted for the change, participants' reports of their drinking were evaluated with regard to critical study elements (e. g., when assessment materials were received). Surprisingly, results revealed that many changed after seeing the advertisement, and before receiving the assessment materials to complete. This suggests that either seeing the ad ("Thinking about changing your drinking?") or a message in the ad ("Did you know that 75% of people change their drinking on their own?") may have catalyzed the change. To evaluate when change occurs and the mechanisms that may give rise to change, a randomized controlled trial involving 3 groups will be conducted. The groups will differ in whether they receive a message informing them that self-change is a common phenomenon (two groups will receive the message, one will not) and the occasion when the message is delivered (consenting to the study and before the assessment vs. with the intervention material). Comparisons made possible by the experimental design will allow an evaluation of the message as a precipitant of change. The use of Timeline Followback retrospective reports of daily drinking and recording of critical dates will allow statistical analysis of patterns of inflection (i.e., change in drinking) related to seeing the ad, receiving the message, receiving and completing the assessment materials, and receiving the intervention materials. Possible explanations for how the message could function as a mechanism of behavior change are offered (e.g., catastrophe theory, cognitive social learning theory). The ultimate objective of this research is to develop cost-effective, large scale interventions that can be viewed as an early stage in a public health, stepped care model by encouraging self-change for individuals with alcohol problems.

Welcome to the Midstate Trail
The Midstate Trail is a scenic footpath located in Worcester County, 45 miles west of Boston. This 95 mile hiking trail extends from Rhode Island crossing the gentle hills of central Massachusetts and eventually connecting to the Wapack Trail in New Hampshire. The Midstate Trail is highly accessible, easy to hike and the best way to enjoy the natural side of the region.
The Midstate Trail is close to large population centers yet it is remarkably wild and scenic. Wachusett Mountain and Mount Watatic, the last undeveloped mountain east of the Connecticut River, can be found on the Trail as well as many interesting geologic, historic and natural features.
Get the latest Midstate Trail Conditions >>HERE<<
New for 2016:
Self-Guided day-hikes for the entire 93-mile trail.
Some areas on the Midstate Trail are open to hunting during various statewide hunting seasons...
While some species can be taken year round, most hunting activity occurs between October 1st through February 29 when some of the trail and lands it crosses are open to hunting. Be safe by being prepared. Remember to wear blaze orange and leave your pet at home. There is No Hunting in Massachusetts on Sunday. Click Here to learn about Massachusetts Fish and Wildlife Laws.

We can learn a lot about who we, as a society, aspired to be—and who it was ok to be. Take the average Sport-magazine-reading man of 1970. The back covers of those magazines told that man that it was time to buy his son a shotgun. Advertisement I found a batch of these old ads this past weekend, while helping organize someone's collection. I was fascinated, not just by the notion that guns used to be sold on the back of Sport, but how guns used to be sold on the back of Sport. "Shotguns have been neglecting boys for years..." This was the most extraordinary one, I thought. Look at that prose! For buying junior a gun! (Click the image to expand; sorry about the lack of great focus.) Here's the full ad. Here's one that I don't think would fly in America today. Nor this one... bullets on the back cover. Deer! Texas! Here's an interesting test. They didn't put guns on the back cover of every 1970 issue of Sport. And some of the things they advertised there would still show up on the backs of magazines today. But these amazing gun ads? Probably consigned to the past. Advertisement Advertisement How are we feeling about gun ads? Or about what society used to say being a dad or a man was all about?That's my bit for Off-Topic today.

Mitsubishi Repair Problems? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi,Do you have a multimeter for some quick testing?
yes but not right now
No problem. The wiring that was shorted, was this the connector where it plugs into the blower motor, was it melted and deteriorated there?
Thanks.You mentioned a dash monitor is working... do you mean you have the info display that shows AC control, and that the blower speed display is working?
When the wiring was repaired, did you install a new connector to the end of the wiring, and replace wiring if necessary?
it melted the plastic connector i removed it checked voltage to the wire push connectors and there wasn,t any
Okay thanks. I apologize for the questions, I just want to be sure we are on the same page with what happened
The problem with the wiring melting at the blower fan is very common on this vehicle and we have to repair these harnesses all the time.
Did it appear that the wires had fused together?
When these harnesses melt there are three possible outcomes:Wiring needs repairWiring needs repair and blower motor is destroyed (internal wiring damage from heat)Wiring needs repair and fuse pops from wiring fusing together
Since you have checked for power at the blower fan connector and saw none, we can assume the fuse has popped either for the power supply or for the relay that controls the power supply to the fan
Both of these fuses are located in the in-dash fuse box, which is located in the drivers dash end-cap (Accessible only with the door open)
Fuse 20 (7.5A) is the relay control fuse, and fuse 6 (30A) is the power supply fuse for the blower
You should be looking at a popped #6 most likely, then we can recheck the voltage at the connector; if it is restored we can plug it in and give it a try; if it pops again the blower fan is damaged internally
i checked the fuses with an ome meter and the showed condinuity but i wasn,t sure what fuse so i checked them all
We want to double check this #6 30A... pull it out and give a visual inspection. If it is OK, then we will need to test for voltage on either side of the fuse (using the metal tabs on the top of the fuse)
If there is no voltage at the blower fan, and your wiring was properly repaired, this fuse will be blown... it is possible the link behind it could be blown however it is very unlikely that it would blow and not the fuse
i will double check the fuse and wiring to make sure however it will have to be tomorow thanks for you help if its the link behind the fuse where is it located
Just a moment, let me see if I have a diagram of it's location
Also, do you have a rear blower fan? If you do this is powered off the same link so if it works the link is OK
no we do not
Okay, no problem
Okay the supply is driven off of fusible link #1 which is the 80A link in the relay box by the battery. It is very very unlikely this is blown without the 30A blowing first... additionally you would likely have some issues with the dome light if it were blown.Here is the 30A we are primarily concerned with:
No problem, let me know what you find and if you need additional steps (depending on what you find), let me know
ok thanks
You're welcome, keep me posted, and good luck!

Rob Cooper of Cooper Spirits International has liqueur running through his veins. As a third generation distiller with family roots at Charles Jacquin et Cie and as the man who launched the critically acclaimed St-Germain Elderflower liqueur, Cooper has set the cocktail world on fire. And recently, he's been responsible for the long-awaited return of Crème Yvette, an original ingredient in the Aviation that Jacquin produced before discontinuing in 1969. With the relaunch earlier this year, bartenders cheered and instantly embraced it as a cocktail ingredient, so we thought it was time to check in with Cooper and see how things were going:
NCB Mix: You've recently released another cocktail-centric cordial, Crème Yvette, which has seen great acceptance from bartenders. How do you compare reviving this old recipe to the creation of your St-Germain?
Rob Cooper: There was a significant difference in the development of Crème Yvette versus St-Germain. Crème Yvette is a restoration of something that had existed since the late 19th century, and St-Germain was a pure creative expression. St-Germain is a reflection of my own personal vision, and Crème Yvette is simply a dusting off and polishing of a wonderful historic cocktail ingredient.
NCB Mix: What were the difficulties in reviving the old recipe?
RC: The records. There was little historic information at Jacquin regarding Crème Yvette. Fortunately, I found a recipe from the '40s in carbon copy paper of the formula. We used the same recipe, but we took the artificial violet color out. It is all natural now and just a blend of the four berry fruits and violet petals.
NCB Mix: What sort of feedback are you getting so far? Do you think Crème Yvette will be able to break out of the cocktail club world to retail the way St-Germain has?
RC: The feedback we have received so far has been stellar. The product is very well made, has a lot of integrity and is relatively unique. That said, I really don't know how it will do. We have tempered expectations for Crème Yvette. It is mostly an homage to the storied history of cocktails and the recent resurgence of this rich cocktail culture. It is a legendary product that was used during a very important span of cocktail history--the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. We have unearthed some great historic references of Crème Yvette cocktails during that period.
NCB Mix: In general, the last few years haven't been favorable for the cordial business — from top to bottom, the established brands have had a hard time at bars and restaurants. How have you been able to swim against the tide?
RC: We have been very fortunate with St-Germain. It happens to be an unusually high integrity product with an overtly approachable flavor. It is more versatile than any other liqueur on the market and has a high degree of accessibility and usability for a product that is so unique and well made.
NCB Mix: I remember when you were developing St-Germain that you sort of beta-tested it with some people to get input. Is that important in today's bottom-up bar world?
RC: I would say the bar trade has almost top-down influence. These are the people that are often the most educated and therefore have enough foresight and wisdom to give an indication of the potential of a new product. St-Germain was very difficult to produce and took almost five years to develop from idea to launch. We had a lot of time to sprinkle earlier versions around to friends.
NCB Mix: Are there other old cordials or liqueurs waiting to be reawakened?
RC: This is a question best answered by Eric Seed.
NCB Mix: What's your favorite cocktail right now?
RC: I am a big a fan of the Slippery Nipple.

We've been told the best way to get rid of the old stain is to pressure wash with corn cob. This not only seems time consuming, but is extremely expensive! In addition, it's hard to find someone to do it. Is this really the only way to go?

Romance Report for August 7
Flattering or Insulting? Kanye Calls Kim His 'Perfect B----'
For poet Robert Burns, his love was "like a red, red rose." Shakespeare compared his honey to a summer's day, though "more lovely and more temperate." The Temptations had "sunshine on a cloudy day," all thanks to their girl. And what romantic terms does noted wordsmith Kanye West use to describe Kim Kardashian?
"I wrote the song 'Perfect Bitch' about Kim," he tweeted on Tuesday, confirming speculation that his callipygous squeeze inspired a track he previewed Saturday in New York.
"[He raps] verses about his search for the perfect woman and how he has now found the 'perfect bitch,'" an earwitness tells the New York Daily News. "The crowd was on their feet."
The ditty, off Yeezy's forthcoming album "Cruel Summer," also apparently mentions Kim's curves, along with those of his ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose.
Four days earlier, he shared a photo of Kim's rear view sheathed in a backless white dress and silhouetted against the Lamborghini she bought him for his birthday.
His reaction: "MERCY."

First, let's talk specifically about using AtomPub for weblog entries specifically. Somebody could write a separate RFC or a whole book "Atom Weblog Publishing Guide." I suspect it would have something like the following in it: * Drafts: It is unacceptable not to offer the ability to preview an entry before publishing it. The only way the client can currently expect to provide realistic preview is by submitting a draft. So, this feature is basically a requirement. * Titles: I don't see how this is even an argument. Take any weblog, and look at its web page representation. There is a plain-text version of the title in the <html:title>. Now, look at it in Google Reader; it is plain text there too. If your title doesn't make sense in plain text then you are making a mistake as an author. If your client software allows somebody to put a Youtube video into the title then you need to find a new UI designer. As a result, the server should assume that it can strip out as much markup as it wants from the title if it has a good reason to do so, without worrying if it is going to turn the title into nonsense. But, the more markup it supports, the better. By the robustness principle, the server should never reject a title it can parse, and everybody can parse XHTML and plain text without question, so those types should never be rejected. * Summaries: The server should be able to tell the client "don't waste any effort generating a summary, because I will never use it." But, if the client sends a summary anyway, the server should use it. The server should definitely never reject an entry for containing a client-generated summary. And, the client should never expect the server to auto-generate a summary, so if it wants one, it should generate one itself. Similarly to titles, the client's UI shouldn't encourage the user to insert a 5,000 row table into a summary. Should the server accept a 5,000 row table in a summary? Probably not. But the software should accept some basic markup like hyperlinks and <em> tags in summaries or nobody will want to it. * Rights: The server should be able to tell the client "don't waste your time generating a rights statement, I have my own policy I'm going to use instead." But, the server should never require a rights statement. Whether or not the server accepts, edits, or rejects a rights statement is a legal question, not a technological question. IMO, it would be smart for clients to just omit a user interface for per-entry rights statements. * Content: Users will learn the server's markup capabilities from the documentation and from previewing. If the user wants to insert a YouTube video, a table, or an image, then he is going to find some way to do it, even if it means dumping his software for something else. If your software doesn't allow as much markup as WordPress allows, then it will fail. No client is going to let the user insert a youtube embed, an image, or a table into a weblog title. Weblog authors already know that their titles have to be presentable in plain text: That is how they are presented in <html:title> tags and in most feed readers. If an entry title doesn't make sense as plain text, then that is the author's fault. If the client encourages the user to put nonsense into the title, that is the software designer's fault. * ID. The client *has* to generate an ID, but it is likely that the server is going to override it. Clients must be coded to handle that. A server probably *should* override it to guarantee uniqueness. * Foreign markup and links: The client should not expect any foreign markup to survive the publishing process, because servers are likely to strip out foreign markup for privacy reasons. But, I think the spec. already says that a server cannot flat-out reject an entry because it contains foreign markup. How clients and servers preserve particular kinds of foreign markup and links probably needs to be specified on a case-by-case basis, is out of scope here. * Dates: The client should send reasonable dates and the client should expect those dates to be overridden by the server. Servers probably need to do that for many reasons. If the server provides some way to forward-date or back-date entries, then it should indicate that as a feature, but a client shouldn't assume that functionality is there without the explicit indication. * Authors and Contributors: The server should probably not reject these but it will probably have some policies in place that may cause them to be totally overridden. Some hinting would be nice here. * Support for HTML: Let it be a quality-of-implementation issue. It is recommended that servers support receiving HTML everywhere and clients should send XHTML unless they think the server supports HTML. If a client does not send HTML in an entry then the server should not transform it into HTML when sending it back to the client; that is, the server should store HTML if and only if it was originally given HTML. (Disclaimer: I greatly prefer XHTML over HTML.) * Slug: A weblog server should support it but may ignore it. A hint would be helpful so the client can enable/disable the UI for it, but client software should include some heuristics to determine whether slugs are supported. - Brian > I've got no problem with the notion that any impl that > supports HTML should also support XHTML (and vice versa) but > it's silly to think that text and xhtml support are somehow > equivalent. > > This particular set of features likely could be simplified, > but not like this. > > > However, I think it is unreasonable to require implementations to > > parse HTML.

The BBC have announced the introduction of a new television channel that will just be dedicated to apologies . The channel to be called ,"Whipping boy, "which will start transmission in September will include programmes devoted to people with their personal grievances .
Amongst the highlights .Once a week a programme will be given to the Daily Mail , who will pick a lucky person who will talk about the BBC's liberal bias .
This will be followed by a programme hosted by a Muslim who will demand an apology from the BBC for transmitting a programme where a daily mail reader called him that. Following that a member of the church of england will demand an apology for what the muslim said about him .
Fridays will be taken with the "Rupert Murdoch show ," in which the genial millionaire strokes David Cameron's hair as he demands an apology from the BBC because they stopped him making more money .
The highlight of saturday will be the "D.G torture hour ," in which the director general is stripped naked and hit with damp copies of the Sun , while he demands forgivness from a special celebrity . The first week will be Eamonn Holmes .
Mondays will include "The Government initiative spending licence fee spending hour," in which a minority group (i.e Pakistani teenagers ,left handed homosexuals)will win money to make radio or television programmes . All they have to do is get a government minster to issue a report that the minority is not being served by the BBC .This will be followed in the schedule the "BBC waste of money hour ," in which a government minster demands an apology for wasting licence fee money on minorities (i.e Pakistani teenagers , left handed homosexuals)
On top of this an extra feature of the channel will be a real time ticker which will roll twenty four hour apologies for the all the BBC output as it happens across the bottom of the screen .Another bar on the screen will show the resignations of BBC executives for that day .

Highlights for fabricators from the past week's Web articles— How fabricators support warfighters on location; what it takes to be the stamping company of choice; rebuilding a chassis in 29 photos; how to foster innovation; and new fabricating jobs heading to South Carolina.
Nowhere is fabricating more critical than on a military base in a war zone. Soldiers assigned to 2nd Platoon, 514th Support Maintenance Company, 419th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 10th Sustainment Brigade, provide fabrication and metal work at Bargram Air Field, Afghanistan, to meet the needs and enhance the safety of the soldiers who put their lives on the line every time they roll out on a mission.
Job satisfaction? Pfc. Toney Chambers, an allied trade specialist from Atlanta, was quoted in an article on dvidshub.net as saying "Back in the states, we really don't get to do our job because there isn't a big demand for it. But here, we are constantly busy doing our job. I like that."
Stamping companies that want to be among the best should note the information in the article "Minding your business: What to expect from a metal stamping provider." Geared toward those who are looking for metal stamping suppliers, the article highlights the most important characteristics to look for in a supplier—qualities stampers must have to win bids. Among these are: advanced capabilities; being a solutions provider rather than simply a parts provider; a superlative quality management system; and capabilities that go beyond just stamping.
Also listed are the secondary operations a stamping provider should handle in-house or via a network:
• Preplating and postplating processes
• Precious and nonprecious metalwork
• Heat treatment
• Tooling and trimming
• Painting and electrocoating (e-coating)
• Forming and welding
• Specialty edge cleaning and deburring
• Passivation and sterilization
• Assembly and packaging
Gearheads, this one's for you. Rod & Custom offers an article about fabricating an early Ford chassis that has 29 photos showing each step of the process, which began with a swap of Stewart-Warner gauges for a pair of 1932 framerails and a front crossmember. (True gearheads will know exactly what these are.)
The idea was to build a 1929 roadster on the rails and use a Flathead V-8 engine from a previous project. Scroll through the photos and see how it's done.
Want to foster and advance innovation in your business? Then expect and embrace the unexpected. That's the advice from the fourth annual Innovation Leadership Summit hosted by NineSigma.
According to NineSigma, examples that illustrate this paradigm are PepsiCo converting orange peels into biofuel, General Electric transforming its factories and taking new approaches to 3-D printing, and Eaton Corp., whose microgrids enable military bases to use energy efficiently.
Apparently these "nonintuitive" opportunities result from crowdsourcing as a repeatable business practice, developing a sustainable innovation portfolio, the innovation team of the future, and creative and advanced manufacturing. Outside the box thinking.
Finally, Palmetto Aero has announced that it is expanding in Colleton County, S.C., by building a 77,000-sq.-ft. hangar at the Lowcountry Regional Airport in Walterboro to make its products, which include sheet metal fasteners, airframe components, and the air truck, a single-engine, utility-type aircraft.
The expansion will create 44 jobs and, hopefully, more business as the company endeavors to supply Boeing and Gulfstream facilities in the area. When you want to supply OEMs, it helps if you are closeby.

By Kari Williamson
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, says: "This project represents another step in the effort to assist the nation's advanced biofuel industry produce energy in commercial quantities from sustainable rural resources."
Sapphire Energy intends to design, build and operate an integrated algal biorefinery (IABR) in Columbus to produce biofuel that can serve as a 'drop-in' replacement for petroleum derived diesel and jet fuel.
The IABR will be capable of producing 100 barrels of refined algal oil per day, equivalent to around 1 million gallons per year. The oil will be shipped to the United States Gulf Coast to be refined by Sapphire's refinery partner, Dynamic Fuels, located in Geismar, LA.
The funding is provided through USDA's Biorefinery Assistance Program.

I'm looking at purchasing the Schiit Lyr/Bitfrost combo for my HiFiMan HE-500 cans. This will be my main home rig and will be feeding signal from my music collection on my custom built PC tower.
I'm hoping the Lyr will be powerful enough that I would not have to upgrade down the road should I decide to pick up another set of cans like the HE-6 or similar. Plus I can always do some tube rolling to keep things interesting or to better suite different cans.
I also know the Bitfrost is easily upgraded by Schiit with their modular plug ins. So with that in mind I shouldnt need to be buying a whole new unit if/when the time comes.
Another factor is price the Lyr/Bitfrost with USB upgrade is under $1000.
So based on these facts would it be safe to go with this combo or is there a reason I shouldnt?

As title what fuel are you supposed to use in an S3 (my00 210bhp). Reason i ask is i use Tesco's super unleaded and a guy i work with uses normal unleaded in his 225 TT. Am i wasting my money? Nik.
It says in my hand book to use super unleaded of 98ron and above. t goes on to say if you use lower grade fuel you will experiance slight power loss and you should not cane the car too much with this fuel. (or words to that effect!) all in all the better octaine the rating of the fuel the more power you can achive from it. BP sell 102ron fuel for ~£2.50 / litre this will make your car go better but will also empty your wallett much sooner!
It is 97 ron or higher, will run on 95 ron but the ignition will be retarded slightly to avoid knocking. So you will be a bit down on power. IMO if you can't afford the fuel, don't buy the car.
I wouldnt try the 102 octane on standard I'm pretty sure somethings gotta be done to the engine to be able to use that fuel.
In both our cases its nothing to do with the ability to afford the fuel, in my collegues case i think its just ignorance to the benefits of higher octane fuel and engine requirements. From my point of view, my previous car was an Impreza STI PPP which needed 98ron min and therefore was pretty much limited to Shell Vpower(didn't go a bundle on BP Ultimate) so putting Tesco's Super in saves me cash anyway, not to mention far better ecomony. I do agree however that its pointless buying a performance car and not fuelling it accordingly because of insufficient finances. Nik.
Yeah, Millers octane booster. It bumps up your octane level by two and helps to advance the timing. I use it with V-power as that is the best for keeping the engine clean.
read an article in evo magazine yesterday concerning fuel. tested bp ultimate,sunoco gt race fuel, tesco 99 and shell optimax.what supprised me was looking at the power graph optimax came in fourth with bp ultimate only just behind the race fuel in first
I dont understand why anybody would pay the price bp want for their fuel, at least here in scotland each equivalent fuel is as much as 3p a litre more than everywhere else
Round here we have 99ron Tesco Super unleaded which is nice, it did well in the EVO tests a few months back against all the other 97+ fuels. and i have used it in a Cayenne S, an 05 R32, UK300 imprezza, and my 3.0V6 omega and now the S3 with great effects. The S3 had 55 in it when i picked it up GRRRR and when I refueled with 99 the difference a few miles later was noticeable, not like light on light iff but it was noticable I love my S3
I use 95 RON and have no problems. Ive tried the others and cant notice ant difference. Also I dont know what handbook you guys are reading but mine says 95RON.
It's funny how an 'Advertisment Feature' for BP Ultimate comes out top...IIRC Evo did one on Optimax a while back about the cleaniness of it's fuel compared to others and low and behold Optimax came out top. On a side, Millers; do you have to run a remap to get best use or can a stock car be okay?
Look on the inside of the petrol cap, it states the tyre pressures and the recommended fuel... in my case its the 97/98 RON super unleaded fuel!
My S3 must be super special. It can run on 95RON! Everyone else on here has a manual or fuel cap that says 97/98. I feel so lucky when my manual and fuel cap say 95RON.
Just checked mine and it says 98/95 ron so i'm guessing Audi are suggesting 98 is best which makes sense but 95 is ok. Nik.
If your car is chipped you should have been told what RON should be used at the time of chipping. For example I have an APR 98 RON program with timing advanced specifically for 98. I was also told by APR that if I was to use 95 RON I should be extremely cautious of pre-ignition, ie drive conservatively, or better still switch to the APR 95 RON program (which I can do using the cruise controls). Using a higher octane fuel than 98 RON with the 98 RON program is a waste of money unless you use software such as APR's V-Tune to advance the timing.
Well normally I am a BP Ultimate user, but after talking to friends and reading this tread I have decided to try something different. So after a friend gave me a can of Fuchs Pro Boost, atthe weekend i was straight down to Shell for a tank of V-power. Now according to people i should be able to feel a change on my second tank fuel, but already the car seems to like the mixture and is running well.
I have been running Optimax and Pro Boost for just 6 days. I managed 285miles, before having fill up this morning. The engine does seem to like it and seems to be running smoother than normal, ie not sounding as much like a bag of bolts! lol I have half filled my tank this morning and will add the Pro Boost this evening and fill up tomorrow morning to get a good mixture in the tank. Will see if it makes any difference on the 2nd tank full. May not interest anyone, but thought i would mention it. Enjoy
I noticed a big difference, used tesco fuel then switched to Shell 95 and got 340~ miles out of a tank. Gonna try V-Power next and see if my A3 enjoys 97 octane more.
Question: Running Pro Boost at the moment and car is going in for an MOT tomorrow, do you think it might effect the cars emissions? Probably nothing to worry about, just a thought. Thanks

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Somerville has received a $100,000 grant for a pilot program designed to help young adults gain work experience and improve the lives of lower-income residents. The city is one of six in Massachusetts to receive the grant as part of the Working Cities Challenge, which is a program led by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Somerville applied for the grant to support a program called Pocket Change, which will focus on giving low-income and low-skilled residents from 18 to 24 years old a chance to gain experience at different nonprofit organizations in the city. According to the city, there are about 9,700 residents in the 18-to-24 age bracket in Somerville, and more than 40 percent of them are classified as either low-income or very low-income. Other cities to receive the grant are Lawrence, Fitchburg, Holyoke, Chelsea, and Salem.

Bertrand Russell:
Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy
In early 2009, I began a project to make Russell's Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy available free online. I began with a rather low quality OCRed scan of the 1920 Allen & Unwin printing, which I cleaned up by re-adding formatting, correcting mistakes, inserting mathematical symbols, and so on. Several members of the Russell-l mailing list helped as well. Kenneth Blackwell, of the Bertrand Russell Archives/Research Center, McMaster University, contributed to the project in a major way by not only error-checking the bulk of the edition but also comparing it against Russell's handwritten manuscript, which turned up a number of errors in all previously published editions.
New corrections to the text (at least those of any significance) are marked in green in most of the editions below (except the .mobi version, which does not support color). The edition also contains a list of changes as an appendix. It is still possible, indeed likely, that errors remain in this edition because of mistakes in the OCR, formatting errors introduced afterwards, or discrepancies due to unknown corrections made in later printings (including a half-sheet of "entirely trivial" corrections Russell sent the publisher for the 1930 printing, which may or may not be included here). The result is nevertheless an edition which is likely the most correct version of Russell's book available anywhere. And it's all free. Nonetheless, if you discover any errors or additional discrepancies, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

From Our 2012 Archives Condom Knowledge Not Common KnowledgeCondom Misuse Is Common, Leading to Condoms Breaking, Slipping By Jennifer Warner Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD Feb. 24, 2012 -- Knowing how to use a condom correctly -- and actually using it -- may mean the difference between life and death. A new review of research shows errors in condom use -- such as putting it on too late, or not using condoms throughout sex, or not leaving space at the tip -- are common worldwide. Researchers say the results suggest that user errors are a major contributor to condom failure rates, and millions of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections could be avoided by improved condom use. "We chronically underestimate how complicated condom use can be," researcher Richard Crosby, a senior research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, says in a news release. "There is a complex triad of the sex act, condom use, and partner dynamics that must constantly be navigated by condom users." Overall, the World Health Organization says condoms have a 2% failure rate when used perfectly and consistently. But the typical failure rate is much higher, at 15%, with the typical use of condoms. Researchers say closing the gap between perfect use and typical use of condoms is a major public health issue for future condom promotion efforts. Condom Use Errors CommonIn their study, researchers analyzed 50 studies from 14 countries on condom use. The results appear in a special issue of Sexual Health on condoms. The review showed that although condom breakage and slippage were common issues in the studies, condom use errors were much more prevalent. In addition, researchers say it's probable that breakage and slippage often occur as a result of incorrect condom use. For example, one study showed the more condom use errors a person reported, the greater the odds of breakage, slippage, or both. The most commonly reported condom use errors were:
Researchers point to a need for better education and instruction regarding how to use a condom. SOURCES: Sanders, S. Sexual Health, published online Feb. 22, 2012.News release, Indiana University.CDC. |

Question: "How can I stay focused on Christ?"
In our fast-paced world, it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind and lose sight of our true purpose in life - the worship of God. Each believer, in striving to remain focused upon God, has his or her own way of keeping that focus. Each individual's needs are different. One person might memorize a Scripture verse each week; another might have a private Bible study each morning; yet another might have a goal of sharing the Gospel message with at least one person every week. Each of these things keeps Christ at the forefront of one's mind.
Also, each of these activities has something in common. Each is something that believers can do in order to keep their focus where it needs to be. This is surrender—surrender to Jesus Christ, to God. Surrendering one's whole life: needs, worries, pains, joys, praises. Surrendering the physical, the emotional, the mental, and the spiritual. Consider the following verses: Romans 12:1 (NLT): "And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?" Luke 9:23: "Then he said to the crowd, 'If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life.'" Romans 6:13: "Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning. Instead, give yourselves completely to God since you have been given new life. And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God."
A surrendered life is all about trust. It is trusting that God has your best interests at heart. It is trusting that His Word can be believed and taken at face value. It is trusting that all of your needs will be met. Surrender takes the focus off of self and places it upon Christ, and is demonstrated by obedience. Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, writes, "Surrender is not the best way to live; it is the only way to live. Nothing else works. All other approaches lead to frustration, disappointment and self-destruction." I personally can think of no better way to stay focused as a believer than to completely surrender my life to my Lord and Savior.

What Hiring Managers Secretly Think About Your Resume
June 17, 2014
Employers generally spend less than 30 seconds reviewing a job resume. If they don't see what they want, your resume will be tossed.
Recruiters were asked what makes a resume stand out. They jokingly responded:
You're assuming I actually get a chance to read resumes.
Someone who went to my alma mater. Not that I'm biased.
Jokes aside, what do hiring managers actually want to see? And on the other hand, what makes them throw a resume away? What do they secretly think when they see your resume?
A resume is still the backbone of how you represent yourself to potential employers. Substance and language both count when someone is making a quick first assessment. Recruiters said they look for:
A well-rounded candidate
Relevant, appropriate experience
Accomplishments—preferably measurable
Immediate availability
Something that makes you stand out
The ease of applying online contributes to a flood of irrelevant responses recruiters and hiring managers say they get after posting a job. Most said they receive hundreds of responses per posting, yet the majority of resumes do not match the job description.
Unless you want them to laugh at you or throw your application away, don't send an irrelevant resume. Here's an example of how to match your experience and accomplishments to experience required in the job description.
If the description says:
The Director of Nursing is responsible for operations and administrative leadership, the strategic and operational plans to support the vision of the department(s), operationalizing the plans and evaluating and/or revising the plan as needed. The task and responsibilities of this position include:
Leads the nursing team in achieving operational excellence.
Plans, organizes, and directs all activities related to staffing, including hiring, orienting, evaluating, and continuing education initiatives.
Ability to read and produce financial reports to support decision making.
Do not fail to explicitly note your specific experience related to the job; cite accomplishments from your clinical and customer service experience. Remember to also take time to say them right. To keep your resume—and your candidacy—viable, use specific, memorable language.
Executive Resume Writer
Laura Smith-Proulx
has a
helpful suggestion.
If you think what you've drafted might be cliché, Google it! The phrase "go-getter" came up on Google more than 1.6 million times—so you probably want to avoid it, along with "self-motivated" and "team-player."
To make your resume stands out, show—don't just tell about—your accomplishments. Describe your skills by their results using power verbs, said Smith-Proulx. In the example below, see how the bullet points refer back to the job requirements as advertised while using active verbs and citing quantifiable metrics.
Developed and implemented departmental goals and objectives consistent with medical, administrative, legal, and ethical requirements of the health care delivery system.
Functioned as a resource person for staff members and assisted in necessary education of individual members of the nursing staff.
Examined budget(s) and ensured assigned nursing areas operated within allocated funds.
The sheer number of responses to job postings these days is a real challenge. Don't make the mistake most job seekers do and send a generic response! Seize this opportunity to be a savvy resume writer.

Bucks Announce Changes to Upcoming Radio and TV Broadcast Schedule
Conflicting Games Moved to WSSP 1250 AM and FOX Sports Wisconsin's Alternate Channel
The Milwaukee Bucks today announced a series of changes to the upcoming broadcast schedule as a result of conflicts on their flagship stations, FOX Sports Wisconsin (FS Wisconsin) and Newsradio 620 WTMJ. All remaining regular season Bucks games will still feature live broadcasts on both TV and radio, with the six conflicting games moved to WSSP 1250 AM and FS Wisconsin's alternate channel.
The FS Wisconsin alternate channel is used by FS Wisconsin to simultaneously show multiple live events. As the exclusive local television partner of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Milwaukee Brewers, FS Wisconsin televises hundreds of live events annually. With two teams and just one channel, scheduling conflicts are inevitable. The FS Wisconsin alternate channel offers a solution.
The FS Wisconsin alternate channel is available to all cable and satellite providers that carry FS Wisconsin. The first Bucks games on the alternate channel (4/9 vs. OKC) will air on channels 310 (SD) or 1310 (HD) for Time Warner customers, channel 323 for Charter Communications customers, channels 658 (SD) or 658-1 (HD) on DirecTV and channels 444 (SD) or 9514 (HD) on Dish Network. Channel listings for the remaining alternate channel games will be available on bucks.com or http://www.foxsportswisconsin.com/pages/fswisconsin_alt/ prior to the game.
The complete broadcast schedule for the remainder of the season is below:

Elective Courses Reduce Discipline Problems At MIddle School
surrounded by the usual four walls and the harmonious clicks of his computer keyboard.
But his day will soon change.
Come 11:30 a.m. he's no longer an ordinary principal.
He's also a wood shop teacher.
And get this, his students get to work with power tools.
"We get to use table saws and draw designs on wood," said C.J. Hinojosa.
It's part of a full force elective effort to not only help relieve stress from state testing, but also cut down on discipline problems and it seems to be working.
"I would say our discipline referrals have probably have been cut 75 percent from this time last year," said Withrow.
Some of the kids like Hinojosa are even finding out more about what they'd like to do when they grow up.
"Probably build my own house," he said.
Whether its creating a wood sculpture in wood shop or icing cupcakes in culinary class, all of these projects serve a very special purpose.
The cupcakes will be given to teachers at lunch and it's not just the taste testers that are benefiting.
"Hopefully a lot of these kiddos that were working with they'll take something away that when they're married they can use at their home," said Withrow.
So it's a way for students to take a breather as they make the new welcome sign for their school
or the decorations for the teachers lounge and wrap gifts that theyll be donating to needy children.
"It makes us feel better, to not pay attention to ourselves so much and pay attention to other people," said Lillie Neves, who's part of the Pay It Forward elective.
It's all just part of an ordinary day at school, but the impact has been anything but that.
Teachers say its also helped kids with their grades since they have to earn a specific grade in a class in order to take an elective course.
If they're not passing a class, they have to take a tutorial session instead of the elective.

Mark Twain In Hartford: The Happy Years
December 1959 | Volume 11, Issue 1
My elder sister, Susy … was altogether the genius among the children. She had marked talent for writing and composed a charming little play when she was not more than fourteen or fifteen. We performed it one Thanksgiving night for a large company of invited friends, and all agreed that it was full of originality.
Susy at thirteen worked on a biography of her famous father, which began:
We are a very happy family. We consist of Papa, Mamma, Jean, Clara and me. It is papa I am writing about, and I shall have no trouble in not knowing what to say about him, as he is a very striking character.
Papa's appearance has been described many times, but very incorrectly. He has beautiful gray hair, not any too thick or any too long, but just right; a Roman nose, which greatly improves the beauty of his features; kind blue eyes, and a small mustache. He has a very good figure—in short, he is an extraordinarily fine looking man. All his features are perfect, except that he hasn't extraordinary teeth. His complexion is very fair, and he doesn't ware a beard. He is a very good man and a very funny one. He has got a temper, but we all of us have in this family. He is the loveliest man I ever saw or ever hope to see—and oh, so absent-minded. He does tell perfectly delightful stories. Clara and I used to sit on each arm of his chair and listen while he told us stories about the pictures on the wall. …
At another time she wrote:
He is as much of a philosopher as anything, I think. I think he could have done a great deal in this direction if he had studied while young, for he seems to enjoy reasoning out things, no matter what; in a great many such directions he has greater ability than in the gifts which have made him famous.
Mark Twain at Work
Twain found his house admirable for family life and entertaining, but a difficult one in which to write—even letters. He wrote to Mrs. Fairbanks:
As soon as you departed, Livy arranged a writing table near the conservatory, so that I could have the writing conveniences I had been wailing about so much. She put a box, called a writing desk, on this table—a box which opens in the middle & discloses two closed lids; inside of these lids are paper, pen, stamps, ink, & stamped envelopes. To get either of those lids open pushes patience to the verge of profanity, & then you find that the article you want is under the other lid. She put a delicate glass vase on top of that box & arranged pots of flowers round about it. Lastly she leaned a large picture up against the front of the table. Then she stood off & beamed upon her work & observed, with the Almighty, that it was "good." So she went aloft to her nap with a satisfied heart & a soul at peace. When she returned, two hours later, I had accomplished a letter, & the evidences of it were all around. The large picture has gone to the shop to be re-framed, the writing desk has returned to the devil from whom it must have come, but the flower pots & the glass vase are beyond the help of man. … Since that day I have gone back to precarious letter-writing, with a pencil, upon encumbered surfaces & under harassment & persecution, as before. But convenience me no more women's conveniences, for I will none of them.
He found professional writing equally difficult. Lathrop reported:
One would naturally in such a place expect to find some perfection of a study, a literary work-room, and that has indeed been provided, but the unconventional genius of the author could not reconcile itself to a surrounding the charms of which distracted his attention. The study remains, its deep window giving a seductive outlook above the library, but Mr. Clemens goes elsewhere. Pointing to a large divan extending along the two sides of a right-angled corner, "That was a good idea," he said, "which I got from something I saw in a Syrian monastery; but I found it was much more comfortable to lie there and smoke than to stay at my desk. And then these windows—I was constantly getting up to look at the view; and when one of our beautiful heavy snow-falls came in winter, I couldn't do anything at all except gaze at it." So he has moved still higher upstairs into the billiard room, and there writes at a table placed in such wise that he can see nothing but the wall in front of him and a couple of shelves of books.
A reporter from the New York World described the billiard room:
This room is a treat. A big billiard table with black and gold legs stands in the middle of it. … Mark Twain's desk stands in the southern corner piled with business papers. Shelves of books line the walls of this angle. "Parleyings with Certain People" rubs covers with the United States Newspaper Directory, and a commentary on the Old Testament is neighborly and shows no ill-feeling towards Ruskin, who stands near at hand in a red binding. The ground glass of the nearest window is decorated with a beerstein, gules, two long-stemmed pipes rampant and other devices of festivity. Pipes and boxes and jars of tobacco are tucked in here and there wherever there is room. The pipes are of corn-cob and burned to a jet black by much usage. …
The room presented housekeeping problems for Katy Leary:
