As said by head of BMW M Product Management, Carsten Pries:
BMW M's product planning chief says the next-generation M3 model family could be powered by a four-cylinder engine, despite the fact the Bavarian performance brand is currently without any four-cylinder models.
Speaking at the international launch of the all-new F80/82 M3 and M4 in Portugal over the weekend, BMW M Division Head of Product Management Carsten Pries told motoring.com.au it was "foreseeable" that a four-cylinder engine could power the next generation of the iconic model.

It's the battle of the performance coupes as BMW's new M4 takes on the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Can the M4′s turbocharged 425bhp six-cylinder petrol engine compare to the 6.2-litre V8 of the C63 AMG? Steve Sutcliffe has the keys to both, and he's about to find out.
BMW M3 and BMW M4 Inside (part 5): smartly light, rigid, precise. Interview with M engineer Florian Staiger.
BMW M3 and BMW M4 project engineer Florian Staiger.
Florian was in charge of integration of the complete vehicle.
It is generally the case that the top model of the regular series is lighter than the M automobile that is derived from it. Why is this so?
Historically, the M automobile always used to weigh about 100 kg more than the BMW vehicle it was based on.

Don't miss out on the action as the Wyoming Cowboys kick off their 2012 college football season. The Cowboys are led by head coach Dave Christensen and play their home games at War Memorial Stadium. War Memorial Stadium is the most elevated stadium in division I college football history at 7,200 feet above sea level. The stadium used to hold a mere 20,000 fans, but in 2010 they finished constructed and it now holds just over 32,000 screaming Cowboy fans. The Cowboys boast a current undrafted NFL star in San Diego Chargers wide receiver Malcom Floyd. Floyd concluded his senior year at Wyoming with a whopping 186 catches for 2,411 yards and 14 trips to the end zone. Last year the Cowboys finished at 8-5 with a trip to the New Mexico Bowl, a great accomplishment after a 2010 finish of just 3-9. This season the Cowboys look to continue winning, and have an opportunity to make a statement early as in the first game of the season they travel to Longhorn Nation to try and upset college football powerhouse: Texas. Later in the year, you do not want to miss out on the November 3rd Border War with Colorado State. The game has a long and rich tradition lasting through three centuries, and the Cowboys look to capitalize at home in 2012. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for all of your Cowboys and college football seats this 2012 season!

Dauphin Island Ride
November 8, 2009 at 10:10 am 3 comments
Yesterday I took two of my programming students to the University of South Alabama just west of Mobile for a programming competition. The competition involves a 5-hour session where we cannot make any contact at all with the students. What is a biking professor to do for those 5 hours? Well, let's see, I'll go for a bike ride! Here's a topocreator.com map of the route I took from the university down to the coast and across a 4 mile long bridge.
I started out heading due south on Hillcrest Road which was surprisingly hilly with some 5, 6, and 7% grades. It was a very wide 4 lane road, but there was a bit of traffic. Eventually, I made my way down to Carol Plantation Rd which took me for the next 14 miles south towards the coast. This road had much less traffic, but it was a narrower 2 lane road with a speed limit of 55mph. The road was very straight so most cars passed on the opposite of the road. I had a pretty strong side-headwind to battle so my pace hovered right around 20mph. It was very windy once I made it to the bridge. The middle of the bridge rose up very sharply with a maximum grade of 7%. Just to the right of the white line was about 18 inches of smooth, debris-free shoulder which allowed me to ride the bridge without being in traffic and without worrying about getting a flat tire. The actual shoulder was probably 6 feet wide, but it was quite debris-strewn past that 18 inch mark. It didn't matter much though because there was hardly any traffic.
Dauphin Island itself was a great place to ride with low speed limits, and wide smooth roads. I rode to the easternmost point of the island just past the ferry which is a 45 minute trip across the bay to Fort Morgan. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time for me to ride the ferry across, so I turned around and headed back with a strong tailwind. I was able to average much closer to 25mph for large sections of the return trip, except for the portions of the route which turned northeast since it was a strong southeasterly wind. It was an awesome change of pace from my normal riding in Birmingham.

Brian, I consider you one of the greatest! I have a backpack and a place to go.
The most responsible use of a bicycle is from A to B. Thanks for helping making it COOL to do so.
Thanks again for your participation in the TDC!
We saw you doing 25MPH in the headwind the day before you left for the DEEP SOUTH. Happy trails and the best to Kristine and the kids.
That is a nice route I will attest to.
Having ridden it as the first leg of Mobile to St. George Island, last year (June 2008).
Very nice campsites every nite: Dauphin Is. campground-Fort Pickens-Greyton Beach.

Vivienne Westwood isn't exactly known for biting her tongue, and in an interview with New York Times' critic Eric Wilson she has turned her critical eye to Michelle Obama. The first lady might have had the seal of approval from Anna Wintour, wear designs by Jason Wu and Thakoon and be America's first lady of fashion, but that doesn't mean she is safe from a Viv-ism.
Westwood clearly can't stand her vibrant All American style as she said: 'Don't talk about her. It's dreadful what she wears….I don't want to talk about it. Really, I can't. She's a very nice looking lady, but it's a nonstarter regarding clothes that suit her.'
She added: 'Jackie Kennedy was a different matter altogether. It just has to suit her and be something that makes a human being more glamorous. That's what fashion is there for. It's there to help, not just to make you look more conservative.' Ouch.
This isn't exactly the first time Viv has taken a stab at someone's style, as she has trashed Kate Middleton's make up as she said to the Sunday Times Magazine 'The sharp line around her eyes make her look hard. Either she should be smudgy or wear none.'
Viv also said she wanted Kate to recycle her wardrobe revealing: 'I don't have any advice for her, [although] I think it would be great if she wore the same clothes over and again, because that's very good for the environment and it would send out a very nice message. I mean you don't have to have a red outfit one day and then something almost the same in blue the next.' But she said in the interview with the New York Times that she didn't criticize her, she just thinks people should buy less.
The 71 year old is unlikely to stop provoking any time soon and in the interview Viv was a little feisty on a number of subjects. She confessed she was upset that the Metropolitan Museum of Art didn't take her V&A retrospective: 'I'll tell you the truth, not that it is a very good idea to tell the truth about things, but I was very cross with the Metropolitan Museum for not taking my retrospective. I think it's ridiculous.'
She's also so over American journalists as she added 'I'm also rather bored with American journalists…You know, America is an isolated territory, with all those editors who think they are so powerful. Mostly, I think they are rubbish.'
So what do you think of Michelle Obama's style? Rate her All American first lady look in the gallery below...

Update as issued at 12:44 p.m. Thursday by the Fort Wayne post of the Indiana State Police:
An overturned semi tractor trailer has slowed southbound traffic on I-69 at the south junction with I-469, near the GM plant. Emergency crews have cleared the right southbound lane and traffic is starting to move along, slowly but smoothly.
The left southbound lane will still be closed at this location for an unknown (length) of time as the trucking company makes arrangements to have a crew unload this trailer of its load of tractor parts and put it onto another trailer.
Motorists are asked to be observant for slowing or stopped traffic as well as emergency workers in and around the crash area. There were no injuries associated with this crash.

Paris, France
August 12, 1937
Committee for the Defence of WorKing Class Prisoners in Spain
The Committee cannot avoid the responsibility at this time of turning all its resources to the aid of the threatened Spanish revolution and the Spanish and international revolutionaries held in prison by the hundreds. Their defence is the duty of all workers and all honest liberals.
We feel that an essential part of this task is to keep the working class informed concerning the fate of the Spanish revolution and the prisoners. Since the foreign language press services from Barcelona have been practically all suspended by the wave of police repression against the revolutionaries in Catalonia, Paris becomes the most convenient center for gathering and distributing information about the Spanish revolution. Thus we are taking upon ourselves the responsibility of fulfilling this need and are attempting to supply regular bulletins in various languages, starting with this bulletin in English. Its regular appearance, as well as its publication in other languages will depend upon your response in the way of financial assistence. Pay for this copy and more, if you are able. Help the prisoners! Help bring the lessons of the struggle of the Spanish workers to the workers everywhere.
Send funds: (for Europe) to Compte-cheque Postal, A. Bardin, 1907-81 Paris (15 Passage Dubail); for America to George Novak, Room 1453, 22 E, 17th Street, New York, N.Y. (All funds should be earmarked fcr the committee.)
Andrea Nin was a well known figure in the international working class movement. Before the war he was active in the left wing of the CNT as secretary of the Teachers Union. At the time of the Russian revolution he was one of the first to rally to communism. He was condemned to death in Spain in 1920, but fled to Russia where he worked in the Central Council of and the Secretariat of the Red Trade Union International. In 1927 he uphold the policy of the Trotskiest-Zinoviev bloc regarding the economic policies of the Soviet Union and the problems of the Chinese revolution. He was thereupon refused responsible work and excluded from the Russian party. For two years he tried to leave Russia but was unable to. In 1930 after the fall of Primo de Rivera he was finally deported, and returned to Spain. He was immediately arrested, but soon released. He began to work with the internatioral left opposition. In 1936 the Communist Left joined with the Workers and Peasants Bloc to form the POUM. Since the July revolution he had become the best known and liked of the POUM leaders.
Nin was particularly obnoxious to the Stalinists because he was thoroughly informed regarding the internal situation until his expulsion. It is not surprizing then that the international program of the Communist Party, of which the suppression of the POUM was one of the first items, would include the elimination of its popular leadar Nin. He was arrested Tuesday, June 15, and taken immediately to Vamencia, and then, we believe, to Murcia province, a Stronghold of the Stalinist Cheka. He has never been seen nor heard of since.

Fact#1: pickups can't save a bad guitar.
Fact#2: the same pickups will work/sound different in different guitars. Even in the same model, same runs, but different units.
My Fender Stratocaster Custom Shop 1956 Relic (1 piece, light ash body + 1 piece maple neck) loads these pickups from the factory. The guitar is unreal, with a resonance and timber that is not-of-this-Earth. Probably it would sound great with virtually any pickup you'd slap on it, but I won't risk to try. I won't do anything that would alter her tone, and these FAT '50s guys are a big part of it. Couldn't be happier with them.
Again, the guitar (the piece of wood) plays a critical part in the final tone. I tried several '56s, same model, same pickups (FAT '50s), same year, even same runs, and they all sounded different. Yet, all of them sounded fantastic.
I don't know how these pickups would sound on a cheaper guitar, but I'm giving them a 10/10 upon my experience with them. Just the perfect chime, incredible twang, unreal fatness that never gets muddy, rich sparkling harmonic content, and perfect cut-thru-the-mix. The bridge pickup is super-usable by itself, full and musically pleasant, no need to use the tone control at all (just like in the good ole' Tellys). To me this fact speaks by itself.
Cheers Fender!

I bought a 2012 strat this time last year, which has the fat 50s, and as soon as I tried it at a gig i knew something wasnt right, no strat tone came through on the neck pickup as soon as you put some overdrive with it, it sounds harsh and farty. The middle and bridge do sound ok, but for my tone these pickups aint good, I play lots of john mayer and blues and they dont suit it. So now i've got to shell out another 200 quid on changing them, its been in its case since i bought it, I've been using my classic player and my korean Squier which blows every strat i've ever tried out the water.

Post subject: After Action Report - Gorn BC Vs Kzinti CF
This battle was between a Gorn BC flown by my friend Pete, and a Kzinti fast battlecruiser flown by myself. I didn't feel much like flying the Romulans and so I picked a Kzinti ship similar in points value the the Gorn - a choice between the fast battlecruiser and the new command cruiser - no contest in this case, the fast battlecruiser has much better disruptor arcs which would be far superior for oblique approach tactics in order to dodge the plasma. It also has slightly more power and better Ph-3s. We played on a location map, with nine map panels using the large hexes. Two of these panels were gas giant map panels, but were used as regular panels, ignoring the gas giants.
On turn 1, the Gorn chose baseline speed 8 and the Kzinti chose speed 24. The two ships closed to range 6 by the end of the turn and exchanged fire, the Kzinti firing 2 overloaded disruptors and 6 Ph-1s for 12 damage plus a burn-through hit on the Gorn's #2 shield. The Gorn returned fire with four Ph-1s, scoring only 5 damage due to bad dice, all of which were re-enforced by the Kzinti. The Kzinti launched 4 drones at the end of the turn, and the Gorn repaired the burn-through hit. The position at the end of Turn #1:
On turn 2, the Kzinti again selected base speed 24, the Gorn selecting 16 and finishing the plasma arming to G-torpedo standard. The Kzintis turned to close the range obliquely, with the Gorn off the #3 shield. An exchange of fire followed with disruptors and phasers from the Kzinti, and phasers and a 5-point plasma carronade from the Gorn, all at range 3. The Kzinti downed the Gorn's #2 shield and scored 8 internals, while the Kzinti's #3 shield took 19 points of damage and a single burn-through point. The Kzintis fired another wave of 4 drones at the Gorn. The Gorn then fired a Pl-S (upgraded from the Pl-G at the moment of firing), and the Kzintis turned away and accelerated to outrun the torpedo. The Gorn shot down 3 of the 6 drones with phasers, caught 2 on tractor beams, and had 1 drone hit the #4 shield. Pictures after the launch of plasma and drones:
On turn 3, the Kzintis turned back to close the range once again, having outrun and phasered the Pl-S down completely. The Kzinti fired both disruptors (1 overload, 1 normal) and 4 Ph-1s, downing the Gorn's #1 shield and scoring 8 internals, and the Gorn's return-fire caused 23 damage with 1 burn point on the Kzinti ship. The Kzinti ship then turned away once again in anticipation of a plasma launch:
The Gorn took up pursuit of the Kzinti, and on impulse 8 fired a Pl-S and a Pl-F as bolts, and two Ph-1s at range 6. Both bolts missed, and the phasers hit for 3 damage after re-enforcement. This was very unlucky die-rolling and may well have cost the Gorn the game, as the plasma tubes were now empty and the bolts scored no damage to the Kzinti ship. The Kzintis took the opportunity to launch another wave of 4 drones at the end of impulse 8:
On turn 4, both ships set baseline speed 16, the Kzinti slowing down to turn better - the Gorn had no heavy plasma ready in this turn and so speed 24 wasn't necessary. The Kzinti turned around and closed the range with the Gorn, who turned away. The Kzinti launched two more drones, and formed them into a stack of 6 drones:
On impulse 6, the Gorn was hit by the drone stack, and used all bearing phasers to destroy the drones. The Kzinti had by now closed to range 2, and had the Gorn centre-lined - the Gorn couldn't avoid this because he was pre-occupied getting phasers to bear on the incoming drone wave. The Kzinti unloaded a full alpha-strike with 2 overloaded disruptors, 6 Ph-1s and 4 Ph-3s, for a total of 52 damage, leaving 30 internal hits after re-enforcement. The Gorn could only return fire with a 3-point plasma carronade and a single Ph-1, which scored 9 shield damage and a burn-through to the Kzinti. The damage rolls were 6, 2 and 1, so the Gorn lost little by way of hull (all centre hull was still intact) but lost several weapons, some power and a good deal of system hits. On impulse 8, the Kzinti was able to accelerate, gaining the initiative and allowing him to get onto the Gorn's #1 shield at range 1, firing 2 Ph-3s and scoring 5 more internals:
On turn 5, the Gorn would have a plasma-S to fire on the right hand side launcher. At this point, the Kzinti was directly in front of the Gorn at range 1, and both were very near the edge of the map. The Gorn hoped to escape off the edge of the map to avoid a total defeat, while the Kzinis were hoping to make a capture if at all possible. The Kzinti and Gorn both chose baseline speed 8, and the Kzinti accelerated and over-ran the Gorn to get out of plasma arc but still be close enough to cause enough damage to prevent the Gorn escaping, then conducted a HET to get onto the Gorn's #5 shield at range 0. At this point, the Kzinti fired 2 overloaded disruptors, 4 Ph-3s and 2 Ph-1s for 28 more internals, in which the Gorn lost all remaining hull and most system hits (just a few shuttle bays left), several power hits, all control boxes except one Emergency Bridge, and all remaining weapons except the two Pl-S launchers. As the Kzintis in this position, I had chosen not to fire the remaining 4 Ph-1s in case this destroyed the Gorn, which was not the objective I had in mind. The Gorn return fire battered the Kzinti forward shield, but didn't quite get through. The Kzinti then caught the Gorn ship in a tractor beam to prevent his escape. At this point, there was nothing further that the Gorn could have done, so we called the game. A picture of the Gorn ship card at the end of the game was taken for good measure:
(I notice that for some reason the probe launcher seems intact on this picture. It was definately destroyed at some point - this was a memorable occasion since this is the first time either of us had seen a probe launcher actually take a hit!)
This was an enjoyable game, though probably one of those where bad die-rolls decide the game. I think that it was a mistake on the part of the Gorn to fire both the Pl-F and the Pl-S as a bolt, as it left them with no full plasma torpedoes to fire at me in the next turn, allowing me to close the range for what ended up as a fatal blow. This move was a gamble that did not pay off - had one or both of the bolts hit, they probably would have caused some decent damage to the Kzinti, which would have evened things out somewhat. The Gorn may have the advantage in phaser fire-power, but the Kzinti can really tie these up using drones, negating this superiority. This battle also demonstrated the value of the plasma carronade. They can fire every turn, and cannot miss, and aren't even too inefficient in generating damage if you just fire with a couple of points of power. These weapons add a significant close range direct-fire punch to the Gorn's phaser array.
So, observations and lessons learned: I found the Gorn BC to be a tough ship, absorbing a lot of damage before the fight could really be called decided. The Gorn BC has excellent all-round phaser coverage, which is useful given the relatively poor turn-mode of the ship and can be handy when defending against incoming drones without having to re-arrange your plans too much to bring all phasers to bear - that is, until the drones start to pile up, anyway. However, it does mean that it isn't possible to bring more than 5 Ph-1s to bear on the enemy at any one time (and more often this number is only 4 Ph-1s). This can be a problem when the enemy is dipping into effective phaser range for a single impulse only, unloading everything he has at you, and then turning tail and getting out of your effective range before you can give as good as you got.
The Kzinti fast battlecruiser is lacking in alpha-strike fire-power as it has only two disruptors, but makes up for this by doing "what it says on the tin", and being fast - a big asset when fighting plasma ships. This ship handles in a similar way to the Kzinti battlecruiser, which is one of my favourite cruisers. I'd recommend this ship as a duelling ship for those higher point value cruiser duels, such as with plasma ships - it may not have the raw firepower of your command cruisers, but it does have finesse and is great fun to fly. What it lacks in alpha-strike punch it makes up for with speed and phaser fire-power, giving it a very nice power curve. It also has good weapon arcs that allow you to approach with a good amount of weapons to bear while facing different shields to the enemy each time.
The game ended with the honourable surrender of the Gorn ship. Using the points system for calculating victory level, this was a tactical victory to the Kzintis if you count this as a capture of the Gorn, or a marginal victory if you just count the Gorn as destroyed. This way of calculating victory points seems to make it very difficult to get a full victory, since the Kzinti ship finished the game with only 3 internals - all from burn-through hits - yet the Gorn ship was captured or at worst (for the Kzintis) destroyed, and this amounts only to a tactical victory at best. Anyway, the game was fun to play, and interesting because both players had ships which they had not flown before.

, then?
Looks like you flew rings round him, literally. I didn't know a Kzinti at speed 24 could turn like that.
Well done for not demoralising him too much.... The main thing is that you both enjoyed the game. The difference, apart from the total damage and dice rolls, of course, appears to be that you managed to spread
penetrating damage across all your shields whereas he had three shields down. That's probably your experience showing, though.
Anyway, nice report and thanks for sharing it with us

The Kzinti actually turns the same as the Gorn at speed 24, but has a better turn mode so gets the initiative where there is a tie. The turn mode of 5 at base speed 24 meant that I had to start the oblique approach a while (5 hexes) before I intended to turn away from the plasma, and judge it such that I was able to turn again when I could fire and he could launch plasm, and this requires forward planning and (to an extent) made my moves predictable. However, as the Kzintis, it is possible to use drones to reduce the Gorn's ability to react to this.
As you say, my overall damage spread was fairly good - most shields almost down but no real internal damage. As I observed in the report, that would have been different if those plasma bolts had hit, but that's how it goes. I managed to get into a position where I could score enough damage to knock down a shield and do minor internals a couple of times, and then I could go for one of those shields the at my next opportunity. The Gorn's phasers being spread out as they are meant that if the Gorn hoped to damage me with phasers, he had to turn and that meant that at some point he had to put himself in a position where I could potentially get onto a bad shield.
Overall, the game was one of those things where the enemy just made one mistake/had one piece of bad luck (this being firing the bolts, which was arguably a mistake - it was a gamble that didn't pay off) and that pretty much cost him the game because I closed the range, hammered him and stayed close and out of his plasma arcs - there wasn't a lot the Gorn could do after this, especially with all those drones inbound on him! Another lesson leanred in this game is that Ph-1s are actually worth it at range 5 or so - most of the damage done in the whole game was done by Ph-1s, and then mostly at medium range. The important thing is we both enjoyed and learned from the game.

I'm surprised the Gorn didn't move at a faster speed to close and get better shots with the plasma or go for a tractor anchor and then feed the Kzin 100 pts of flaming death.
The Gorn are not really set up to take on the drone races especially if they're coming in one big stack. If they're spread out they've got enough P-1 and tractors to take out a reasonable size stack.

As for the tractor anchor, I didn't get close enough to him to risk that, at least until he had no tractor beams left and/or not enough engine power to be able to anchor me properly if he repaired one to do the anchor. However, in a discussion of tactics during the game (we tend to discuss things more freely during game as we'd rather learn from the game than nexessarily win in most cases) I did suggest this idea, but I think perhaps at this point he had already had enough engine damage that he couldn't get close enough to me and still have the power to win a tractor auction.
I think you're right that the Gorn probably should have gone slightly faster, closed the range and tried for some close-range bolts if I was moving away from him and close-range launches if I was moving towards. The trouble is the plasmas are fairly power hungry (sepecially in the final arming turn) and I think he wanted to have enough energy to fire phasers and keep the drones away with tractor beams when the phasers couldn't get them all. Well, he'll know for next time - this was the Gorn player's first time as the Gorn, and to be fair the Kzintis are probably particularly hard to take down as a Gorn in a duelling sort of situation, due to the drone threat.

Since his wedding to Maryse Ouellet is taking place later on this month, there is a very good chance that the current story line for the Miz is a way to write him off of television. Though he hasn't been penciled in for a match at Wrestlemania 30 yet, he's expected to return by then.
Miz and Maryse Ouellet are really trying to build a life together. Aside from getting married in the Bahamas in February, the couple also has been looking for a house to purchase. Since Miz has been on the road with WWE, his fiancee has been in charge of finding them a new home.
When WWE previously asked her about a return to the company, Maryse Ouellet turned them down, as she was busy working on some projects and preparing for her wedding with the Miz. The belief, though, is that the company will try to offer her a contract again after the wedding in February.
Since the two of them have traveled all over the world for WWE, Miz and Maryse wanted an exotic location for their upcoming wedding. It has now been revealed that the couple has chosen the Bahamas as the place to share their vows next month.
Maryse Ouellet held the WWE Divas Championship for 216 days straight, but she is about to be surpassed on that list by AJ Lee, who has now held the belt for 212 days straight. No word yet on whether or not WWE will make a big storyline out of that.
Former WWE diva Maryse recently posted a picture on Twitter of herself getting ready for a date with the Miz, her fiancee.
Maryse and Kelly Kelly met up recently at a convention in Pittsburgh, where the two former WWE divas goofed around for a picture to post on Twitter.
"You would like that wouldn't you. I think a lot of people would really, really like that and would love to see Maryse back. But right now she's busy dealing with our wedding stuff because she's the one that has to do it all since I'm not home. "
Dolph Ziggler, Maryse Ouellet, Miz, John Morrison and several other people partied together on Halloween.

Alanon is not Alcoholics Anonymous. Alanon is a loose organization of support groups for those who have close personal relationships with alcoholics, people who may or may not be alcoholics themselves.
Question: why do Alanons close their eyes during sex? Answer: they can't stand to see an alcoholic having a good time.

Readers of Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's bestselling book Half the Sky might recognize the name Goretti Nyabenda: she was profiled in the book as an example of an empowered woman who was able to transform her status in her community, her economic situation, and her relationship with her husband after joining a CARE village savings and loan group in which she pooled her savings and took out a loan from the savings group to start her own business. At the 2010 National CARE conference in Washington, D.C., Goretti was the recipient of the "I am Powerful Award," which honors a woman who has worked with CARE programs to change her own life and the life of her family and community. IMOW's Vice President of Programs and Exhibitions Catherine King spoke with Goretti about what she has learned from microfinance.

About "Freebird"
Purchased the firebird in 1980 for $5895.00 with 13,926 for mileage and I'm the second owner. Since owning the bird i put on a dual exhaust system, custom wheels, and dark limo-tint on the windows; looking to change the custom rims over to the TA-honey comb rims in the future along with a new paint job. The bird has placed two 2nd and three 3rd over the years that i have showed the car.

Blanc Bleu TambourDon't be fooled by the name. The bleu here refers to the mold that grows on the rind. The paste itself is a sparkling white, and the raw goats milk imparts a clean, but complex flavor. Pair with a crisp Chablis. Read More

Consider Bardwell Farm
DorsetPlump as a Dorset milkmaid, but New England style: toothsome, pungent and easy to enjoy, ideally with porter. Read More

Challenging Roar
Challenging Shout
Mocking Blow
Hand of Reckoning
Righteous Defense causes Debuff Righteous Defense (I believe)
Death Knight
Dark Command
Death Grip causes Debuff Death Grip (I believe)
Distracting Shot
Hunter Pet
All taunt type mechanics have a debuff with the same spell id and name except for Death Grip and Righteous Defense. I believe the links I provided for them above are correct however. Because these abilities activate complex server side scripting (the movement of Death Grip and the deriving of targets of Righteous Defense) the debuff portion of the ability is separate from the ability itself. All other taunts since they directly act on the unit effected on them are the same as the debuff they apply. If you reference them by their name it doesn't matter, if you reference them by spell id however you will have to account for the difference in those two cases.

WASHINGTON - Blame society, the media or just the company we keep, but there are plenty of overused phrases in the English language.
And scholars at Oxford University have helped identify the top 10 most overused and useless of them all.
The brains at Oxford monitor current language patterns in the Oxford English Corpus, a database made up of magazines, newspapers, books and Internet publications, the Encyclopedia Britannica's blog reports. The database holds some 2 billion words, making it the largest linguistic English database.
The overused phrases appear in a book called "Damp Squid," The Telegraph reports. Check it out below.
Most overused and useless English phrases
- At the end of the day
- Fairly unique
- I, personally
- At this moment in time
- With all due respect
- Absolutely
- It's a nightmare
- Shouldn't of (for shouldn't have)
- 24/7
- It's not rocket science
