Barum Brillantis
Barum Brillantis Tyres – The High Mileage Summer Tyres from Barum
The Barum Brillantis tyres are high mileage summer tyres from Barum Tyres. Czech Republic based Barum Tyres is the 'economical' tyre manufacturing arm of Continental Tyres.
The Barum Brillantis tyres are suitable for small to medium passenger cars and bring immense value-for-money to your everyday driving experience.
The other summer product from Barum – the Barum Bravuris tyres are suitable for larger and higher performance vehicles.
Barum Brillantis Tyres - Performance
The Barum Brillantis tyres perform well on a variety of crucial parameters such as wet performance and traction and exhibit prolonged tyre life, obviating the need for frequent costly tyre replacements.
Barum Brillantis Tyres – Design That Enables Performance
The Barum Brillantis tyres incorporate a 'flat belt contour' into the tread, which enhances the tread stiffness. Also on the tyre shoulder are present sturdy lugs. These two factors reinforce the tread, making it more resistant to uneven wear, contributing to a longer tyre life.
The multiple lug edges in the tread pattern and the tread rigidity (due to the flat belt contour) combine to produce more accurate transmission of power to the tyres during acceleration and braking. This improves traction offered by the Barum Brillantis tyres, enhancing safety on all surfaces and at all speeds.
Additionally, handling characteristics improve, giving greater control and thus confidence particularly during cornering on wet and dry.
The Barum Brillantis tyres exhibit central circumferential grooves and grooves on the inner shoulders. Lateral sipes are present in between the tread blocks.
Together the grooves and the sipes ensure effective water displacement both laterally and circumferentially.
The Barum Brillantis tyres thus offer a 'double' water channelling system and provide exceptional safety on wet surfaces by greatly reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
The sipes on the tread and the angular placement of the lugs are optimised to reduce tyre noise. So you can enjoy a quiet and peaceful ride at all times.
This impressive performance of the Barum Brillantis tyres would be quite pointless, if they were available in limited sizes. Barum has made sure that the tyres are available in a wide range of sizes for fitment on 13-15 inch alloys, ensuring that tyres are suitable for most small and medium passenger cars.

Avon Ice Touring
Avon Ice Touring Tyres – Ensuring Safety in Winter
Avon Ice Touring tyres are premium winter tyres from Avon Tyres that offer superior performance in extreme winter conditions.
Driving in winter becomes all the more challenging due to slippery ice, slush and snow on the roads. It is always recommended that you switch to winter tyres during the season as they are better equipped to deal with such conditions.
The Avon Ice Touring tyres are particularly well known for their traction and superior road holding on snow and icy surfaces.
The Avon Ice touring tyres have been developed specifically for passenger cars and incorporate a variety of patented Avon technologies to deliver the best performance. The tyres are available in a broad range of sizes to fit a variety of cars. Avon Ice Touring XL tyres are also available for reinforced load applications.
Let us now look at some of the features of the Avon Ice Touring tyres.
The Avon Ice Touring tyres offer excellent traction on all winter surface conditions such as snow, slush, mud and ice, keeping you on the road and safe throughout the winter, irrespective of its severity.
Avon has incorporated a special high-concentration silica tread compound into the tyre construction, which improves traction.
Road Holding
Regular rubber compounds freeze over at low temperatures, making the tyres stiff and less responsive to steering control. The special silica compounds used in the Avon Ice Touring tyres are more resistant to low temperatures and retain their flexibility.
As a result road holding and handling characteristics are greatly improved with the Avon Ice Touring tyres, enhancing driver confidence and comfort levels significantly.
The Avon Ice Touring tyres offer excellent braking response on slippery snow and icy surfaces.
The tread pattern comprises a single circumferential groove with serrated edges on both sides to maximise traction, which in turns improves braking responsiveness. This particular groove pattern is proprietary to Avon and is called Avon's 'Snow Groove'.
The tread blocks remain flexible and are equipped with sipes that not only provide better traction, but are also helpful in keeping the under tread clear of snow. Because of this, braking distances are greatly reduced, which is an important safety factor while driving in winter.
The Avon Ice Touring tyres are marked with the 'Severe Snow Conditions' symbol, indicating they are suitable for use under the most severe winter surface conditions.

Continental Eco Contact 3 M0
Continental Premium Contact 2 E
Continental PremiumContact2 E Tyres – EU Approved Tyres for Maximum Safety
The Continental PremiumContact2 E tyres are EU approved tyres from Continental Tyres Premium Contact range for medium to premium luxury cars. Since 1997, it is compulsory for tyres sold in the European Union to carry the 'E' marking.
The 'E' mark indicates that the Continental PremiumContact2 E tyres comply with the dimensional, marking and performance requirements of the ECE Regulation 30. The 'E' is followed by a number and the two are present within a rectangle to complete the marking. The number within the rectangle indicates the code number of the European country granting the approval. Britain is identified by number 11.
Other than the Continental PremiumContact2 E tyres, the Continental Premium Contact range comprises popular tyres such as the Continental PremiumContact5 tyres using an OE on several popular cars.
Continental PremiumContact2 E Tyres – USP
The USP of the Continental PremiumContact2 E tyres is its ability to ensure maximum safety on all surfaces by reducing braking distances on wet and dry and decreasing the risk of aquaplaning on wet.
How Do the Continental PremiumContact2 E Tyres Ensure Maximum Safety?
The main reason for this is the unique 3D groove design on the Continental PremiumContact2 E tyre tread. The 3D design incorporates a steep to shallow gradient in the tread grooves from the inner to the outer tyre shoulder.
The shallow grooves maximise grip and contact area on dry roads, enhancing braking responsiveness and safety.
While traversing on wet surfaces, this role is played by the steep side grooves that are deeply angled. These grooves cut sharply through the surface water to enhance the contact patch and reduce stopping distances significantly when brakes are applied.
The 3D grooves are also associated with reducing the risk of aquaplaning on wet surface.
When there is much water on roads, there are chances that you may lose control due to aquaplaning because the contact patch between the rubber and surface is reduced due to the water. The effect of the 3D grooves in deflecting water from wet surface results in significant reduction in the risk of aquaplaning, keeping you safe from skidding.
Increased Steering Responsiveness of the Continental PremiumContact2 E Tyres
The Continental PremiumContact2 E tyres sport an asymmetric tread design which contributes to increased steering responsiveness. The asymmetric tread pattern exhibits large compact tread blocks on the outer tyre shoulder, which stabilise the tread and transmit steering forces more effectively to the road. As a result handling is vastly improved and you retain maximum control on the car at all times.
Features and Benefits of Continental PremiumContact2 E Tyres
Asymmetrical tyres have a different tread pattern on each side of the tyre and in most cases have 'inner' and 'outer' markings on the sidewalls of the tyres. This allows different tread patterns with differing characteristics to be combined in one tyre for excellent dry and wet weather performance.
Yokohama AC02 CDRIVE 2 XL
Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 XL Tyres – Greater Safety for Greater Loads
When your day to day driving involves carrying heavy loads, you need adequate support from your tyres. Load reinforced tyres that can be inflated to higher pressure levels than the standard tyres are best suited for this purpose. And when you want to add greater reassurance on wet surface, more than satisfactory handling and exceptional comfort, look no further than the Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 XL tyres.
Manufactured by Yokohama Tyres, these tyres meet all your needs perfectly.
Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 XL Tyres – General Features
As compared to the standard Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 tyres, the Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 XL tyres have a stiffer side wall construction. Thus for the same size, the XL tyres can withstand higher air pressure and therefore are able to support heavier loads than the standard tyres. While this is the standard feature of all XL tyres, what makes the Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 XL tyres unique is the incorporation of orange oil technology.
Orange Oil Technology – the Game Changer for the Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 XL Tyres
Tyre development is a complicated function and often involves trade-offs between different aspects, depending on the intended functionality of the tyres. For instance, for demanding drivers of performance cars, handling is very important, but handling performance comes at the cost of quicker tyre wear. Likewise, attempts to reduce the rolling resistance of tyres in order to improve fuel efficiency are accompanied by the reduction in wet grip properties. However Yokohama engineers have been able to overcome this problem with the breakthrough orange oil technology.
Due to this technology, the Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 XL tyres exhibit unparalleled grip and safety on wet surface and offer increased fuel efficiency that cuts down your fuel bills.
Experience Greater Stability and Comfort with the Yokohama AC02 CDrive2 XL Tyres

Goodyear Efficientgrip XL
Goodyear EfficientGrip XL Tyres – Bringing Increased Fuel Efficiency for Heavy Load Applications
The fuel efficiency of any vehicle amongst others things depends on the weight of the vehicle. Weight refers to the weight of the vehicle itself as well as the load that it carries.
If you are regularly using your car for heavy load applications, it will tend to consume more fuel, which of course has a detrimental effect on the pocket. In such situations one of the best choices for you are the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL tyres, because they bring a higher degree of fuel efficiency specifically for enhanced load applications.
The Goodyear EfficientGrip Tyres Legacy
The Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres from Goodyear Tyres are specific passenger car tyres built around the premise that fuel efficiency can be achieved without comprising on safety, comfort and performance. Goodyear Tyres has extended the EfficientGrip legacy across an entire range of tyres including the Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV tyres that cater to SUVs and 4x4s and the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL tyres that bring the same benefits for heavier cars and regular cars with constant load intensive usage.
If you have to use your car regularly to ferry heavy loads (people or cargo), you just have to. With the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL tyres, at least your fuel costs will be under control.
What Makes the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL Tyres Special?
While they deliver performance on several parameters identical to the standard Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres, the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL tyres are special in that they have an excessively reinforced sidewall construction. The robust sidewall enables inflation to higher pressure levels and therefore the tyres are able to support heavier loads.
And fortified with the innovative technologies present in their standard counterparts, the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL tyres are able to deliver fuel efficiency while simultaneously supporting heavy loads.
Fuel Efficiency of the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL Tyres
The tread compound used in Goodyear EfficientGrip XL tyres (as in the standard tyres) contains greater proportion of silica, which reduces friction between carbon molecules, reducing the rolling resistance. Tyres with high rolling resistance need more fuel to overcome this resistance, resulting in reduced fuel efficiency. Thus with the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL tyres, reduced rolling resistance leads to more economic fuel utilisation.
Goodyear EfficientGrip XL Tyres – Performance
The Goodyear EfficientGrip XL tyres offer best-in-class wet performance with maximum traction and steering responsiveness on wet surface. The tyres are also associated with precision steering on dry roads and enhanced cornering stability. The GoodyearEfficientGrip XL tyres are long lasting and provide a quiet and comfortable drive.
Features and Benefits of the Goodyear EfficientGrip XL Tyres
Bridgestone EP001S
The Bridgestone T001 tyres are touring tyres from Bridgestone Tyres that deliver the best of various elements to make driving a true pleasure.
The Bridgestone T001 tyres bring forth the most optimal combination of performance, safety, comfort and efficiency for passenger cars ranging from compact cars to premium saloons.
The tyres launched in the early half of 2012 belong to Bridgestone's premium Turanza range and are being considered as a gradual replacement for the current (soon to be ex) star of the range – the Bridgestone ER300 tyres.
The unique tread pattern of the Bridgestone T001 tyres incorporates an asymmetric multi-rib design that exhibits wide grooves. These grooves act as efficient water evacuation channels to provide high resistance to aquaplaning. This improves traction and grip and wet surface and causes up to 3% reduction in the wet stopping distance over the Bridgestone ER300 tyres.
Bridgestone's famed R&D team has developed all new high-silica component tread compound for the Bridgestone T001 tyres, which is associated with greater safety and handling. The new tread compound imparts greater stiffness both laterally and longitudinally to the tyre, improving handling and enhancing the braking responsiveness.
The Bridgestone T001 tyre's carcass shape and structure is optimised for reducing the tyre noise levels. Special noise reduction grooves are incorporated into the tread pattern, making the tyre compliant with the future 2016 noise level legislation.
The Bridgestone T001 tyres use Bridgestone's innovative Nano Pro-Tec technology that reduces rolling resistance and enhances fuel economy in the process. This is no random claim and is substantiated with figures. Compared to the earlier generation Turanza tyres, the Bridgestone T001 tyres offer 2.3% greater fuel efficiency.
The Bridgestone T001 tyres have a more flat profile, which increases the contact area between the surface and the tread. So there is more uniform pressure distribution that reduces uneven tread wear. This contributes to tyre longevity.
The Bridgestone T001 tyres are available in a wide range of sizes for fitment on 15-18 inch alloys. Currently about 40 sizes are available and these are slated to increase next year. And rightly so if the company intends to replace the Bridgestone ER300 tyres with these tyres.

Asian-themed hotel proposed in Manchester awaits Act 250August 22,2013By Patrick McArdle
MANCHESTER — About a year after the project got its local permits, the local Act 250 commissioners announced they would host a hearing Sept. 25 on a proposed 80-room hotel with an Asian theme that would be located off of Route 7A.
The project has been described by the applicants, Alpaslan Basdogan and Vermont Turquoise Hospitality, LLC, as a 74,000-square-foot building with a 160-seat restaurant and a spa on about 44 acres of land across the street from Manchester's town offices.
Basdogan owns international wholesale company Asia Minor Carpets, which has its corporate office in Manchester. On Thursday, he referred questions about the application to project manager, Richard Jones.
Jones said he and Basdogan are optimistic the state will approve the proposal.
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have spent 90-odd thousand dollars on it up to this point," he said.
At this point, Jones said the applicant wanted to continue with the process in hopes of getting Act 250 approval and then "see what develops."
The Manchester Development Review Board approved the proposal in August 2012 but the permit issued by the town was appealed a short time later by Carol duPont, of Manchester.
In her appeal, duPont said the town should not have issued a permit because the hotel "is not 'in accord with the policies, purposes or terms of the (town) plan or bylaws of (Manchester).'"
On Thursday, duPont said she didn't want to comment on the Act 250 hearing except to say she was looking forward to attending to find out if there were any changes to the proposal since it had come before the town.
The appeal is still pending before the Vermont Environmental Court. A clerk at the court said Thursday the appeal would not be heard until the Act 250 process is complete.
It's a common practice in Vermont for the Environmental Court to wait until both local and state permits are issued so any appeals can be consolidated and heard at the same time.
Jones said he knew the proposed hotel had a lot of supporters in Manchester but said he also knew that there were a lot of local people who wanted to at least have a say in the project. He said the applicant was committed to the project.
"We know that appeals scare some people off. I assure you, we're not scared off. We're eager to move forward with this project," he said.
In a plan Basdogan submitted to the town, he said the hotel was specifically designed to offer an experience that is common to hotels in Europe and the Mediterranean. By bringing that kind of hotel to the town and Vermont, Basdogan said he hopes to attract Europeans and other new visitors to Manchester.
If approved, the hotel would be built on what is now a largely empty parcel of land known locally as the former Hosley farm.
Other features proposed for the hotel include an outdoor pool and an organic farm on-site, which would grow food used by the restaurant.
The Act 250 commissioners will visit the site at 9 a.m. on Sept. 25. The hearing will begin, at 9:30 a.m. at Manchester's town offices.

'Last Comic Standing' finalist to take Trinity MCC stage
Date: September 2, 2009
by: Michael Eng | Executive Editor
Comedian Michele Balan can't remember if she's ever performed in the Sarasota/Bradenton area before.
In fact, she hardly can remember where she was two weeks ago.
"I'm all over the place, and I can't keep up," Balan said. "I just take it one week at a time."
But that's good, right?
"Oh yeah, I gotta stop complaining," Balan said. "Or maybe I should just complain quietly to myself."
However, although she doesn't know if she's ever graced any stages in the area, she definitely won't forger her upcoming performance Sept. 12 at Church of the Trinity MCC in the East County. One of the women responsible for launching Balan's stand-up career, a former club owner named Sally Sweets, will be in the audience.
"Sally now lives in Florida, and she's coming to the show," Balan said. "In the 1980s, she used to run a club called Sweet Sensations in Brooklyn. I used to do Bette Midler imitations there. That's where I got my stage experience."
In addition to her performance, which begins at 7:30 p.m., attendees also have the opportunity to meet Balan during a pre-show barbecue that begins at 5:30 p.m. Tickets for the barbecue and show are $40 in advance and $50 at the door. Tickets for the show alone are $20 in advance and $30 at the door.
Balan's road to the comedy stage is different than most. The Brooklyn native broke into the scene after abandoning a lucrative executive career at a computer company in the 1980s.
"People always told me I was funny, and one day, someone said, 'You're so funny that you should do comedy,'" Balan said.
Balan's original shtick was as a "female female-impersonator," during which she cultivated her lip-synced impression of Bette Midler. From there, she developed her act into a performance highlighted by one-liners. Throughout her career, Balan has performed at some of comedy's most prestigious venues, including The Improv in Los Angeles and Caroline's on Broadway in New York. She has shared the stage with numerous performers, including Kathy Najimy, Jennifer Holiday, Taylor Dayne, Harvey Fierstein, Bruce Vilanch and Nell Carter.
In 2004, Backstage Magazine named Balan in its list of "Top 10 Comics." Two years later, Balan landed a spot on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" and lasted through to the top four.
"I'm glad I did it," Balan said of the realty show. "It was crazy, reality TV … but the exposure was worth every minute of it. It changed my career."
Today, Balan crisscrosses the country, performing everywhere from comedy clubs and cruise shops to conventions and country clubs. She also performs for a wide variety of audiences.
"I do lesbian audiences, straight audiences, gay audiences," Balan said. "I'm bi-comical."
And although her upcoming East County performance isn't exactly family friendly, Balan said any adults looking for a fun night out won't be disappointed.
"I think in this recession, people want to laugh," Balan said. "Everybody who comes out will have a good time. And if not, I'll leave out the back door."

Squandering Aimlessly: My Adventures in the American Marketplace
By David Brancaccio
"Squander: to spend or use something precious in a wasteful way. Squandering ranks even below 'leaving it in a passbook savings account' on the list of the greatest personal finance sins of our age, according to Brancaccio, who hit the road to determine the right answer to the question of what to do with money. Brancaccio gets this question from Marketplace listeners all the time: What does one do with a lump sum, perhaps the proceeds from some stock options, the profit on the sale of a house, an inheritance, a bonus, a settlement, or even a modest accumulation in a savings account?"

"Yes, Sir"

This past weekend I was lucky enough to DJ a beautiful wedding at The Yale Club in New York City. We were in their "Grand Ballroom" on the 20th floor. As you can see from the photo, the room was gorgeous. We were on a high floor right next to Grand Central Station in Midtown Manhattan. City views from every window.
I had so much fun DJing this party. Great crowd – they loved the music – and a really great couple.
If you didn't know (you better ask somebody) – I'm still the resident Friday DJ at The Woods in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I pick a different DJ to come spin with me every week and it's been amazing.
Here's a security camera photo from last Friday –
