First ! um is it up on the donor part? or going on the youtube first?
Vehicle Usage
4 Choppers
4 Siege Engines
3 Demolishers w/ Turret Teams
2 Demolishers on pure DPS (have best geared players as drivers)
Put your worst geared players into either the Siege Engine gunner positions or the gunner positions on the 2 pure DPS Demolishers.
Turret Team Addendum
In the video, I mentioned canceling parachutes or blinking out of them. When an Overload hits, you can also forcibly eject yourself from Flame Leviathan for quicker access to vehicles. This is what we do with our hybrid DPS/Healers.
Tower Notes
I had to cut this from the script due to the time constraint of the video. Enjoy!
The Thorim tower locks out a section of the room with a series of enormous damage lightning beams that leave a DOT on anything they hit. When maneuvering around these beams, understand that older beams will fire before newer ones, and they will follow a pattern across the room. This makes it easy to back up or move forward into a brand new one to avoid one that's been up for several seconds.
The Hodir tower creates beams that follow unique targets and lock onto them before firing down a massive ice shard which creates a block of ice around nearby vehicles. With these beams, it's important to understand that so long as you are moving directly forward or directly backward the moment they lock onto you, you will never be hit by them. Attempting to turn or maneuver or taking too long to start moving will allow you to be ice blocked. For clarification -- there is no situation under which a player is not able to avoid an ice block if they are moving directly out of the area when a beam stops on them.
While a player can be broken out of their ice block, having two or three people hit by an ice block during an encounter is a virtual death wish, as the damage taken from AOE damage during the Flame Leviathan encounter will likely finish those vehicles off.
The Mimiron tower creates a flame barrier across diagonal portions of the room. If a player drives into this flame barrier they will take a massive damage DOT. For the purposes of the Flame Leviathan encounter, Demolishers or Siege Engines currently being pursued should never go into an area where they could potentially be cut off by a flame barrier, as other vehicles will not be able to drive through it to keep interrupts on Flame Leviathan.
The final tower is Freya, which spawns sets of large and small lashers from each of the corners. These lashers will be killed extremely quickly if they go over burning tar, so the strategy for dealing with them will generally deal with Choppers. It's important to note that Siege Engine and Demolisher gunners do not build aggro on these targets if they fire on them or the tar during the encounter; however, Siege Engine and Demolisher drivers can cause them to attack the vehicle if they attack, so it's generally best to avoid doing this.
To combat Freya's adds, we have Choppers put down tar as often as their cooldown permits, anywhere around Flame Leviathan or the center of the room. By covering a large portion of the ground with flaming tar, Lasher adds are very likely to light themselves on fire regardless of who they aggro on initially. Additionally, Choppers who are between pickups can use a quick Sonic Horn on lasher packs to get aggro and, if they're careful, can get away without being hit and drag them over the tar.

Too slow Zakaa :P
Love the vids, thanks for this.
I'm just curious what kind of setup you guys use for 10 man and if you can give a quick break-down on how'd you'd adjust for a 10 man strategy.
After the first 2 are thrown for the first overload would you then go to one being thrown? Any other tips for 10 man? Thanks
I suppose that on 10 man you can/should use 1 demolisher as pure dps, and second to overload, and sacrafice one of choppers in favor of rotation presented in this video: 1 dps as demolisher gunner, 1 dps in chopper waiting for gunner to be thrown.
is the movie down? it seems to not want to play for me on youtube
you say to have your best geared people driving Demoloshers... is that cause the better geared people put out more damage?
Try it a few times with people positioned by itemlevel, but if someone sucks at the vehicle that this puts them in, switch it up! Some people are really bad at driving, other people (like me) are really bad at gunning, some people can't avoid walls of fire while keeping a 10 stack of pyrite up on the boss. All the ilevel in the world is still going to do bad damage if the player in question can't manage the core mechanic of the vehicle.
I too would appreciate some clarification on how you would adapt this for 10 man (Namely the vehicle setup).
Honestly I can't say too much on the 10-man encounter. I have spent very little time in 10-mans. I know there are a few things you can't stack the same way -- for instance, choppers probably can't stack tar everywhere and hope the lashers all get killed by it, simply due to the tar cooldown and the limited number of choppers. That said, this really warrants a reply from someone other than me.
Hey Ciderhelm, what is the addon that you're using to keep track of your pyrite stacks/timer?
uhhh, just in case you dont realize dieshan, already-in-game build UI shows pyrite stacks, and time left on debuffs is shown just like cooldowns, your stack is shown as first one(and it has minimally bigger icon). I honestly use about 5 addons total, and none of them is UI mod, and i never had problems with doing anything i was asked on raids.
Hi i was just wondering who would be good to throw up onto the boss, would you be able to throw up hybrids or is it better to have 2 ranged dps and a healer set up? Is there any point in throwing up melee or is that just way outta the question?
Sorry and finally I heard that the hard mode loot drops off of 3 towers and 4 towers, cos if so i can really only see my guild doing orbituary for the meta achievement "heroic: glory of the ulduar raider"
In your video, you reference that you use mages because they can cancel their parachute and blink away. Is there a reason that you dont have your Overload team just exit vehicle immediately after Overload has started but before they are launched in the air?

Although Red Bull eventually left Australia without a single World Championship point, Sebastian Vettel was buoyed by the RB10's much-improved pace.
After a trying pre-season in which Red Bull struggled to string together more than 20 laps, the team headed to Australia not expecting much.
As in testing, Vettel suffered the bulk of Red Bull's Renault woes while his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo showed some promising pace.
The Aussie qualified second behind Lewis Hamilton and finished second to Nico Rosberg only to later be disqualified when his car was found to have exceeded the fuel flow rate during the grand prix.
But despite the disappointing end to the weekend, Vettel says it was an "encouraging" performance and one the team is looking to build on.
"We still have a lot of work to do with the car but it was encouraging to see that our pace was better than expected in Australia - hopefully we can build on that and start collecting some strong points in the next two races," he said.
Next weekend, Vettel and his rivals will head to the Sepang circuit for the Malaysian GP where the German says high humidity and thunderstorms are just some of the issues they will have to deal with.
"Next stop is Kuala Lumpur, which I like as a city. Downtown can sometimes seem sterile, but then you turn a corner and the streets burst into life with the night markets. Whenever I have time I try to go there and see what they have to offer.
"Looking to the track, the two overtaking possibilities are the first corner and before the last corner, which in both cases is after a long straight; my favourite corners are five and six.
"Beside the challenge of the circuit, you have to cope with the tropical heat. We can be driving in humidity of up to 90%, while big thunderstorms in the afternoon are not uncommon."
A week later it is off to Bahrain for the second part of the double-header where the drivers will swap humidity for a dry desert heat.
"From there we go to Bahrain, where we've recently been for winter testing, so it will feel quite familiar and after the high humidity in Malaysia it will be nice to go to dry heat. Because the circuit is in the middle of the desert, sand can be blown up in the wind on to the racing line.
"The circuit has a nice combination of fast, slow and medium corners and is pretty technical to drive. I also like the rosewater they have instead of champagne!"

Constant trading change
One of the biggest causes of stress for futures and commodity traders is not adapting to changing market conditions. Many traders get used to the market behaving a certain way and learn how to trade specific patterns that repeat during these periods of time. The market then changes and the trader encounters problems adjusting to the different in the way the market is trading.
Often times after markets exhibit strong trends for few weeks to months, the market enters a choppy sideways range bound trading range. During this period of time many traders successfully trade reversal patterns with uncanny degree of accuracy, because the market is consistently trading in a tight trading range. The trader has a good degree of success and develops strong confidence in his trading abilities. Then the market begins a trending phase and the trader gives back everything he lost trading reversal patterns and gets discouraged about his abilities as a trader.
Markets are living entities in constant change and the key to trading survival is to learn to recognize change and adapt. Traders who are rigid in their thinking and do not change when the market begins exhibiting different characteristics, will undoubtedly suffer the consequences of being out of tune with the market and will make things even worse by forcing their ideas and projecting on the market what they believe the market should be doing instead of taking clues and adjusting their trading style to work in the environment that the market is providing at the present time. Often time's traders find it difficult to change their approach because their old approach to trading has worked well for extended periods of time.
This behavior often occurs in different business industries and day trading is not immune from it. To give you an example, I have a good friend who is in the real estate business. He began his career in the early 2000 when the real estate market began a bull run. Over the next six years he became very successful and developed a method of getting new clients by making 50 calls each day 7 days per week to different people he knew.
This was his strategy for getting clients, he was diligent in his phone calls and his method worked. Forwarding things to late 2006, my friend had not closed a single escrow in several months, he continued calling 50 people per day but the results were completely different, no one was interested in buying homes. My friend incorrectly concluded that he was doing something wrong and that he was no longer a good real estate broker.

Hello, I have done some readings into Buddhist philosophies, and have always been very impressed by frequent mention and emphasis on love and compassion as the ultimate goal of enlightenment.
However, I have also noted that Buddhism is a highly relativistic religion/philosophy, one of the things about it that attracted me as opposed to more absolutist theistic religions. If I am incorrect in this assessment, please correct me.
I was contemplating the other day about the concept of an absence of absolute "Truth," and came to the conundrum of love. Pure, selfless love might be described as "the ultimate expression of truth," and I'm sure you'd all agree with me when I say I believe that love is the most powerful force in the universe, if it exists.
Basically, wouldn't the existence of something that powerful constitute an absolute? A truth? A God or at least, God-Force of some kind? Isn't it true that without this absolute, love is nothing more than a chemical reaction in the brain or an advantageous behavior, nothing more?
Please advise me, I am in personal crisis - my theistic friends and family have been posing these questions to me, and I am only beginning in my studies of Buddhism, so I am not entirely certain what the correct answer would be from a Buddhist perspective.
I do know one thing, I don't want to go through life not believing in love.

Full 2005 Honda Civic Review
What's New for 2005
A Special Edition package is introduced for both the sedan and coupe; it features an upgraded audio system with MP3 capability, six-disc CD changer and an auxiliary jack for portable music devices. SE models also include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a wing spoiler and alloy wheels.
Thanks to its frugal and clean engines, spunky performance and reputation for excellent reliability and durability, the Honda Civic has been a consistent benchmark for the economy car class ever since its introduction in 1973. Those qualities continue to apply to the current Civic. Last redesigned in 2001, the Civic is available as a sedan, coupe or hatchback and comes in a number of different trims. While it's a fine car for just about anyone, it should appeal mainly to younger owners, whether they are college students or newly minted parents. It's easy to drive, easy to maintain and comfortable for the entire range of driving, from commuting to long-distance road trips. The Civic coupe has flashier styling than the sedan, but there's really no functional difference between the two. Just pick the trim level that most suits your desires (and budget) and you're on your way. The Si hatchback is the most sporting Civic in the lineup, featuring a more powerful 160-hp engine and a sport-tuned suspension. Though competent and refined, it's lacking in personality and we've found it a step behind cars like the Mazda 3 and Mini Cooper S. For those interested more in fuel economy rather than 0-to-60-mph times, there's the Civic Hybrid sedan. For the Hybrid, Honda has taken the technology pioneered in the Insight and improved on it. It uses a small 1.3-liter, four-cylinder gas engine (85 horsepower) assisted by a 13-hp electric motor. When the driver backs off the throttle or hits the brakes, the energy that is usually wasted is captured in a bank of batteries mounted behind the rear passenger seat. The next time extra power is needed, when pulling away from a dead stop, for instance, that captured energy is, in a sense, recycled. Honda calls this give-and-take between the gasoline engine and the battery the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system. Whatever you choose, it's pretty hard to go wrong with the 2005 Honda Civic. Every time you get into it, you'll know that you're driving a safe, dependable car that causes minimal damage to the environment and will provide years of faithful service.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2005 Honda Civic comes as a coupe, sedan or hatchback. For the coupe and sedan, there are four main trim levels: the base DX (sedan only), base Value Package (coupe), LX and EX. The basic DX offers little more than an AM/FM radio. The VP adds air conditioning and a CD player. If you can swing it, the LX is the better choice, and you'll get most of the features you need, including cruise control; keyless entry; power windows, locks and mirrors; and a tachometer. Going with the EX nets you a moonroof, antilock brakes, variable wipers, a driver seat-height adjuster and alloy wheels. There are also four specialty models: the HX coupe, SE coupe and sedan, Si hatchback and Hybrid sedan. The frugal HX coupe is equipped similarly to the DX coupe, while the SE matches closely to the LX sedan, with the addition of a premium audio system and cosmetic enhancements. The Si hatchback boasts standard rear disc brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, sport seats and special gauges. The Hybrid, in addition to its special powertrain, is most similar to the EX, less the moonroof.
Powertrains and Performance
DX, VP and LX models are powered by a 115-horsepower, 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine. The EX powers up to 127 hp, while the lean-burn 117-hp HX boasts more miserly fuel economy. The HX and Hybrid can be equipped with a continuously variable transmission. The 1.3-liter gasoline-electric powertrain found in the Civic Hybrid makes 93 hp and boasts the best fuel economy figures of the Civic range -- 45 city and 51 highway for manual transmission-equipped cars. The 160-hp Si is the most powerful Civic and comes matched to a close-ratio five-speed manual transmission.
The Civic has a perfect five-star rating for frontal impacts. When equipped with side airbags, the coupe earns a full five stars for side impacts, while the sedan gets four stars with or without the bags. The IIHS gave the Civic a "Good" rating (its best) for frontal offset crash results. Dual front seatbelt pre-tensioners, three-point seatbelts for all five occupants and optional side airbags with a cutoff system that can detect a child or occupant out of position are all offered. ABS isn't offered on DX, VP, HX or LX trims.
Interior Design and Special Features
The Civic's interior is one of the best found in the economy class. It's roomy for the driver and passengers, and possesses a straightforward design and high-quality materials. If you plan on frequently moving bulky items, the Si hatchback, with its 35.7-cubic-foot cargo hold, is the logical choice.
Driving Impressions
With the sedan and coupes, the driving experience isn't the most exciting to be found in this class. The suspension is tuned for a refined and comfortable ride, not necessarily performance. The interior is roomy and quiet, however, and this allows the 2005 Honda Civic to be an excellent car for both commuting and long-distance trips. The Si hatchback is more fun, though not as much as other sporty coupes.

@ashen: What really gets me bout megaupload is that it's users uploaded content is what got it in trouble. The users. Contrary to what those FBI idiots think, there's no crime syndicate unless they are saying the internet is the crime syndicate.
If megaupload's people are convicted, it's gonna set up a dangerous precedent where any file hosting service like photobucket, rapidshare, youtube, hulu,etc. is in danger of immediate shutdown without any warning.
Also, maybe it's the conspiracy theorist in me talking, but I find it very suspicious that megaupload is taken down right after SOPA is delayed. It's like the US wants to demonstrates it has the muscles to take down sites and it's only because they are so 'benevolent' that they haven't done it already.
@mopiece: If it does pass, it's going to be a very sad day in US. Kiss Youtube and wikipedia goodbye.

Anyway, I'm not against anti-piracy. I am against censorship, which is all these bills will really do. And here's the thing: if anti-piracy measures worked, then the anti-piracy measures we have in place should work a lot better than they do. But that's just it- they -don't- really work, in part because they aren't enforced, and in part because if people can get something for free and/or 'stick it to the man', they will.

|Re: SOPA and PIPA
What really bugs me is why were pharma companies supporting the bill? The only thing I see them gaining from that would be the ability to easily shut down alternative medicine sites or sites that provide info about their drugs. . .
Also, I'm inclined to disagree --on an intellectual level-- with the idea that stopping piracy is desirable for legitimate copyright holders.
For example, the owners of Megatokyo and Goblins, among many other web comics, have all their work on the web for free. They still make money off their IP by selling related merchandise and books. Goblins even has s minicomic attached to it where the fate of the main character is determined by the amount of money donated, with goals up in the thousands or even tens of thousands. so far he's survived 11 of these drives.
Microsoft practically made an art of exploiting piracy with Vista and Windows 7 as I hear it... they released Vista, hackers reverse-engineered it and made improvements for their own use and some allowed others to download those changed versions, then Microsoft took those changes and implemented them in Windows 7, and got to charge people another couple hundred bucks per copy for an OS that actually almost works, with almost no effort on their own part.
The maker of TeX(the most popular writing program among people who publish books or papers regularly) has had that out for free for decades and still makes all the money he could want from royalties from the people who sell his users manuals.
These recent so called "piracy" issues have been about the RIAA's and other companies'/groups' desire to charge people between 49 cents and hunrdeds of dollars; for a service that requires no expertise, no equipment that isn't readily available to anyone, and costs less than nothing to perform-- which is copying the file and uploading it to a consumer's computer.

The postponement of the bill is a clever tactic, in my opinion. If the public forgets, it gives a perfect way to introduce laws.
Also, there is no reason for pharmaceuticals to agree except one. That would be to shut down Alternate Sites.

|Re: SOPA and PIPA
It's worse than that. Mozilla could be shut down on a whim because they use the term "Internet" on their site, and as a non-profit don't have enough lawyers to fight Microsoft. Or Yahoo, sine they have an email thing.
Google and most other search engines would definitely be shut down since there is no possible way for them to find all the pirate sites that show up from obscure terms and filter those.
any wiki and forum(using this term loosely so it includes things like youtube) would get shut down that doesn't charge members for membership. the ones that do would make no money from it because they'd be busy paying moderators to scrutinize every post real-time.
any advertising or sales site would get shut down because someone is completely legally selling a third party product.
Sites that have ads on them would be shut down.
and not just at risk-- the owners would have to shut them down to avoid the choice between jail time or lawyer-induced bankruptcy.
and these are just the obvious examples, not to mention the less obvious ones.
Good thing it's not something we have to worry about anymore this year.

I thought the same thing when they did that last november.
Unfortunately, the people pushing/bribing for this bill are being pretty proactive about this so it's probably going to get passed eventually unless everyone who opposes it comes up with some way to shut them up rather than just reacting to their actions.

Re: Best tyres for commuting?
These are very much an underrated tyre, IMNSHO.
I put 2 of them on my commuter (in the 32mm size) back in July 2011 and although there was some difficulties mounting them for the first time [dishwashing soap helps!], I've found them to be great.
The front one is still on the bike, with the original tube still in it. It has done more than 15,000km without ever having had a puncture, outlasting 3 rears. At this stage it looks like it may outlast the 4th one.
The rear one lasted 5,800km. I had worn it out to the point that the treads fell apart, and even after almost having worn through the cotton, it still did not puncture. It should be noted that I am a big guy with a BMI of 27, so I am hard on rear tyres.
I should have bought more of these instead of the Vittoria Randonneur I replaced the rear one with. The sidewalls of the Vittoria are rubbish, and they develop 'blips' because the cotton is very thin and they tend to cut/tear well before the tread wears out. I've had two of them do this now, while the Conti on the front just keeps on truckin'... Oh, and don't let anyone tell you that the Vittoria Randonneurs are puncture proof because they aren't...
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
am just shy of 7000kms on my schwalbe marathon plus tyres. rear is square. a few blue spots starting to show, but still going strong (I weigh over 80kgs, so no feather weight)
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
+1 for Schwalbe Marathon plus, I've done over 4000k and never had a puncture yet (touch wood). I'm over 100kgs so they earn their keep. Although I do switch them between front and rear about every 2K.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
Just replaced the rear 700x28c Marathon Plus on my commuter, just short of 12,500km. Squared off and the whole tyre was blue! I usually stop pushing my luck around then.
Front Tyre has done 14,700km and still going strong, just a few tiny flecks of blue where glass has sliced through.
Puncture history is 0 on the front (this is my 3rd front tyre, so zero in 35,000km!)
On the rear I have punctured 3 times over the same distance. Twice it was a large building tack, once it was a large shard of glass. Less than 1 puncture a year on average
My next set of tyres is the Marathon Supreme as I want to see how these compare. They weigh about 1/3 of the SMP and allegedly have similar puncture protection. If they fail, back to the SMPs!
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
I was going to go a combo next - front - supreme and rear MP
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
I've also been running the GP4 season (28c) on the commuter. While there isn't much clearance to spare I much prefer the extra width compared to the 23c I was running previously.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
love my gp4seasons in a 28mm as well, i can immediately tell the difference when i mount them on my disc equiped cx bike, very close to my road bike feel

Re: Best tyres for commuting?
Half way through fitting a new set of Schwalbe Marathon Supreme, 700c x 28. Thought hmm, this looks narrow. Indeed, the new tyre is 26mm on the rim, the old tyres (Schwalbe Marathon) are 30mm wide, though both are nominally 28s...
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
Going for durano plus on the rear in a 23 for my next tyre. Tried wider tyres, don't like em. I'll go for a regular durano on the front once the lithion 25's are finito.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
Switched to Vittoria Zafiro 700 x 23c tyres due to the rolling resistance of the Randonneurs. At $10 per tyre, couldn't say no.
Rolling resistance is still higher than the Kenda's, but much much less than the Randonneurs. Has a wider patch that meets with the road than the Kenda's which I assume is the difference.
No punctures with either Vittoria tyre, 1000kms later. Happy with that.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
Am I correct in assuming that narrower tyres generally provide less rolling resistance than a wider tyre, but not as much grip in wet / slippery conditions?
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
My understanding is:
At the same pressure the wider tyre has less rolling resistance
You shouldn't run a wider tyre at the same pressure
At the ideal pressure for that size the narrower tyre will have less rolling resistance
The narrower tyre will have less aero drag
Tread pattern and compound will also impact rolling and aero
Compound and to a small extent tread will provide grip on smooth roads
Tread pattern will provide grip on loose surfaces
Wider tyres are more forgiving/progressive as you reach the limit of grip
Lower pressure (as run on wider tyres) will roll and grip better on rough surfaces
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
I'm looking at the differences between the GP 4seasons and the Gatorskin.
My 25c Gatorskins are beginning to square off at the rear so I might need a new one towards the end of the year. So far as a commuting tire they've been great and I'm considering going to the 28c (now that I have another road bike for pleasant Sunday rides).
I'm also thinking about the Continental Contact, which my dad has on his flat-bar roadie. I like the reflective strip but I'm not sure if I need a tread pattern like that as I only commute on asphalt/concrete.

Re: Best tyres for commuting?
+1 for Durano Plus. Roll relatively well, and seem to wear ok.

Re: Best tyres for commuting?
Loving the first few weeks of the Marathon Supremes. Despite being notably narrower, my brain is telling me they roll faster (possibly placebo, I have no speedo. Really only apparent on the downhills) but more surprisingly, smoother over rough patches.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
I still haven't got new tyres for the mighty Ribble yet. The durano I had on there is gone. It was puncture free but wore out after 3-4 k. Casing material showing in several parts of the tread
I'm currently using a lithion 2 in a 25c as that is what I had.
I'm after something that wears a bit better than the durano. I'm limited to a 25 as that is all that will fit on the Ribble and that is a squeeze. I can modify the chain stay bridge mount for the chromoplastic to get slightly more clearance but would prefer not to.
Has anyone used the marathon plus in a 25c?
Are they a large (tall) 25c?
Do they wear well?
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
My marathon plus tyres are 25c.
large - well I have them on a pro-lite como. and they are definitely bigger than a 23c but smaller than a 28c.
do they wear well? yes. I'm just over 80kgs. Add a backpack etc. Got 8200kms out of the rear tyre before changing it.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
I've just ordered some 25mm veloflex masters from Ribble. Loving the 23mm masters on the bike at the moment. Very comfy and a 1000 puncture free km so far. I'm just interested to see how much more comfort and grip a token 2 extra mm will give me. Hopefully they will squeeze in between the chain stays of the Geoff Scott.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
Great feedback thanks Jason.
You are a little heavier than me, so that sounds like good mileage. I'll give one a crack on the rear.
Front tyres last for ages anyway so I'll just go for a rear at the moment.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
I must have upset the tyre gods.
My 38mm Marathon Plus got a puncture after 510kms
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
On the other hand, my 2" Marathon Greenguard had a 5mm or so piece of a branch go past the thread on an angle and into the Greenguard stuff, but didn't puncture. I just stopped, pulled the bit of branch out and kept riding.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
I think I was just unlucky.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
I'm reluctantly writing that I'm on the second set of marathon plus tyres, yet to have a puncture. Knock on wood. I've put them on my partner's bike too. I've stopped carrying a spare.
Re: Best tyres for commuting?
Well I've changed to marathons after a succession of punctures on my commuter.
I think I've done about 500k with no drama. They roll better than the Vitoria randonneurs I was using. It's nice not getting flats on the commuter too.
So far I'm happy. I'm itching to try some supremes though as they look quite good.
Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.

The Scientization of Politics
The politicization of science—or, as Michael Mann calls it, the scientization of politics—is a familiar reality for Americans concerned about climate change. Instead of focusing on how to address the problem, we've spent years debating whether there's scientific consensus that there is one (the answer is yes). That's the result of a dedicated campaign by corporate interests to spread doubt and discredit scientists.
Michael Mann has more experience with the process than most. Mann is a climatologist, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University, and author of the books Dire Predictions: Understanding Global Warming and The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines. In this talk, he discusses how to approach climate science in a politicized world.

The World Motor Sport Council has ratified changes to the 2013 calendar during its final meeting of the year in Istanbul on Wednesday.
There is one change to the calendar for next year with the German Grand Prix moved to July 7, which is one week after the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and the same weekend as the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Nurburgring, which alternates with Hockenheimring, is set to host the German GP, but the venue is yet to be confirmed by the FIA.
A press release from the FIA said the vacant July 21 date, one week before the Hungarian GP, has been "reserved for another F1 European event, subject to the approval of the relevant ASNs", which will bring the total of races to 20 again following the postponement of the Jersey GP.
According to reports, the Turkish GP at Istanbul Park is set to make its return on July 21, but the French GP at either Paul Ricard or Magny-Cours is also believed to be in contention.
The Turkish GP was dropped from the 2012 calendar while France last hosted a race in 2008.
